L’OREAL Paris ELVIVE Dream Long Shampoo 400ml Egypt

Product Overview

Dream Lengths is L’Oréal’s range for long hair, and long hair has a specific problem: the ends are years old. A strand at waist length has been washed, brushed, tied and heat-styled hundreds of times, and it shows there long before it shows anywhere else.

The formula pairs castor oil with vitamins B3 and B5. Its creamy texture cleans and nourishes without weighing the length down — which matters, because a heavy shampoo on long hair drags it flat.

Key Benefits

• Strengthens the length so it breaks less
• Reduces the appearance of split ends
• Castor oil and B vitamins nourish the hair
• Creamy texture that cleans deeply without weight
• Leaves long hair healthier-looking and glossier

How to Wash Hair Properly

1. Wet the hair thoroughly first. Shampoo on half-wet hair does not spread and does not lather.
2. Put the shampoo on the scalp, not on the length. The scalp is where the oil and dirt are; the ends get cleaned by the suds running down and that is enough.
3. Massage with the pads of the fingers, never the nails, for a minute or so.
4. Rinse until the water runs completely clear. Under-rinsing leaves residue that dulls hair and irritates the scalp.
5. A second, shorter lather if the hair was oiled or heavily product-laden. Otherwise one is enough.
6. Condition the mid-lengths and ends only, then rinse in cool water.

Keeping Long Hair Long

• Trim it. The most counter-intuitive advice in hair care and the truest — a split travels up the shaft and eventually costs you more length than the trim would have.
• Handle it wet with care. Wet hair stretches and snaps; use a wide-tooth comb and start at the ends.
• Vary where you tie it, and tie it loosely. A band in the same spot every day breaks hair exactly there.
• Sleep with it loosely braided, and on a smooth pillowcase if you can. A night of friction on cotton does real damage over years.
• Keep the heat off. The ends are the oldest part of the hair and the least able to take it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it make my hair grow faster?

No shampoo changes the rate hair grows. What this does is reduce breakage — and hair that stops snapping gets longer, which is what people are usually after when they ask.

Is it good for short hair?

It will do no harm, but it is formulated for the problems of length. Short hair has different needs and there are better matches for it.

Will it suit my hair type?

Most shampoos suit most hair. The differences that matter are how strongly it cleans and how much it conditions: fine or oily hair wants a lighter wash, dry or coarse hair wants a richer one. Coloured and chemically treated hair does best with sulfate-free.

How should I store it?

Somewhere cool and dry with the cap closed. A shelf away from the shower spray is better than one in it — constant heat and steam shorten the life of any formula.
