    L’Oréal Paris Elseve Dream Long Curls

    Since I’ve adopted my current hair routine I haven’t found much use for leave-in conditioners. They are often lightweight and do not provide the hold I require for my curls.

    This purchase was purely based on curiosity and I can safely say that this isn’t for me.

    I can wash and condition my hair but if I skip the mousse and gel and use this leave-in instead my hair is frizzy by the second day. I don’t mind my frizz, but I prefer my curls stick around for a week without falling flat the next day.

    Also, the scent is not at all my favorite, it smells like a man’s cologne and I really don’t enjoy the fact that the smell lingers for days.

    I usually leave my hair in a wash and go for a week and then rewash my hair but when I use this I quickly put my hair in a puff or bun. I don’t like how my hair smells or feels when using this product and quite frankly I am regretting this purchase.

    No reason a second day Wash and Go should look like this.

    I even attempted to use it in my daughter’s hair because when products don’t work as well in my hair they work beautifully in hers. She has a coarser and kinkier texture than I do but even in her hair it was not very good and I won’t use it again in her hair. The very next day after using it, her hair was very dry and not as pliant as it usually is.

    I will just accept that creams and Wash and Go do not mix especially if I am interested in my Wash and Go lasting for the whole week.

    New Expert Nutri-frizz by Franck Provost

    That high-quality scent that Professional hair care products have, what is that?

    It has been well over six years since I’ve been to a hair salon but as soon as I used these products I was reminded of sitting in that chair while someone else ran their hands through my hair, massaging my scalp and taking good care of my tresses.

    That’s not to say that washing my hair on my own can replace going to a hair stylist and I do plan on visiting a salon once I find a good curl specialist but that’s not so easy to find where I live. I want a dry cut since I never wear my hair straight and live for wash and go. I absolutely refuse to have my hair straightened and then cut because I don’t want my hair straightened. I really don’t care how professional and good a stylist is, if they can’t cut curly hair in its natural state they can’t be that good, can they?

    Expert Nutri-Frizz Shampoo available at Amazon.fr

    I digress, the Expert Nutri-Frizz shampoo does contain Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate which I know a lot of people lose their minds over but I don’t mind it and tend to look for shampoos that do contain it.

    On Inci Beauty, this shampoo has a very poor rating of 0/20 which I think is pretty harsh but Inci isn’t known for giving good grades to good products. I find the “natural” products they give really good grades to are usually the ones that end up messing up my hair or do absolutely nothing at all.

    For me personally the shampoo works really well, it lathers and cleanses the hair without stripping it while leaving my strands moisturized.

    Expert Nutri-Frizz Hair Mask available at Amazon.fr

    The Expert Nutri-Frizz mask was surprising, I was not expecting to like it that much, just like the shampoo the mask has that salon-quality scent, it is not very thick nor is it light, I’d say it’s of medium consistency which my hair seems to like. It provided enough slip that I was able to detangle my hair with ease, once I washed it out my hair was not left feeling parched at all, it was still highly moisturized and ready to be set with my mousse and gel. The mask scored a little better on Inci but only a teeny tiny bit, it got a 5.1/20.

    Here’s a little look at how my hair came out with the Expert Nutri-Frizz routine :

    First day curls
    Day 3 curls

    For the shampoo, I will give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars

    Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

    The mask will receive 5 out of 5 stars

    Rating: 5 out of 5.

    Together this hair routine gets 9.5 stars out of 10
