I have hair that has a color change quite regularly, is very thick and is naturally curly, although I straighten it most days. Mostly I use this product in my hair when I want to leave it curly and it does a really nice job of taming the frizz. I normally would have to use a mousse once it's dry, but this definitely helps. It's also a great product to put on dry hair (just a little bit) to smooth down any extra frizzies.

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.
Tips: Best applied to dry hair, and 2 pumps seems to be enough!
I like this product, like, not love. First of all, I don't have big frizzy hair, just very dry. I like this product because I do see a difference of how my hair looks after straightening between using this and not. My hair does seem shinier and straighter when using the product before straightening. I guess this product might show better results on people with frizzy hair.
First things first, I have big, curly hair that is super lrone to frizz. For an anti-frizz serum (designed to combat frizz) this did not impress me. For me it was more of a leave in treatment than a styling product, but I do really like the way it smells-it's quite floral and delicate but warm as well. It feels similar to hair oil treatments (quite slippery and a little does go a long way which is good for your wallets), and I do like this, however I feel like using it to reduce frizz is not going to do anything. My hair was soft and shiney, but still had the frizz
Tips: I like to use it in my ends after a shower
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I definitely enjoyed using this serum, it worked well it managing those frizzy fly aways and making my hair feel very silky, I don't feel that it was very nourishing but overall it lasted all day and made my hair feel good.
Tips: work it into those ends.
