New at dollarama

If you're exploring affordable hair care options, the new Simile line at Dollarama is worth a try, especially their glycolic shine collection designed to enhance hair gloss and health. One standout is the gloss treatment, which contains fatty alcohols that deeply nourish and hydrate dry hair, along with fermented ingredients that soften strands—likely due to the amino acids they provide. The inclusion of cetrimonium chloride helps reduce static, making hair smoother and less frizzy, while aloe and light oils add conditioning benefits. The glycolic acid in the treatment plays a key role by gently exfoliating the scalp and promoting a radiant shine, similar to high-end products but at a bargain price. Plus, the 5-minute rinse-off formula makes it convenient for quick hair lamination. However, some users might find the lightweight oils and conditioning agents weigh their hair down, especially if hair is fine or prone to oiliness. The fragrance is also noticeable, which can be a pro or con depending on personal preference. Overall, this line provides an accessible option for those wanting to try glycolic acid in hair care without investing heavily. Pairing the serum with the UV protectant conditioner can help protect hair from sun damage while maintaining moisture and shine. I’ve found that when using such treatments consistently, hair feels softer and appears glossier over time. Just be mindful of your hair type to avoid heaviness, and consider washing frequency to keep hair fresh and bouncy.
