L’Oreal Elvive Smooth Hair Styling Cream – Liso Intenso

20140209_041332

Since, I started my blog exactly a month before, that’s why I am writing about this product which I’ve owned for the past 1 year. I love exploring a few products while I visit a super store. I got this L’oreal Elvive’s Liso Intenso  aka Anti Frizz collection from Ami’s. I was searching for a hair serum but I got this instead which is more of a hair styling cream which I could use just before straightening my hair.

For the first time I tried this product during peak summer i.e. July while I was straightening my hair and it gave my hair a flawless look from top to tips thereby curing my split ends. The reason being, during summer, everyone’s hair become frizzy and straightening alone isn’t reliable for a perfect finish, even if you condition your hair. Hence, I tried this product with just a dollop on my left partition and then again a dollop on my right partition thoroughly. Believe me, just 2 dollops were sufficient as you need to properly massage your hair to avoiding sticky strands and balancing hair texture.

Then comes the straightening part. Half of my hair is frizzy, from the middle all the way down to the tips.  Usually with any serum, I need to get the same hair chunk to be stroked twice with a hair straightener but with this cream I didn’t even require straightening the hair chunk twice.  It had a perfect smooth texture along with a glossy look just in one stroke.  It gave my hair a salon kind of look at home.

I tried the locally available serum of the same range of LO’real which was less effective, relatively expensive which didn’t even give a shiny look to my hair. On the other hand, this is the imported L’Oreal smooth styling cream which had some other Thai or Malay kind of language printed on the label and the price was surprisingly way too reasonable i.e. Rs. 350

I recommended this product to a few friends and I even tried stocking it as I have a habit of stocking up good quality beauty and personal care products. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my hands on it here in Karachi but one of my friends got it in Lahore and is enjoying it fully. I strongly recommend it to my readers as it’s a great buy and you wouldn’t be disappointed if you want your hair to be sleek and shiny. This was a perfect treat to my hair.
