This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of L'Oreal® Paris Elvive.  The opinions and text are all mine.


If you've been following me for any amount of time then you've probably gathered that I have the driest skin and hair on earth.  Okay, maybe not on earth, but my hair and skin are both extremely dry and it's something I struggle with on a daily basis.  I used to color my hair all the time and I straightened my hair almost daily, so over time my hair has become very frizzy and damaged.  At one point it got so bad that I cut my hair to my shoulders to "start over".  But now that my hair has finally grown back out, I feel like I am dealing with the same problems all over again.  I really wasn't happy with my shorter hair before, so I've been searching for another solution to help me repair my damaged hair and keep it super long just the way I like it!


As you can see from the picture above, my hair is very long, dry, frizzy and damaged.  So I was really excited when I learned about the L'Oreal Paris Elvive line and how they have a special hair diagnostic test online to help you determine the exact products your hair needs to get you back on track to beautiful and shiny locks.  I took the test and found out that my hair was a level 3.  They determined that I should always use a heat protectant on my hair before any heat styling and a hair oil like their Elvive Extraordinary Oil as a finishing polish.  Depending on your hair's needs you will be recommended to use one of four products from the test: Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge, Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm, Elvive Extraordinary Oil (like me) or the Elvive Color Vibrancy Repair and Protect Balm.  You all definitely have to take the hair diagnostic test and let me know what level your hair is at!


After taking the test, I headed straight to my local CVS and found the entire Elvive line in the hair care aisle.  I grabbed the Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge and the Elvive Extraordinary Oil to use.  I'm going tell you how much of a difference these products made for my hair in just one use but I think pictures say a thousand words so just take a look at the after picture below!  After just one use my hair is already feeling stronger and healthier than before and it feels so much more soft and silky to the touch!  The Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge is a leave in treatment that helps protect against every day hair damage.  I love it because I straighten my hair almost every single day and it protects against up to 450 degree heat from styling tools.  I used the Elvive Extraordinary Oil as a finishing polish after I straightened my hair.  It is super lightweight and doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy at all but at the same time it helps to hydrate and nourish my super dry locks, and it smells amazing!


You can pick up any of the L'Oreal Paris Elvive line at your local CVS store.  The top 700 CVS stores will be participating in a peel and reveal event featuring the Elvive line from 3/8-3/11.  The in-store events will feature beauty consultants that will be available to help you with any questions or concerns you have about your hair and the products from this line.  You can find a store participating in the event nearest you through this link!

If you end up trying the Elvive line from L'Oreal Paris I know you won't be disappointed!  I am honestly amazed by my results after just one use and I can't wait to continue using these products in my everyday routine.  If you have any questions, as always, feel free to ask!

Thanks so much for reading!
