For me, when
I think of leave-in-conditioner, I think of light weight,
sweet smelling, liquid sprays that claim to give intense moisture but
really only works for a couple of hours. I know leave-in-conditioners work for
a lot of people but I guess me being someone with long (weave) and thick
hair (afro hair), I often feel that a lot of the leave-in-conditioners could
give more moisture and the ones that do give a lot of moisture could be less
greasy.
So when I walked into
Boots last week to buy a drink, I really was not very interested in this
"extraordinary" new leave-in-conditioner for dry hair. In fact, I was
even more put off by the fact that it was a lotion because I assumed it would be
thick, heavy and greasy. However, the persistent sales woman was very eager for me to at least try
it, so I reluctantly put some on my hair, clearly stated to her that
"we'll see if it lasts all day" and headed over to the drinks aisle.
I did not want to admit that to my
surprise it did not have that sticky, greasy texture, instead the small patch
of hair where I applied the lotion felt deeply nourished, light and soft.
However, in no way was I prepared to buy it then, because I know from past
experiences that most leave-in-conditioners feel great on your hair at first.
Even so, I could not deny that I loved the delightful smell of the product on
my hair which I have to assume was the 6 flower oils that the sales woman was
talking about.
It was not until when I got back home
after a long day of work; after my hair had been abused my rain and wind all
day that I realised that, that same patch of hair was still beautifully soft.
In actual fact, when I looked in the mirror it even had a shine to it. I was
very impressed!
So the next day, I swallowed my pride and
I bought this amazing product for £6.99 and my hair has honestly, never been
softer! It has a lustrous shine, a weightless free flowing feel to it and a
delicate floral fragrance.
Although some may argue that £6.99 is a
bit on the pricey side for a leave-in-conditioner, I would argue that one, it
works so it is worth it and two, with this product, less is so much more,
therefore, it will last longer.
This product really is
"EXTRAORDINARY" so, if you don't mind applying a product to your hair
with your hands then the new L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil-in-Cream Leave-in-Conditioner should really be at the top of your shopping list.
