LOREAL PROFESSIONAL Absolut Repair Molecular Rinse-off Hair Mask for Damaged Hair

Replump damaged hair & stengthen hair's molecular layers. When hair is damaged, its molecular structure, composed of peptides, is compromised. Hair breaks, becomes elastic, with no movement.  Most peptides are too big to be reinjected into the fibre, making damage irreversible. 

FOR THE FIRST TIME, L’Oréal's Advanced Research team successfully managed to break down peptides, to inject their components separately into the fibre².

For all damaged hair textures, colour-treated, lightened & natural hair, with Peptides bonder + 5 Amino acid, this patented concentrated rinse off hair mask strengthens hair's molecular layers. Up to +85% more smoothness, with extra detangling & suppleness1 and up to 94% reinforced hair

Instruction of use
Apply evenly on towel-dried hair.
Leave in for 1 to 2 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.For optimal results, use after Absolut Repair Molecular shampoo and rinse-off serum.

Ingredients (INCI):
Aqua / Water / Eau, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Distarch Phosphate, Quaternium-87, Dimethicone, Behentrimonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-150/Decyl Alcohol/SMDI Copolymer, Amodimethicone, Isopropyl Alcohol, Trideceth-10, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, PEG-100 Stearate, Steareth-6, Linalool, Trideceth-3, Glycine, Arginine, Serine, Tyrosine, Citric Acid, Glutamic Acid, Acetic Acid, Parfum / Fragrance.

A few key things inside it that make this mask interesting from a hairdresser/science perspective:

Peptides bonder + amino acids (glycine, arginine, serine, tyrosine, glutamic acid) → the “molecular repair” technology L’Oréal markets for rebuilding damaged hair structure.
Dimethicone + amodimethicone → smoothing silicones that give that instantly silky, glossy, expensive-feeling finish.
Behentrimonium chloride & Quaternium-87 → conditioning agents for detangling and softness.
Glycerin + propylene glycol → hydration/humectants.
Linalool + fragrance → fragrance allergens some sensitive clients may react to.

This is definitely more of a high-tech conditioning repair mask rather than a “natural” mask. Very good for:

bleached hair
overprocessed blondes
heat damage
hair that feels mushy, stretchy or rough

Not silicone-free, not protein-free, and not fragrance-free — but extremely cosmetic and smoothing on damaged hair.
