Okay but not amazing

This is an okay product which does improve the appearance of my hair somewhat, but it doesn't perform as well as others I've tried.

I would run it through the ends of my hair after blowdrying or when they were looking dull and frizzy. It definitely looks like you've put a serum in your hair afterwards, so while it does improve it somewhat, it definitely doesn't look like you've got beautiful naturally un-frizzy hair!

Works for me

I have long, thick naturally wavy hair that's prone to frizz. My hair is in reasonably good condition although the top layer is a bit dry and i get a lot of split ends due to regular use of the straigtening iron, so i need to use a smoothing serum and recently decided to give this one a go..

The first time i used this product i applied sparingly to clean damp hair, scrunching it through with my finger tips i loved the way that it detangled with such ease also i really liked the feel of the product on my hands it feels soft and nourishing. By the time my hair had dried i was disappointed to find that it looked much the same as it would had i let dry naturally and not used any product, although it did add shine. So i decided to apply some more of the product to my dried hair this time thoroughrally massaging a generous amount through the strands and i was happy with the results. My wavy hair was nicely defined, smooth, soft, shiny and generally looked really healthy.

I need to apply quite a lot of this product to get a good result but it does the job pretty well and i like that the scent is very subtle on the hair so it's not going to be competing with perfume fragrances which i wear most days.

I might purchase this smoothing serum again, i have some others at the moment of which i have yet to test so we will see..

Tips: Apply to dry rather than damp hair for better results.

Great in my hair

I have hair that has a color change quite regularly, is very thick and is naturally curly, although I straighten it most days. Mostly I use this product in my hair when I want to leave it curly and it does a really nice job of taming the frizz. I normally would have to use a mousse once it's dry, but this definitely helps. It's also a great product to put on dry hair (just a little bit) to smooth down any extra frizzies.

Nice

I got this as a gift for my birthday, i have long wavy at the ends hair, i normally straighten it and as we all no heat damage ruins hair and gives you split ends, so i applied this serum after i had straightened it and it softened my hair made it feel really nice and silky and gave it a little shine :) plus it smells nice, you don't need alot as its more a oily consistency, it does make hair straight looking its a must have i loved this

Tips: Only apply to the ends of your hair never to the roots applying to the roots can make your hair look greasy, and unwashed

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

Good product, not great

When first using this product, I noticed I was needing to use quite a lot in my hair. I felt like it was quite gluggy, when I feel like oil should be runny and smooth. I apply this product straight after straightening my hair, and find it smooths my hair nicely but doesn't last in the hair very long. Has a yummy smell!

L'Oréal ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti Frizz Serum

These products just smell so amazing you want to eat them. Are you sure they're for your hair? I have just below the shoulder length hair with waves and curls and frizz and I only needed 1-2 pumps. I put it in my hair after washing it which made my hair even more weightless and gave my hair more shine and smoothness. When I put it in my hair after it had dried, I overused product, I only needed 1 pump at the max as it made my hair a little too shiny, almost making it have a wet/oily look. With the 48 hour protection, I think it would work as I can only go a maximum 36 hours between washing my hair as my hair is naturally quite oily.

Tips: The less serum you use the better in my opinion. Test it out and see for yourself, you'll find your right amount :)

Great product on damp hair, bad product on dry.

I've got long, thick hair that lately has been acting very frizzy and quite unruly. I've been trying all kinds of oil treatments in a desperate attempt to get some moisture and condition back into it, so I was pretty happy to be selected for this trial - although, I have to admit, I wasn't super excited because I wasn't expecting big results from a cheap retail product. Firstly I tried it on dry hair, more precisely, my flyaways. It kind of left some overly shiny patches and I had to wash my hands twice with dishwashing liquid to try to get the residue oil off.. we really weren't off to a flying start with this product. Next I used it on damp hair, towel dried straight out of the shower. I put about 6 pumps total through my hair (its about waist length and thick), not really knowing what to expect I just let it dry naturally. All I can say is despite my initial reservations about the product - using it on damp hair is amazeballs! My hair feels silky, its not frizzy at all, my flyaways are a bit more tame.. generally VERY impressed!

I'd totallystay away from applying to dry hair, except as a leave in hair treatment. Its super shiny and tends to look patchy.

Tips: Put a heavy amount on extra dry areas and leave in overnight as a hair treatment. Your hair will love you for it!

Good non greasy serum

This serum comes in a plain kinda cheap looking plastic bottle with a very handy pump top. I love that you can twist the top around to lock it - no more oily serum over everything in your bag! I have had that happen so many times when travelling so this is a big plus.

As for the actual serum, the smell is quite pleasant and it's very light and non-greasy. It doesn't weigh my hair down at all or make it look gross and oily. I have long dry frizzy hair so a good anti frizz serum is a must for me, and this one does the job pretty well. I apply a tiny bit after a shower and a bit more when it's fully dry. You only need one small pump, if you use too much then your hair will inevitably get oily and lank.

Will I buy this again? Probably, if I don't find anything better. It's a good product but not amazing.

Tips: Only apply a small pump full of serum or you run the risk of oily hair!

Such a good serum!

I am quite a fan of this product! Firstly, it is reasonably inexpensive. The packaging is great, and the pump dispenses the right amount of product and is easy to 'lock'. I love the texture, it is really light! I found this really easy to rub off my hands as well, which is good when you are in a hurry. Onto the product itself, it makes my hair so soft! It does reduce frizz, but not as much as I had hoped. However, the amount of softness it gives my hair, and the shine, means that I will be definitely repurchasing. Now I just need to find a good anti-frizz product!

Tips: One pump will do.
