What the gurus are saying

This shampoo earns praise for leaving hair soft, manageable, and glossy, with one dermatologist naming it among her favorite products of 2024. However, experts split on the ingredient list: while some gurus appreciate the formula, another dermatologist flags that it contains methyl isothiazolinone, a preservative that may concern those with sensitive scalps or a preference to avoid it. Those with fragile or damaged hair may want to patch-test first.

"The first shampoo is L'Oreal EverPure Bond Strengthening Shampoo. This is actually one of my favorite products from 2024, and this Bond Strengthening line from L'Oreal contains the shampoo, conditioner, as well as a pre-shampoo concentrate that all contains various concentrations of citric acid, which is kind of their bond building complex. But of all the products in this line, I got to tell you the shampoo is actually my personal favorite."

"I've used these, the shampoo and the conditioner. I have this but I haven't used it. The shampoo and the conditioner were fine for my hair but they the shampoo has methyl isothiazolinone in it so I don't recommend these."

So Many Empties 🗑 Skincare And Hair Care I Used Up 2023
"It did leave my hair soft, manageable, glossy. I really liked them if I'm being honest. No residue was left on my hair. The fragrance is very strong, not my preference in terms of the scent. It's kind of very perfumey and it does linger. I can't really speak to the efficacy of the bond repair technology since I don't have color treated or chemically processed hair. Still, I wouldn't recommend regardless because of that problematic preservative family."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.
