L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

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.

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.

L'Oreal ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

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 :)

I currently have 3 serums on my vanity and this, so far, is my favourite. It's runnier than the others which I like as it feels like it spreads through my hair easier, rather than being gel like. It gives a wet look at first but that goes away pretty quickly. It definitely helps my hair feel smoother.

I have pretty frizzy/fluffy hair, and it makes a definite improvement, but if I put it on before work, it won't last the day without going a bit fluffy again. As I say, it's MUCH better than without the serum, but I wouldn't say it's 100% perfect.

It's a product I'd continue to use, it smells good, it's easy to use, and the price point is great comparative to other serums.
