L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut Oil Reviews

I'm a daily hair oil/serum user. I have quite fine hair, but also dry due to colouring and styling - so oils are my 'must'.

I used this oil two ways and definitely favoured it as an overnight treatment!

Overnight Hair treatment. This was the winner for me, for three reasons. 1. I felt my hair was actually nourished and absorbed the oil, 2. The texture I was left sleeping with was soft and didn’t bother me, and 3. My hair was so soft and hydrated the next morning when styling

At bedtime I applied about 3 pumps of oil to my ends, avoiding my scalp. I didn’t find there was a scent which I was quite happy about. In the morning I’d wake up and my hair felt oily but not terrible, and I’d shampoo/condition like normal. Afterwards my hair definitely felt nourished and softer than if I’d just used the shampoo/conditioner.

As a Hair Serum I used the oil daily on towel dried hair and also used it as a finishing balm, and with both uses they worked really well. My hair was definitely smoother and there was less dry end frizz. It’s not a heavy oil, so a little oil as a finishing balm definitely tamed the fly-aways and gave a little shine. It absorbed through the day, leaving my hair feeling lovely and soft, and not oily. You only need a tiny smidge for smoothing hair after styling.

The overnight hair mask was definitely the big win with this oil, but it is also a fabulous serum for wet hair. There’s a lot of product to the bottle, for a reasonable price, so it’s definitely a winner if you’re looking for a product that you can use as a hair treatment and a serum.

I’ve touched on the packaging last, because this is just a personal preference thing and not reflective of the products performance at all. The oil bottle is glass and fairly dense/heavy. It’s very elegant though. It has a pump dispenser that is perfect for dispensing just the right amounts of product. Not too generous and you don’t fire it all over the bathroom either. However, with it being glass, I have experienced first hand that if you handle it with residual hair oil on your hands and it slips from your grip and you drop it to the floor, you hold your breath and hope for a good outcome. Thankfully it didn’t smash (still not sure how) - by design or maybe by luck. The tiles are intact. But I’m just not a fan of glass with a house full of tiled floors and I know that’s not on the right side of the environmental thing – and I feel the guilt, but smashed glass is bad too! It’s the only down side to this product.

I'd happily buy this oil above other brands as it delivers at a great price, I just wish it wasn't glass or I was less clumsy.

I am normally quite hesitant when trying hair oils as i always think they will make my hair oily or greasy, however I was willing to give this a try. This is an oil which comes in a glass bottle with a handy little pump, you only need a small amount of product to get the benefits- i found 2-3 pumps was plenty for my mid length hair. This product does have a slight coconut scent however it is not too powerful. After using this product my hair has been sooooo soft, smells amazing and it has definitely helped my hair not feel so dry which is a miracle in winter. It lives up to its claims as my hair is wayyy more nourished and is not weighed down. Would highly recommend for normal to dry hair like my own.

I used this daily on wet hair before drying my hair off. It leaves my hair feeling very soft and smooth and you don't need to use a lot to get this effect. It has a fabulous fragrance that I adore and it adds shine to my hair which I love. It is easy to use and has a pump type dispenser which saves wastage by dispensing a decent amount.

Loved this oil! I've never used a lot of oils in the past since they normally make my hair too oily. I was surprised that the directions only said to use 3-4 drops, rather than the usual 3-4 pumps. The formula is just so nourishing you only need the smallest amount. My hair is medium length and I found that one pump was the perfect amount, with enough left on my hands for any stray hairs around my hairline. I used it mostly after styling to smooth my ends and tame fly-aways. It smells amazing and found my hair didn't get oily, it only ever felt moisturised and sleek. This has already become my go-to finishing product and I am absolutely in love with how it makes my hair look.

I luckily obtained this hair oil as part of the set of Elvive Extraordinary Oil products from L’Oreal. It is comes in the standard pump bottle and is a clear oil, like a lotion in texture and thickness. As usual it took me a while to get the pump to work but once I did I was off and running.

The scent is remarkable – just gorgeous with a strong coconut undertone. I have shoulder length, dry hair, and I'm always on the lookout for good hair products and use heaps of them. I’ve used a lot of different oils and this one is definitely among the best. It says it is for weightless nutrition, satin shine, and perfect manageability. I’d say it meets that claim.

The directions say to rub 2 or 3 precious drops between the palms to warm the oil then apply evenly to the lengths and ends of wet or dry hair. I’ve been applying it to wet hair, as I prefer to use it that way. It makes my hair a little more conditioned at the ends and less inclined to frizz or fly-away. I feel that it is providing nutrition to the dry ends. It is very light and doesn’t leave my hair looking greasy.

My favourite oil is the L’Oreal Elvive extraordinary hair oil so it’s not surprise that I love this one so much as it is very similar.

At $19.99 for the 100ml bottle, I think this is a great buy. I will repurchase and recommend it to anyone who wants to improve the look and feel of their hair.

I’ve used many oil treatments over the years ,so was keen to see how this one performed . It didn’t quite deliver for me as well as others I have used before ,however price does come in to it and the others were more expensive . It did define my curls which is what I want ,but not as well as others and was a bit messy to use being an oil ,I actually prefer a cream . The pump I found a bit annoying at first but soon got the hang of it . As with all oils one has to be careful not to use too much ,or you end up with just greasy looking hair I’m not sure I would buy this product again ,I find the garnier one which is comparative in price slightly better . Again fragrance is over powering for me so that makes me less inclined to use it with the other products . However not too bad considering the RRP and I’m sure would work well for many .
