This salon-quality hair-repairing trio will banish bad hair days
The product
It’s time to be honest. We do a lot to our tresses to get them looking ‘perfected’. And outwardly, sure, they look amazing, styled and sprayed to stay put all day long. But if we get up close and personal, they need a) a serious hydration hit and b) major internal help. Sure, we could muster the effort to throw on a hair mask on occasion, but how do we hit the insides of our strands where it counts?
Meet the L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular range. This trio is transforming the mane game. Working to hit hair where it counts at the molecular level. But what does that even mean? Well, this range has been formulated to dive deep into your strands to repair long-standing damage with key ingredients such as peptides and amino acids. You’ll even be able to see major results after only a few uses.
So what products make up this strand-salvaging trio? Firstly the L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Shampoo. This rich lathering shampoo works to help deliver a boost of much needed hair caring ingredients, while still ensuring your tresses are cleansed. Bonus; it’s free-from sulphates.
L’Oréal Professionnel understands that damaged hair means a compromised molecular structure (think lacking peptides), which is why they developed this salon-quality, hair-caring range. The L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Rinse Off Serum is here to replace standard conditioners. Working with two per cent peptide bonder and five amino acids, this serum dives deep and leaves your strands silky soft.
Similarly to the serum, the L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Leave-in Mask also includes the molecular formula of ingredients. And with the long-lasting effects of a leave-in mask, your strands will see major salvation.
So, no matter your texture or if you’ve got treated or natural tresses, if damage is your concern then this trio of professional-grade products is here to help. Let’s see what our Review Crew® thought, shall we?
The panel
BEAUTYcrew sent the L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Shampoo, L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Rinse Off Serum and L’Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Leave-in Mask to a panel of women aged over 25 looking to improve their damaged hair.
The lowdown
Because our Review Crew® members were sent a trio of products to try, we’ve chosen to highlight a key point from each, with the overall consensus being that our members felt that their strands were left feeling a whole heap healthier after using the molecular technology-enhanced range.
The luscious lathering: Let’s be real: there are some shampoos on the market that just don’t quite meet the lathering standards. And if they’re not lathering quite right, then you’re left questioning if you’ve got squeaky clean strands. This shampoo works into a serious lather without using a whole lot of product (win one), then it really gets to work deep-cleansing away any scalp impurities and oil build-up. The Review Crew® members couldn’t get over how clean their hair felt afterward.
The strand-softening effects: Don’t get us wrong, we get that opting for a serum over your traditional conditioner can be a jarring step to take. But if you think your usual conditioner leaves your strands smooth, you need to hear our Review Crew® members' thoughts on this serum. The almost elixir-like serum works to basically instantly boost your hair health, leaving behind silky soft strands. Who wouldn’t want that outcome?
The rich consistency: When applying a leave-in mask, you want the texture to feel good. Because who wants to be left with greasy heavy hair? Not us, and certainly not our Review Crew® members. L’Oréal have managed to find the fine line between a rich, thick mask and one that doesn’t end up leaving behind an oil slick. Our Review Crew® members loved the luxurious feel of applying the mask, especially when they saw the hydrating benefits.
