L’Oreal Paris Expertise Total Repair 5 Hair Care Review

Healthy hair is important to me. After years of struggling with dry damaged unruly hair (which I talk about more in my “How I Repaired My Damaged Hair” post), I am willing to almost spend  or do anything to keep my hair healthy and manageable.

Thankfully though, there are tons of great hair care lines out there that do the trick without breaking the bank, and today I am sharing a full review on one of them!

 

L’Oreal Total Repair 5 Shampoo

Unlike many shampoos I’ve tried, this shampoo is super creamy and doesn’t leave your hair feeling super dry or striped. It lathers up quickly and makes your hair and scalp feel clean.  However, this shampoo does contain sulphates and parabens, something I typically avoid in my hair care. 

Ingredients:

AQUA, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, CETYL ESTERS, QUATERNIUM-33, LACTIC ACID, HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN, PHENOXYETHANOL, ARGININE, BEHENTRIMONIUM METHOSULFATE, TRIDECETH-6, CHLORHEXIDINE DIGLUCONATE, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BENZYL ALCOHOL, AMODIMETHICONE, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, 2-OLEAMIDO-1,3-OCTADECANEDIOL, SERINE, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, CETYL ALCOHOL, GLUTAMIC ACID, HEXYL CINNAMAL, GLYCERYL LINOLEATE, GLYCERYL OLEATE, GLYCERYL LINOLENATE, PERFUME. F.I.L. C181692/1  

 

L’Oreal Total Repair 5 Condition

My favourite part of this haircare line is the conditioner. While the conditioner is for daily use, it is heavier and more moisturizing than most other daily conditioners I’ve used. This conditioner left my hair feeling incredibly soft and silky.

Ingredients:

WATER, CETYL ALCOHOL, AMODIMETHICONE, CI 19140, LACTIC ACID, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, PHENOXYETHANOL, STEARYL ALCOHOL, BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, TRIDECETH- 6, CHLORHEXIDINE DIGLUCONATE, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, 2.0LEAMIDO-1,3-0CTADECANEDIOL, DIPALMITOYLETHYL HYDROXYETHYLMONIUM METHOSULFATE, FRAGRANCE, MYRISITYL ALCOHOL, CETYL ESTERS, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, HEXYL CINNAMAL (F.I.L. C167696/4).  

L’Oreal Total Repair 5 Cica Cream

I am always a bit wary of trying new hair serums. I hate when I have just washed my hair and then made the mistake of applying a serum that makes my hair feel as though I need to wash it all over again. Thankfully though, this serum didn’t do that at all – and I actually found it to be super light weight and conditioning. I don’t use a large amount of leave-in creams and serums in my hair typically because I can’t stand when my hair feels heavy (I usually use only about a dime amount of product), but I actually found I could use more of this leave-in cream and my hair didn’t feel stiff, sticky, or oily at all.

Ingredients:

AQUA, CETYL ALCOHOL, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, CETYL ESTERS, QUATERNIUM-33, LACTIC ACID, HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN, PHENOXYETHANOL, ARGININE, BEHENTRIMONIUM METHOSULFATE, BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, TRIDECETH-6, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BENZYL ALCOHOL, AMODIMETHICONE, ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, 2-OLEAMIDO-1,3-OCTADECANEDIOL, ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE, SERINE, GERANIOL, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, CITRONELLOL, GLUTAMIC ACID, HEXYL CINNAMAL, GLYCERYL LINOLEATE, GLYCERYL OLEATE, GLYCERYL LINOLENATE, PERFUME.
