Revive Your Lifeless, Brittle Hair with L’Oréal Paris Elvive
In my years of blogging as a beauty enthusiast, there’s one thing I can’t stress enough –our hair is our crowning glory. It is our hair that frames our face after all. Truth be told, whenever I get bored with my “look” or feel like I need a “change” all I have to do is switch up my hairstyle, and everything in the world is right again. When I feel down and need extra pampering, I’d visit the salon, have my hair colored, and I am good to go!
That is why throughout the years my hair has undergone various chemical treatments such as coloring, bleaching, perming and the likes. In addition to that, my hair is continuously subjected to various heat styling methods regularly. I never really paid much attention to it as I was more concerned with maintaining my appearance.
Obviously, I failed to notice that it is through these repetitive methods that I am damaging my hair further. With all honesty, I barely noticed how unhealthy my hair has been even after the winter season. We know that winter can be harsh not just to the skin but most especially to our hair, particularly to damaged hair like mine. But that didn’t really stop me from going back to my old ways come summer time. I’m quite the explorer and tend to try bold stuff without hesitation.
When I underwent IVF therapy, got pregnant, and up until now that I am breastfeeding, I took a rest from all the hair treatments to keep my baby safe. While I know it is quite far-fetched, I was hoping that with my hiatus, the damage to my hair would somewhat get reversed. Sadly, the cold weather (and most especially my hormones!) made my hair even more lifeless and prone to breakage.
Well, no one wants dull, dry, and lifeless hair, so it’s about time I do something. Thankfully, L’Oreal® came to my rescue! If you are wondering how I brought my over-processed, damaged hair back to life, I took L’Oréal Paris Elvive hair test to determine which products I needed to go from damaged to healthy hair. My diagnostic test revealed that I am at level 3 and will need the Protein Recharge as well as the Extraordinary Oil Treatment. What made things much easier is that these products are conveniently available at our local CVS store.

First and foremost of all, let me be crystal clear –the L’Oreal Elvive Protein Recharge is ahh-mazing! If I didn’t experience it myself, I wouldn’t believe it’s possible. This leave-in treatment boosts the strength and flexibility of the hair and in just 1 use my hair immediately felt stronger and healthier. What used to be stretchy strands prone to breaking looks and feels so much better. What I totally love is that it also reduces the risk of hair breakage by 97%. Now, I can use any styling tool and still be protected up to 450-degrees of heat.
As far as the L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Treatment, I am impressed that this lightweight oil can deliver 10x nourishment in just one drop. After applying, my hair felt silky smooth, looked shinier, and it made my hair smell amazing too! Alas, I finally got to bid my split ends goodbye too. One drop goes so far that I don’t have to saturate my hair over.
While the L’Oreal Elvive Damage Erasing Balm wasn’t included in my test result, I’ve decided to add it to my arsenal too, and I am so glad I did! This rinse-out hair mask helped revived my brittle hair. After one quick wash with this balm, my hair feels hydrated and less dry. Believe it or not, all I did was just leave it on my hair for 3 minutes and rinse!
Thanks to L’Oréal Paris Elvive products, my hair is back to its healthy and bouncy state (even with the hormonal issues!). And the best thing about these? They are very affordable! I don’t have to break the bank just to restore my hair which I truly appreciate.
Ready to revive your hair too? I highly encourage checking out CVS and L’Oreal’s in-store peel and reveal event between 3/8 to 3/11. Find out which one of the top 700 participating stores are near you here.

March 9, 2018My hair is so damaged from years of heat, so I am always willing to try a good hair care system. I have used Loreal in the past, but haven’t tried any of their newer products. I can’t wait to visit my local CVS for this. Thanks!

Ching
March 10, 2018I was seriously just thinking this morning that I may need to cut my hair. Whenever it gets too long, it gets really doll-hair like dry! This dry, Vegas weather doesn’t help much either. Is the peel and reveal event a discount off these products? I’m going to give this a try! !
Carol Cassara
March 10, 2018I feel like my hair needs a little more love and care. I think this is great. I’d love to know what products to use to take better care of my hair!

March 10, 2018My poor hair could use a bit of a boost. This weather the past two months has really done a number on it!
Joanna
March 10, 2018I don’t think I have ever used any of the L’Oreal hair care ranges. I am impressed as well reading about the hair oil that nourishes but doesn’t leave the hair greasy or heavy, as most of the others do.
The London Mum
March 10, 2018Oh wow, I need to do this hair test. My hair really confuses me and I never really understand what it needs
Lyosha
March 10, 2018I love hair oils as well! I haven’t been using L’Oreal products for ages, need to check them again soon

March 10, 2018hmmm i havent tried loreal hair care before. i tend to stick with some more natural products for my hair. i also try to not put heat on it. i have thin hair already so i want to take care of it. i might try to conditioner

Lisa Marie Heath
March 10, 2018I’ve been using the L’Oreal … ack I honestly can’t think of the name but it’s in the blue bottles – and I’ve been loving it! I ran out 2 weeks ago, so I might have to grab this set next to try!
Yuli armstrong
March 10, 2018What a great write up! I love the bathrobe pictures! I haven’t done anything at all to my hair in over 2 years! Same, being pregnant and breastfeeding. But she’s all good and weaned now probably time to do something.
LAVANDA Michelle
March 10, 2018Whenever I go to CVS or Walgreens, I always look if they have some killer sales in hygienic products! Great work.

March 10, 2018One thing I am bad at maintaining is my hair so I often go to my hairdresser to fix it but it’s been breaking lately so I need to reassess
Claire
March 10, 2018Wow, great product!! I’m not sure we have this in the UK? Do you know? My hair could do with it!
Candice Nikeia
March 10, 2018They have been coming out with so many amazing new products lately! I have to try this one asap! I love the idea of a protein revival for my hair!
Amber Stanfield
March 11, 2018You are 100% right that hormonal changes can wreak havoc on our hair! I breastfed my daughter and I always say that she sucked all the good things right out of me (but it went to her, so thats ok! LOL). Loreal makes such high quality products, and your hair looks so silky and smooth!
Nicolette LAFONSECA
March 13, 2018I always love how my hair smells.after a leave in treatment
Sarah Bailey
March 13, 2018I am most definitely in need of trying this – my poor hair has been badly neglected over the years. I’m going to have to keep an eye out for it.
tiffany yong
March 14, 2018I’ve tried the oil before too and it works pretty well. I haven’t tried the erasing balm nor the recharge though, so will definitely go try it out if it’s available in Singapore!
Mommy Rockin' In Style
March 15, 2018This is very timely since I am looking for new products to try. Recently, I noticed that my hair needs some TLC. Will definitely check these out. Thanks for sharing dear.

January 31, 2019I have grey hair and its dry and dull. This shampoo and conditioner at least softens my hair. Still looking for a thermal spray to use when blow drying.
