Matrix Biolage Daily Leave-In Tonic

From the manufacturer: Instantly nourishes hair due to a strengthening botanical complex.  The main ingredients of the product are based on extracts, oils of sweet almonds, brown seaweed, hop and other strengthening components.  Tonic contains a derivative of the seeds of the sunflower plant, an antioxidant, and protects hair from UV and harmful influences of the environment. It returns extra shine and health to your dull hair.

My opinion: Lotion wasn’t any help for me.  The first 2 weeks I had little results, and the longer I used it the results became no better.  The combing process was very difficult and hair felt and looked sticky.  I didn’t see or feel any results from this tonic at all, but I absolutely love the aroma my hair has after using it.

Kerastase Elixir Ultime - Multifunctional Care for All Hair Types

Kerastase Elixir Ultime - Multifunctional care for all hair types: cleanses the scalp and hair over its entire length, protects against drying out, intensely nourishes and gives the perfect shine.

My opinion:  During the first week, I guess my hair was so dry that it soaked in the oil in only seconds.  I was using this product on vacation, and it did protect my hair from dehydration.  The smell is a little bit too strong for me, but after a day or so I guess I became used to it, it became less sharp and more pleasant.  I didn’t notice any miracles happening with my hair, but I found no minuses either.  So I guess I can say: “its Okay shampoo and milk”

L’Oreal Professional Expert Serie Masque Lumino Contrast

From the manufacturer: Mask Lumino Contrast is designed specifically for highlighted hair, because it requires different care than just colored hair. Masque will protect the color on your hair, assuring that the color will stay and not quickly wash off.   Your highlighted hair will be full of life, and every hair will be protected and more resistant to negative environmental factors.  In addition, this mask has the ability to restore the lipid balance of your highlighted hair.  Gradually you will notice how your hair becomes radiant, smooth and silky.  Due to a unique technology, Nutriceride, which was used in the development of this product, the components of the mask only work with highlighted, weakened hair, making combing and styling much easier.

My opinion:  I would not use this Masque on a daily basis for the main care of my hair; it doesn’t give my hair enough nourishment.  Although, if I know I will be exposed to the sun and ocean, it would be a must have product. The last time I went to Florida I used it several times for color support and it worked.

Kerastase Nutri-Thermique Masque

From the manufacturer: Masque delivers the nutrients directly into the hair follicle, and improves the hair structure, enveloping and protecting it from the negative influences of the environment. Masque Nutri-Thermique is designed specifically for damaged, very dry hair, which was exposed to smoothing and straightening by a styling iron.  With the help of this masque, your hair will receive the necessary nourishment it requires.

My opinion: This new masque is designed to restore hair that was subjected to thermal aggression.  Well, mine did. After using almost three bottles of the product, my hair got back its life and started to look fabulous again.  With three months of intense mask treatments, my hair now becomes very dirty quick.  I’m thinking it’s time to take a break from the use of this product.

Kerastase Nutritive Oleo-Relax Masque

From the manufacturer: This masque provides gentle care and moisturizing for dry and unmanageable hair. Kerastase is based on natural vegetable oils that deeply nourish and moisturize hair and scalp. Wheat germ oil softens the hair, Hyaluronic acid and Retinol give your hair gentle moisturizing, and antioxidants increase your hair’s protection function.  Another ingredient of the mask is ceramids, which smooth the hair structure from root to tip. With the help of the Oleo-Relax Masque, dry hair and unmanageable hair become smooth, silky and protected from humidity causing excessive fuzziness and fluffiness.

From me:  Even though this mask was recommended to fit my type of hair, I was not really impressed with it.  I can’t say that it prevented my hair from becoming frizzy, but my hair definitely was easier to comb and style.  Besides that, I didn’t really notice anything incredible, even though I used it for over 4 months (while it lasted)
