LOral Paris Total Race 5 in Bali

27/04/2011
Dalam rangka meluncurkan rangkaian produk perawatan terbaru LOral Paris Total Repair 5, yang menjawab 5 masalah rambut utama perempuan Indonesia (kusam, kering, rontok, bercabang, mudah patah), LOral Paris mengajak sejumlah media ke Bali untuk mengenal lebih dalam teknologi laboratorium LOral Paris dalam menciptakan satu solusi bagi kelima masalah rambut melalui Total Repair 5. Berdasarkan penjelasan yang diberikan oleh Veronique Schwartz, Head of Research and Innovation LOral Paris Laboratoires, setiap harinya rambut kita terpapar berbagai bentuk pengaruh dari lingkungan di sekitar kita yang bisa membuat kondisi rambut menjadi rapuh dan rusak. Kegiatan sehari-hari seperti menyisir rambut terlalu sering serta penggunaan alat penata rambut bertemperatur tinggi seperti pengering, pelurus serta pengkeriting rambut pun semakin memperparah kondisi kesehatan rambut. Akibatnya, rambut menjadi kering, rapuh, mudah patah dan bercabang serta kusam. Selain pengaruh luar, seiring berjalannya waktu, kondisi rambut juga dapat menurun secara alami seiring berkurangnya ceramide dan keratin yang merupakan komponen utama yang terkandung di rambut. Selain penjelasan mengenai faktor penyebab kerusakan rambut, media juga mendapatkan pengetahuan bagaimana LOral Paris meracik perawatan rambut sesuai dengan kebutuhan wanita Asia melalui sesi workshop peracikan shampoo yang tak lain adalah Total Repair 5 Shampoo yang memiliki formula berteknologi tinggi yang menggabungkan dua bahan yang memiliki kekuatan memperbaiki 5 masalah kerusakan pada rambut,

yaitu Pro-Keratin danCeramide. Kedua bahan ini bekerja memperbaiki kerusakan di bagian dalam dan luar rambut. Melalui sesi hair styling class kemudiannya, LOral Paris mendemonstrasikan bahwa kelima masalah rambut yang kerap kali dialami wanita Indonesia tersebut menjadi kendala dalamstyling, seperti ketika ingin membentuk sanggulan chignon atau mengepang rambut. Hair styling class tersebut juga bermaksud untuk sekaligus memberikan tips mudah bagi peserta untuk bisa mendandani rambutnya sendiri tanpa bantuan stylist. Indarto Sutardi, Group Product Manager LOral Paris untuk Hair Category, menambahkan, Total Repair 5 adalah lanjutan komitmen LOral Paris dalam menjadikan kecantikan lebih terjangkau bagi wanita Indonesia. Dengan memberi solusi bagi 5 masalah rambut terutama, Total Repair 5 kini memungkinkan kecantikan lebih mudah lagi diraih oleh lebih banyak wanita Indonesia. Dengan hadirnya Total Repair 5 Shampoo yang merupakan 1 solusi untuk 5 masalah rambut, tak perlu lagi menggunakan 5 jenis shampoo berbeda untuk mengatasi 5 masalah kerusakan pada rambut. Rambut kuat dan sehat yang menjadi idaman pun kini bisa dimiliki oleh lebih banyak wanita di Indonesia setelah LOreal paris menghadirkan solusi yang terjangkau ini.

After reading a bit of their 'history' let me share you my review. The shampoo is a delicate pearly white glow creamy texture that easily lathered up and turns into massive amount of foam. I do have a habit of overused a product and ended up wasting it. For my long hair I use around 5 ml and it gives me a clean hair with a fresh floral scent. There's a softness added to my hair that can be felt instantly. My scalp is a bit oily and most shampoo can't tame the sebum, I'm glad to say Total Repair by L'Oreal Paris doesn't aggravate my scalp, nice! The conditioner. Use it after the shampoo and making sure all the shampoo in the hair rinse properly. If you still feel dirty, you can shampoo your hair twice. Then apply the conditioner about halfway through your hair and all the way down. Avoiding the scalp at all cost. The conditioner is made for your hair strands, not for the scalp. It can make the scalp oily and you wont like the limp effect. Now make sure all the hair ends get secured with the conditioner and massage it a bit (very little movement) just to made sure all the ends get conditioned. Wait around 2-3 minutes before rinsing. I feel my hair become slippery and yes, that's what conditioner is for, creating like a thin film on your hair so further damage wont happen. The scent is mild and floral as well.

The mask. This is my favorite!!! The scent is soooo addictive and I just love how thick it is. White, so thick and creamy. My hair indulge in the texture and the scent. I use it after shampooing and towel dry my hair. I use a gallop size and massage through the hair strands, not really that close to my scalp, again I have oily scalp. I leave it on for 5 minutes, I know the instruction says 1 minute, but I like to take my time ^__^ Rinsing is a breeze, usually some mask need more time and buckets of water to rinse it thoroughly, this mask is easy. After rinsing I toweled it and use hair dryer as normal. Unfortunately the scent doesn't last long but the smoothness, glow, and strength, did. That's the good news. I recommend to use the conditioner daily but if you already use the mask, no need to follow up with conditioner, except if you really got dry hair. And all three of them is must try products ^___-- enjoy!

Last but not least, all of you Indonesian probably already know Dian Sastrowardoyo is the official ambassador and she is heading to Cannes and walk on the red carpet with all the gorgeous people in the world. so do stay tune and follow their official page in Facebook and Twitter: L'Oreal Paris Indonesia @LorealParisID Au Revoir!

Review: L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5

With the endless possibilities of hair styles, we expose our hair to external aggressors such as chemicals, heat and even excessive brushing or combing. Isn't it ironic that the efforts we put into making our hair look good are actually damaging it? L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 hair care range targets the five major problems of Asian hair: 1. Breakage 2. Dryness 3. Dullness 4. Coarseness 5. Split ends Read on for the review. There's an important poll I need you to take at the end of this post so, even if f you're not interested in this review, please read on anyway!

According to L'Oreal, the strength of the hair diminishes as external aggressors contribute to the loss of cement-ceramide, which is responsible for holding the hair scales (outermost layer of the hair) together. L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 hair care range contains CementCeramide that embeds itself in the spaces between the hair scales to strengthen the hair structure, repairing damage. Er, that sort of makes sense, right? Though, what matters is if they really work, despite what the claims are. Repairing Shampoo (RM11.90/180ml and RM22.90/375ml) Especially for damaged, devitalized hair. Repairs the hair without weighing it down. Lots of foam. Hair feels tangle free after washing. Repairing Conditioner (RM21.90/180ml and RM24.90/375ml) Completes the shampooing process by adding body to each hair shaft and untangling the hair.

Kinda creamy but still lightweight. Hair feels silky after conditioning. Repairing Night Essence (RM36.90/150ml) Takes advantage of the nighttime resting period to intensely transform the substance of the hair. Non-sticky. Hair feels bouncy in the morning. The range has that classic fruity-floral shampoo scent that I do not particularly crave. Wow. That has got to be the dullest review ever. To be honest, my hair isn't suffering from much damage in the first place. My hair hasn't been dyed or processed in any way for quite a long time. I rarely use heating appliances on my hair (just the occasional straightening iron). Heck, I don't even brush my hair all that often! Out of five, I only have two problems with my hair; dryness and coarseness. But the biggest problems with my locks are frizziness and stubbornness. I was using the range for two weeks or so and thought that it was pretty good until I noticed certain changes to my hair. Yes, they appear more tamed but the fact that I was feeling the need to wash my hair more often was getting frustrating. I don't like washing my hair everyday because I like how it looks on the 1st or 2nd unwashed day when my natural oils start to smooth out my hair. In the weeks that I was using the Total Repair 5 range, my hair seemed to have become unbearably greasy at the end of the 1st unwashed day. My scalp would start to itch and I'd get greasy scalp matter under my nails. Ugh. I stopped using the range for awhile and my hair was back to normal.

I decided that this was not a range that I feel comfortable using long term and I refuse to wash my hair everyday. I'm still using the products but only one at a time. For instance, if I'm using the Total Repair 5 shampoo, I'd use a different brand of conditioner. The only product in the range that I can single out would be the Repairing Night Essence. It's not spectacular but I like the texture and how it makes my hair look the next day. L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 hair care range is available in most leading pharmacies, health care stores and supermarkets. Also available in the range is the Deep Repairing Mask (RM27.90/200ml).

The beautiful Aishwarya Rai is the face of L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5. This should explain my pose in the first picture, eh?

IMPORTANT!!

L: With long hair in 2008. R: With short hair in 2010 I'm at a very frustrating crossroad. Long hair or short hair? Without a doubt, I prefer myself with short hair but I miss having long hair! The flipping and the twirling... Now I have mid-length hair (which I hate!) and I can't decide if I should persevere and keep growing it or chop it off. Vote below! Long Hair Pros
