L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

This is my go-to when my favourite hair serum isn't available. It's just as good but I prefer the scent of my first choice better. Performance wise, this does do what it says. It does remove the frizz and makes my hair feel silky smooth. I apply this straight after a shower and then comb it through my hair while still wet. It doesn't make my hair oily.

Very silky and smooth on the hair, repairs damaged hair and split ends, not toooo oily to use but a little goes a long way.

I have very thick, long hair (down to my waist), which is in a good condition because I virtually never use heat on it (and have never coloured it, etc), but which does tend towards dryness and a bit of frizz on the top 'layer' of hair. I'm sure that others with long, thick hair can sympathise!

I usually wash my hair at night, very loosely braid it and sleep on it, and then let it loose as soon as I wake up so that it has time to finish drying before I have to leave the house. I like to apply this serum when it is *almost* dry, as I feel like it absorbs best when it's at that stage, even though the packaging says to apply to dry hair.

A pump, sometimes a pump-and-a-half is all I usually use: I just rub it between my hands and then distribute it evenly, starting from a bit below my roots right through the the tips. Using this amount, I find that it absorbs quickly, but leaves my hair shiny and smooth.

In terms of the anti-frizz claim: I don't think that this completely knocks out frizz, but it does a pretty good job. Because it's non-greasy looking, I'm more than fine with the results it gives.

The packaging is great - a plastic bottle, so it won't smash if you accidentally knock it off your counter (not speaking from experience here of course...), and it has a pump that can be locked so it's ideal for traveling with - no leakage all over everything!

I love the smell - it's the same as the shampoo and conditioner in the Elvive range. It makes me feel like I've had a fancy salon treatment!

Price-wise, I think it's really reasonable, especially given that a little goes a long way.

Overall: I don't know how this would go if you have super super frizzy hair, but for my hair it works really well. I'd recommend it if you have thick, dryish hair.

Although I'm always on the look out for new hair products to smooth away my frizz and add shine not are all they say they are, but this product delivers on a short term basis so it really does as it says 48 hours protection!!! It is light and doesn't leave your hair heavy and greasy after the first use so I always have a bottle around

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.

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.

I am a busy mum so straighening my hair is a task that often gets neglected, my hair is often in a ponytail because its quicker in the mornings. Well with this genius product I can straighten my hair at night, while the children are asleep and it stays straight for the next day! I did find after a little over 24hours it was starting to go back to its usual wavy form, but considering I had slept on it I was impressed. The instructions say to dry hair and apply, the first time I used it I waited until my hair was completely dry and this did not work too well, I recommend applying it to towel dried hair to make it easier to spread it evenly and then letting hair dry completely before straightening if you have the time

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!!

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.
