Schwarzkopf BC Oil Miracle Light Finishing Treatment

I didn't want to repurchase Klas hair silicone because they really weigh my hair down, L'Oreal Mythic Oil isn't available in Bosnia (boo hoo) and I didn't want to spend much money on their Elvive Extraordinary Oil Miracle Hair Perfector because the reviews aren't in its favor (Hunger Games?). There were millions of bottles of Italian hair crystals on the shelves on sale and while they really are decent I wanted to be a bit more adventurous. I have finished my search in front of the Schwarzkopf hair products shelf. They have the best hair products (at least for my hair) and I've used tons of their BC Bonacure products in the past but I've wondered off somewhere along the way for some reason. My eyes were fixated on gorgeous bottles of Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Oil Miracle Light Finishing Treatment and as if it was by fate, my wallet was empty but I had a huge grin on my face on the way out. There are two types of this Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Oil. First one is the “original” formulation for normal and thick hair and the other formulation (the one I have) is for fine to normal hair types. The choice was obvious for me because my hair is the furthest thing from thick but was is the right choice? 

Nisam htjela ponovo kupovati Klas silikone za kosu posto mi previse otezavaju kosu, u BiH nam uopste nije doslo L'Oreal Mythic Oil (uaaaaaaa uvoznici) a nije mi se trosilo 20KM na njihov Elvive Extraordinary Oil Miracle Hair Perfector posto mu recenzije nisu naklonjene. Mogla sam birati izmedju bezbroj bocica italijanskih kristala za kosu sa polica koji su jos bili i snizeni na neku smijesnu cijenu. Iako su mi se pokazali kao sasvim solidni htjela sam da malo rizikujem. Moja potraga se zavrsila ispred police sa Schwarzkopf proizvodima. Oni su se pokazali kao najbolji izbor za moju kosu i prije sam koristila tone njihovih BC Bonacure proizvoda ali sam iz nekog razloga odlutala od njih. Oci su mi se zalijepile na lijepe bocice Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Oil Miracle Light Finishing Treatment-a te kao da je sudbina umijesala svoje prstice, za par sekundi moj novcanik je zjapio a ja nisam mogla skinuti osmijeh sa lica dok sam zadovoljno krenula kuci. Postoje dvije vrste ovog Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure ulja za kosu. Prvo je “originalna” formulacija za normalnu do gustu kosu dok je druga formulacija (ona koju ja imam) namijenjena za tanku do normalnu kosu. Mislim da je moj izbor ocigledan s tim da je moja kosa nesto najdalje od guste ali da li sam ispravo odabrala?

The most basic things you need to know about this hair oil is that it promises brilliant shine, softness and elasticity without overburdening your hair. Familiar? The thing I hate about hair oils is that they usually do a great job of smoothing but because my hair is on the fine side of strands, they weigh it down terribly and make my hair more greasy than it already is. That is the reason why I picked up the light version of this oil. It does contain Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil which is a fancy name for sunflower oil. Light-weight, low-fat oil naturally rich in vitamin E it is commonly used as an emollient to soften and retain moisture without leaving an oily residue. I like how this is consistent with the claims of this oil. It also contains Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil which is another fancy name, this time for marula oil which is called the new “miracle oil” in the beauty industry. Regarding hair care, it's used especially for dry, damaged and fragile hair.

Osnovne stvari koje trebate znati o ovom ulju su da obecava divan sjaj, mekocu i elasticnost kose bez otezavanja. Poznato? Ono sto stvarno ne volim kod ulja za kosu je to sto mi najcesce budu super po pitanju zagladjivanja ali posto su vlasi moje kose dosta tanke, previse mi ih otezaju te mi kosa izgleda dodatno masno. Iz tog razloga sam odabrala light verziju ovog ulja. Sadrzi Helianthus Annuus ulje kostice sto je naucni naziv za suncokretovo ulje. Lagano, relativno nemasno ulje koje je bogato vitaminom E se koristi jer se ponasa kao emolijens i omeksava te zadrzava vlaznost a da pri tome ne ostavlja masni trag. Dopada mi se sto se ovo poklapa sa tvrdnjama iz Schwarzkopf-a. Takodjer sadrzi Sclerocarya Birrea ulje kostice sto je jos jedan naucni naziv ali za marula ulje. To ulje nazivaju cudesnim u kozmetickoj industriji a konkretno po pitanju njege kose koristi se posebno za suhu, ostecenu i krhku/ lomljivu kosu.

You can use it on damp hair and/ or dry hair without any worry because it's the lightest hair oil I've ever tried. I think that even the oiliest and thinnest hair strands will show you much love if you use it on them. It absorbs incredibly quickly I sometimes forget that this is a oil in the first place. It has this light, serum-like consistency. It isn't wattery but it is very, very light. The bottle makes it look yellow but it doesn't have any significant coloring itself. It doesn't contain any shimmering particles either (in case you were randomly wondering). It's amazingly light and I seriously doubt that there's the slightest chance of overdoing it with this hair oil. My hair sucks it in withing seconds and it doesn't leave any sticky residue on my hair and neither on my hands. I think that it's the best hair oil for fine hair and I appreciate that the instructions weren't misleading. However, if you have a combo of oily roots and dry ends or generally dry, frizzy ends I think that this will not be enough to tame your hair.

Ovo ulje za kosu mozete koristiti na peskirom prosusenu kosu i/ili na suhu kosu bez bilo kakve brige jer je ovo najlakse, najnemasnije ulje za kosu koje sam ikada isprobala. Cak ce i najtanje vlasi kose biti vam beskrajno zahvalne na njezi ako ga budete koristili. Nevjerovatno se brzo upija u kosu da uopste zaboravim da je ovdje rijec o ulju. Lagane je konzistencije, poput seruma. Uopste nije vodenasto ali je dosta, dosta lagano i relativno rijetko. Zbog bocice djeluje da je zute boje medjutim nije obojeno, prozirno je. Ne sadrzi niti bilo kakve sljokicaste cestice (ako se netko od vas slucajno zapitao). Stvarno je nevjerovatno lagano i ozbiljno sumnjam da bi uopste bilo moguce nanijeti ga previse na kosu. Moja kosa ga popije u par sekundi a za sobom ne ostavlja ljepljiv, masan trag niti na kosi a niti na rukama nakon koristenja. Mislim da je ovo najbolji izbor ulja za tanku kosu i stvarno mi je laknulo sto je opis proizvoda korektan. Ipak, ako na glavi imate kombinaciju masnog tjemena i jako suhih krajeva te uopste jako suhih krajeva, mislim da vam ovo ulje nece biti dovoljna njega.

I definitely think that the richer version of this oil intended for normal to thick hair would be perfect for really dry hair. I say this because, besides absolutely loving this hair oil, it wasn't rich enough to tame every single flyaway. I know, I know. Women are hard to satisfy and I should be over the moon for finding the one hair oil that doesn't make my hair heavy or oily but I'd like it to nourish my ends just a tad more. Just a little bit. Now, I'm not sure what I'll do next after I use it up (I do go throught this 100ml bottle unusually fast btw). Will I repurchase it or try my chances with the version for thick hair? Oh, while I'm mentioning the one for thick hair I must not forget to make a comparison. I simply cannot resist comparing it to another Schwarzkopf hair oil I have and with which you probably are more familiar with. Gliss Kur Daily Oil Elixir for very damaged, dry hair is similar to this Light Finishing Treatment in so many ways yet differs in others which I suppose do make it closer to the Bonacure oil for thick hair types. Light Bonacure oil and Gliss Kur oil smell almost the same. Still the Gliss Kur oil has a more potent scent. Bonacure oil's scent is much more delicate. Their consistency really differs because Bonacure oil has a light serum-like consistency while Gliss Kur is noticeably thicker. I have a feeling that Gliss Kur oil is very, very similar to the Bonacure oil for thick hair.

Mislim da je bogatija varijanta ovog ulja koja je i namijenjena normalnoj i gustoj kosi puno bolji izbor za suhu kosu. Ovo vam pisem zato sto, pored cinjenice da sam se zaljubila u ovo ulje, nije mi bilo dovoljno hranljivo u smislu da mi nije potpuno ukrotilo naelektrisanost kose. Znam, znam. Nama zenama nikako ugoditi i iako bih trebala biti presretna sto sam napokon nasla jedino ulje koje mi uopste ne otezava niti masti kosu, ja bih strasno voljela da je barem malo hranljivije za krajeve. Barem mrvicu. Ne znam sto cu uciniti kada ga istrosim (da dodam da ga prilicno brzo trosim). Da li cu ga ponovo kupiti ili isprobati srecu sa verzijom za gustu kosu? I da, dok mi je jos svjeze, ne smijem zaboraviti poredjenje. Ne mogu odoliti da ne usporedim ovo ulje sa jos jednim Schwarzkopf uljem za kosu koje vam je sigurno poznatije. Gliss Kur Daily Oil Elixir za ostecenu, suhu kosu je u nekim stvarima slican ovom laganom ulju dok je u ostalim drugaciji od njega i toliko blizi Bonacure ulju za gustu kosu. Lagana varijanta ulja i Gliss Kur ulje mirisu dosta slicno ipak je Gliss Kur nesto jaceg, agresivnijeg mirisa dok je lagano Bonacure ulje dosta njeznije. Konzistencija im je dosta razlicita. Lagano ulje je poput seruma dok je Gliss Kur znatno gusce. Imam osjecaj da je Gliss Kur jako slicno onoj varijantni Bonacure ulja za gustu kosu.

One more detail about the Light oil for fine hair. This hair oil works in the most genious way, playing with the aforemetioned botanical oils. The “Schwarzkopf Evaporating Technology” which is a mixture of a carrier oil and a precious botanical oil spreads extremely finely to ensure that the botanical oil is dispersed properly, and then evaporates completely when drying to leave an ultra-light layer of precious oil on the hair. This is not a gimmick because when I've applied a small amount of this oil on my hand to take this picture I forgot about it and it sayed on my hand for a few minutes without any rubbing. I noticed that there was this light, whitish film left on the place I applied the oil. So there you have it, the “Schwarzkopf Evaporating Technology” is not a marketing lie, it really does evaporate and only a light layer of botanical oils are left. You get 100ml of Bonacure oil and 75ml of Gliss Kur oil but the price difference is staggering. I've seen Bonacure Oil cost around 30$ online which is ridiculously expensive and I feel lucky that I've paid “only” 12$ for it (it was available for a lower price but the regular price is also much lower than the 30$ price tag online). Gliss Kur costs approx 12$ as well on sale in out drugstores. 

Jos jedan detalj vezano za lagano ulje je sto radi na stvarno genijalan nacin. U igri su vec spomenuta biljna ulja. Tzv. “Schwarzkopf Evaporating Technology” koja je mjesavina noseceg i dragocjenih biljnih ulja se fino nanosi na kosu i tu je da osigura da su biljna ulja ravnomjerno nanesena. Potom to nosece ulje isparava i tako na kosi ostaje ultra tanak sloj dragocjenih ulja na kosi. Mislim da ovo nije marketinski trik jer nakon sto sam stavila malo ulja na ruku kada sam poslikala ovu sliku, skroz sam na njega zaboravila i nisam ga razmazala niti obrisala. Stajalo je tu nekih par minuta nakon cega sam primjetila da je na mjestu gdje je bilo ulje ostalo tanak bjelkast sloj. I stvarno, ta njihova tehnologija nije trik nego uistinu ispari nakon cega ostaje taj sloj biljnih ulja. Dobijete 100ml ovog laganog ulja u pakovanju a za usporedbu, Gliss kur ulje dolazi u bocici od 75ml. Ono sto mi je sokantno je razlika u cijeni kod nas i vani. Vidjela sam da ako bi kupovali online ovo Bonacure ulje, cijena se krece oko 30$ sto je bezobrazno skupo i ne mogu a da se ne osjecam kako sam dobro prosla. Ja sam ga na snizenju platila 18KM (iako mu je i puna cijena oko 20-25KM sto je opet mnogo manje od 30$). I Gliss Kur ulje vam u dm-u kosta oko 18KM dok mislim da je u cm-u na akciji cca 12KM.
