L'Oréal~Oleo Therapy Perfecting Oil Essence

If you have read any of my previous reviews on hair oils, then you know that I am a hair oil fanatic! In my opinion if you find the proper hair oil for your specific type of hair, you will be left with amazing results that will have you hooked.  I have tried a wide range of hair oils, from high end oils to lower end oils. While this hair oil is a drugstore brand product, it is in the higher range in terms of price when compared to other drugstore items. This particular hair oil is from a quite new family of products in the drugstore. There is also a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, and hot oil treatment in the "Oleo Therapy Family". I have oily tried the oil and the hair mask(review to come). I must say that I fell in love with this hair oil from the very first use.

Here is some more information about the product from its website(http://www.lorealparisusa.com/):

Description: OleoTherapy Perfecting Oil Essence is a sensorial restorative treatment formulated with a 6 precious flower oils. This new perfect oil smooths each strand for silky shine and softness.

Ingredients:1041662 Eo3 Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Parfum/Fragrance, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Argania Spinosa Oil/Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil/Coconut Oil, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Chamomilla Recutita Extract/Matricaria Flower Extract, Isoeugenol, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, Rosa Canina Flower Extract, Linalool, Nelumbium Speciosum Extract/Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract, Linum Usitatissimum Flower Extract, Carrot Oil/Beta-carotene. F.I.L. # D162520/2

How To Use: DIRECTIONS: Apply 1-2 pumps evenly on damp or dry hair. Do not rinse. Style as usual.

This product comes in a heavy glass bottle, that is a golden color. The smell of the product is quite floral, but I don't think it would bother you if you are sensitive to smells (the smell does dissipate after application). In my opinion the smell is quite nice (it does not bother me, and I'm not really that sensitive to smells). This oil leaves my hair feeling conditioned, smooth, and soft without weighing it down. This oil is very light. However, I wouldn't over use it.  In many other reviews that I have read on this product, many people claim that it is a "dupe" for "Kerastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil". I cant speak to this claim because i have not yet used "Kerastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil". This product will cost you about $12.99. I was able to find it on sale at CVS, and got a few dollars off. You can buy this product, and learn more about it at: www.lorealparisusa.com. This product can also be purchased at Ulta (www.ulta.com), at CVS (www.cvs.com), online in many other places, and in many stores. I absolutely love this hair oil, and hope to try many more of the products from the line in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my review. If you have any questions or comments please leave them below. Have a GREAT DAY! 

Thanks,

Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil

As I have mentioned in many other reviews, I have recently developed a great love for hair oils. I have come to realize that a 3rd step, after shampooing and conditioning, is a very important factor in a good hair care routine. This third step being a leave-in conditioner or a hair oil, and even a mixture of the both if you feel that your hair needs the excess care. Since my realization I have grown quite the collection of hair oils. I must say that the "Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil" is one of my favorites. I apply this oil on clean and conditioned damp hair. You only have to use a very small amount of this oil, it is very concentrated and produces a very powerful moisturizing effect. I think that this oil is great for any person who likes to blow dry their hair to a smooth style. I feel that this oil will greatly help in smoothing the hair out, and leave you with less of a struggle while blow drying. If you are familiar with the smell of any of the products in the Redken All Soft line, then you will find this product to have a very similar smell. If not, I will say that it has a very light smell that is pleasant and does not last at all after application. This is a clear oil that comes in a slightly brown tinted plastic bottle, and has a gold colored metal pump. I paid $29.00 for this oil, and have been using it for probably more than 3 months. As far as I am concerned it will always be an oil that is in my hair oil collection. I am not so keen on the bottle that the oil comes in, however I did find that it comes in a prettily decorated box (pictured below, side view of the box).

The box that contains the bottle of oil reads:

All Soft Argan-6 Oil intensely nourishes and protects dry, brittle hair. Versatile treatment can be used in six ways:

1.MOISTURIZE: Pre-Shampoo Treatment

2.PROTECT: Pre-Blow-Dry Shield

3.SMOOTH: Post Blow-Dry Perfector

4.ILLUMINATE: Styling Shine Booster

SOFTEN: Treatment Booster

RECONDITION: Overnight Treatment 

DIRECTIONS: Apply on dry or damp hair concentrating on the mid-lengths and ends. Re-apply on dry hair as needed. 

So if you were wondering what the "6" was all about, now you know. I wondered what on earth it meant until I took a look at the box. It simply means that the oil can be used in 6 different ways. I purchased this product at Ulta for $29.00, it can be purchased directly through www.ulta.com at the same price. The only size (that I am aware of ) that this product is available in is a 3 OZ bottle. You can find more information about this product at www.redken.com. However you cannot purchase the product directly from the Redken website. Thank you so much for reading! Until next time! HAVE A GREAT DAY! :)
