L’Oreal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination for Dull Hair, 200ml

1. Overview

• Finish & Target: High-shine, glass-like lamination finish engineered to transform dull, porous, and lackluster hair by sealing the cuticle and reflecting light from root to tip.

• Texture & Format: Rich, creamy conditioning emulsion housed in an easy-squeeze 200ml tube dispenser designed for smooth saturation across wet hair strands.

• Wear & Performance: Intensive gloss-sealing performance that lasts up to multiple washes, smoothing hair fibers and reducing surface friction for instant slip and mirror-like brilliance.

• Key Benefits: Acidic gloss-sealing technology that balances hair pH and smooths ruffled cuticles. Suitable for all hair types (straight, wavy, curly, or coily), color-safe, and formulated without heavy silicones that weigh hair down.

2. Key Ingredients

• Glycolic Acid (AHA): Penetrates the hair fiber to rebalance pH levels, tighten lifted cuticles, and create a perfectly smooth, light-reflecting surface.

• Amodimethicone & Conditioning Polymers: Smart silicones that selectively target and adhere to damaged, porous areas of the hair shaft while rinsing clean from healthy zones to prevent buildup.

• Citric Acid: pH-adjusting active that seals down the outermost cuticle layer to lock in active moisture and maximize surface shine.

• Glycerin & Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Hydrating humectants that draw moisture deep into the hair cortex, improving elasticity, softness, and manageability.

3. How to Use

1. Cleanse: Shampoo hair thoroughly (ideally using the corresponding Glycolic Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner) and squeeze out excess water.

2. Apply: Apply a generous amount of the 5-Minute Lamination treatment from lengths to ends, avoiding direct application onto the scalp.

3. Process: Leave on for exactly 5 minutes to allow the glycolic acid and sealing polymers to bond with the cuticle.

4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the hair feels slick, clean, and completely residue-free.
