Hi Everyone!
I thought I would review something for hair today. Now some of you may know that I have insanely curly hair. It's ridiculous. My hair is also very dry and frizzy and I live off deep conditioners. Without deep conditioners, I do not even want to know what my hair would look like. So today I thought I would talk about a deep conditioner that has changed my hair. In a good way. I have tried so many deep conditioners and so I know a lot about them.
This specific deep conditioner is the L'oreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm is part of a newish collection by L'oreal called the Total Repair 5. This collection is specifically targeted for people who have damaged, dry hair. L'oreal has other collections but this one caught my attention because of my specific needs.
Now on to the deep conditioner. What first drew me in to trying this product is that it was in a pretty big tub. Also, my mom had bought the shampoo and conditioner and it smelled really nice. When I first tried it, it said to keep it in your hair for 10 to 15 minutes. Now I normally keep deep conditioner in my hair for about 30 to 45 minutes. I know a bad habit. But I never had a problem, until I kept this product in for that amount of time. It made my hair incredibly dull and dry and frizzy and I was actually pretty mad about it. So I put it to the side and tried other deep conditioners. Then I went back to it and actually put it in for 15 minutes. And when I woke up the next day, my hair was smooth, soft, fluffy (in a good way) and not dull at all. I was really impressed.
So if you want to try this product, don't leave it in for a ridiculous amount of time like I did. Actually leave it in for the amount of time it tells you to. Also, this product lasted me quite a long time. Normally I go through deep conditioners in like two months tops but I finished this after four months. Which was really impressive. I also like that this was in a tub so you had control of the amount of product you want to put into your hair. It helped me not go over board on deep conditioner.
I do not actually know what the balm means and why it is important but I can tell it is a thicker consistency than most deep conditioners. Maybe that is why it is called a balm.
I definitely give this product a four out of five. Now I do believe this will work for any hair type but if you have very fine hair, use about a dime sized amount. Also, this product works fine with color treated hair because I have color treated hair and it has not stripped the color out of my hair. But if you are nervous that it might, L'oreal has a line that is specifically for color treated hair, L'oreal Color Vibrancy.
I hope this review helps all of you who are having trouble finding a good deep conditioner.
Carpe Diem,
Sophia
