Shiny Times: L’Oréal Paris Vive Pro Glossy Curls Spray Gel (review)

Well it's officially holiday party time. It's actually officially past holiday party time, but I'm a little late to the…wait for it…party. (Sorry, had to do it.).

One of the things that makes me crazy is when I get my hair looking all nice and fancy; then I step out the door, drive to my destination, check my hair in the mirror, and wonder what the hay-uhl happened to my cute hairdo. Well, this has been happening a whole lot less lately because I stumbled on a fab, inexpensive hair product from the folks (or "gens" as the French would say…) at L’Oréal Paris.

Vive Pro Glossy Curls Spray Gel

Blurb: Vive Pro Glossy Style Glossy Curls Spray Gel defines and contours curls with a long-lasting hold and glossy shine.

I actually tried this by accident. I bought it without really looking at it and was using it to practice some scary costume hair. Only my hair refused to look scary. Instead of frizzy and hag-like, it looked all polished and glamorous. Whoa! So I smartened up and tried it out when I wanted to look nice. And I did look nice! This stuff keeps my hair in place, but it also makes my curls look soft, shiny, defined and bouncy. And there is hardly any build up! It also seems to work really well on wet hair too (I tried towel drying, spraying and scrunching; and got excellent results).

Check out the L’Oréal Paris website and enter the Big City Adventure Sweepstakes. You may also want to check the special offers page for coupons, promotions, etc. L’Oréal can be found at grocery stores, drugstores like CVS, duane reade and Walgreens, and sites like drugstore.com.

Have a Shiny Monday!
