Loreal Anti-Frizz Hair Mask review

Loreal has somehow been a constant in my life, as my mother loves to use their shampoo and conditioner. As I always have frizzy hair, I felt that conditioner was not enough, and branched out to hair masks and treatments. I tried the Loreal Anti-Frizz Hair Mask when I was 14, and years later, it still remains one of my favourite hair masks of all time. Despite my willingness to try new and different hair masks in the market, I've come to the realization that I love this the most.

Hair masks are more intense and moisturizing than conditioners and hair treatments, and also need a longer time to soak into the hair. The timing differs, with some needing only 1 minute, and others up to 30 minutes. Usually I will leave the Loreal hair mask on for about 5 minutes, but if I have time I will leave it on for longer so that my hair can soak up the goodness.

I once asked a hair expert about why we couldn't just leave it on for a long time (surely the longer the time spent, the more effective it becomes right?) but she explained that after 30 minutes or so, the effectiveness will drastically drop. Therefore, there is no point in leaving it on after that.

It is smooth and easy to apply on my hair, even when it is a tangled mess. I leave it on for a few minutes, and when I wash it off, my hair already feels very smooth in the shower. I don't use a conditioner after that, because I find that it is already very smooth and silky, and therefore does not need more conditioning. Don't forget to rinse very thoroughly, because I find that it's difficult to rinse it off without feeling that there's still some residue. The floor may also feel smooth and slippery, so be sure to wash that away. I find that I don't really have to use too much, which is a good thing, unlike some other hair masks where I scoop out a lot of product to work it into my hair.

Even though I only apply this on my hair ends, I find that my scalp becomes oily far more quickly than normal. I usually wash my hair every other day (washing it everyday dries it out), and on the second day I will feel that my scalp is slightly more oily than usual.I suppose that this is a drawback, but I suppose I can live with it. I prefer Loreal over other brands because it really helps in combating the frizziness my hair. I have dry ends, which is of course made worse by constant blow-drying, dyeing, and chemicals when I swim.

I don't really use the other products from the line, except the hair treatment on occasions. 

I also did a review on the Loreal Total Repair Hair Mask, you can read it here.
