It takes a lot for me to get excited about a hair product. I’ve spoken previously about how totally inept I am at styling my own hair which means that, generally speaking, as long as it’s clean then I’m happy. Which is why when the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Wonder Water 8 Second Hair Treatment plopped through my letterbox last month, I simply put it to one side to test out later. Sure, the press release had me slightly intrigued—this is one of the best-selling hair treatments in the United States with one bottle selling every minute—but, like I said, I’m just not that that fussed about hair stuff.
However, all that changed when basically every beauty editor I know started raving about this hair treatment. As a collective, beauty editors are not that easy to impress. We try a lot of products so for one to come along that truly causes a stir is pretty rare. My Instagram feed was suddenly full of people singing the praises of this new launch—so I knew I had to try it immediately.
Ahead, I’ve got the full lowdown on everything you need to know about the L’Oréal Paris Wonder Water as well as my honest first impression.
