Product Details
The Absolut Repair Professional Mask by L'Oréal Professionnel is a deeply hydrating protein treatment hair mask designed for dry and damaged hair, infused with gold quinoa seed extract and hydrolyzed wheat protein to strengthen, soften, add shine, and repair surface damage. It can be used as a pre- or post-wash treatment, leaving hair 7x shinier and smoother with a lightweight feel when used with the matching shampoo. Typical use involves applying to lengths and ends, leaving on for 3-5 minutes (or longer for thicker hair), then rinsing.
