L'oreal Powerdose Mega Supply

My hair has been through a lot and sadly it is showing signs of damage. I've read all over the Internet regarding the Powerdose treatment by L'oreal and how awesome they were.  It comes in 4 variants and the mega supply is supposedly for damaged hair. I went to my local salon and found out that they sell it for Php750. It's not cheap since one vial contains only 10ml. You'd probably need more than 1 vial if you have long or thicker hair. So instead of buying the Powerdose  and having the treatment done in the salon, I scoured the Internet for online shops selling it for a cheaper price. I happen to find one through multiply. With Php750 I was able to by 2 vials. I can't remember the name of the store since I bought my Powerdose last May. 

I followed the instructions on the internet since this product did not have any instructions written on it. I had really high expectations from the product since a lot has been raving about them. But sadly I was disappointed as it didn't do anything for me. It did soften my hair but my regular conditioner would do the same job at a cheaper price. This product is supposed to be so potent that you only need to use it once a month and so I used one last June and the next one last July but I didn't notice any significant difference in my hair. I'm beginning to think that  maybe I bought a fake one since I've read that there are fake L'oreal products online. I don't know. The scent of the product is very reminiscent of the L'oreal Absolut shampoo that I used before that was supposedly for very damaged hair. 

Girls what do you think?  If ever you know a store selling L'oreal Powerdose that's not over Php400 a piece let me know as I'd like to try it again. 

L'oreal Absolut Repair Shampoo

Php1500 for 1500ml

I wasn't really going to purchase this product at the salon however the phrase for very damaged hair got me. My poor hair has been colored and straightened plus it also doesn't help that I use various hair appliances once in a while too so very damaged hair it is. 

First thing I have to say is this shampoo is BIG. I share this with my sister and we've been using this shampoo for a little over six months and we still have some left. Loreal Absolut Repair also comes in a smaller bottle but it is cheaper to buy this 1.5L bottle. I wouldn't recommend getting this though if you are the type who changes shampoos frequently. This can last for a year seriously if you use it by yourself. I wish the product came with a pump since it’s heavy and not to mention hard to tilt the bottle especially when you already have wet hands. It’s hard to control how much shampoo comes out from the bottle.  

The shampoo smells nice. It has a creamy consistency however it doesn't lather up as well as I would like it. I've noticed that it made my hair feel harder to the touch that's because it probably strengthens the hair. I don't know but a simple conditioner can fix that so no big deal. For over half a year of usage, it made my hair in better shape but I would say that it wasn't an incredible product. What helped my hair the most though are frequent trims and less use of dyes and hair tools.
