L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Hair Oil

Argh hair products are such a weakness of mine, oils, masks, treatments, fancy conditioners, I LOVE them all, so when this came in the ‘top rated’ BBBE it was naturally the first thing I tried. Especially since I love the shampoo, conditioner and mask in this range.

It comes in a big 100ml glass bottle with a pump top lid, the glass is a see through orange colour, it’s nice and slightly matches the rest of the range.

I pump out 4 pumps, I have very dry and damaged hair so I need loads of oil. I am so, so happy one of the reasons I love this range of products is the gorgeous scent it has and this is no different. It’s like a sweet musky/woody scent. Definitely my favourite hair care product scent. Anyway… the clear oil absorbs so easily into my hair, one minute it’s there and the next it’s gone.

Afterwards my hair feels silky soft and smooth with the gorgeous sweet scent wafting through the air. I have been applying this in damp, towel dried hair and in dry hair and I have noticed when I apply it to damp hair I still need to apply more once my hair is dry. It doesn’t leave my hair oily or greasy it’s so lightweight for an oil.

This is also great to apply just before I straighten my hair making it even more silky smooth and helps to tame any flyways. I will probably purchase again.

As a curly haired gal, we need as much moisture and nourishment as possible in order to keep the frizz at bay, particularly since curly hair is known for being quite dry. After reading positive reviews on this site I decided to pick up a bottle of this one.

I like the fact that this product has a pump, and that it is clear so you know exactly how much product you have left. This has a light floral scent and is not a super heavy hair oil. I find that I can use two pumps of this on straight or curly hair and it adds a bit of nourishment to dry ends and smooths any flyaways without veering into oil slick territory.

This is a very nice hair oil at a very reasonable price for such a big bottle. Would happily repurchase

I got this product in the Top Rated Best Beauty Box Ever and WOW!! I can so see how it got there. It is amazing.

The L’Oreal Elvive extraordinary hair mask is my favourite, so I was expecting great things from this oil, and I was not disappointed.

It comes in a glass bottle with a golden pump spray top. It looks luxurious, it smells super super fabulous, and it is hair oil heaven.

I’ve been using it as a conditioning treatment, and I soak my pony tail in it every night before I go to bed. My hair absorbs it and it doesn’t leave grease marks anywhere, and doesn’t make my hair oily. After applying it, I rub the excess oil on my hands into my nails – sometimes adding a little more. It makes a fabulous hand and nail oil, and let’s face it, the scent is gorgeous and applying it everywhere means more scent everywhere – yum! It absorbs quickly into skin also and makes for lovely soft skin.

The blurb says it will make your hair feel nourished and protected and it certainly does. My hair is very dry and this product really softens it, and straightens it, and helps avoid frizz.

I can’t say enough about this product, and very highly recommend it to others. I will always continue to use it.

I bought this oil a couple of years ago (maybe even longer?) when there was a lot of hype about hair oils. I have only just come to the end of the bottle now! Admittedly I do have short hair but I have used a couple of pumps of this each time I have washed my hair which is a couple of times a week. I also use it in between washes when my hair gets the frizz. I have coloured, naturally wavy hair and this keeps it looking healthy and shiny and stops my hair colour looking flat.

It is non-greasy and on the times I apply a little too much, my hair absorbs it and I'm not left with an oil slick. This oil feels luxurious with its glass bottle and warm, floral smell. I don't feel the need to wash my hands after using it as I just rub the oil into my hands and it is quickly absorbed.

I would definitely buy this again as considering how long it has lasted, it is extraordinary value for money!

For a drugstore product, this stuff really helps my bleached and stringy hair look healthy.

I use a pump or so and run it through my hair when it's wet, otherwise it would be too oily.

Bottle is quite heavy and annoying for traelling though

Comes in a clear gold glass botyle with gold pump. I bought mine from the Warehouse. Lasts a long time. I still havent finished my bottle and I use it on my daughters hair as well. Needless to say a little goes a long way. I use one pump for wet hair. Makes my hair soft and shiny and feels very smooth. It has got a pleasant smell as well. Doesnt weigh down the hair or makes it greasy. Tames flyaways as well.

My hair was very damaged from bleaching and it did wonders for it ( couldnt get a comb through my hair without applying this oil). Would buy again when I have finished my old bottle.

I bought this whilst travelling to combat a bout of fantastic frizz. I have fine, curly hair and gently rubbing a bit of product into the ends of freshly washed hair did manage to combat some of my feisty frizzy bits. A very good product (but still not quite as good as the very well known hair oil on the market). ;)

I bought this L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Hair Oil to see if it would, a) make a big difference to my hair, b) was worth the fuss and c) if it outdid all other brands of hair oil I have tried. For $19.99 or $20 like I paid, I expect optimum results! I am used to only paying $10 tops for a hair oil so this was a stretch for my budget conscious self.

What caught my eye was the packaging. The luxurious gold glass bottle with the gold pump top. The gold looking oil in it just made it one complete gorgeous package. The gold gave it that 'I'm number one, buy me' look. If I see luxury I expect luxury performance. For the price I do admit that it is alot bigger than most hair oils I have bought so that's a bonus. I usually wash my hair and run this oil through my hair afterwards to give it the kick of life it needs. But recently I have found that running it through fry hair works just as well, if not better.

Now I have used a heaps of hair oils and serums but none really stacked up to this gem. The packaging almost suits what I think of it. It's GOLD! The consistency is velvety smooth but not overly oily. It doesn't leave my hair greasy looking like other oils have. It gives it a sheen or a shine rather than a thick layer of oil. Over the day the oil soaks in to my hair leaving is very soft and it actually helps with styling it because it makes it behave better.

I have damaged hair from years of bleaching but this seems to take all that damage away and give it that 'hair flick and pose' feeling. If you like to style but don't like the hard crunchy feeling styling products give you, I suggest using this instead. It tames those frizzy bits and weaves them in amongst the rest of your hair.

The only reason for the three stars is my own personal experience. I normally have dry and sometimes flaky scalp but this seems to make it ten times worse. For that I try to keep the oil off my scalp and only in the hair ends not the root. It has worked well so far. If you want shiny (not greasy or oily) hair, hair that will behave and hair that is at its best then give this a go. I thought at $20 this was a rip but I have come to realize that it's certainly worth the small fortune.

I tried a sample of this product a few years ago and honestly didn't try hard enough to get my hands on it, even though it did amazing things for my hair! I now have an entire bottle which I use after every time I wash my hair or occasionally for smoothing after styling. My hair is long, thick and slightly wavy, if not volumuos! When I apply this product I notice instant changes with how it sits. It is much more calm and easier to style. My hair is also dry so this oil is very nourishing for it. It smells amazing and I have had lots of comments on that. I will be continuing to use this product on my hair, it produces very good results which I have never found with regular leave in conditioners.
