Loreal Stylista Hair Care Review

Summer can be fun, hectic and humid so quick, effortless hairstyles are the way to go. For Instagram-worthy hair in a hurry, Loreal has formulated a collection of lightweight, fruit infused leave-ins to create a variety of trendy looks and nourish your strands from root-to-tip.

I have a difficult time keeping my hair straight and neat in the summer heat but the Smoothing Serum ($8.49) works with my styling tools while providing heat protection up to 230˚C. Apply evenly before blow drying or flat ironing to keep your tresses sleek and frizz-free with less flyaways and poof. The serum smells fantastic and shields from sun damage with no sticky residue – perfect for warm summer nights.

If sleek and chic isn’t your thing, embrace your inner wild child with the Texturizing Mist ($8.49) and let your tendrils flow free. The blue liquid may look like a melted Freezie but a few sprays creates sea-kissed beachy waves that bounce in the breeze. Simply mist on dry hair and scrunch for windswept body with no crunch, dryness or silicones.

My favorite product is the Defining Spray ($8.49) loaded with Goji Extract to hydrate and tame unruly curls. I use it as a finishing product for bouncy, frizz-free ringlets and smooth ends. The alcohol-free formula is gentle and works well with a diffuser for soft, tousled curls.

The Heat Protective Primer ($8.49) with Grape Seed Oil can be used for blowouts and heat styling. It protects hair from thermal damage, maintains your style for up to 24 hours and allows you shape and volumize with ease.

Although the Shaping Cream Wax ($8.49) was made for pixie cuts, I use it on my long curls for extra hold and definition. The supple texture allows you to create sleek styles or edgy spikes that frame the face and enhance your short locks.
