L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

I like this product. It's affordable and helps my hair from looking dull and lifeless. Though, I feel like it doesn't tame my frizz at all. It also feels extremely oily if i apply it on my dry hair. I prefer to add it onto my hair when it's still wet for the best effect. Not the best product for hair serum but It's still pretty decent.

This is the star out of the Smooth Intense range!

I was initially surprised at how wet and un-gloopy it was, it pumped out easily and *splat* there it was in my hand, I gave it three pumps for good measure before applying it to my towel-dried shoulder-blade length hair (avoiding the scalp area as I didn't want it to look greasy on the top of the mop.)

I let my hair air-dry while it was out (something I never do, normally it goes in a bun immediately to contain the frizz) and what I was left with was much more defined curls and waves, with little to no frizz! There was a bit of frizz up top as usual due to not using the serum there, but not as much as usual thanks to the shampoo. As part of my 'tests' another day I straightened my hair once it had dried and it was easier to straighten and looked lovely and straight and it stayed that way despite it being a muggy Auckland day - amazing! Usually it boofs up in seconds!

Does it last 48 hours? Pretty much! I tie my hair up when I go to bed, so the next day there are some kinks, but it still looks smoother compared to non-serum days.

Can't recommend this enough!

I was so underwhelmed by this. It's admittedly not terrible and does have it's positive points (the amazing smell for one) but I won't be repurchasing and I expected more.

I've been using coconut oil to tame frizz but there was a buy 3 for $15 promotion OK Elvive at Countdown so thought I'd give this a go as sometimes it's a fine line between soft and shiny and greaseball with coconut oil.

The product is very slick textured. I feel like it sticks to my hands more than my hair which I don't like and haven't had from a product before. It takes a full wash to remove it and you definitely can't get away with not washing hands after.

It performed OK I guess but I've used other supermarket serums that were much better and coconut oil far exceeds it. My hair is in great condition for a bottle blonde and it struggled to tame my very limited frizz so am unsure how it would fare on anyone with serious frizz.

I was very fortunate to be selected to trial this (Thanks BR!). I say fortunate because I have the ultimate frizz mop! Yes, my hair is thin and wavy at its natural best… But boy oh boy it is one hellova frizz mop more often than not.

My first impression when I pulled this out of the courier bag was wow! The box is a pretty orange sleek design and the instructions are on it. The bottle itself is very easy to use, just twist the pump, pump one – one and a half pumps of the serum and twist to close.

I first tried this at night after I washed my hair. The smell to me was very pleasant and fruity. The consistency is what you’d expect, a slightly thick oil. I ran the oil through my towel dried locks and went to bed, hoping for the best… When I woke up I was surprised! My hair looked shiny and felt soooo soft and there was NO FRIZZ!!! I was quite elated!!! Roll on Good Hair Day!!

Fast forward to my next hair wash, I forgot to put the oil in my hair afterwards, so decided to try on my dry hair. I have to say the result wasn’t as good as when my hair was wet. I still had noticeable frizz, although it did leave my hair shiny.

Overall I really love this product. My hair really benefited from this product and I would definitely recommend to anyone with frizz problems. I will be buying this once my bottle runs out. NEW LOVE!!

Well I have used Moroccan Oil before and have never liked it so I was a bit nervous about using this one. Thankfully I loved it!

It came in a small container that has a pump top. I used two small squirts which was plenty for my short hair. The texture was very thin so be careful not to drip it on the floor. I rubbed it between my hands and then flicked my hands over the ends of my hair only as was wanting to deal to those drier frizzy ends. Well, they really tamed those babies down and I ended up with a lovely tame wave. I did not scrunch my hair with my hands as I think it would be too much product for my fine hair.

It was also a delightful smell that lingers throughout the day. I don't know if it would have lasted 48hrs like the label said as I always wet and condition my hair every 2nd day. But after saying that, my hair definitely was more manageable the second day and easy to comb.

I was quite keen to try this, as I have thick frizzy hair that is regularly heat treated..So the first morning I shampooed, conditioned , rinsed , towel dried then serum. I don't know what went wrong here but my hair was terrible. The next time, same scenario BUT I towel dried and left it to dry naturally for an hour or so, used LESS serum than the time before, and wallah! lovely hair with no frizz...a great, weightless, easy to use serum, with a fab lockable pump great for travelling. It smells lovely, and even seems to work taming frizz if you use a TINY bit, on days you don't wash.

I found this product great, very easy too apply (and over apply!) smelt nice and soaked in well. However I just found it too oily for my hair type, made by hair very greasy rather quickly.

My hair is naturally very frizzy and dry, and this is really great for it. It is very easy to apply, smells nice, and soaks in well. Putting it in after washing my hair really helps to tame it, and makes it super shiny too. I also notice when I use it before blow drying my hair, that it goes far less fluffy once I have finished drying, which is normally a huge problem for me!

It's pretty effective and has lasting effects between washes. It makes my hair so nice, and this lasts right up until you wash it next - I find it lasts longer than shampoo smell.

I totally hate hair washing day. Product and straightening still leaves fluffy semi unruley hair. So after washing straightening and apply the anti frizz serum I had lovely, shiney, non frizzy hair. Even the next day a brush through and it was still maintaining the boff. It has a lovely faint smell that is not overpowering.

I have really frizzy unruly hair and find this product amazing for taming my thick hair. It is one of the nicer serums I have used. I usually but from hair salons too :)
