You heard me right. I have wonky hair lately ever since I undergo L’Oreal Professionnel HAIRchalk. Don’t worry. HAIRchalk is fine.

You heard me right. I have wonky hair lately ever since I undergo L’Oreal Professionnel HAIRchalk. Don’t worry. HAIRchalk is fine. Just that the patches I have is larger thus the unusual dryness on the hair. Every night I applied generous amount of L’Oreal Professional Mythic Oil (Nourishing Oil) on damp hair and on the next morning but my hair is still dry. My hair just drinks up to Mythic Oil!

Then Kérastase Cristalliste came to the rescue. My hair loves it so much that I must tell you how amazeball these product is. No more wonky hair 😀

Kerastase Cristalliste 2

 

Kérastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Masque (RM136 / 200ml)

Now, I know hair masque is not suppose to be used daily but my case is exceptional. The weird thing is I no longer suffer from sensitive and dry scalp as that has turned to a complete different scenario. I have dry hair that is totally unmanageable. My hair was so wonky that I have puffy hair style all the time, which is rare because my hair is usually silky straight. I was kinda happy as any hair style I had on stay put. But on the other hand I can’t even comb through my hair. It was that badly dry.

I’ve tried all hair masque at home but all fails. It’s really odd as those used to work on my normal hair. That was until I used this Kérastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Masque.

Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Masque 4
First thing that I notice is the strawberry, shimmery pink cream. So lovely and girly. The smell is amazing. It smells like candy to me but not sweet. My nose also pick up some floral scent.

So what this hair masque do is to nourishes and protects the hair while making it more luminous and shiny. This is the first step in treating my dry hair and it gives back shine to my dull hair. Almost instantly I can run my fingers through my hair, which I haven’t been able to do so in days.

Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Masque 5
This hair masque is like a pearlescent cream. The cream is enriched with Dry Oil to intensely nourish the hair by forming a smooth layer of film over each strands of hair. The formula is also infused with Candelilla Cera, which is a wax-like texture to coat the hair fibre and Ceramide, to fill in damaged hair cuticles. Sound like the right ingredients for my hair 😀

Most people are afraid that hair masque will drag their hair length down but not this one. It also contain Polymer that adds body to the hair. To be frank I don’t see any oiliness or extra weight on the hair after using the hair masque. All I know is my hair loves this one and they “listen” to the products very well.

That’s the ground work. What I have next is the saviour to my dry hair.

Kerastase Cristalliste Luminous Perfecting Masque 6

 

Kérastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum (RM82 / 30ml)

I don’t know about you but this Kérastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum reminds me of double serum skin care. Packaging might be similar but in fact this is a double serum for the hair.

Of the duo, this Kérastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum is the first product I picked up and use immediately after shampooing my hair the same night I received it. Unlike hair masque, I do have a habit of using hair serum every night after shampoo without fail. My hair was damaged previously so I realised the importance of keeping the hair length as alive as the top root.

Kerastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum 4
This product’s unique characteristic is its dual-action effectiveness. Although Kérastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum is a double serum, it only comes in a single pump with two dispense nozzle hole. I find the pump to be a bit hard to press down but I get used to it after a few times. The bottle is semi-milky color so I can still see the two different serum tube holder on the inside.

Kerastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum 5
Kérastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum dispense out in two different serum with two different color. One serum is to repair the hair and another is a gloss to add shine to the hair.

I learnt that this serum contain AHA. This ingredient is often known and used more in skin care but also beneficial in strengthening the interior of the hair fibre. When both serum is mixed up, the “mirror-like” texture acts as a light reflector gloss by smoothing the hair fibre, while Ceramide fills in the gap on the hair surface

On the first usage, I used three full pumps of Kérastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum onto my damp hair. I waited for my hair to dry and I was amazed with how less puffy my hair is even on first use only. I can even comb my hair and run my fingers through when it’s dry. I realized how much I miss my smooth straight hair.

Kerastase Cristalliste Dual Sculpting Serum 6
I’ve been using both product diligently every single day with generous amount to tame down all the frizzy and dry hair. Eventhough I see positive result even on first use, I was determined to revive my hair back to it’s normal state. After just less than a week, I’m happy with the state of my hair, although not fully smoothen out yet but I was so happy to be able to ditch that wonky hair especially the hair on the top of my head. They are no longer frizzy and unmanageable.

Of all the hair care range available under L’Oreal Professionnel umbrella, Série Expert is a complete haircare system with exclusive home care regimens and in-salon treatments, features innovative molecular precision technology. The advanced technology behind this range allows formulas to target specific parts of the hair to help deliver long-lasting results. With a range for every hair type, Série Expert provides the nourishing protection needed to achieve beautiful, healthy looking hair.

The product range under Série Expert is divided into quite a number of different range targeted to different need and requirement. Today I’m going to talk about the Liss Unlimited Range, which is a range especially to smooth rebellious hair 😀

L'Oreal21


I have fine long straight hair. I bet you already know that ;). I like how my hair is at the moment…naturally straight that are not too straight as if I’ve gone to a rebonding process, fine and not coarse, shoulder length that are not too long. However, my hair could be slightly “off the track” because I didn’t undergo any rebonding. In L’Oreal term…that is called rebellious hair. Rebellious hair is those hair that are frizzy, that are totally flying over other hair as if there’s static. Try looking over a mirror. You can easily spot these rebellious hair on the surface of your hair length :D. I have it. Many people have it. It’s not a big deal but if I can tame it down…why not eh?

 

Liss Unlimited Smoothing Shampoo (RM50/250ml)

L’Oréal Professionnel Liss Unlimited Shampoo is the solution for user that are looking for a super smooth, luscious locks that are bursting with vitality and lustre. As the name suggest, this is the shampoo for frizzy and rebellious hair.

Just so you might want to know, this product replaces Liss Extreme Shampoo 🙂

L'Oreal22
The shampoo itself is quite thick and creamy. A little goes a long way. You can easily go wrong with the amount of shampoo used. My best advice is to use a little as below and add more when needed, depending on the hair thickness and length.

I cannot stress enough on pouring the shampoo on your palm and lather well before massaging onto your hair. The shampoo lathers up well but not overly foamy due to it’s thickness. The scent on the other hand is to die for. It smells so good!

Remember when I said you can easily go wrong with the amount of shampoo used? Well, it happened to me. I used too much on my first day and my hair ended up greasy and heavy. I reduced the amount and the same happens. For me this shampoo is quite tricky as I don’t have much hair on the top of my head. All my hair is concentrated from the mid section downwards. After a good 2 weeks of using this, I find that the shampoo is simply just too rich for my hair type and scalp. My hair weights down so badly that my fringe is so greasy and it’s a pain to manage. The rest of my hair length love this. Because of the formula to tame rebellious hair, my scalp is overly moisturized that it’s itchy most of the time. Now I’ve ended up with dandruff. It’s not a biggie because dandruff is easier to get rid off.

I think this shampoo suits those that have really really dry hair. I have no doubt that this can tame rebellious hair cause it really does what it claimed to be based on what it does for my hair haha! 😀

L'Oreal23
Liss Unlimited Shampoo is formulated with Oil Incell technology. A technology which cleverly mimics the hair’s lost ceramides. When this technology is combined with the addition of highly nourishing argan and olive oils , you get a shampoo that leaves hair smoothed, conditioned and gleaming with health.

Here is the ingredient list.

L'Oreal24
Liss Unlimited is really a complete haircare system that will help replenish and smooth even rebellious hair for a more manageable, frizz-free result. Therefore there is three types of different treatment for the home use. I’ll start with the rinse-off type 😀

L'Oreal25

 

Liss Unlimited Smoothing Masque (RM67/200ml)

I find that it is quite odd that there is no conditioner in this range. Then I realized it is because of the treatment products that acts as a conditioner. Therefore there is no need to a conditioner 🙂

Smoothing Masque is a great alternative to substitute to conditioner. It intensely nourish, repair and smooth  frizzy, unmanageable hair. This pampering treat is said to works in minutes, leaving you with super smooth, luscious locks.

L'Oreal26
The masque have this grape scent to it. But that’s not the uniqueness of the product. What’s unique is the fine shimmer particle in the masque itself. I like that it is not too dry in texture but the texture is just nice, almost like a conditioner except that it is more solid.

I’ve tried with and without using this masque. Although Smoothing Shampoo itself do gave me that softness and moisture but it’s a total different story when I incorporated in this Smoothing Masque. The masque changes the overall texture of my hair length. It doesn’t weights down my hair, not oily or sticky after rinsing but just pure softness and smooth hair. Maybe because I don’t apply this on the scalp so it doesn’t add unnecessary weight on my hair. No wonder this masque is treated as a conditioner!

L'Oreal27
Here is a good example of my hair length with just Liss Unlimited Smoothing Shampoo and Smoothing Masque. As you can see the shampoo gave me flat and greasy hair on the top of my head. The rest of my hair love this combination 🙂

L'Oreal29
L’Oréal Professionnel Liss Unlimited Masque uses its key technology, Polymer AR, to wrap the hair fibre with a special anti-humidity shield, keeping it smooth and glossy while stopping frizz in its tracks. Below is the ingredient list.

L'Oreal28

 

Liss Unlimited Smoothing Cream (RM60/150ml)

This new leave-in product is the first smoothing cream for a glossy finish and perfectly smooth with anti-frizz effect. Smoothing Cream is an innovative finishing for more brightness, smoothness and softness for the hair. It is enriched with Pro Keratin and Kukui seed evening primrose oils.

L'Oreal30
This leave-in cream is most probably my favorite product after Smoothing Masque. The texture is lighter than the masque but eventhough so it’s not very light either. It is still very creamy and thick. Just like the masque, I find shimmer bits in it. The only different is that the shimmer is more finer.

It is recommended to apply this cream onto damp or towel dry hair and then blow dry. For the first few usage I was so lazy to blow dry my hair. My hair doesn’t turn greasy at all but I think the result will be even better if I were to blow dry my hair :). If you are like me…lazy with blow drying hair every day, you can still use this leave-in cream. Just use moderate amount will do.

L'Oreal31
Below is the ingredient list.

L'Oreal32

 

Liss Unlimited Shine Perfecting Blow-Dry Oil (RM60/125ml)

Last but not least, another favorite product of mine is this Liss Unlimited Shine Perfecting Blow-Dry Oil. You know how much of a fan I am with anything related to oil regardless for face, for body or for hair. It is a featherweight conditioning evening primrose oil that works on the most difficult frizz-prone hair, leaving a perfectly polished finish, even taming those rebellious hair.

L'Oreal33
Of all hair oil I ever used, this one is particularly more watery. One pump is too much for the whole head including length therefore I take my sweet time with dispensing lesser amount. If you ask me, half pump is still quite a lot even for my hair length. What I usually do is to slowly push the pump down dispensing drop by drop.

Surprisingly the scent of this product is not too overpowering. It is almost scentless on my nose. Texture wise is quite okay. Not too thick and oily. It doesn’t leave any oil residue behind as this oil dries down completely.

L'Oreal34
Below is the ingredient list.

L'Oreal35
Here is my tame hair after applying Liss Unlimited Shine Perfecting Blow-Dry Oil. Usually I only apply this right before I leave my house. Basically this product gave me a piece of mind for the rest of the day knowing my hair will be smooth and tame.

L'Oreal36
Initially I was quite confuse with all three treatment. So I thought of sharing with you how I use it. Are you confuse with the three treatment product as well? Let’s make things simple. You can use either one, for example if you use the Smoothing Masque (that acts like conditioner) and you think that’s enough for you. Just let it be. All you need to remember is to use either the Smoothing Masque (wash off) or Smoothing Cream (leave-in) after shampooing your hair. If you think your hair is frizzy the next morning after you wake up, just apply some Shine Perfecting Blow-Dry Oil to tame those tresses. It’s what I usually do 😉

Do comment below if you need any further explanation. I’d be gladly to help 😀

L’Oréal Professionnel Liss Unlimited Range is now available at all L’Oréal Professionnel salons nationwide.
Price:
(1) Smoothing Shampoo – RM50/250ml
(2) Smoothing Masque – RM67/200ml

I think I mentioned this before :D. My hair is considered the less problematic one and I don’t really have to spend time and pay a lot of attention to it. I do suffer occasional hair loss and dandruff due to stress but that comes and go. Then…my scalp took a 180 degree turn six months ago. Out of the sudden I suffer from sensitive scalp. My scalp became so dry that it flakes. Flaky scalp and dandruff is different. If you find white bits on your shoulder, that is flaky scalp not dandruff. Treating flaky scalp with hair care for dandruff doesn’t help but make things worse. Not only did I suffer from flaky scalp. My scalp is red, painful and veins are visible.

Before I knew the difference between flaky scalp with dandruff, I was treating my problem with hair care for dandruff. Not only it doesn’t cure my problem, it make things worse. I was in a red, painful scalp for a few months before I knew what went wrong. I visited my usual hair salon for a hair cut and my stylist told me that my scalp is actually sensitive and dry. She suggested that I use hair care for sensitive scalp, not anything else. I was introduced to Kérastase Dermo-Calm range.

Kerastase12
According to Kérastase, hair beauty is determined within the scalp. That is why Kerastase created Dermo-Calm range for sensitive and stressed scalps.

 

Kérastase Specifique Bain Vital Dermo-Calm Hypoallergenic Hydra-Soothing Shampoo (RM78 / 250ml)

I am lucky to have a hair stylist that only recommend product that I need and that is suitable for my condition. She introduced me this range but did not ask me to buy everything in the range. Instead she told me I only need the shampoo to cure my problem. Her advice? “Use for one whole month with nothing else”.

This innovative shampoo is designed to soothe sensitive scalps. I guess you already know that :D. It provides the hair with a gentle yet effective cleanse. How it works is that it calm all the irritation and at the same time prevent itching. Sensitive scalp do have itchy scalp. Which is why the redness doesn’t goes off. Kérastase said that this shampoo is created to keep the hair moisturized, shiny and super soft, while feeling both refreshed and rejuvenated.

Kerastase13
The bottle design is unique, which is the signature Kérastase design. When my stylist showed me this shampoo, I was happy because the color is already looking promising. The bottle might looked a bit small but in fact it is not. Each bottle contain 250ml, which is a lot as you don’t really need a lot each wash. It doesn’t comes with a pump so dispensing the right amount of shampoo is a bit tricky. There are times I accidentally poured out too much of shampoo so yeah, do pay attention when you are pouring the shampoo.

Kerastase14
Not only the bottle is in ocean blue color, so does the shampoo itself. Below is roughly the amount of shampoo I used for each wash. What I do is I pour the shampoo on to my palm, lather with both palm and massage onto wet hair. This shampoo doesn’t lather much on palm. But when in contact with wet hair, it lather just like normal shampoo.

The smell is amazing. It doesn’t leave any oily residue behind and rinsed off very clean, leaving me with fresh and light-weight hair. It cleans well but doesn’t dry my scalp. As my sensitive scalp was quite bad, it took me nearly a month to calm the scalp down. Slowly, bit by bit I can see the redness is gone especially the redness all over the front of my head. The flaky scalp is also reduced bit by bit. When flaky scalp is reduced, itchy scalp is also reduced. Now I am about 80% cured. There is still a bit of flaky scalp to handle.

Kerastase15
Here is the ingredient list for Kérastase Specifique Bain Vital Dermo-Calm Hypoallergenic Hydra-Soothing Shampoo.

Kerastase16
I was overwhelmed when I was sent with two treatment product from Dermo-Calm range to try.

 

Kérastase Specifique Sensidote Dermo-Calm Intense Scalp Soothing Serum (RM82 / 50ml)

I wasn’t advised to apply anything directly on to the scalp for one month so that I don’t stress my scalp any further. When my sensitive scalp was getting better, I can now use this. Specifique Sensidote Dermo-Calm Intense Scalp Soothing Serum is designed to soothe the scalp and give the hair an unbeatablely soft texture that lasts. It is suitable to be used on sensitive scalps and although the range is for sensitive scalp, it is also suitable for all hair types. Kérastase said that this serum will help to relax the scalp and give the scalp some much needed TLC 🙂

Kerastase17
The serum comes in a glass dropper bottle. Reason behind the dropper bottle is because you will need to apply the serum section by section directly onto the scalp. It is quite tricky to gauge the right amount to use because it wasn’t stated in the instruction. I guess you will need to use it regularly to get the preferred suitable amount for your liking and scalp suitability.

Kerastase18
The serum is quite runny, unlike Kérastase Initialiste which is more solid. Intense Scalp Soothing Serum smells amazing too. After a few application I finally get the right amount for my scalp. I use 3/4 full dropper, dispensing onto my scalp by section from the front to the back of my scalp. Usually 3/4 dropper amount is sufficient for me. After that I used all 10 of my fingers and massage the serum into my scalp.

Intense Scalp Soothing Serum is so light that it doesn’t leave any oily residue on the scalp. I know some people might be worried that this will make the scalp oily the next day or weight the hair down but I experience none of those on my scalp. It practically dries down as if I didn’t apply anything.

Using this serum accelerate the speed recovery for my sensitive scalp. Sometimes I forget to use this serum and I ended up with itchy scalp the next morning. Which means it does help with soothing the scalp :D. Love this.

Kerastase20
Here is the ingredient list for Kérastase Specifique Sensidote Dermo-Calm Intense Scalp Soothing Serum.

Kerastase19

 

Kérastase Specifique Sensidote Dermo-Calm Soothing Calming Masque (RM136 / 200ml)

One thing about Kérastase is that they have a hair masque for each different range. This Sensidote Dermo-Calm Soothing Calming Masque is a wash off hair masque treatment to soothe the scalp leaving the scalp feeling soft, fresh and clean. But of course it’s main benefit is to relieve the scalp from irritation. This masque is an intensive treatment that gives scalp immediate effects. Kérastase said that the scalp will feel cool, soothed and fresh whilst the hair will have a boost of silky soft texture that lasts.

Kerastase21
This hair masque comes in a huge tub. The masque itself is in a pale green color. There is no spatula or whatsoever. Basically you just dunk your fingers in and scoop the masque out each use :D. Always remember to dry your hands before doing so. You wouldn’t want to end up with a pool of water in the tub :D. The amount to use is depending on your hair length and preferred amount. As this is for the scalp so I apply the masque directly onto the scalp by massaging in before spreading all over the hair.

Kerastase22
As you know, hair masque is more thicker than conditioner. Conditioner is only to be applied on the hair length without touching the scalp. Soothing Calming Masque is a hair masque in Specifique Sensidote Dermo-Calm range specifically for those that suffer from sensitive scalp, but otherwise it is also suitable for other hair type.

Whenever I apply a big chunk on the scalp, I ended up with oily scalp. After a few trial and error, I found the right way to use this. What I do is I scoop out a small amount and spread onto both palm. Using finger combing method, slowly bit by bit I comb the masque into my scalp. Then I scoop out a generous amount of masque and apply all over the remaining hair length. I find that this way works better for me. After rinsing my hair remain soft and smooth even up till the next day. Personally I would prefer this over conditioner as masque provide better treatment and moisture for my scalp and hair. It smells equally good too.

I use this masque at least 2 times a week. I would usually skip using conditioner whenever I’m using this masque. Like I said, I prefer the effect from masque than conditioner 😀

Kerastase23
I have tried numerous hair care to treat my severe sensitive scalp and flaking issue but none works. I am glad that I turn to my stylist for recommendation and bought Kérastase to try. The brand really does live up to it’s reputation and product claim. At first I didn’t see any difference from the shampoo treatment so I thought it didn’t work for me. I realized that I will need to be patient and give it some time. Afterall my scalp sensitively is quite bad.

Have you tried anything from Kérastase before? I know there has been a few boxes that give out Kérastase in their box. It is definitely a good move to let more and more people try out their products 😀

Kérastase Specifique Dermo-Calm Range is available at all authorised salons nationwide.

Mythic Oil was created based on the inspiration from Eastern tradition. Many of us didn’t know that oil are nutritive and with protective properties. Actually oil has been widely used in many aspects in the beauty revolution for example one of it is in beauty product since ancient history. From ancient Egypt to Chinese, Japanese and Indian civilizations, many women have turned to precious oils for beauty rituals as well as medicinal and aromatherapy purposes. Women nowadays discovered the secret of precious oil and implement it into daily regime. That include me 🙂

L’Oréal Professionnel begins a journey towards the Far East in order to find further inspiration in its beauty traditions, based on the magic of oils. The first stop inthe search for these precious beauty ingredients is the city of Bizantium, historical bridge between the Western and Eastern cultures.

L'Oreal8


The main 2 ingredient in Mythic Oil Haircare range is Argan Oil and Cotton Seed Oil.

Screen Shot 2013-03-23 at 8.21.22 PM

 

 

Argan Oil
Nourishing Argan Oil from the magical argantree. The oil has been traditionally used for centuries by the women of Morocco, and has been a guarded beauty-secret by European women for years. Light compared to other oils, and easily absorbed by hair, skin and nails, it is extremely rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids, which are vital for healthy, glowing hair and skin.

Cotton Seed Oil
Cotton Seed Oil, extracted by cold pressing from the seeds of Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) plant, the cottonseed oil has been known throughout centuries and civilizations, for its nourishing properties. Use of cottonseed oil was already documented in the early Hindu remedies books due to its nourishing powers.

 

 

 

Some of you might remember my Mythic Oil review not so long ago right? Besides the iconic Mythic Oil treatment series, L’Oréal Professionnel also releases a new range of haircare products that are infused with my favorite beauty oils to nourish and enhance the hair.

First up is the Mythic Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Nourishing Conditioner for all hair types.

L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Nourishing Shampoo 

What I like about this shampoo is that it is suitable for all hair types. It contains a blend of Argan Oil that are with nourishing and taming properties and Cotton Seed Oil that are known for its exceptional nourishing properties.

The shampoo is gel-clear, light on hand but creates a reasonable amount of foam for the whole head. Depending on your hair thickness and length, you might only need 2 pumps for medium length. For me I normally pump 3 full pumps onto my wet palm, lather with both hands before applying onto my already damped hair. This shampoo is just great. I’m not saying that for the sake of saying it. I have oily scalp by the noon and dry hair from middle head downwards. After I used this shampoo my scalp doesn’t oil-up that much easily and my lengthy hair is oh-so-soft the whole day. My hair is straight so I don’t feel the “weight down” issue. In fact my hair is flowy and lighter.

Does it clean well and throughly? Yes it does it’s job perfectly. My scalp is cleaner and squeakily clean from all the oil build-up during the day BUT it’s not drying. Some shampoo clean throughly and because of that it dries up the hair making it coarse. With this, I never experience all that. Just clean, soft, flowy and shiny hair.

If you are familiar with Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil scent and liking it, most probably you’d like the scent of the shampoo too. It’s exactly the same! I’m a big fan of Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil so I have no problem with the iconic scent.

L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Nourishing Conditioner

Many years ago I hate using Conditioner after shampooing my hair. My hair was oily and conditioner makes it more oilier and it weight down my hair. It was awful. Nowadays that I’m very much into beauty I’m more hardworking and open minded about hair conditioner.

This Mythic Oil Nourishing Conditioner is the best complement to Mythic Oil Nourishing Shampoo. It contains the same Argan Oil and Cotton Seed Oil benefits and goodness.

L'Oreal12
The conditioner comes in a cream texture and color but feels light on palm too. Unlike other conditioner this one is not greasy and heavy at all. The amount to use is also depending on your hair’s length and thickness. As for me I’d need 2 full pump for the whole head. What I do is to squeeze all excess water from my hair, pump the conditioner onto my palm, spread evenly with both hands and massages onto the hair from center of the head down to the end of the tips. I don’t and never apply conditioner onto my scalp. Afterall I have oily scalp especially the next day when I’m out and about.

Although I uses 3 full pumps of shampoo but I find that 2 full pumps of conditioner is enough for my hair. The conditioner is light enough for my hair condition but is definitely hydrating. After I rinse it off I don’t feel the heavy traces on my hair at all. It feels like as if I didn’t do anything on it. In another word…this conditioner doesn’t put stress on my hair. Which is great.

Just like the shampoo, the scent is absolutely the same with Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil. I like the scent concept as everything just sync together. Some other shampoo and conditioner in the market had different scent from each other which I find quite confusing.

While the shampoo already gives me soft and flowy hair, this conditioner gave me extra nourishing and softness to it without weighing my hair down. A must-have duo!

L'Oreal13
Both Mythic Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner comes with a wide top dense pump. The neck is short so I get a just nice amount of product being dispense out. The longer neckline the more product will be pump out. This duo pump design is just nice.

Daily and Weekly Treatment – Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif and Nourishing Masque.

L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Nourishing Oil Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif

Did you know that in just 1 year after Mythic Oil was launched and introduced to women across all countries worldwide back in 2011, it has quickly become such a huge success in terms of worldwide sold units, press appearances and adored by stylists and celebrities worldwide?

The original version of Mythic Oil which is suitable for all hair types was launched as the very first of it’s blend. It is made with the combination of avocado oil and grapeseed oil therefore all you need is just a few drops of this nourishing oil. As a result hair is transformed to become more shiny and supple. That claim is not just simply saying. I can be a live witness because that is exactly what I experienced after using Nourishing Oil. You can refer back to my review at this link http://www.street-love.net/2013/01/review-jumping-into-the-bandwagon-of-loreal-professional-mythic-oil-nourishing-oil.html

The one I have here is also Nourishing Oil but the different is this is Couture Edition by Dilek Hanif.

L'Oreal16_1
This couture edition comes with a beautiful gold emblem which was tied on the bottle top’s neck. The bottle design is all the same except for the label. Instead of the usual clear label, this edition comes with a black with gold wording label.

The oil dispense out clear but slightly runny. It is not heavy at all and I personally think this oil resembles a bit like dry oil except that it’s not as dry as dry oil :). Why I say so? Because Mythic Oil is not oily and as soon as you smooth it all over the hair…the oil disappears in almost immediately. If you didn’t experience the same as I did, that means you are using too much oil. For my hair I’d need 2 full pump on damp hair or 1 full pump on dry hair condition. Previously when I had wavy hair I’d need 2 full pump on dry hair condition. Now that my hair is back to straight, I wouldn’t want to risk having an oil slick with me the whole day right?

Some user said that they lost the “magic” as soon as they stopped using. Some said that they had even more frizzier hair. Some even said the oil sits on top of the hair. Well, I’m happy to say this again that I never experience all that. On my hair it’s wonderful. The oil disappear after massaging onto my hair and doesn’t leave any greasy trace. Not even when I touch it. My view and thought are still the same after my previous review 🙂

The scent is amazing. I was pretty hooked to the Mythic Oil scent since the first time I used it a few months ago.

L’Oréal Professionnel understands that women have different hair types along with varying needs. Just so all women all over the world with different hair types will be able to enjoy the wonderful results of Mythic Oil, L’Oréal Professionnel introduces three other customized precious blends of Mythic Oil catering to all haircare needs. Here is a simple chart on how to choose your Mythic Oil.

L’Oréal Professionnel Mythic Oil Nourishing Masque

For a weekly pampering treatment I’d choose Mythic Oil Nourishing Masque for it’s unique texture and benefits. Plus I think it’s the best complement to the shampoo, conditioner and nourishing oil from the same range. The uniqueness of this masque is that it allows you to “mix & match” for a tailored care. One way is to mix with a few drops of Mythic Oil for an intensely nourishing ritual. For a repairing and strengthening effect, mix the masque with Mythic Oil Milk for hair to feel instantly restored. It contains the same blend of Argan Oil and Cotton Seed Oil that instantly provide deep nutrition, repair, discipline and glow so that hair feels re-born, day after day.

L'Oreal18
If we have rescue mask for face, of course there are one for the hair! The masque is creamy and thick but yet still feels light on my hair. This masque is meant to be used once a week as a treatment but you can go up to 2 times a week. Totally up to you. So far I have not done the “mix & match” usage because I think that after conditioning…my hair only need a normal masque on.

Hair masque is different for conditioner. This masque requires you to leave it on for at least 3 minutes. Now, you might be thinking what are you suppose to do during that 3 minutes right? Here’s what I practice. Instead of taking bath first I take care of my hair first when it comes to weekly pampering like this. After massaging and leaving the masque on I’ll then continue the bath. By the time I finish body shampooing and rinsing, it was about time to rinse off the masque. Not a bad tips eh?

There’s a different using a masque and NOT using a masque. On long run the hair is well nourished and protected from future harm. I did see an improvement with my hair. Overall my hair is more healthier, glowing and easier to manage.

L'Oreal19
Now, I know all the talking must be complemented with a Before and After picture right? I am so proud and happy to show you my state of hair now after using Mythic Oil haircare range. The result is almost immediately. All these result are obtained from home treatment! There’s no salon visits (I’m lazy that way) and there’s no other haircare used besides Mythic Oil range.

Behold and be surprised!
Note: My hair is never black black. It has always been slightly brown 🙂

L'Oreal20
I’m quite pleased and happy with my hair now. Yes it’s more shinier, it’s glowing, looking healthier, softer and easier to manage. Are you intrigued enough to try this range? I’m going to change my haircare to Mythic Oil range after I finishes the current bottle 🙂
