L'Oreal Professionnel Thermo Cell Repair Leave-On Treatment

Hey guys,

So the first product I'm going to review from my BIG haul is this hair treatment.
I bought it from Lazada approximately 2-3 months ago. I have been using it occasionally, usually after I wash my hair and before I dry it with hair dryer.

The price was IDR 220K or about US$ 17 for 150ML tube, which I think is not very cheap.
The product comes in a plastic tube and cap. The packaging looks nice with gold and silver colors that make it seem classy. When you squeeze the tube, it gets back to its shape, which means it's quite thick and stiff. Overall, I can't complain about the product appearance and packaging quality.

Now, let's take a look at the product texture. It comes in a white milky color with lotioney texture and floral fragrance. The texture is nice, not too runny nor too creamy. It's just the right consistency to apply on a damp hair. Easily absorbs into my hair and leaves no sticky feelings or residue. However, I have to say the fragrance is not really appealing for my taste. Somehow it smells like a cheap stuff. So, the scent could be nice to other people, but it's just not right for me.

The product claims to help repairing and protecting hair strands from damage. It is meant to be applied on your clean damp hair before hair-drying your hair.

Well, after using it for several times, I haven't seen or felt any improvement on my hair. It doesn't look healthier or more manageable. Even right after using it, when my hair dries up, it leaves no smooth feelings or anything! Unlike the L'Oreal Hair Expertise serum that I previously reviewed, it does nothing to make my hair frizz-free and soft. Sorry L'Oreal, but you failed me this time!

I don't get it! L'Oreal Hair Professionnel price range is comparable to L'Oreal Hair Expertise, probably even more expensive. But why do they have such a huge difference in quality? The Hair Expertise variants also have more pleasant scent, in my opinion.

Based on all the experience, especially the impact on my hair and the scent, I can only give this product 2 out of 5 stars. It's a bit pricey and it does nothing to my hair. The only good things about the product are the packaging and the milky texture. It's a big disappointment :( :( :(
