L'occitane Repairing Poo and Condish is the Truth!

⏳ Limited Access:

How does the poo repair your hair?

Despite the name, IMHO, there is nothing that can truly repair damaged hair. It can only ease the symptoms. The shampoo is SLS-free, has lavender, ylang ylang and other oils. It leaves my hair feeling like I just washed out conditioner. HTH
 
I want to get these products...What are the top four that you recommend buying first??

I am still behaving with my PJism. I haven't purchased the Aromachologie Line, so cannot speak to its benefits. I can't wait to try it. I park next to L'Occitane every day so I really dont need to go in to the store and rack up with $200 worth of poo when I have a whole closet full at home now.

But I have NO DOUBT that it is doing what everyone says...because their entire line of products for skin care is amazing too. AMAZING. I am in love with so many of their products...I've been using more of their skin care products than hair, but I never have any fear in trying one of their bottles of conditioner.

That said, recommend the following 4 conditioner products for moisture, based on what I have tried so far :

Shea Butter Ultra Rich Conditioner (Daily Conditioner)
http://usa.loccitane.com/FO/Catalog/Product.aspx?prod=01AS200K5

Shea Butter Ultra Rich Hair Mask (Deep Conditioning Moisture)

Olive Oil Hair Paste (Deep Conditioning Moisture)

Rose Conditioner (Daily Conditioner & Detangler)


I mentioned before. I have yet to find a conditioner that isnt absolutely heavenly from their line (and ultra expensive). So have no fear. Also, you can request a sample of a conditioner they will make one for you, then take it home, see if you like it and buy the whole bottle. They have a very strict return policy so I always make sure Im satisfied with my product before purchasing.

All cond. I have tried smells great, all have healthy hair ingredients, detangle well, and leave a really nice finish for my hair. Shampoo, I was a bit traumatized by the Rose Shampoo and the Ultra Rich SHea Butter Shampoo, left my hair way too dry so I stopped searching...but I am willing to try again.

After hearing all these reviews (and seeing that LHCF has once again sold it out online) on the Arch. Shampoo, I will most likely pick up a vat of it to try now. I can't help myself. :) I will sample the A. shampoo, A. Leave In, and A. Cond. Also, I have been eyeing the Lavendar Detangling Conditioner...
 
Thanks Lovie. Girl........I know it must be incredibly hard parking so close everyday. So far, I purchased but haven't used yet:

1) The Shea Butter Mask
2) The Olive Oil Hair Paste
3) *Just Ordered the Conditioner for Dry & Damaged Hair

Can't wait to try them! Thanks Again:yep:
 
I noticed that the regular shea butter conditioner has cones immediately at the top of the ingredients list but the Mask has shea butter immediately and only 1 cone first. Does this mean the Mask actually moisturizes or is better for deep conditioning?

I purchased the Shea Butter Mask specifically for a Deep Conditioning Treatment.
 
So I got a PM for Tilati last night. See her comments below. I can't wait to see her pics!

hi

I'm sorry I forgot to came back in the thread. So the result was amazing!!! Silky strong hair all the way. It's definitely a keeper I flat ironed and the result was beautiful. I will try to post a couple of pics in the thread during the week.

See you soon


Hi everybody

so here are the pics... they are quite bad because I have a crapy camera but I have done my best.

ETA: the curls were after a few bantu knots the following days

Gorgeous. You got some great shine there! :)

:blush: oh thanks a lot. You know I was a little self conscious because it's my first time posting pics on this board...

I big choped 4 years ago and I had a few setbacks in between. Now I'm trying to make it to WSL and to get rid of my last layers ( I hate them)
 
Just to be curious I went to the Sephora web site, and ALL the repairing shampoo, mask and serum are sold out!!! Did We do that?
 
I seriously need to stay out of this thread :wallbash: ... I feel a trip to L'occitane tomorrow coming on :perplexed :ohwell::nono: :look:
 
I purchased and used the repairing mask this weekend and my hair felt so so wonderful. I just love the fresh smell of their products. I also have the repairing serum and I really like it!! I am waiting for the Conditioning Hair Mist to arrive.

Glad you finally got them! It's sold out in so many places. I'm going to have to but this stuff by the gallon! :perplexed

I use the regular conditioner for when I am washing hair in the shower. I use the Shea Butter Mask in the tin jar only as DC treatment, and with heat. Hair feels soft with both after, but I do believe that the regular conditioner has strong detangling properties, while the DC gives a more intense treatment. Hair feels soft after both applications.

HTH.

Thanks. I guess the cones at the top explain the strong detangling properties for the regular conditioner. I'll probably get both cause I really need a detangler & a good moisturizing deep conditioner.

I will add this: There are so many good products out there! The fun is in the find.

The L'Occitane line is insanely expensive, but I have no negative things to mention on their hair/skin products. Every product that I have tried is always very moisture-rich. I love to pamper myself with these things, but there is no way I could justify using this $17 bottle of conditioner as a co-wash conditioner - I would go through it way too fast.

Anyway, if things get too expensive, or it doesn't work out, another good detangler to try is Bain de Terre Green Meadow Conditioner (replaced BDT White Clover). For Moisturizing DC treatment, Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner is tried, true, and hasn't failed me in over 21/2 years. Both products are sold at Trade Secret, and I think Pure Beauty/Beauty First.


Just food for thought. Please remember to share how it works for you.
:)
 
Umm, I would just like to say that I blame my PJism on:

1. LHCF threads like this where you have a fellow proclaimed PJ saying that she's throwing it all away for the one HG product... then it gets sold out at the online retailer from all the lurkers, and you're like WHYYYYYY! I missed the boat! Must...get...L'Occitane...:yep:

2. A lifetime of limitation to Pink Lotion, Blue Magic, and Sta So Fro in the "black hair" section of the store/pharmacy/BSS. Who ever heard of lines like Kerastase and L'Occitane growing up? The only thing I saw different from the grocery store was Mary Kay, Avon, or Fashion Fair. :)

3. Finding success when I follow LHCF recommendations for a new product. It just makes me trust the rants that much more. :rolleyes:

My husband is going to flip out if I come home with another bottle of overpriced conditioner. :wallbash:



Sigh.
There's got to be a better way.
 
:eek: @ the thought of using ANY of the L'Occitane conditioners for a co-wash. I'd end up bankrupt! :lachen:

I guess I'm insane. I bought the conditioners specifically for the few times that I do co-wash. I don't co-wash very often, so I guess I can justify it that way. BTW, I got the lavender detangling conditioner for that specific purpose.

I'm not even going there. Once I start, I won't be able to stop! :lol:

I've got the Lavender Clarifying shampoo - smells gorgeous. I can only dream how good the conditioner smells. *sigh*

Let me back up out of this thread! :lachen:

OH THE AGONY!

Why did you tell me this...OK...taking a breath..

So how is the Lavendar Detangling? Is it better than the Shea Butter Regular Conditioner? I know its glorisu...the SB Conditioner detangles beautifully and its not even marketed as that type of product...so does the Rose. And I love the Lavendar hand creme.. how long have you been using the Lavendar Conditioner for Co-Washes and do you ever get anytype of cone build up?

WAIT! TAKE ME WITH YOU! Before my husband divorces me for walking int he door with $300 worth of conditioner, clarifying poo, and body oils...with a look of the kid who made the spill in the Scotts Paper Towel commercial..

Thanks for the review and recommendations! I may have to try those out.
