I recently received a complimentary set, compliments of Influenster, of L'Oréal Paris Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight for hair. This set includes a straightening shampoo, pre-conditioner, conditioner and pefecting balm.
I was immediately hooked from the first bottle I opened - the shampoo left my hair feeling the softest it's EVER felt. I don't know if it is the kera-tourmaline, but this product really WORKS! My normal hair type is wavy and frizzy and this product line relaxed the strands of hair, making it much easier for me to straighten my unruly hair.
Next, I applied the pre-conditioner and left it in my hair for only 1 minute as the directions on the back stated (how quick and easy is this?!). And then the conditioner - for 1-3 minutes - the perfect amount of time to wash my face and finish up any last minute showering. Once I towel dried my hair, I coated it with a dime-size amount of the perfecting balm, which seals in the keratin and protects hair against heat up to 450 degrees. I then let my hair air-dry for a few hours and then finished up with a hair straightener. I love that the perfecting balm protects my hair from any heat damage that would normally occur from the straight iron (and I get the skip the step of having to spray my hair with a separate hair protector). In the end, my hair is now shiny, sleek, smooth and very soft. I've tried other straightening products in the past that haven't worked half as well as this. It is a must-try for those of you who desire super straight, healthy hair!
