By Isla Leah April 8, 2022 No Comments5 Mins Read
We have been closely following the results of a liquid conditioner that is triumphing on TikTok for some time now: Elvive Dream Long 'Wonder Water' (or 'Magic Water', the name with which it has arrived in Spain) from L'Oréal Paris. It is a conditioning treatment with a formula so liquid that it looks like water that has become famous for marking a before and after in the appearance of the hair. From the first day we learned of its existence, it caught our attention.
Everyone on TikTok said good things about him, in the US one is sold every minute and they even nickname it the new Olaplex and our friends from L'Oréal who had tried it were delighted. For this reason, when we found out that he was coming to Spain, we had to be the first to try it. And here we are.

What is Elvive Dream Long Wonder Water?
The new from L'Oreal Paris promises to leave hair soft, shiny and untangled in just eight seconds. According to the brand, its formula has been developed with a unique technology in the consumer market: the lamellar technology. With it it is possible to work intelligently to focus on the damaged areas.
Its liquid texture ensures that the hair does not weigh down. It's about a pure concentrate of conditioning agents (amino acids and proteins) They are activated when they come into contact with water.
The operation is simple. When these are activated, they coat the hair fiber creating ultra-fine sheets of conditioning agents only in the areas where your hair needs it. That is, the hair absorbs the right amount.
Its price? €7.95.

How to use Magic Water
You can use it as a normal conditioner or as an intermediate step between shampoo and conditioner up to three times a week..
The firm indicates that one dose should be used on fine hair, between two and three if you have thick or curly hair, and an additional one for extra-long hair. It should be applied from the middle to the ends, avoiding the scalp, making a zigzag movement with the nozzle and then massaging the hair.
To improve results, they recommend blow-drying your hair afterwards.
My opinion after trying it
My hair is curly and dry, so frizz and dullness are not unusual for it. Also, now I've fallen in love with the trendy nineties bleach and I have a blonde part.
Eliminates frizz completely but beware, it does not straighten.
I have used Elvive's magical water twice since receiving it and The first thing I would highlight is its untangling capacity. It's amazing. As you massage the conditioner in the shower, results are already noticeable, but when you leave and as it dries, the softness is impressive. Completely eliminates the need to use detangling spray.

This magical liquid eliminates frizz completely but beware, it does not straighten. And it adds volume, but makes the hair feel very light.
I decided to put it to the test in the most unfavorable conditions possible to be able to analyze it on its own and I always used it without another conditioner afterwards, letting the hair air dry and without using styling products. The result was very satisfactory for me, so I'm sure that using it with a dryer and conditioner would be amazing. This would ensure that the short hairs stick out less and the hair is straightened more.
It is a very easy to rinse product.. The hair takes what it needs and the rest goes easily. That greasy feeling that remains on certain occasions when we do not remove the conditioner well with Magic Water is unlikely.
I love his fruity smell and the speed It is another of its positive points. When it comes to hair routine sometimes I am a bit lazy and the less time the better. This Elvive product is perfect for that. With it you can forget about waiting the five minutes required.
You have to get used to its liquid texture.
Regarding its application, you have to get used to its liquid texture. At first it can give the feeling that you do not apply it well and waste it, although later this is not the case. Here it is appreciated that the bottle marks the amount of a dose and you can guide yourself.
Realizing that one bottle was only nine doses (four if you have curly hair), the only drawback would be that it doesn't spread too much. Although considering what it costs, I don't see a problem here. In addition, if it is used three times a week, the double dose recommended for curly hair could be dispensed with. I did it like this and it was enough for my hair.
The product was provided for testing by L'Oreal Paris. You can check our company relations policy for more information.
