L'oreal EverSleek Precious Oil Treatment Review

After running out of all of my numerous hair serums and oils, I asked the hubby to pop out to the local Priceline and pick me one up, with my only instruction being "I like oils more than serums... Maybe something by L'oreal?". He came back with a new L'oreal hair oil, the EverSleek Precious Oil Treatment with Argan Oil from Morocco. Well, if anyone hasn't already heard the benefits of argan oil for the hair, it is a very good hydrator and repairer for dry, damaged hair, all the while making it sleek, shiny and smooth.

Already being impressed with a number of the new products that L'oreal has been releasing as of late, this one had high hopes for me. The packaging itself is more of their high-street range, being that it's a plastic-y bottle with a plastic-y pump. It would fair well for travelling though, as it won't shatter, but I've always had trouble with products leeking and am scared that might be the case with this. I'm not too sure of the cost, as the boyfriend wouldn't let me pay him back for it, but it's a nice 115mL bottle, so it should last me a couple of months. Unless I love it, then maybe a bit less, as what happened with my previous L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Hair Oils. Yes, more than one.

The oil itself is very yellow, not too much of a scent to it, and maybe slightly thicker than regular oils, but really no where as thick as a serum. And the verdict after using this for about two or three weeks now? I love it. It's actually one of the best oils I've ever tried to be honest, and that beats out my high-end Bumble and Bumble Hair dresser oil. You only need about two pumps to cover your hair (as opposed to the regular 4-6 pumps I use for other oils) and it absorbs it so well. Though it should be noted that it doesn't absorb quite as well on dry hair, as it is meant for damp/wet hair. Considering that I don't use conditioner anymore, just after shower care, this really holds up very well and makes my hair so soft too. 

Really quite pleased with this product, even a little shocked when I first tried it at how well it worked, even on my damaged, heavily dyed hair. My hair feels the healthiest it's been for a long while now. 

Cleanse your roots

I used to be quite a fan of Toni and Guy purely for their amazing purple shampoo, but they've apparently discontinued that line of toning products, as I found when I needing to pick up some supplies when I went blonde again. But they had a very good deal going on when I went to Priceline, so I thought what the hey, might as well grab something. So I picked up a heat protectant, a hair mask and this glorious Cleanse Dry Shampoo. 

Admittedly, I haven't tried a whole range of dry shampoos, the ever-so-popular one by Batiste, and the only other one was one by Tresemme. But neither of them really wowed me. The Batiste one was average to say the least, but it was light, much unlike the Tresemme one which felt like, although it made my hair less greasy, it felt... Sluggish. I adore the packaging on this dry shampoo, so clean, as it should remind you of fresh hair. This spray does as it says (and clearly I'm so impressed that I needed to dedicate an entire blog post to it). The spray is amazing, I absolutely love the sound; it feels like it's actually doing something, and because the spray is so fine, the product spreads really evenly and easily on your hair. It really refreshens your hair without that crunchy feeling I would expect from most dry shampoos but that could be my thinking of any spray hair products that isn't a conditioner. Even better, it gives volume to your roots, even with my heavy hair.

Action shot.

I don't know why I was so pleasantly surprised by this dry shampoo, remembering that I haven't actually tried many. But it works wonderfully, is not too expensive at all, easy to find and a nice 250ml size - all pluses in my book. I'm tempted to try other brands of dry shampoo still, but I can see myself coming back to this one.
