What is arginin?
It is, probably, the most interesting question. Both for you, and for me. What is promised by this series? By the way, you know that L’Oreal still has a series "Sil Arginin of Light"? Therefore there is a sense to learn about this substance, now in assortment at once two scales with argininy at L’Oreal. "Sil of an arginin h3" - that which I test. It is intended for normal hair. And "Sil Arginin Light" has almost same packings, but blue kantik with the word Light, and the line is intended for an oily hair as a formula in these means easier, not making heavier.For some reason the supermarket in which I bought means decided that it will be not really interesting to me to know what is written about Arginin on packing: on all packings barcodes or stickers from shop were pasted.
If someone who is responsible for it in shops, reads these lines now, I ask: Do not do so! It is important to buyers to know what is written on cosmetics packings. And producers not for the sake of beauty write all this.
Generally, it was necessary to look for information on the website of L'Oreal and in network. Here what I understood:
Arginin – amino acid which is important for growth of cages. Bodybuilders and those who do fitness profoundly and know that such sports food can be well familiar with this amino acid. Dietary supplements with argininy are often described as necessary at construction of muscle bulk. Arginin carry to irreplaceable amino acids, that is he is developed by an organism, but for its active growth it is not enough and therefore we receive quantity necessary for us with food (arginin contains in such products as grain, nuts, meat, fish, cottage cheese and cheese). Bodybuilders accept arginin as it improves food of muscles, increases production of hormone of growth, reduces pressure and in general intensifies construction of muscles.
Why this substance to hair? Arginin is capable to get into structure of hair and to be fixed on sites which are strongly damaged, to fill them. Thus, the structure of hair improves, they become healthier, strong. That is, it turns out that this substance, mainly, is necessary for the injured hair: painted, splitting, processed by a chemical wave and so forth. But on packing it is told absolutely about another: "for weak, inclined to a hair loss". About "weak" hair I agree – they really need aminoxylots and proteins. And at loss the structure of hair does not need to be improved it seems – it is necessary to affect only roots of hair. But also there is a reasonable answer. The producer writes on the website that he arginin gets also into a hair follicle. And increasing microcirculation in it, promotes more accelerated growth of hair.
Well, there is enough theory, we start practice.
Packings and textures
Packings standard for L’Oreal, anything new. In textures too. White and nacreous structures, habitual for the brand, with recognizable lorealevsky aroma. It is not strong, pleasant. But you know that I thought. Perhaps it is already time for brand to release something transparent or blue, or pink? Very much faceless all these structures, any highlight.
In structures, except an arginin, still the protein is stated. Look, it is on the label. It is a good element for hair, it really strengthens hair and roots, feeds and stimulates growth.
But in the forefront shampoo not arginin and not protein, but surfactant (several types, including sulfates and bezsulfatny surfactant) and also polymer and silicone. Dimetikon (a type of silicone) in general on the third place – it means that there is a lot of this making heavier component in structure. What does it mean for hair – about it a bit later.
For now – it is a little about compositions of conditioner and a mask. In conditioner there is a protein, arginin, silicone. But there are and many moisturizing ingredients. However, it not oils, and so-called "film" humidifiers which do not humidify and just lock moisture on the surface of hair.
In a mask there are a lot of making heavier substances too: silicones, polymers, wax. Really there is a lot of them, all of them in the middle of the list of ingredients. It not really was pleasant to me. It is illusion of moistening and treatment, but not real effect which is reached by oils, vitamins, plant extracts.
What with hair?
What did I feel on hair? After the first applications, certainly, hair became silkier. As a part of so many silicone and polymers! Tips stopped being dry. But hair began to zhirnitsya very quickly. Nearly after several hours!I do not advise at all to apply at once both a mask, and shampoo and the conditioner – it turns hair into very heavy locks. There are also pluses - it is good gloss and the smoothing effect.
But after several use of all this wealth I wanted to have easier hair and not to wash them every day. After all, this series, most likely, for very dry and injured hair. About strengthening of roots it is difficult to tell, but here gloss and weight in hair appeared. Probably, it is also that "force" about which it is told by the producer. But such force is not really necessary to me – too pulls down, does not hold volume.
This series is not suitable for an oily and normal hair - it is my opinion. For dry and damaged will help precisely – because hair cease to be fluffy in different directions, lie one massif as dense and dense.
I put firm "four" of this series.
