Silky smooth??

This product was not exactly what i was expecting, It feels more like cooking oil crossed with lubricant in my hands. Its smells a bit funky (But i don't like the smell of argan oil). I didn't like the feel of it in my hair, Made me feel unclean and un washed. I found it made my hair sticky after 3 or so hours. I have tried many different methods of using it but i really dont like it.

Tips: .

I found this at first to but I found if I put only one pump in my hair and only when it was wet (and just the ends) it felt great :)

Sadly didnt live up to claims

I am a huge fan of Argan oil products and L'Oreal products. Hair is a unique thing what works for some doesn't always work for others. Sadly this didn't make any noticeable difference to my hair other than fragrance. However it did not make my hair greasy, so perhaps a low level of silicone in the product?

While I am always dubious of anti Frizz claims I had hoped for some nourishment to my very dry hair.

Possibly a better product for not so dry hair. It is priced attractively aswell

Tips: Needs to be applied to damp hair.

Not for me

Unfortunately this did nothing for my hair at all. I have long hair and get a bit of frizz so was very excited to try this, I used it for a week straight tying different amounts everyday to see if it made any difference but nope, just not for me, have read a lot of good reviews on it so give it a go and see if it suits you hair type.

Not so Sure about Anti-Frizz Serum

I have used is product from the time it arrived to my door until today and I have to say that I have used other Anti-Frizz Serum products that were more effective than this product. I have not rated it very high and would not buy this product from the shops or recommend it to a friend. I found that the Serum did not keep the frizz away for even half a day. This Serum did not work for me, and I suggest that you have to try for yourself, but I will not be using this product again. I will have to keep trying to find an Anti-Frizz serum that will work for me.

A no go for me

I have thick frizzy hair at times and purchased this product to combat the frizz. This was going to be a cheaper alternative to buying moroccan oil. Unfortunately this product when it dried made my hair frizzer. I spoke to hairdressers about this and they said that it was water based. I do not know how correct this is but it definitely did not help me with fly aways and frizz. I think my hair was too thick and dry for this product.

Ok but wouldn't buy

I have naturally curly hair and while this product did reduce the frizz it left my hair limp and killed the curl. I did use it on on my hair after it had been straightened and ir smoothed the frizz but as I wear my hair curly 90% of the time I wouldn't buy this as it doesn't suit my hair at all.

Tips: Start with a little bit of product and build from there as too much will leave your hair greasy.

L'oreal Elvive Smoothing, Shine for Straight Hair

I bought a bottle of this long time ago. I had a lot of static and frizz so I wondered if this would help smooth things. What I do like about this is that it does help smooth and tame fly aways. When I do straighten my hair a tiny amount adds a nice sheen. If I apply a bit on wet hair after washing my hair dries a bit straighter. The pump can be locked at the top so you don't have to worry about a mess in your drawer or bag. Also because a little goes a really, really long way you a bottle will last you ages. The cons of this product are that it's easy to over apply. Some hair oils or serums you reapply the next day or the day after if your hair is dry. This serum weights down your hair so while this is good for fly aways it can make your hair look greasy and limp. It's best suited to straight hair styles where a nice shine in the lengths look good, but if you are styling your hair with volume and waves or curls this will weigh it down. Some hair oils and serums you can use for both hairstyles to add shine, but this doesn't have that versatility since it weighs down hair. You can use this to tame fly aways but only on the mid lengths of your hair as if you put it any farther up your hair will look greasy. I also don't recommend putting applying to dry hair unless you just straightened it. So overall while this is a good product for straight hair styles it seems to lack that versatility that some other hair oils and serums I've used have. I can't recommend this for short shoulder length hair since it would make your hair look weighed down and greasy. I'm not sure if I would repurchase unless my hair was permanently straight. But I don't need to worry about that for a very long time since I still have half the bottle left.

Tips: If you have short or limp hair this probably isn't the best choice for you. If you have permanently straight and long hair this is a good option to add shine to your mid lengths. I like to apply this after straightening my hair or after washing my hair while it's still wet as it distributes better.

L'Oreal Elvive Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

After styling it had done its purpose but once going outdoors it does not hold the smooth or sleekness of my unruly hair. This product seems more for the ladies with sleek hair. The Argan oil smells good. It did do what it says but only for a few minutes.

Tips: I would recommend it to those with straight hair

L'Oreal ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

I have used Elvive products for a long time (but this is the first time I've tried the Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum).

Elvive was my go-to shampoo and conditioner whenever I'd opt for Supermarket brands. After a while, I got very bored of the fragrance and started to opt for other brands. I was secretly wishing that the serum would have a slightly different fragrance than the shampoos/conditioners but I was setting myself up for disappointment.

The bottle is definitely user-friendly and allows you to get the accurate amount in your palm.

The primary reason I like using serums after drying and before styling my hair is to make my hair more manageable. I don't feel the product performed the job very well, as it still had a dry/frizzy texture. The product adds a slight 'crunch' to my hair (don't know how else to describe it), which is not what I expect when they advertise is as "leaves hair smooth, fluid…".

I also don't think I would excuse the performance for the price, as I feel I might get similar products from competitive brands for slightly cheaper at the supermarket.

Tips: If you have dry hair like me, it can be used on the ends a day or two after washing your hair as well

Very oily

I found this product incredibly oily - it made my hair look dirty and unwashed. Whilst it did help tame frizz a bit, it wasn't worth the side effects of greasy looking, oily hair.

Tips: Only use a very small amount, and see how you go - build up from there.
