I have been using quite an expensive serum/oil to help smooth my frizzy flyaways so was really looking forward to trialling this serum. WELL it really did what it said! so happy that it was lightweight, not a heavy oil, smell was lovely, smoothed down my whispy bits AND I used it on my 2 daughters hair after their bath/shower before blowdrying and we had NO dramas, usually the next day their hair is a 'birds nest' again but using this serum it stayed smooth and easy to brush. LOVE IT

Tips: use on the little ones hair as well, no more tears when brushing!
I was excited with trialling this product as I had just had a haircut to the shortest I've had in years and I tend to get random fly aways and frizzy bits, but after trialling it, I kind of wished I have more hair to do so!
The scent of Elvive's Anti-Frizz serum is really lovely and the packaging is also dynamic and eye-catching.
The pump for the serum is definitely handy, but personally for my hair length at the moment, one pump is way too much. Spreading the oil over both hands help even the distribution throughout my hair evenly but I still get some patches that are more oily/shiny than others so it takes a little time to get the spread right. It smooths my hair but I have found it makes my scalp too oily and I have to wash hair more frequently as I actually ended up with some dandruff, which I normally don't get.
Would be interested to use this while I have longer hair to see how well it works!
Tips: Watch the amount you use, especially for short hair.
Absolutely loved it! Follow the directions and you can't lose! Most products I have tried tend to weigh my hair down and generally make my hair look greasy. I found L'Orèals Elvive Smooth Intense Anti-Fizz Serum worked great! I wash and straighten my hair every 3-4 days, the anti-fizz kept my hair shiny and light, although I have gone without straightening just to see the effect of the serum and found that it still worked for me! My hair is long and thick, down to my waist, 4-5 pumps was enough for coverage of my hair. The only down side...( doesn't usually happen and the only change in my routine was the serum), was that I found my hair seemed to be charged with static? But all in all very pleased with the product well worth it and still have over half left!
Tips: Play around with the serum... try different things that may work for you.
When I received this product I was not convinced that it would do what it said it would do...boy was I wrong :) My hair is hard to tame at the best of times and I always go out and come home with frizzy unruly hair. I used the product and by the end of the day my hair was no way near as frizzy. This anti-frizz serum is an oil, it has a pleasant smell and is so easy to apply. I just put a small amount in the palm of my hand rubbed my hands together and distributed it evenly down the length of my dry hair. I noticed the difference almost immediately. I was quite impressed with it and have used it happily every day. I liked this product and would definitely use this again. My hair hasn't been this tame before!!
Tips: A small amount goes a long way. The product is to be used on dry hair. I have also used this product in conjunction with L'Oreal ELVIVE Smooth-intense Anti-Frizz shampoo and conditioner in the last couple of days and have found that the frizziness of my hair was reduced even more. If you have hard to tame hair, give this product a try.
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.
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
This is a lifesaver! My hair is naturally quite wild with plenty of flyaways and this serum does amazing to bring my hair much needed shine. It makes it look super healthy but at the same time still natural. When applied liberally it doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy but gives a beautifully natural and polished look. It pumps the perfect amount and I like that you can twist the pump so it locks in place to avoid any accidental pushes to the pump. The packaging is cute and small, easily fitting for my handbag. And will definitely last a while. I reccomend this to anyone as a great product if you don't want to spend salon prices.
Tips: Make sure you use a smaller amount and add extra if needed. Using too much to begin with could leave your hair feeling greasy
I was so excited when I receive this product to try out. I have a thick wavy hair and I usually have a hard time managing the frizz. The packaging was neat and the lockable pump made it easier to carry around in the bag without worrying about spillage. It has a nice smell. I tried this product on my hair and left it to dry naturally and found that it did not deliver the results I was hoping to get. It did'nt do anything for my thick wavy hair. I did try it again, but this time straighten my hair, found that it made my hair smooth and soft. This serum works better for me with styling rather than the first option. It is lightweight but has the tendency to make my hair feel greasy. It is reasonably price compare to other supermarket brands thus will make me probably use it again. The product works to some extent but in contrast to other serum I have used before, is not the best.
Tips: Try just one pump at first and adjust so you don't get the greasy feel.
What a great little serum - it has a really great smell and despite making your hands feel oily it doesn't have this affect on your hair. Makes your hair look glossy and feel nice and does tame a majority of the frizz. The packaging is great although I didn't find much instruction on how to use the product. Also a little lid on the bottle would be handy as sometimes I forget to switch the bottle off. It worked great on both wet and dry hair.
Tips: A little goes a long way
I have nothing bad to say about this product, at all. I really do like it...
The packaging is ergonomic, easy to use, user-friendly, sleek, see through and plastic, but the hard kind so it's not going to fall off of your dresser and break.
The product, wow! I have never used a serum that didn't leave my hair oily, or dirty the next day. With this one I can leave my hair for a week without washing it, it doesn't make my hair oily, nothing!
It works on both towel-dried hair and blow-dried hair, and it looks gorgeous either way! My hair is naturally curly so when I use it on my towel-dried hair and I leave it to dry, it takes almost all of the frizz out of my hair (I'll forgive it for not taking everything out, because there is a LOT!) and when I blow-dry and style my hair it is super smooth, super silky and super glossy.
This product let's me have salon hair at home without the price. I have to use a little more than their recommended 2-3 pumps, because my hair is really thick and quite long, but it doesn't really bother me too much. The price and the quality definitely makes that I would buy this product again and again.
I don't think I'll live without it again.
Tips: Depending on your hair's length/thickness, use a couple of pumps more. Also, rub it in your hands a bit first before applying otherwise everything will sit in one place.
