Buying the L'Oreal
Paris Total Repair Five counts as one of the worst
mistakes of my entire life. I hate it!
HATE it! And to top it all, I bought a huge, huge bottle of it and I’m
wondering what to do now since I can’t throw it away.
To sum it up in a nutshell, this sucks big
time. I’m so, so, so disappointed with L'Oreal!
What the product claims:
The 1st Total Repair for damaged hair with Ceramide cement that
fights five hair problem- Hair fall, dryness, roughness, Dullness and Splits
Ends. This technology replicates the hair’s natural cement. It helps repair and
strengthen the hair’s fibre and smoothen its surface.
Damaged hair loses its cement that keeps it strong and healthy.
L’Oreal laboratories have developed a repairing formula with Ceramide Cement
that works similarly to natural ceramide that fills the cracks, seal the scales
and the hair is repaired.
PROVEN RESULTS: Day after day, combat the 5 signs of damaged hair
with 1 solution for hair to become:
1. Stronger ; 2. Nourished; 3. Shinier; 4. Smoother ; 5.Less Split-ends
TOTAL REPAIR 5 : 5 PROBLEMS= 1 SOLUTION.
L'Oreal Paris Total Repair Five Shampoo…
Does it work?
These are
the five problems the shampoo promised to work on. As you can see only the hair
fall part of it worked. I don’t have split ends though so no comments on that.
ü hairfall
X dryness
X dullness
ü roughness
split ends (no comment)
L’oreal paris conditioner:
ü Hairfall
ü Roughness
X Dryness
X Dulness
Splitends
(no comments)
Packaging:
I like the packaging. Red, white and gold. It’s
a very royal color combination.
Texture/
Smell:
The shampoo’s
texture is neither too thick nor too thin. Just right. Sam goes for the
conditioner. However, the conditioner stink. It smells of cement (due to the
ceramide cement) mixed with floral but luckily only the floral smell stays on
my hair. The shampoo has a sort-of floral – fruity smell. It may be a little
over powering for those with a sensitive nose.
Price:
Shampoo –
135INR (180 ml)
Conditioner-150INR
(180 ml)
My experience:
My hair is
very moody. I have dry hair yet my scalp is oily and no split ends (thank God)
and my hair is dull with the softness of it varying.
The Total
Repair Five shampoo dried up my hair so bad it’s like an afro. Literally. But
my hair has become considerably soft but the dryness ruins it all. Dullness
wise, I feel my hair has become duller than before. The hair fall control is
not as good as the L'Oreal Paris Hair Fall Control products but at least my hair
doesn’t fall as much as it used to before.
Pros:
Reduces
hairfall
Softens
hair
Cons:
The
other three claims don’t work
Verdict: All in all I don’t think I’d ever
buy this product again.
Rating: ♥1/2/♥♥♥♥
Ps – What do you think
about the total repair five?
Cheers!
