L'Oréal Professionnel Serié Expert Liss Unlimited Mask for Smooth & Frizz-Free Hair 500 ml/16.91 oz
The named ingredient is Polymer AR, and it does one job.
It wraps each fibre in a light anti-humidity shield, and that barrier is what stops damp air swelling the strand and lifting the cuticle. That swelling is frizz, mechanically speaking, so blocking it at the surface is the reason the smoothness survives past the front door. The mask itself is thick and creamy, so it conditions properly while it does the smoothing.
- Smooths coarse, unruly hair in a few minutes
- Anti-humidity shield around each fibre
- Glossy, soft finish without a coated feel
- 500 ml, which is the size to buy if this is your regular mask
Work it through damp hair after shampoo, leave it a couple of minutes and rinse well.
Worth knowing before you buy: a smoothing mask reduces volume as well as frizz. On hair that needs the body, keep it to the lengths and ends and stay well away from the roots.

Application tips
The tub is big enough to be generous with, and a smoothing mask rewards generosity: patchy coverage gives a patchy result, with half the head calm and the other half not.
Two to three minutes is enough and there is no benefit to leaving it longer. Rinse until the ends squeak slightly, then blot rather than rub. Rough towel-drying puts the frizz back before you have even reached the dryer.
Results
The anti-humidity barrier is the mechanism, and it shows up as smoothness that lasts past the front door on a damp day.
Coarse, unruly hair softens noticeably within one use and dries with far less lift. The finish is glossy without feeling coated, and blow-drying takes less time because there is less resistance to fight. Straight styles hold their shape into a third day.
Composition
- Polymer AR
- Wraps the fibre so damp air cannot swell it and lift frizz
