Remember how we were dubious about the effects of Olaplex on Melissa’s long and “healthy” hair? I was equally skeptical of the results of a L’Oreal Professional SerieExpert Powermix treatment on my balayaged bob. Sure, I could use a blowout – but for the most part my hair holds it’s own.

Blog research calls and I made an appointment to test drive the treatments with Bubbles Reston Salon Leader Maryam Unterkofler. She assured me I’d be impressed and after a thorough consultation  recommended we try SerieExpert Powermix COLOR.

A quick glance at the bottle promised softness, instant shine and an all around enhanced appearance thanks to a precise dose of Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5 to “magnify and protect the beauty of colored hair.”

After a super relaxing shampoo and conditioner (I may have drooled a little), Maryam measured a dose of Powermix COLOR and blended it with the Powermix BASE (chock full of nutritive lipids, BTW). She applied the frothy blend to my damp hair (OMG – it smells delicious) and instructed me to play Candy Crush for 5 minutes.

Back at her chair, Maryam treated me to one of her famously fantastic blowouts. Even with her mad round brush skills, my hair was bouncier than I’d remembered. The Powermix COLOR treatment imparted a mind blowing level of shine — my 5 week old balayage looked brand spanking new!

If intense shine isn’t your end game, the Loreal SerieExpert Powermix system features 5 additives that can be customized and mixed together to address your specific hair type and concerns:

Best part? These L’Oreal Professional Serie Expert Powermix treatments are quick (only 5 minutes at the shampoo bowl) and affordable ($20). A small price to pay for “unprecedentedly soft hair magnified by a flash of shine.”
