Hey, Hair. Let's have a chat. What is the deal with you? You are frizzy. You are dry. The hubs gives me super weirded out looks because he catches me inspecting your split ends.
If he only knew that I was trying to converse with my hair.
I don't know what exactly happened to you, poor mop of mine. It could have been this last pregnancy (I spent many pregnant months horrified by an increase in hair fall), post partum hormones, or my stylist dying you a dark, dark, brown when it was supposed to be a sandy blond. Add in the two highlight appointments to get you back to a shade I could grow out? Le sigh. You are channeling Albert Einstein's 'do over here, Hair. I'll try to take better care of you of you...I promise.
So what does any modern day woman do when trying to fix a hair crisis? Hit up Pinterest and YouTube, of course!
Many beauty gurus and bloggers gush about the L'oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm. It looks like so....
This deep conditioning mask claims to repair up to one year of damage by fighting split ends and weak, rough, dull, dehydrated hair. I fully realize that no product will repair split ends, but the rest of the description was right up my sad little hair alley.
It is so thick that it feels like a body butter instead of a deep conditioner. The smell is very sweet and strong but leaves behind a soft, pleasant scent. And instead of applying for the directed 3-5 minutes, I slather it on for 30 minutes once a week to really give it a chance to sink in.
Overall, this is a yes! Especially at only $5.99. Serious deal, folks. After only a few weeks, my hair shines from root to tip (yes, even the gross, dry tips!) and feels super soft. My ends are less crunchy and the mop isn't as poofy after it air-dries. This little baby is my favorite deep conditioner lately and will be staying in the hair care rotation!
Do you have any miracle hair repair secrets or holy grail products?
