A comment: My first oil leave-in. The very remedy that allowed me to overcome fragility and split ends. I applied it to both wet hair and dry hair immediately after styling (to smooth out frizz), and just in the morning, before combing, to protect the ends.

Advantages:
+ protects ends from damage;
+ reduces fragility and cross-section;
+ softens hair;
+ gives shine;
+ makes combing easier;
+ very economical consumption (2 jars in 4 years);
+ pleasant smell;

“In a good life, curls curl, in a bad life they split” - Folk Wisdom

Remind me how many types of beauty maniacs there are? Varnish, lipstick, blush... What about the manic search for products to care for the “ends” of hair... In pursuit of oils and serums, I was once again convinced that “expensive doesn’t mean good”, but choose what will be real "Fine" for hair, you can only analyze the composition of the products, weighing all the pros and cons. Let's begin.

Product name: Elseve Extraordinary Revitalizing Oil from L’oreal Paris;
Purpose: For damaged hair;
Functions: Restores split ends, intensively nourishes without weighing down;
Volume: 100 ml;
Country of origin: Germany.

Many of you, I think, have already tried this oil; it was prescribed for all types of hair, and had both its admirers and haters. Perhaps, for organic lovers, it is necessary to clarify from the first lines that the word “oil” hides a cocktail of silicones, but oils are present in the composition "6 rare", as the manufacturer says.

Package: The oil is in a translucent orange plastic bottle with a volume of 100 ml. The plastic is hard, does not bend, so you can count on its strength (during flights), it has a dispenser lid that closes “until it clicks”, but there is no additional protective cap, it’s worth considering.

Color, texture: The oil is colorless, suitable for those with ashen hair, quite liquid, not sticky, absorbed in 1 minute on the skin, 3 minutes on dry hair, does not require additional rinsing products.

Smell: candy-floral, very pleasant and thick, but disappears within half an hour, leaving a slight hint of sweetness, very close to the hair.

Compound: This is the most interesting thing, I want to sort it out with you and find “the ones.” » rare flower oils:

Сyclopentasiloxane - volatile silicone;
Dimethiconol - silicone, which adds shine to hair and softens it;
Chamomilla recutita extract / matricaria flower extract — chamomile flower extract;
Cocos nucifera oil / coconut oil - Coconut oil;
Helianthus annuus seed oil / sunflower seed oil - sunflower oil;
Nelumbium speciosum extract / nelumbium speciosum flower extract — lotus flower extract;
Benzyl alcohol - benzyl alcohol, preservative;
Cinnamal — an aromatic hydrocarbon of organic origin, used in the cosmetics industry to impart a jasmine aroma to products;
Linalool - an organic substance that is part of essential oils, giving a floral scent to the product;
Linum usitatissimum flower extract - linseed oil;
Сaprylic/capric triglyceride - triglyceride obtained from coconut oil, has a nutritional and protective function;
Gardenia tahitensis flower extract - gardenia flower extract;
Rosa canina flower extract — rosehip flower extract;
Bisabolol - a plant element with anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, extracted from chamomile and/or yarrow;
Glycine soja oil / soybean oil - soybean oil;
Parfum/fragrance - fragrance.

It turns out that the rare flowers that the manufacturer is talking about are: Sunflower, Chamomile, Lotus, Flax flowers, Gardenia, Rosehip flowers. If we lived, for example, in Arab countries, then sunflower would indeed be worth its weight in gold, but... marketers have their own vision. Let's talk about the effect.

Effect: The manufacturer suggests applying the oil in three ways: as a mask, before washing your hair, as a leave-in conditioner on wet hair, and on dry hair. I like how the oil works on wet and dry hair, I choose one of the options, depending on the amount of time I have for styling. For damp hair, two pump pumps are enough for me, and one for dry hair. The oil is quickly absorbed, but you can overdo it, and, in my opinion, it is not necessary to wash your hands after using it
The manufacturer did not deceive, the hair becomes shiny, smooth and pleasant to the touch, sections become less noticeable, and the hair, in general, looks well-groomed.

In the “BEFORE” photo, I did not use any additional products to restore my hair, and you can see it, the ends are dry and split.

In the “After” photo, I used the oil as a leave-in conditioner on damp hair and dried it naturally, in my opinion the difference is obvious.

I was more than satisfied with the oil, and I don’t delude myself with hopes that thanks to it, split ends will be restored and my hair will always be silky and nourished. Although, I'm glad I found another good one visual hair care assistant. When I finish it, I'll buy more.

Price: 280 rub;
Duration of use: 2.5 weeks;
Rating: 5.

When certain problems arise with their hair, most girls begin to make homemade intensive masks, among which oil compositions occupy the first place. The fact is that the benefits of vegetable oils have been proven repeatedly: curls come to life, become more manageable and stronger, and they cost mere pennies. But despite all the advantages, it is not very convenient to use: you often have to spend a lot of time both on exposure and removing residues. To avoid this, experts recommend resorting to an alternative option - ready-made cosmetics that do not require rinsing. For example, you can use L'Oreal cocktails.

The best hair oils from L'Oreal

In order not to go to aesthetic centers and not spend a lot of money, the company has developed a series of unique products - complexes that make it easy to care for and heal your strands yourself at home. When preparing the compositions, experts took into account not only the most common problems affecting curls, but also their type in relation to sebum secretion.

1. L̛oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil.

Mythic Oil is the fruit of the labor of cosmetologists and pharmacists. It is a combination of avocado and grape seed oils, which, being rich in fatty acids, perfectly nourish, moisturize, add radiance, softness and silkiness without weighing down. Using Mythic Oil from L'Oreal on a regular basis, many girls note deep regeneration: by renewing matter, damaged rods restore their structure and prevent further porosity and thinning. It can be used by all women without exception, and with different types of curls.

2. L̛Oreal Mythic Rich Oil.

Specially designed for dry, coarse, unruly hair. Due to the inclusion of oils from argan fruits and rice flowers, it has deep nourishing, softening and disciplinary effects. What is meant by the last property? The strands stop getting tangled, frizzy, electrolyzed, become elastic, manageable and fit into the hairstyle without any problems.

3. L̛Oreal Mythic Color Glow Oil.

From the name it becomes intuitively clear that this product is aimed at protecting and restoring colored hair. And indeed, “working” on the basis of one of the strongest natural antioxidants and a scatterer of UV rays - cranberry oil, it perfectly cares for curls, protects them from the negative influences of the external environment, thereby prolonging the durability of the color and at the same time giving the hair even more shine and vitality . Enveloping each hair with an invisible film, it not only protects them from harmful factors, but also promotes thickening and additional volume.

4. L̛Oreal Elseve Extraordinary 6 oils Perfecting.

Ideal for all types and solving various problems. The developers really did their best and prepared not just a care product, but a real healing “cocktail”. Using all the benefits of oils from 6 unique flowers (tiare, rose, nivaria, flax, lotus and chamomile) in one composition, it becomes possible in just 1-2 applications:

1. improve regeneration, reduce fragility and split ends;
2. saturate the scalp tissues and curls themselves with nutrients;
3. restore water balance;
4. strengthen the active bulbs and awaken the “dormant” ones;
5. protect strands from adverse weather conditions such as frost, sun, wind;
6. increase the elasticity of the rods, making them more elastic, smooth, and obedient;
7. give your hair an incredible shine, making it seem as if you have recently visited a beauty salon.

5. L̛Oreal Elseve 6 oils Extraordinary + UV filter.

Experts have supplemented the same non-greasy formula with UV filters to obtain the best innovative care for colored and highlighted hair. The strands retain their rich color longer, do not fade, do not fade under the rays of the sun, and the pigment is not washed out of them even with daily hair washing. If your hair has been severely damaged by the procedure to change the tone, then here too the product will come to the rescue and will eliminate all damage in a short time.

6. L̛Oreal Elseve Extraordinary with 6 oils Restoring.

Specially designed for damaged, weakened strands whose ends are prone to split ends. Like the two previous products from the Elseve series, it also consists of 6 bioactive components, but not exactly the same. The composition contains 3 oils that are contained in the options described above (chamomile, flax, lotus), and 3 “new” ones (gardenia, rose hips, sunflower). The combination of the listed ingredients quickly (in 2 or even less weeks) restores damaged areas in the hair structure and makes it soft and pleasant to the touch. After regular use, almost all the girls noted the prevention of split ends, the strength and elasticity of the rods along the entire length.

7. L'oreal Professionnel Serie Nature Oilixir.

Worth buying not only for ease of use, but also for efficiency. Compared to all previous “brothers”, this one includes only one, but potent substance – argan oil extract. It is this ingredient that determines all the benefits of Serie Nature Oilixir: the product perfectly stimulates local circulation, nourishes, moisturizes, exhibits good regenerating properties, and makes combing easier. It will be a real find for dry and weak curls.

All of them are produced in stylish bottles with a dispenser, when you take them it immediately becomes clear that you are not in the hands of a mass market product. The bottle, slightly darkened with a yellow-honey color, makes the transparent contents look like liquid gold. And the variety in volume (50, 100, 125, 150 ml) and price helps you choose the most optimal option.

Instructions for use

Any L'Oreal brand oil comes with instructions for use. Typically the instructions read:

1. Squeeze the contents of the bottle into your palm depending on the length and thickness of your hair (single pressure on the dispenser is enough for a short haircut; 3-4 presses for medium and long curls);
2. Apply to towel-dried strands, avoiding the root zone;
3. let the composition absorb for 2-3 minutes;
4. use thermal drying or natural means.

Can also be used in other ways:

1. squeezing a few large drops onto your hand and applying them 15-20 minutes before washing your hair;
2. distributing over dry strands before going outside, where the weather is frosty or hot, to protect against adverse thermal effects; for the same purpose it is allowed to use an iron or curling iron before styling;
3. adding to any hair mask to achieve deeper nutrition and amazing shine;
4. by including it in the working mixture when painting to reduce the degree of negative chemical components.

Reviews on the use of leave-in oils

“I’ve been using Loreal Mythic Oil for a year now and I don’t know of any problems regarding either their health or appearance. At the same time, I would like to note not only the benefits of the product, but also the design: the original color of the bottle, like a Christmas one, a convenient and interesting shape that prevents the bottle from slipping out of your hands. In general, the specialists did their best, and there is no shame in giving a gift to someone close.”

“For a long time I couldn’t do anything to restore the strands after bleaching and then dyeing them. Even the long-awaited color I received was not pleasing. And this is understandable: the curls, devoid of shine and life, looked like a washcloth. In order to somehow return to its former appearance, the hairdresser-colorist advised making masks. But when I started using them, I realized how inconvenient it is in terms of application, rinsing and time-consuming. However, I found a solution here: I began to use Extraordinary oil for colored hair from L'Oreal Elseve series. Girls, don’t let my review confuse you, but I’m so impressed with the result that I simply encourage all beauties to try it.”

“For my face and body, I choose cosmetics exclusively from L'Oreal. And just recently I became hooked on her hair products. My first purchase from this line was the professional oil Nature Oilixir. I liked it so much that now I buy it systematically and use it regularly! The strands really come to life with him.”

“I never thought that oils could be suitable for oily hair. But with L'Oreal Mystic Oil it's really possible! The product does not leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy at all. On the contrary, after its use they become “airy” and flowing. You just want to touch and stroke them all the time.”

“First, I wanted to write a neutral review about the experience of using L'Oreal Extraordinary Hair Oil, because at first it seemed that it had no particular effect. However, after using the product for just over a week, I have radically changed my mind: the result is not only there, it’s impressive! Now I see how much stronger, more elastic, more manageable, and softer my strands have become. Their shine speaks of a healthy state from root to tip.”
