Avon Lotus shield hair serum

glowgirl_2

I recently had a sample of this from the freebies board and thought it was an excellent product, I have just ordered some, some of you may remember that I am on a quest to stop using heat on my hair and love my curls instead of fighting them:DWell, I mixed a small amount of the product with my cheapo hair gel and it was a great success, no frizz, defined curls and no weight, problem is I have run out and it takes about a week to deliver:eek:I bought some frizz ease serum (similar ingredients) in the meantime, it was the purple one and it just dosent agree with my hair at all, its frizzy and lank at the same time:(

Heres a link to the Lotus Shield for those interested http://avonshop.co.uk/product/haircare/advance-techniques/advance-techniques-lotus-shield.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=avonshop_201011

Hi Glowgirl, I have a sample of this that my friend gave me from the recent Avon book. I don't usually bother with Avon products but this is brilliant I do agree. I used a bit of this the other day and its the first time my hair has behaved all day without any effort.

Do you use this every time you wash your hair? On the sample instructions it says it can be used just every two or three shampoos as it lasts inbetween but I did try washing my hair yesterday without using it and the effect wasn't the same so I feel it needs to be used every time.

I am going to order a big bottle now.

I received a free sample of this,but I haven't tried it yet.My hair has gone very dry and frizzy in this hot weather so I am hoping this product will help,it sounds good.

Its such a relief to find a product that just simply works, Citygirl1, I'm glad you like it and are happier with your hair, anniewoo, I found it an excellent product in this heat.

I used it each time I washed my hair but before I put the product in I could feel a difference the second time I washed my hair after using this so I put quite a bit less in, I think it would take a bit of experimenting and for me personally I have quite a frizz so I was very pleased.

Thanks for the feedback ladies. I'm an Avon lady & have not tried it or had any feedback - although I've been dishing out free samples, so this is good news. It's great to know it 'delivers'.

Yes its good to find something that works and doesnt cost the earth. Ive already asked my friend to order me a big bottle. Just another thing can this be used as a conditioner as its called a leave in treatment.

I would say no, I just washed and conditioned as normal and used the product as directed, I would think its a waste if you put in and then rinse it out as its a leave in product but it certainly helped the condition of my hair even after one use, hope it hurrys up and arrives now;)

Takes a bit of experimenting as to how much is best for your particular hair but it's a serum so you don't need much. They recommend about the size of a 10p coin to be applied to towel damp hair and then about half as much again when your hair is dry i.e. if you have any small 'sticky out' bits. I found that it got better the 2nd time but it took three goes to really have the given effect. (Guess my hair must be realllly strong!)

Glad others are finding it helps. Unbelievably I was in Truro on Friday handing out free samples and people were refusing them! :eek: Just can't help some people, eh?

Oh, to anyone desperate for a bottle rather than just a trial sachet you may find that your local Avon rep has some in stock. They did encourage reps to stock up on this before it was actually available to buy in our different areas. If you don't know your local rep, think you can ask via the Avon website and/or there's a great thread on here 'Avon Hints and Tips' that a lot of reps subscribe to so someone on that thread may be able to help.

Thanks, Joyfull, for the link. :T

I didnt get 3 applications out of my sample more like two and a half and the half didnt have the desired effect, I particularly liked this product because it didnt way my hair down but did calm it very effectivley, I wish I lived somewhere where they were handing out samples;)

Thanks for the feedback - I put the whole sachet on the first time (thought it was never going to dry and I was going to have to wash it out!) All reps were issued with some free samples; why not ask her for another one?;)
