L'OREAL Professional Serie Expert Intense Repair Shampoo

**Back_To_Basics** · September 14th, 2010, 08:41 AM

Hello,
I was trying to find out the ingredients in this shampoo, but can't seem to find it on line. The product comes up but does not show the ingredients.
L'OREAL Professional Serie Expert Intense Repair Shampoo "Cuti Liss system" .
I've searched and searched..but no luck. Does anyone know what the ingredients are in this..and what do they think.
My salon recommended this product, and I wanted to get your
thoughts on it. Thanks for any help. They suggested to shampoo with it, and just put a finishing product in...no
conditioner.
The finishing product is PURE NV BKT Formaldehyde Free BKT Botanical Keratin Treatment. I can't find the ingredients for this as well. Please, can someone give me some advice on this, and what you think? Thanks.
Again, I do trust my stylist..but I still want to get advice from
here. I hope that doesn't sound dumb

.
Ok thanks for any advice on this.

Personally, I wouldn't for the life of me use those products. <.<
But that's just me.

You could check on each ingredient individually, it's a good way to learn about ingredients and how they work.

Cosmetics database is one of the best databases for ingredients and products. try it!

Cones, parabens, sulfates, oh my!
I'd recommend to follow Konstifik's advice and learn more about how each ingredient works, it's always good to know when shopping for a new product whether it be shampoo, conditioner, skin care products, styling products, etc. Your hair and health will thank you!

This tells you if it has been tested on animals.
That is nice to know that. Poor animals. I
don't know about others..but I feel bad for the animals
that they try this stuff on.
I guess that makes me a goof ball.

i would probably try to find something else to use.. many of those ingredients can have some scary long term effects

Konstifik,
Thanks for that link. Some of the ingredients looked formiliar,
but most of them did not. Since I can remember I always used "not tested on animal".
I know color # 5 has been a problem for me in the past.

I use to live in a small town and I kept telling my lanlord
there is something wrong with the water he did not believe
me. I knew deep in my heart there was something wrong with it. I use to travel about 25 miles a month to a spring where the water flowed freely,and all was welcome to it. I filled up as many 50 gallon jugs (about 10 of them) I lined them up in my apartment and then I went and purchased a camping jug that
was material safe..fold up kind. I then jury rigged a board above my shower and sat the camping container filled with water (from the spring) on top of it.. pulled the clip open..and the water ran out like a little shower over my head the water was cold but that was ok better then using water I knew was not safe.
After a few weeks of this..I started feeling better.
My body is good at detecting things...and I always trust myself when a signal goes off.
I'm for the non toxic products..if I can help it.

If you're sensitive to chemicals of various kinds, I'd not at all recommend those products. Not any product by L'oreal, in fact.

I have no idea what brands and products that are available where you live, but I think you should look in every store, particularly health-food stores and organic resellers, for products that suits you. Look by the ingredient list and learn what to appreciate and what to avoid.

If you can't find the ingredient/product in the Cosmetics database, google usually helps alot.
