L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

Yes it does make your hair soft, but only appearing so. This stuff is covers your hair in silicons and has little to no nourishing ingredients for your hair.

But if you're just looking for something that will make your hair appear smoother then this product works fine.

I had really high hopes for the L'Oreal ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum but unfortunately it did not quite meet them and I have been left a bit disappointed with the performance of this product! I use serums all the time, albeit usually salon brand, however I had a benchmark that this serum was unable to meet.

The packaging was really lovely, it definitely did not look like a $12.99 bottle from the supermarket. When I read the back of the box that it came in I was really excited to read that it included Argan Oil and would moisturise my hair. Unfortunately I found the serum to be be very greasy and oily in my hands and then I had to be really careful to ensure that it was all rubbed into the ends of my hair so it wouldn't leave it greasy. The first time I used it I used it close to my roots and my hair looked oily.

One of my pet peeves is flyaways and I thought that this serum would really help in reducing the flyaways that I have. Again I didn't think that this product did very well in doing this.

I have read some great reviews about L'Oreal ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum but it just wasn't the product for me unfortunately!

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.

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.

I found this product incredibly oily - it made my hair look dirty and unwashed. Whilst it did help tame frizz a bit, it wasn't worth the side effects of greasy looking, oily hair.

I bought this product hoping to add some moisture to my dry, damaged, fine hair. The serum comes in a small bottle with a pump dispenser- at first I was really pleased with this feature but quickly realised that one pump was way too much for my hair so I ended up with sticky hands! To use, pump onto your palms and distribute evenly through the ends and mid lengths of your hair. The product feels silicony and has no determinable smell. Unfortunately, this product was way too heavy for my hair and left it looking oily and stringy. I think it is more suited to coarser, thicker hair.

I have wavy to curly hair and I like to wear it down a lot but it can get quite frizzy. I thought I would try this product to see if it would help. I found that it was ok, My hair didnt change that much, and it left my hair really oily and I needed to wash it more often. I think if would be ok if your hair isnt crazy frizzy.

I bought a bottle of this long time ago. I had a lot of static and frizz so I wondered if this would help smooth things. What I do like about this is that it does help smooth and tame fly aways. When I do straighten my hair a tiny amount adds a nice sheen. If I apply a bit on wet hair after washing my hair dries a bit straighter. The pump can be locked at the top so you don't have to worry about a mess in your drawer or bag. Also because a little goes a really, really long way you a bottle will last you ages. The cons of this product are that it's easy to over apply. Some hair oils or serums you reapply the next day or the day after if your hair is dry. This serum weights down your hair so while this is good for fly aways it can make your hair look greasy and limp. It's best suited to straight hair styles where a nice shine in the lengths look good, but if you are styling your hair with volume and waves or curls this will weigh it down. Some hair oils and serums you can use for both hairstyles to add shine, but this doesn't have that versatility since it weighs down hair. You can use this to tame fly aways but only on the mid lengths of your hair as if you put it any farther up your hair will look greasy. I also don't recommend putting applying to dry hair unless you just straightened it. So overall while this is a good product for straight hair styles it seems to lack that versatility that some other hair oils and serums I've used have. I can't recommend this for short shoulder length hair since it would make your hair look weighed down and greasy. I'm not sure if I would repurchase unless my hair was permanently straight. But I don't need to worry about that for a very long time since I still have half the bottle left.

I have naturally curly hair and while this product did reduce the frizz it left my hair limp and killed the curl. I did use it on on my hair after it had been straightened and ir smoothed the frizz but as I wear my hair curly 90% of the time I wouldn't buy this as it doesn't suit my hair at all.

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.
