Is summer heat leaving your hair dry and frizzy? Sun, sweat, and humidity can zap moisture, which is sure to make strands dull and brittle. La’dor Hydro LPP Treatment is a K-beauty favourite that promises to hydrate, repair, and restore shine to heat-damaged hair with a lightweight, silicone-free formula.
I tested it for two weeks to see if it could tame summer hair woes. Want smooth, glossy locks? Here’s my honest take on this budget-friendly hair treatment!
First Impressions: Sleek and Practical
The La’dor Hydro LPP Treatment comes in a compact, white 150ml tube with a flip cap. It is perfect for tossing in your summer travel bag. The creamy, lightweight texture has a subtle, clean scent that’s not overpowering, unlike those heavy conditioners.

It’s also an affordable option for home or travel, and the tube’s design makes it easy to squeeze out just the right amount, a detail beauty communities appreciate for its practicality. It is available in larger 530ml sizes; the 150ml is great for trying it out.
Texture & Application: Smooth and Easy
The treatment’s creamy texture feels like a lightweight conditioner, spreading evenly through damp hair without leaving a greasy residue. After shampooing, I applied a walnut-sized amount from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding my oily roots, and left it on for 5 minutes during my shower.
For deeper repair, I tried it as a mask for 15 minutes with a towel wrap, as beauty fans suggest. It rinsed out cleanly, leaving my hair soft and tangle-free, with no residue, perfect for humid summer days.
Formula Breakdown: Nourishing and Gentle
The La’dor Hydro LPP Treatment is packed with ingredients to revive summer-stressed hair:
- Hydrolysed Collagen: Strengthens and smooths, reducing breakage and split ends.
- Jojoba & Olive Oils: Hydrate and add shine without weighing hair down.
- Panthenol: Boosts moisture and elasticity, ideal for heat-damaged strands.
- Carrot Root Extract: Nourishes the scalp with vitamins for a healthy appearance.
- Silicone-Free: Prevents buildup, keeping hair light and clean.
- Low pH (~5.5): Balances scalp and hair, reducing frizz and brittleness.
The formula is free of parabens, sulphates, and ethanol, making it gentle for all hair types, including colour-treated, based on skincare discussions.
Performance: Hydrates and Shines
Here’s how it performed over two weeks on my wavy, heat-styled hair:
- Hydration: 8/10. My dry ends felt softer and more moisturised after one use, staying smooth for days, a benefit beauty communities highlight.
- Shine: 9/10. Hair looked glossy and healthy, with a natural bounce, even in 90% humidity.
- Frizz Control: 7/10. Reduced frizz on humid days, though very curly hair may need extra styling products.
- Repair: Visibly smoother split ends after a week, especially with the mask method, aligning with feedback on its restorative effects.
- Summer Fit: Lightweight formula didn’t weigh down my hair, perfect for hot, sweaty days, and didn’t clog my scalp.
- Cons: Slight tackiness if over-applied, and results fade without consistent use (2–3 times weekly).
Social media buzz praises its ability to soften and add shine to damaged hair, though some note it’s less intensive for severely fried strands.
How to Use La’dor Hydro LPP Treatment for Summer Hair
- Step 1: Shampoo with a gentle cleanser (e.g., La’dor Keratin LPP Shampoo, ~$12) to prep hair.
- Step 2: Squeeze out excess water, then apply a small amount from mid-lengths to ends. Use sparingly on fine hair to avoid heaviness.
- Step 3: Leave on for 3–5 minutes as a conditioner or 10–15 minutes as a mask for deeper repair, using a towel or cap for heat.
- Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to avoid residue, then style as usual (air-dry or heat-protectant for blow-drying).
- Tip: Use 2–3 times weekly for best results. For extra hydration, apply to towel-dried hair and leave on longer, based on my tests.
