I used to think I had easy-to-care for hair. I used to think I could just use any shampoo or conditioner and get away with it. But those days are gone. Long gone. As I age, I’ve began to discover more and more what makes my hair beautiful and luscious and soft and what makes it resemble limp straw. The former is my choice, rather than the latter.
My hair type is very unique. Or so I think. Ooooh that was a good rhyme. Turn that into a haiku why don’t ya. Anyways, I have very fine hair. But it’s not thin. I have a lot of it. Usually when you think of fine hair, you think of thin. But that’s not the case here. And, because my hair is so fine, it lacks any sort of volume. But to make matters worse, it’s incredibly dry yet gets oily at the roots very fast. Now, that, is a great combination. But L’Oreal might have come to my rescue with their newest line in their haircare range. This is the Extraordinary Oil collection and it might just be the answer to all of my prayers.
The Extraordinary Oil Shampoo and Conditioner contains a silicone-free, nurturing formula infused with a super thin, lightweight coconut oil that moisturizes hair without weighing it down. You would think the coconut oil would be too heavy for my fine hair but this formula works perfectly. Plus, the coconut oil smoothes the hair fibre and makes my hair so shiny and soft! The conditioner is also a great detangler. But the real treat of this shampoo and conditioner duo is the scent. It has a light vanilla coconut scent. Smells slightly tropical. Smells slightly sweet. The combination is so good and lingers on my hair for days!
