L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Rapid Reviver Deep Conditioner

The L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Rapid Reviver Deep Conditioner is the intensive weekly treatment in the TR5 system for severely damaged hair that needs more than daily conditioning can provide. Concentrated Ceramide and Keratin actives deliver a high-dose repair treatment in just 1 to 3 minutes, faster than a standard hair mask. Clinically proven to deliver 2x more repair and 2x less breakage. Use once or twice a week in place of the regular TR5 Conditioner for the most damaged hair sections. Part of the L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 system.

For the Total Repair 5 Conditioner used as the daily conditioning step between weekly Rapid Reviver sessions, a daily repair conditioner maintains the repair work between each weekly Rapid Reviver treatment.

Q1. How is this different from the regular TR5 Conditioner?

Higher concentrated dose for weekly intensive repair, not daily maintenance. The regular conditioner is for every wash. The Rapid Reviver is the weekly boost for hair that needs more than daily conditioning provides. For the EO Conditioner that nourishes dry damaged hair as an alternative on non-Rapid Reviver wash days, a oil nourishing conditioner nourishes dry hair on the wash days between intensive Rapid Reviver treatments.

Q2. Can I use this at every wash instead of the regular conditioner?

Not necessary and less economical. Daily washes: use the TR5 Restoring Conditioner. Reserve this for once or twice weekly intensive sessions. For the GG Conditioner that also works as an occasional intensive treatment for shine on the same wash routine, a gloss treatment conditioner provides a gloss-intensive session on the wash days alongside this repair-intensive treatment.

Q3. How long should I leave this on?

1 to 3 minutes delivers the full repair benefit. For severely damaged hair, up to 5 to 10 minutes under a warm towel provides extra penetration. The primary repair dose is delivered within 3 minutes. For the DL No Haircut Cream that also provides continued protection after rinsing, a leave-in end protection cream continues sealing and protecting ends after this treatment is rinsed.

Q4. Is this a hair mask?

Functionally yes. It performs the same role as a weekly intensive hair mask but achieves comparable results in 1 to 3 minutes versus the 5 to 30 minutes of a standard mask. It can replace a weekly hair mask in any routine. For the FR Conditioner that strengthens fragile hair between Rapid Reviver sessions, a anti-hairfall conditioner maintains anti-hairfall protection on the daily wash days between weekly Rapid Reviver sessions.

Q5. Which hair types benefit most from this treatment?

Bleached, coloured, or chemically straightened hair. Heavily heat-damaged hair. Hair showing multiple damage signs simultaneously. Hair that has not improved enough with regular conditioning alone. For the DL Conditioner that also intensively nourishes depleted long hair on weekly deep treatment days, a length nourishing conditioner combines with this treatment for long damaged Indian hair needing both intensive repair and detangling.
