FAQ

1. What is hair glossing and why is it beneficial?

Hair glossing is a popular treatment designed to boost your hair's shine and vibrancy. When hair is damaged, its cuticles lift, causing it to reflect light poorly and appear dull. The L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss at-home glossing routine is designed to counteract this by resurfacing the hair fibre and sealing the cuticles, resulting in intensely shiny, smooth, and healthy-looking hair.

2. How does Glycolic Acid work on hair?

Known as the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), Glycolic Acid is able to penetrate the hair fibre. Our Glycolic Gloss complex with Glycolic Acid laminates the cuticles and improves hair quality for glossy hair that lasts.

3. What is hair lamination and how does the Glycolic Gloss routine work?

Hair lamination creates an intense, long-lasting shine. Thanks to its unique pH, our formula, featured in the Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination Rinse-Off, laminates the cuticle to ensure smoothness and promote long-lasting shine, in just five minutes.

4. Why is the L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss so different?

Our unique complex with Glycolic Acid laminates the hair surface like a shield, providing a hair transformation that lasts through 5 washes1. It is our first at-home glossing routine, inspired by professional treatments, offering an accessible gloss lamination for all hair types.

5. How do I use the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss routine?

For a complete hair transformation, follow our 4-step at-home glossing routine:

Step 1: Start with the Glycolic Gloss Shampoo to fill the fibre with care.
Step 2: Apply the Glycolic Gloss Conditioner to perfectly smooth the fibre's surface.
Step 3: Apply the 5 Minute Lamination Rinse-Off treatment generously on damp hair from lengths to ends. Leave on for 5 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
Step 4: To finish, apply the Glycolic Gloss Leave-In Serum to coat the hair with ultimate shine glaze.

6. Does the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss really work?

Yes. Our formulas are proven by lab tests to deliver 2x more shine2. In consumer tests, 78% of UK women agreed they got the shiniest hair of their life3

7. How often should I use the L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss range?

The Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-In Serum are designed for daily use. For a deeper treatment, the 5 Minute Lamination Rinse-Off can be used as needed to boost your shine. The hair transformation lasts up to 5 washes1.

8. Can you use L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss on dyed or color-treated hair?

Yes, the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss range is suitable for all hair types, including color-treated hair. It helps to enhance shine and smoothness, which can revive the look of your color.

9. Is L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss good for curly hair?

Absolutely. The Glycolic Gloss routine works on all hair types, from straight to sleek to curly. It provides a weightless shine, ensuring that your curls look glossy and defined without being weighed down.

10. Is the L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss Shampoo sulphate-free?

Yes, the Elvive Glycolic Gloss Shampoo is sulphate-free, designed to fill the hair fiber with care while gently cleansing.

11. What are the main ingredients in the Glycolic Gloss range?

The key ingredient is Glycolic Acid, which powers our [Gloss Complex]. This powerful ingredient, typically used in skincare, is now harnessed for hair to penetrate the fibre, seal cuticles, and deliver a lasting shine glaze.

12. What results can I expect to see?

Using the full routine instantly improves hair quality and seals it with a lasting shine. Hair is left smoother, with a glass-like finish that reflects light beautifully.

13. How long does the shine from the Glycolic Gloss treatment last?

The hair transformation achieved with the full L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss routine, including the 5 Minute Lamination Rinse-Off, lasts up to 5 washes1.

14. What is the texture of the products?

The Shampoo has a rich, caring formula. The Conditioner and 5 Minute Lamination Rinse-Off are creamy and easy to spread. The Leave-In Serum is a lightweight fluid that provides a final touch of shine without weighing hair down.

15. Is the Glycolic Gloss range good for damaged or porous hair?

Yes, the range is specifically designed for dull, porous hair. The Glycolic Acid helps to restore the fiber from the inside to improve hair quality and seals the cuticles, which is especially beneficial for hair that has become porous and lost its shine.

16. What is the main benefit of the Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination Rinse-Off?

This is the star of the show. It seals the hair cuticles with a lasting shine glaze in just 5 minutes, delivering a powerful lamination effect that is key to achieving iconic hair shine

17. What is the fragrance of the Glycolic Gloss range?

The routine features a beautiful scent with top notes of Grapefruit, a heart of Jasmine, and a warm base of Cedarwood for a sensorial and pleasant experience.

18. Is the L'Oréal Paris Glycolic Gloss range good for low porosity hair?

While the range is formulated for all hair types and is particularly effective on porous hair, those with low porosity hair can also benefit. Glycolic Acid is the smallest AHA, allowing it to effectively penetrate the hair shaft and deliver shine. As with any new product, you can start by using it less frequently to see how your hair responds.

Disappointed

8 months ago
Need sulfate free and thought I had purchased sulfate free EVLIVE. Used it. Loved it. And it was not sulfate free! My head and ears are broke out and when I tried to find the EVLIVE sulfate free, it’s only available in the UK for some ungodly amount to ship here. Why can’t it be available in the US like the others??!!!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Fantastic for dry porous hair on holiday

10 months ago
I bought this and the matching Glycolic Gloss conditioner and used it everyday on holiday for 2 weeks after swimming in the pool/sea and very hot sunshine and it was a miracle worker! My hair is usually dry from heat products and highlights, so on holiday is even worse but my hair felt like real hair every day! I was thrilled. I bought it half price on offer.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I’ve tried this twice now and both times it’s made my hair greasy and took 2x as much time to dry my hair. My hair does not feel clean at all.

No, I do not recommend this product.
