this new treatment with glycolic acid removes 75% of frizz from the first application

A very trendy anti-aging active ingredient, glycolic acid is also often used to treat scalps prone to dandruff. This exfoliating and moisturizing agent has the particularity of being very small, which allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin tissues or into the hair fiber. At the heart of the hair cuticle, it attaches to the keratin to protect hair from breakage but also make styling easier. Its protective action also allows maintain a good hydration level of the hair fiber and to bring more shine and softness to the lengths. The hair is more supple and silkier, but also more resistant to external aggressions, such as friction or heated styling appliances.

This is why the L’Oréal Paris brand has developed a brand new range of hair care enriched with glycolic acid. Products that are inspired by salon rituals and are designed to improve shine and softness of hair. In this Glycolic Gloss range, we find a very effective leave-in treatment to reduce the appearance of frizz.

An anti-frizz leave-in serum ideal for dull or porous hair

Last step of the protocol, this leave-in treatment protects the hair fiber and promises to reduce frizz by 75%*. It is ideally used after the 3 other products in the range (the sulfate-free shampoo, the sulfate-free detangler and the 5-minute lamination treatment) on dry or damp hair. Slightly satiny, it brings immediate shine to the lengths, while deeply caring for the hair fiber.

How to use it ? Place two drops of product in the palm of your hand, warm the material slightly then distribute over the lengths and ends. A procedure that can be done on damp hair, after shampooing, or on dry hair to add a touch of shine between two washes.

4 tips to avoid frizz

• Boost hydration : Frizz is often a sign of dehydrated hair. Use hair care products enriched with moisturizing active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, argan oil, coconut oil or shea butter.
• Use a sulfate-free shampoo : Sulfates found in many shampoos can dry out hair and worsen frizz. Choose sulfate-free formulas, especially if you have colored hair.
• Limit heat sources : Hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons can all contribute to drying out hair and increasing frizz. If you use these tools, be sure to apply a heat protectant to your hair before styling and use heat at lower settings to reduce damage.
• Favor natural bristle hairbrushes : natural bristle brushes are gentler on the hair fiber. They help distribute the hair’s natural oils throughout its length, which can reduce frizz by maintaining moisture.
