From recommendations and reviews, this haircare system has created high expectations.

Reading the label of each product, I learned that out of the three, it’s only the Care Shampoo that gives me the usual apply and rinse instruction. The Daily Rinse-Out Treatment should be used after shampooing and before applying a conditioner. And the Intensive Shine Mask ought to be left alone for two (2) minutes before rinsing it out. So, does this mean that I really have to use all three?

One suggestion was I can choose to either use the treatment or the mask, not necessarily both. But to fully optimise the system’s effectiveness, I ought to use all three, yea? Or will my experiment prove that it’s all marketing hype to get you to buy them all?

So far, I find the scent of Elsève very appealing. Fruity, creamy notes. Not too overpowering. I’ll have to see if it’ll work well with my hair and natural oils. As for the packaging, I’m not a fan of pink but it works. A bit copy heavy, though. Long names and too much words make up the description, seemingly like L’Oreal is out-selling itself. Heh.

What’s with the “New Light Reflecting Booster”? Isn’t the Pearl Protein ingredient enough then? Anyway, this pink one is for Dull Hair, Lacking Shine types. I reckon there are two more options. I failed to note which hair types they were for. Perhaps I’ll update you guys the next time I spot them again. Interestingly, you can’t find marketing collaterals on this product line over at the L’Oreal Paris website.

Full review on the L’Oreal Elsève Nutri-Gloss Haircare System, Pearl Protein to follow. Stay tuned for that.

Meanwhile, any of you beauties have tried this haircare system out? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Rich, extra care for severely damaged hair. Contains 10 oriental herbal extracts to hydrate, nourish, and aid recovery from within.

I have to admit that after a couple weeks, I’m beginning to worry about my hair again. I’m afraid that the cut isn’t really “growing” as well as I had expected. I’m looking into scheduling another appointment with the hairstylist for a touch-up session, hopefully, get the hair cut right.

With my new short hair, I’m seeing myself using more of the blow dryer and styling products to make sure the hair falls in the right places. However, we all know the risks we take if we do just that. Hair will then be prone to damage.

I’m currently using an intensive hair treatment from Sunsilk (gold pot), which is actually quite helpful in retaining moisture and softness in my hair but sometimes, I do find that it weighs down my hair and is difficult to rinse off. So, yea, I’m either going to switch back to the orange pot or try my luck on a new one and here’s my newest option, Kanebo Sensai’s Intensive Hair Mask.

My hair is not as healthy as it should be and I do often think it needs a whole lot of hydration treatment before I can actually get back it’s shine and luster. Is Kanebo the answer? I have yet to find out. I’ll let you know if I do end up giving this product a go.

Bento Beauty Tip: Massage the intensive hair mask into hair 1-2 times a week after shampoo. Don’t forget to rinse thoroughly.
