On a new path....

So I thought it was time to give these fancy expensive salon products a go and after quite a bit of online research decided to give the L'Oreal Mythic Oil conditioner and treatment a go. It looks like this:



I paid 17 Euro (22 USD) for the conditioner and 19 Euro (24 USD) for the treatment which is, as I think, quite a lot of money. At least a hell of a lot more as I have ever spent before for hair care products. 



I also bought argan oil and the L'Oreal Oilixir oil which is from their Nature line and is an organic product with the following ingredients:
Olea Europea Oil (Olive Fruit Oil), Isopropyl Palmitate, Argana Spinosa Oil (Argana Spinosa Kernel Oil), Lavandula Angustifola Oil (Lavender Oil), Linalool, Limonene
It looks like this: 



I paid 5 Euro (50 ml) for the argan oil and 11 Euro (50 ml) for the Oilixier. So far I have used the Oilixier as a pre-wash treatment and a leave-in after washing and I love the results and the lavendar smell. The argan oil I have used on my dry ends before I go to bed and also as a leave-in after washing.


And last but not least for extra dry ends protection I got the Sante Natural Wax. It's actualy a styling wax but can also be used to protect your ends. This also is an organic product with the following ingredients:
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Lanolin, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Behenyl Alcohol, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Parfum (Essential oils)



I paid 5 Euro for 50 ml and I suppose it will last me forever. The smell is absolutely gorgeous, like coconut and vanilla!!


Conclusion (so far):
I don't think I will re-buy the Mythic Oil products again since after using these two products for the past three weeks I can tell you they are definitely no miracle products. My hair doesn't feel any different than after using a cheaper drugstore conditioner and treatment. Plus I'm not exactly pleased with the smell and this is something that matters a lot to me.

The Oilixier and the argan oil are good products which, I think, are worth the money. I will definitely continue to use them and experiment a little bit more with the argan oil to see what this can do for my hair.

The Sante Wax is also an awesome product which protects my ends from friction at night without making them look greasy the other day. You get a lot of an awesome smelling product for a small price so thumbs up!

My shrine in March 2013

It was about time for another shrine picture since I have bought a lot of new products recently. So here we go!



This is just a teaser for my next post which will hopefully be up in a couple of days. As you can see I have finally crumbled and have bought three expensive L'Oreal salon products and the argan oil which I have been dying to try for ages. There you have it, I'm going all posh! lol
