Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5-Min Mask
I have been so lucky to test Redken's "Acidic Bonding Concentrate" series. This is the treatment in the series, and the bottle states that you should use it once a week. The consistency is a bit creamier and runnier than the conditioner, and it looks almost glossy/shimmery when you take it in your hand (without there actually being mica or glitter in it). It has a whopping 16% Bonding Care Complex, so expectations were high. Even though I rinsed my hair well, my hair felt greasy and heavy as soon as it dried naturally. This surprised me a lot since I have fully bleached and very damaged hair. The second time I used it, however, I was more careful with the amount and rinsed it out even better, and got a lovely result. Be careful not to make the mistake of using conditioner before the treatment! If you use conditioner before the treatment, you close the cuticles of the hair strands, and since the molecules in the mask are smaller than in the conditioner, they won't be able to penetrate to treat the hair strand. Then you lose the full effect of the treatment. Something I must mention, since the products contain AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), it states on the bottle that the product may increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. So if you use this regularly, it is actually wise to protect the scalp 🧢 Another thing to know is that Redken's "Bonding Care Complex" series is a combination of acidic pH (citric acid) + nourishing/sealing ingredients. So you don't need to use shampoo + conditioner/treatment together to "activate" anything. They enhance each other in the series, but it's not like the shampoo is necessary to create the bonds to the conditioner, as you would do in e.g. plex products. #LYKOINFLUTESTER #REDKEN1 product in post Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5-Min Mask181 viewsto leave a comment - 2 daysRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Acidic Bonding Concentrate Conditioner
I have been so lucky to test Redken's "Acidic Bonding Concentrate" line. And I must start by saying that this actually surprised me! Here we are talking about a thick consistency of the conditioner, almost a bit of a "rich cream" feel. It glides nicely through the hair and detangled my hair well in the shower. I recommend squeezing out as much water as possible before applying it, so the product doesn't get diluted and you achieve maximum effect. But watch the amount, as it can feel a bit heavy. This contains 11% Bonding Care Complex, and I feel that my hair actually becomes softer and more manageable afterwards. The only problem I have is that the bottle is made of hard plastic, so the product is a bit tricky to get out - if the bottle isn't standing up/down in the shower. Still, I like the result: my hair feels clean and smoother. For my fully bleached hair, it worked just fine! 🥰 Something I must mention, since the products contain AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), it says on the back of the bottle that the product can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun.

Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo
I have been so lucky to test Redken's "Acidic Bonding Concentrate" line. And I must start by saying that this actually surprised me! Even though it is sulfate-free, it lathers really well – even without a pre-wash🫧 It emulsifies easily, even when the hair is dirty, and gives that clean feeling without stripping the hair completely. The consistency is nice and easy to work with, and I appreciate that the bottle is made from 96% recycled material ♻️. It contains 7% Bonding Care Complex, which is supposed to strengthen and protect your hair. I have fully bleached, damaged hair, and I notice that it gives a good start before the conditioner/mask. This line is recommended for those who have treated hair (bleached, heat-treated, etc.) Something I must mention, since the products contain AHA (alpha hydroxy acid), it states on the bottle that the product can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun.

Glaze drops
I was really looking forward to testing the Glaze Drops hair oil from Kérastase. I have long bleached hair that has needed a lot of extra attention due to a stressful exam period. My hair has just been twisted up in a bun during this time. My hair quality has therefore been really poor. Lots of broken hair strands, worn lengths, and tangles. It was also very stiff, dull, and lifeless, combined with an extreme amount of frizz. This hair oil combined with the shampoo, conditioner, and glaze milk from Kérastase's Gloss Absolu series has been a saving grace sent straight from LYKO 🧡 it has truly saved my hair. The hair oil smells SO good! It has a mild citrus-floral scent that is extremely fresh and pleasant. It comes in a stylish glass container with a pipette top that makes it easy to dose the amount of product. I applied it to towel-dried hair before blow-drying, but also a little after blow-drying for extra shine and moisture. The result was significantly less frizz, shinier and more lustrous hair, and it feels soft without feeling weighed down or greasy. Highly recommended! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #KERASTASE1 product in post Glaze drops896 viewsto leave a comment - 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Gloss Absolu Glaze Milk
I was really looking forward to trying this anti-frizz glaze milk from Kérastase. I have long bleached hair that has needed extra attention due to a stressful exam period. My hair has just been twisted up in a bun during this time. My hair quality has therefore been really bad. Lots of broken hair strands, damaged lengths, and tangles. It was also very stiff, dull, and lifeless, combined with an extreme amount of frizz. This glaze milk combined with the shampoo, conditioner, and glaze drops from Kérastase has been a saving grace sent straight from LYKO 🧡 it has truly saved my hair. The glaze milk smells SO good! It has a mild citrus-floral scent that is extremely fresh and pleasant. It comes in a lovely spray bottle that has a smart feature where you can lock the bottle head. This way, you can easily pack it down, e.g., when traveling, without being afraid of spills. Apply it to damp/towel-dried hair before blow-drying, as it is also heat-protective 🧡 It has a milk-like texture that easily detangles knots and makes it easy to comb through the hair before and after blow-drying. The result was significantly less frizz, shinier, more lustrous, and the hair feels soft without feeling weighed down or sticky. Highly recommended! #LYKOINFLUTESTER #KERASTASE1 product in post Gloss Absolu Glaze Milk864 viewsto leave a comment - 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare
Gloss absolu balm
I was really looking forward to trying this balm from Kérastase. I have long bleached hair that has been desperately needing extra attention due to a stressful exam period. My hair has just been twisted up in a bun during this time. My hair quality has therefore been really poor because of this. Lots of broken hair strands and worn lengths. It was also very stiff, dull, and lifeless, combined with an extreme amount of frizz. This balm combined with the shampoo, glaze milk, and glaze drops from Kérastase has been a saving grace sent straight from LYKO 🧡 it has really saved my hair. The balm smells SO good! It has a mild citrus-floral scent that is extremely fresh and pleasant. Tip! Always make sure to squeeze out as much water from your hair as possible before adding balm, this is to avoid diluting the product. You will feel the difference. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing out. The balm has a softer creamy texture, not the typical «thick-balm-texture», but it does its job! My hair is shinier, has significantly less frizz, it feels lovely and soft without feeling weighed down. And my scalp feels clean and fresh. Highly recommended! When it comes to the price, my stance is: my hair defines me and my look. Therefore, my hair has the biggest budget, as I believe quality products for hair are worth the money. The products also look fantastic in the shower 🧡 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #KERASTASE1 product in post Gloss absolu balm713 viewsto leave a comment - 3 monthsRating: 5 out of 5Verifierad testare

Crunch Body Scrub
I have been so lucky to test Estelle&Thild's blossom crunch body 🌸 I had completely forgotten how lovely the skin feels after using a body scrub, as it has actually been years since I last used one. So WOW! You get rid of so many dead skin cells, which in turn increases your skin's absorption ability - feel free to pair it with the corresponding body cream for super soft skin 🤩 now I can’t do anything but lie and kick in bed to feel how lovely and soft my legs are 😂 woops! 🤭 The scrub smells so good!! It has a slightly stronger scent than the corresponding body cream, and it contains perfume and a couple of citrus extracts/oils 🍊🍋 which can be an irritant for those with very sensitive skin. BUT, scrubs are a wash-off product - so the product will only be on your skin for a short time 🧡 Still, it will leave your skin so lovely and soft 🧡 as it also contains hydrating and soothing ingredients. The scrub comes in a cute jar at a very nice price 🧡🌸 highly recommended #LYKOINFLUTESTER #ESTELLETHILD1 product in post Crunch Body Scrub309 viewsto leave a comment - 5 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Blossom Souffle Body
I have been so lucky to test Estelle&Thild's blossom souffle body cream 🌸 The cream has a light and fine texture that provides intense moisture, and it absorbs in a quick and pleasant way 🧡 so it doesn't feel sticky. The skin feels so good and soft after it has absorbed. It also has a mild and fresh scent. The cream contains lots of hydrating and anti-aging ingredients 🧡 plus some that will feel soothing. It contains perfume and a couple of citrus extracts/oils 🍊🍋 that may be an irritant for those with very sensitive skin. I have never had any issues with such ingredients, and I have nothing against it since the product is meant to be used on the body. The cream is economical in use and comes in a cute jar at a nice price 🧡🌸 recommended #LYKOINFLUTESTER #ESTELLETHILD1 product in post Blossom Souffle Body463 viewsto leave a comment - 5 monthsRating: 4 out of 5Verifierad testare
Hydrating Conditioner
I got to test LYKOs Hydrating Conditioner. And I would say I'm very satisfied 💧💙 I have quite thick hair, and I bleach it about 3 times a year. So I can't use just any hair products. This one did its job, and my hair was very satisfied! 💈 Tip: Always remember to squeeze out as much water as possible from your hair before applying a conditioner/hair mask 💧 This is to avoid diluting the product so that you achieve the best possible result. It has a very nice fresh scent, and my hair feels soft after use. The conditioner has a thick and nice consistency. Even though I love the design of the bottle, it feels a bit awkward to use. It's not necessarily easy to get the product out of the bottle since the plastic of the bottle is a bit hard, and the product is thick in consistency. Otherwise, it has a nice price, and I absolutely can't complain about this 💙 #LYKOINFLUTESTER #BYLYKO1 product in post Hydrating Conditioner733 viewsto leave a comment
