Review : L'oreal Extraordinary Oil


Product Description
A precious blend of 6 flower extracts ( Lotus, Tiare, Rose, Flax, Chamomile and Marticaria )  with nourishing properties for sumptuous softness and luxurious shine.

The extraordinary oil is touted to give hair a glowing shine, makes the hair intensely nourished, flows with silky softness, makes it smooth and beautifully perfected. Use it before shampooing ( to restore, nourish and prep hair for washing ), before blow-drying ( to protect hair ) and as a finishing touch.

I received 3 sachets of 3.5ml size that I have been using it on an on-off basis recently. The golden colour with its floral scent has a runny and thin texture that feels greasy at first touch but is hardly so on the hair. I use it mainly as a serum on the hair which coats the hair, making it soft, smooth and silky. However, once the serum is off the hair, I do not see any dramatic difference to my hair health. Its just something that is obvious when its in use. This product is not for you if you are looking for something beneficial in the long term.

And use it sparingly as a bit too much may result in making the hair looks greasy and limpy.

There are many uses for the oil
1) As a daily nourishing care : to nourish and tame frizz by applying on the lengths of hair
2) As a nourishing mask : to smooth the fibre and restore your hair's texture by applying on the hair 10mins before shampoo-ing
3) As a night treatment to recharge hair : apply generously to dry hair and leave overnight for deep nourishment. Use a shower cap to boost the effect
4) Protect your hair from heat : coat your hair before blowing to protect against heat damage
5) Protects your hair from humidity : tame frizz caused by humidity in hot temperatures by applying a few drops on the hair as oil keeps water out of the cuticle to make hair smooth
6) Illuminates your hair : bring shine and suppleness to strands by applying a few drops to hair
7) Helps create the wavy look : apply a few drops to hair, braid it and leave overnight or until hair is dry and untie the braid
8) Curl definition : apply a few drops on the hair, place it in a towel  and squeeze gently and curls will be more defined
9) Protect the hair from the pool : add few drops to the hair before swimming to protect from chlorine and dryness
10) Anti-frizz smoothing - apply a few drops to hair and detangle with a wide-toothed comb

Do note that this is a silicon-based product which is what makes the tresses smooth and silky. The name "extraordinary" just seemed over the top.
The product scored 3.7 from 68 users on Makeupalley.
