If you're on social media, you have probably seen at least one influencer talk about the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Wonder Water*. My TikTok 'for you' page is full of people raving about how amazing this product is, as the lamellar water within the product deposits amino acids onto the damaged parts of your hair without weighing them down. Like me, you may be a little sceptical at first on how a product that has the word 'water' in the title will do anything magnificent for your hair, but of course I had to test it out for myself. I finally managed to grab it for just £4.95 after searching high and low in stores, as due to its popularity it was always sold out!
The wonder water claims to resurface the hair fibres, making it 10x smoother with a glassy shine and a silky touch in just 8 seconds! After using it for the first time, I couldn't quite believe how amazing my hair felt. It was so silky and smooth, which is pretty uncommon as I tend to have quite dry and frizzy locks. This product can be used alone, but I did apply the Garnier Ultimate Blends Banana Hair Food mask (you can read my review on this product here) after I had rinsed out the Wonder Water, which possibly contributed to the silkiness of my hair.
After drying my hair with an old T-shirt (this helps reduce breakage), I combed it through with a wide toothed comb and applied my heat protectant ready to blow dry. I had seen a couple of people online mention that their hair felt a little brittle after blow-drying it, and I found after a couple of uses this started to happen to me. When I really love a product, I have a small habit of overusing it and end up having to cut back on my uses over time. I have trained my hair to sustain two washes a week, so I have been using this product every other week to maximise the results. Overall I would say this product is probably overhyped however, it has worked wonders for a lot of people, so it is always worth a try if you're into testing out products.
You can purchase the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Wonder Water from a range of retailers such as Look Fantastic, Superdrug and Boots.

GARNIER ULTIMATE BLENDS HAIR FOOD PAPAYA & BANANA MASK | FOR DRY AND DAMAGED HAIR
A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was on a journey to take better care of my hair to try and repair some of the heat damage I’ve caused myself over the years (see here). After some extensive research and watching @hasinikay talk through the ingredients in haircare products on TikTok (I highly recommend checking out her channel) I decided to cut out silicone from my routine. I had heard so many good things about the Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food products due to being made up of 98% of natural ingredients whilst also being silicone free (yay) so I had to give them a go.
Each of the Garnier Hair Foods masks* have three different functions. A condition, rinse out mask or leave in conditioner. Personally I only ever use masks as exactly that as I find this leaves the best results, my hair also gets greasy very quickly, so it doesn't mix well with leave in treatments. I opted for this mask first as it was specifically for damaged hair. After using the Papaya mask for a couple of weeks, I can't rave about it enough. It has definitely strengthened my ends and given them the nourishment they were crying out for. I have heard quite a few people say they don't like the smell, but I think it is divine! I was originally using it twice a week, but I have had to cut this down as my hair gets used to products quite quickly and the results become less prominent as time goes on.
Let me know your thoughts on these masks in the comments, or if you have any other recommendations!
