This is the BEST shampoo and conditioner for long hair

Trust us. - by Milly Haddrick
  • 23 Oct 2019

If you a) currently have long hair and wish to protect its lusciousness at all costs, or b) want to grow out your hair while maintaining that sheen of health, you have come to the right place.

Watch as Kim Kardashian masters the hair transformation of our DREAMS!

As any girl who has desperately tried to grow out her hair past the shoulders would know, the longer you hold off going to the hairdresser for a trim, the worse those split ends will become. When it comes to hair 101, the simple fact is that the longer your hair gets, the more it goes through and the more damaged it will become.

Which is why, if you want to keep your hair both long and healthy, you have to choose products that will detangle your hair, so you avoid breakage while also nourishing your ends.

Enter your new favourite shampoo and conditioner. 

Dream Lengths by L'Oréal already has a darn good reputation and, after hearing that it sold in record numbers across Europe, with claims that it reduced split ends by 50 per cent, I personally was very keen to give it a try. So I decided to road test it for two weeks and see how effective it really is.

As someone who has always had boob-length hair that is so fine and prone to knots and damage, this product was truly a godsend.

I'm not playing with you, it is ah-MAZING. 

The first thing I noticed was the gorgeous scent. I DESPISE shampoos and conditioners that smell too strong, but I also like my hair to smell nice, so the soft peachy scent was a much-welcome surprise. 

Now let's get into the nitty-gritty.

After the first wash, my hair really did feel cleaner AND softer. 

But as I kept washing my hair I started seeing real results in the split ends department. Those babies were hydrated AF. 

I can safely say that after the first few weeks of using Dream Lengths, I definitely saw less breakage and hair floating around, which I am ~ extremely ~ grateful for. Plus, when I walk around now I feel like I'm in a shampoo ad.

So what's in it? 

The product has three main ingredients: castor oil, vegetal keratin and vitamins PP and B5. 

In the beauty world, castor oil has (hands down) become the most popular ingredient of choice when it comes to remedies for long hair. This is because it’s rich in omega-9 fatty acids, which all work to protect and strengthen your hair. 

Vegetal keratin is very close to the natural main constituents of hair, which means that if you want to grow out your hair, its amino acid content compensates for the loss of keratin on the lengths and tips to repair damaged fibres. 

The Verdict! 

If you have long hair, or want to have long hair, you have to use products that are going to keep your hair from breaking so you can last a little longer between trips to the hairdresser. 

I can safely say Dream Lengths is one of the best products I have used for my hair so far. My hair is definitely shinier and much healthier. I’m sold!

The routine

Go treat yourself to a bottle of L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths shampoo ($7.99) followed by their conditioner (also $7.99). 

And if you are after some extra care for your split ends, go get yourself the Dream Lengths No Haircut Cream ($11.95) - you won't regret it.
