Anti Frizz Serum

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

Fight the frizz

After having my last baby a year ago I got the usual hair fallout followed by the frizzy regrowth. Ugh. I also leave it a while in between haircuts so that does not help my problem... hence I purchased this product to try and tame the mane.

This product is easy to use, lasts a while and is much cheaper than the Moroccan oil I also use to fight the fro. I apply this serum after a shower and usually sleep on it before dealing with my hair the following morning. I do find it helps me in that my hair is softer and more manageable with less static. As for those baby hairs it doesn't do too much to help them aside from making them easier to straighten when I use my GHDs.

Good for the price you pay.

Great stuff

Have definitely used nearly ALL anti frizz product so the market and this is one of the best. Doesn't cure all frizz but works reasonably well. Doesn't leave hair greasy like some other products.

The best I have used thus far.

Like most women, I hate my frizzy, flyaway hair. I have tried a few anti frizz products and none of them did a really astounding job. To be fair, my hair is fairly thick and long and it definitely has a life of its own.

My sister bought this for herself and then gave it to me after she shaved her head for 'shave for a cure'. Her hair at the time was medium length and thinner than mine. She swore by this but because our hair is different I didn't have high hopes for it.

The pump on this is easy to use - I've never had an issue with accidentally getting too much. I found it easy to distribute and apply to my hair. One pump is all I use as I made the mistake of using two and had greasy looking hair.

I tend to use this at night before I go to bed, after straightening my hair and after a shower.

The serum really does help with my frizziness. It doesn't completely diminish it but it does do a noticeable job in making my hair sleeker and suuuuper shiny. The first time I used this my boyfriend asked me what I had done to my hair, as it "looks nice" haha.

I love that this has argan oil in it, as it makes me feel like I am doing something to nourish my hair as well as make it more aesthetically pleasing :P

I still have a lot of this left and I use it almost every other day. In terms of how much you get for the price - I think this is a steal and I will definitely be repurchasing it when I run low.

In my opinion, this is the best anti frizz serum I have used yet. The price is worth every penny and you get a heap of product for your money.

L'Oreal Elvive Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

I had been using this for years after trialling quite a few supermarket serums. I found this to be the best of the bunch for my hair. This worked a charm (until I found a better product) and only then did I find that it is a little 'heavier' than my current serum. This did help with frizz and has a lovely scent. If you're looking for a good supermarket serum, them I would highly recommend you try this product.

Tips: A couple of drops warmed up and concentrate on the ends of your hair first before lightly running through the rest of your hair.

Great product!

I loved Elvive anti frizz serum. It kept my hair from frizzing up during the day and made my hair shiny and easy to style. The only down side is it is very difficult to wash off your hands after putting it through your hair. You need to use hot water and lots of soap.

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!

Anti-Frizz a Winner For Me

The Loreal anti-frizz serum had a very light consistency but a little bit on the greasy side it took a little bit of washing my hands to get rid of the residue left behind. It was really easy to apply unlock the pump by turning it (arrow on the top in case you forget which way to turn it) and pump into your hands. Lock it again by turning the other way after use, this was great as it meant no spillage/leakage into my makeup bag !. I really liked the fragrance of this anti-frizz serum it reminds me of being at the hairdressers it’s not overpowering in any away but leaves your hair smelling nice and clean and fresh. I didn’t need a lot of this product at all on my hair, I have quite fine thin hair but just a lot of it. The instructions say that to pump several pumps of serum into the palm of your hand and for longer hair more serum may be required. My hair is long and I found a couple of pumps was too much for my hair, it weighed it down too much and it made it a bit greasy. I found I only needed to use one pump as a little really did go a long way. The instructions say that it will give you 48 hours protection from frizz and humidity/dry weather, this was quite true in my case (we haven’t really had any dry weather but humidity definitely and rain !!). I would put this on after washing my hair in the morning , I found this product worked much better in my hair when it was damp and I would either blow dry or leave it to air dry, in both instances it tamed my flyaways/frizz until the next wash at least. I wash my hair most days now unfortunately due to going to the gym in the morning so it was used daily after my wash. Given that you don’t need to use a lot of this product this is ideal for me having to use it every day without breaking the bank !. I didn’t find the packaging anything particularly special however this doesn’t really bother me as its shoved into the bottom of my travel makeup bag anyway so the outward appearance doesn’t bother me on this one. The pump is secure and I had no leakages into my bag so I am one happy camper with that ! there is nothing worse than finding product at the bottom of your bag and over your other items. After using the product every day for a week –I would say it did do what it claimed for me , it keep my flyaway’s at bay, tamed the frizz and left my hair feeling soft and looking shiny and manageable until the next wash (it was a lot easier to style – straighten and tie up it was more pliable and co-operative than usual). It does also say on the instructions that you can apply to dry hair for more intense shine however I found this didn’t work for me (it definitely made it shiny) but it made my hair to slick and greasy…but I do have quite fine hair so it can’t handle many products in it dry. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. Its affordable, will last forever and left my hair feeling better than when it started.

Tips: I would definitely err on the side of caution as to how many pumps you need of this. I only needed one not the several it recommended you can always pump more in if needed.

Pretty good

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.

Tips: Make sure not to apply too much as it can make your hair really oily. Also avoid the roots of your hair.

anti-frizz serum

My first use of this was a big fat fail, i used a few pumps and applied throughout my hair which made my hair look insanely oily. My second attempt achieved results, i used 1-2 pumps, not applying to the roots and it gave an oily look at first but went away quickly leaving me with a smooth, sleek, less frizzy look - exactly what it says it does! While it didnt contain all of my frizz it did a better job than the other anti-frizz serums i have tried. It smells fantastic (argan oil) and the texture is quite oily. It does stay on your hands after and does not feel nice so make sure you wash your hands well after applying. The bottle is a great size for your makeup bag or handbag, however i found i did not need to use it as a touch up throughout the day so in the bathroom it stays. I am interested to see how much better this serum could be in conjunction with the shampoo and conditioner - maybe it will help with the bit of frizz i have left? Another thing i LOVE about this product is the lock on the pump! Genius

Tips: A little goes a long way. Wash your hands well after.
