Review of L'Oreal Total Repair Extreme Emergency Recovery Mask

I'm not sure when this happened, but L'Oreal released an expansion of the Total Repair line. The new line is called Total Repair Extreme. It includes shampoo, conditioner, a split-end mender, and a recovery hair mask. Today, I'm going to be doing a review of the Total Repair Extreme Emergency Recovery Mask. Normally, I like to use a product for awhile before forming an opinion of it, but I couldn't wait with this product. After the first use, it became a holy grail product.

Here is the basics:

My Thoughts:

After I toned my hair during the blonde transformation , my hair felt like dry, stiff, and broken. As I was at Target just walking up and down aisles, I stumbled upon the Emergency Recovery Mask. At first the shiny gold packaging caught my eye. I instantly picked it up and started reading the bottle. Once I read that it was for extremely damaged and over-worked hair, I had no doubt in my mind that it needed to be mine.

I do not tend to buy items spur of the moment. I like to look up reviews and ratings before anything so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time. This was a spur of the moment purchase. I realized that with all of the abuse my hair had just taken from being bleached and toned; I had nothing to lose. 

The consistency of this product is a thick creamy substance. It applies to the ends of my dry broken ends wonderfully. I left it on for 5 minutes being that my hair was in a sad state. When I rinsed it out, HOLY MOLEY!!!!! My hair felt like I had never bleached it. It felt healthy, moisturized, and alive again.

I do have one warning with this product. Be careful on the amount you use. If you use too much product, your hair will feel greasy when it dries. I feel like that should be expected with a lot of product use because this is an intense rebuilding hair mask.

So if you have extremely dry or damaged hair, I 100% recommend this product. If you are just looking for a simple moisturizing hair mask, I'd try the Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm ( which is made by L'Oreal as well). Next on my list to try is the split end mender.

If you have tried this product, please let me know what you think. Did you love it? Hate it?

Love
