L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Volumetry shampoo

Manufacturer Promises: anti-gravity shampoo to add volume to fine hair, a derivative of calcium crystals spreads over the surface of each hair, creating fulcrum between the individual hairs. The hair remains light and, connected by these points, forms a network that allows you to maintain volume for a long time.

They twirled this, that I immediately want to check these "fulcrum points" and how they connect between our hair (just like in the scientific film Discovery).

And nowcomposition: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS), MIPA-Laureth SUlfate, Sodium Chloride, COcamidopropyl BEtaine, GLycerin, PEG-18, Castor OIl, Acocado Oil, Laureth-5 Carboxylic Acid, PPG-5 Ceteth-20, Sodium Benzoate, Laureth- 2, Polyquaternium-53, Salicylic Acid, Limonene, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, GEraniol, Citral, Benzyl Alchohol, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, Parfum.

Surfactants are soft in comparison, which are in the shampoos of the mass market, also in the composition of glycerin, castor oil, avocado oil, salicylic acid, although in general the composition is chemical.

The consistency of the shampoo is transparent, semi-liquid, like a gel, the smell is fresh, it smells like "chemical herbs", so to speak. It lathers perfectly, like all shampoos with SLS, therefore it is very economical, and it washes the hair well, but not until it squeaks.

I will not say that I expect a miracle from the shampoo on my hair, it should rinse the hair well and not cause itching of the scalp, but it should not dry the length, and if it also moisturizes it, it will just be "super shampoo ". Unfortunately, this did not happen with this shampoo and it did not become a "super shampoo" for me. I like and dislike this shampoo at the same time, on the one hand there is a volume and quite noticeable, especially when paired with a conditioner, even if I take a nourishing or moisturizing mask instead of a conditioner, the volume is still there. But, on the other hand, my dry hair in length sticks out even more after this shampoo and one more minus, that the hair loses shine, although this is fixable with hair oil. I still use it because I like the volume after it and the fact that the hair stays clean longer.

On a five-point scale, the shampoo deserves a four, my hair still lacks hydration, although the manufacturer claims that the shampoo is for volume, not moisturizing or restoring.

L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Volumetry Conditioner

What the manufacturer promises: sensational volume while maintaining lightness and tenderness of the hair. The conditioner is designed to provide maximum volume and shine to fine hair. Strengthens and restores hair, gives it long-lasting volume for 24 hours, facilitates the process of combing and styling. After using the conditioner, thin hair becomes dense, thick and bouncy. The conditioner has a delicate citrus scent.

Composition: Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Aminoppropyl Triethoxysilane, Starch Acetate, Cetyl Esters, Isopropyl Alcohol, Lactic Acid, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Limonene, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal.

The conditioner is thick in consistency (even very), it is difficult even to squeeze out from the tube, the smell is rich, but not citrus, as the manufacturer writes. The conditioner needs to be applied for 2-3 minutes and rinsed thoroughly with water, it is difficult to rinse off the hair, so you need to try to rinse it off.

At the expense of the density and density (which the manufacturer promises, which I bought), I did not notice it. Although my hair is softer and easier to comb after the conditioner, there is not enough nutrition for my dry hair.

Summary: if you have naturally thin, soft hair that quickly gets greasy and does not have any special problems, then shampoo will suit you, and in tandem with a conditioner will help keep the length of your hair in good condition.
