If glazed donuts had a hair equivalent (stick with us here), L’Oréal Paris’ Glycolic Gloss Shine Boosting Shampoo and Conditioner would be it. That glossy lacquered finish, (whether spun from sugar or shine-inducing haircare ingredients), shouts ease and indulgence. Because who doesn’t want a hot, fresh Krispy Kreme, or in this instance, super shiny, healthy hair that looks unbothered by frizz and dryness?
Umm, everyone.
And the French big-wig beauty brand has tapped into our gloss obsession with this latest haircare duo.
Less basic wash and condition, more high-shine hair treatment, the Glycolic Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner are designed to make dull, porous strands look smoother, silkier and light-reflective. Unlike traditional shine formulas that can lean heavy or silicone-slick, the pair’s formulas take a more skin-care-minded approach.
Fuelled with glycolic acid—the beauty-world overachiever that migrated from facial serums to haircare—helps refine and smooth, sealing our hair’s cuticle so that it looks glossier and feels softer. Conditioning agents and smoothing polymers do the rest, drenching our strands in moisture, taming frizz and giving us that expensive, swishy movement usually associated with a salon blowout. All we have to do is wash, rinse and repeat every time we’re in the shower. And then, maybe, afterwards, pop by the donut shop for a sweet treat.
L’Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss Shine Boosting Shampoo and Conditioner, from $7.99 each for 375 ml each, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
