I love the way Aishwarya comes swirling in that freaking gorgeous red dress and lets her hair flutter across the TV screen like unwinding a spool of silk. Its true-whatever this lady says-seems to be true- hehe. Well, this time she got me into buying the L’Oreal Total Repair Five Repairing conditioner-for my hair that doesn’t actually need “repair” –but the regular shampoos hardly do anything to the hair other than cleaning the scalp. For that extra shine-one has to resort to either a conditioner or an after wash serum. Personally I like conditioners more than serums-since the later STAYS on the hair-and I have an eerie feeling that it is attracting dust!!! The apply-and-wash-off type conditioner is what I prefer mostly.
What the product Claims:
It combats 5 signs of damage: Hair fall, Dryness, Roughness, Dullness, Split ends
Damaged Hair can lack the natural cement which keeps the hair strong & resilient.
To ensure cohesion & strength, the l'Oreal laboratories have created ceramide cement technology to replace the hair's natural cement, targetting the 5 problems.
>Repairs: the hair fibres, the hair structure is re-enforced and hair regains strength like new
>Transforms: the hair surface to a regular & smooth conditioner 
Me-Talk:
Well-I have tried various brands in conditioner previously-Himalaya, Ultra Doux, Garnier Fructis, L'Oreal Paris Nutri Gloss Mirror Shine and many years ago- a conditioner named Flex from Revlon. I find the Loreal total repair five conditioner to be an average quality one among them. On the first use-I might have poured some extra bit of it-the reason I am explaining later-and my hair remained limp for two days. Also I found-the most optimum amount of this conditioner- makes the hair soft and manageable-but it weighs it down too-I need to comb it several times to make it get the volume. The good thing is-it makes the brush easy to pull through. As for strengthening-honestly-I could find no significant difference. I think all this conditioner does is- make my hair smooth and silky-but it left me wanting for the airy softness that Aishwarya so proudly flaunts. Also the smooth effect goes away after another single wash.
Pro-Side:
1) Makes hair smooth and manageable
2) Prevents tangles and makes hair easy to comb through
3) Price is reasonable
4) Nice fragrance
Down Side :
1) Weighs hair down-and makes it totally limp if overused
2) Effect doesn’t last long
3) The top-down packaging is responsible for letting the extra amount out-the flip cap at the bottom always lets out more than what is required for my average length hair . And its quite a menace to get the extra amount inside as well. See the Picture below

Pooja-okk then-you can tell us how u felt about the Loreal conditioner after u have used it :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteTaps- I had similar reaction with Garnier fructis-as well as Dove-so I religiously stick to HImalaya in the hair department :)
ReplyDeleteFaby: Thanku for reading the review n I so glad u liked it :) you can try it to see if it suits u-I will personally recommend Himalaya protein conditioner though :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like any of the types of L'oreal hair care products except the color protect one- red one. I have used all the types- red-white(above), beige one, red one, pink one and among all red one is bit better (if your hair is colored). Stated the color of the containers coz I don't remember the specific names.
ReplyDeleteAfter using I used to feel my hair to be kinda sticky.. fragrance used to be good initially but does not last long. Best hair care products are by Dove :)
Ohh !!! Actually me too felt my hair to be weighed down after using this Loreal conditioner-however-I shall review another Loreal hair care product shortly which I really liked-totally opposite to this one..u can check that out :)
