Beauty on a Budget: L'Oreal Studio Perfect Fix and Studio Soothness Smoothing Cream Review

I was recently given a few L'oreal hair care products for review so I thought I'd slap them in my Beauty on a Budget section and give you the low down on these two new products from L'Oreal.

I got both the L'Oreal Studio Perfect Fix Ultra-Fine Spray and the Studio Smoothness Smoothing Cream. Since they are both for hair management I figured I'd review them together!

The good news is I actually like both.

It deserves to be mentioned that my hair has been silicon free for a few years now. I use all Lush hair care which contains no silicons which in turn equals perfect hair everyday of my life. The only silicons that take up residence in my hair were a bit of smoothing gel I used to use a year ago but I had since switched my gel over to Lush's King of Mods and that was the end of silicons from my life completely!

Aside from that I will say that I've been using the L'Oreal Studio Smoothness Smoothing Cream for a week now and I actually do like it. I know hair care posts are probably a snore but since I have the products here anyway I figure I might as well review them!

The texture is simply wonderful. I may be out of touch with the drugstore brand of hair care and there may very well be a product out there like this already but I've personally never seen such an interesting formula. The texture is just like a moisturizing lotion that you'd apply to your body! I take a little more than a pea size amount and apply it to my wet hair and smooth it in. It tames my any frizz I have and keeps my hair safely in place all day long. My hair is very long, very wavy, and very out of control thus slicking it back into a bun and slapping a hair band in place is my normal order of the day when I'm heading out to work. It happens to smell really fresh as well kinda like the way most salons smell when you walk in! You know what I mean I'm sure!







Now I also received the matching L'Oreal Perfect Fix Ultra Fine Spray Finishing Hairspray! Holy cow that was a big mouth full! This too I will give a raving review too. Again, I feel a bit out of touch with hair care from drugstores and have no idea of options available out there but I felt like this was very different from my past drugstore purchases. It's been ages since I've touched drugstore styling products and I always think back to my teen years when hair spray and gel bulletproof'ed my head for me. This was great because if someone shot at me I could carry on without worry since the bullet would literally bounce off my head. Can't say I get the same sort of protection with this hairspray! It's very light, smells lovely, and doesn't leave behind a hard, crusty layer! It actually makes my hair very soft and bouncy! The Muse likey!





As I said I'm shocked as I really do associate major build up with styling products but both of these did work well and gave a very natural finish and hold that I liked! I'm still using both after a week now which could count for something, obviously I'm impressed.

If you're looking for something to give your hair great management and minimal buildup with a cheap price tag I'd definately see about picking up both of these. These are pretty darn good.

What do you use to manage your hair?
