L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist part 2

L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Masque

I really love this hair mask! 
I'm still really new to hair masks (as I said last time, I'm not very good at looking after my hair!) so I bought this on a whim when Superdrug had a BOGOF offer on the new L'Oreal range. 

This mask claims to reinforce hair and 'provides intensive care to fragile hair with a tendency to fall' and also to aid detangling. This describes my hair type exactly so I knew I had to have it! I'll be honest though, I've only used this mask a couple of times since I bought it, so on average about once every three weeks. It doesn't actually say how often to use it but I suppose once a week would be best in order to see real results but so far I'm loving it.
The texture is so lush! It's like a creamy conditioner, but its enriched with a serum that leaves my hair really glossy and smooth. I would recommend this to anyone.

L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist part 1

L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Reinforcing Treatment.

For a little while, I've felt that I am loosing way more hair daily than I should be. This is probably thanks to years of straightening my locks without heat protect (I know - I'm awful!) and colouring my hair thousands of different shades of red. With that in mind, I was really excited when I saw a BOGOF offer in Superdrug this week on the new L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist. I bought the hair mask (which I'll review in a later post) and the root spray.
I've tried a root spray before (the John Freida Collection Root Awakening Strength Boosting Leave-In Spray - pic on my dailybooth here). and this spray was something that I just loved! It was the first root spray I'd tried so don't have anything to compare it to, so it was an obvious choice to pick up this spray for free.

The 'triple resist' claims to reinforce and nourish hair while making it feel stronger. It also says that the root spray is for fragile hair with a tendancy to fall, which I deemed a perfect way to describe my hair atm.

This spray really intrigued me because it says you can use it on wet or dry hair up to twice a day. The weird thing about this compared to the John Freida version was that it didn't say to comb it through afterwards. I did this anyway, as I thought the product would start to build up on the roots.

How I prefer to use the root spray is as part of my blowdry. I section my hair and spray the roots, massage the formula into my scalp and then comb the excess product through the hair, add heat protector spray (I use this one) and then blow dry as usual.
