Loreal Paris Smooth-Intense Anti-frizz Caring Shampoo
I’m bugged by the different permutations of Loreal’s shampoos, especially their Smooth-Intense line. I just can’t make out the subtle differences between this and Elseve, as well as the Vive Pro range that are probably of the same Smooth-Intense formulations with varying packaging based on region. Mine …

The thing I like …
