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.

Anti-Frizz: Yes Please!!

L'Oreal ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum what a great product, I normally have dry, thick, unmanageable frizz and flyaways. Even since having my child my hair has slowly been growing back as I lost heaps of hair while I was pregnant so I have lots of short bits that never sit down properly and 'flyaway' which I hate. But since using this product I have noticed a remarkable difference, no more flyaways and no more frizz it's great.

I put it on my dry hair before straighten and it gives me a soft smooth finish which I love. And I find straightening much easier now.

I find I don't have to use very much for it to cover my hair (medium length hair) and even though it's an oil I did not find my hair oily after using it.

I like the packaging it stands out and you wouldn't realise it is a supermarket product. I think that it would be good if the top of the bottle hard maybe arrows on it or a way of known you had locked it shut as it's hard to tell if it is shut. It's a great size to take in my bag.

I would very much recommend it for anyone with dry, frizzy, unmanageable hair.

Tips: A little bit goes a long way, start with a small amount then slowly add more until you are happy.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Ser

This hair product is a great way to tame the frizz! I use this hair product after I have straitened my hair to smooth the static hair. The thing I love about this product is that it leaves your hair silky and shiny without that greasy oily feel, and it smells great! :) This product has lasted me over 3 months as you only need the smallest amount to add to your hair.

Tips: Only add a small amount to the ends of your hair to avoid greasiness :)

Good Product

This is a good product that comes in a nice, little pump bottle which makes it very easy to apply. It doesn't really have much of a smell as compared to other similar oils.

I have fine, medium length hair that tends to get frizzy and full of static. I apply a bit of this to my ends after running the straightener through and it leaves my hair smooth and silky. A little goes along way - I start with one pump, rub my hands together, then lightly comb through the ends with my fingers. If you use too much it can make your hair look a little greasy.

A good product that I will use again. I've had the same bottle for a year and a half and am only about halfway through it so great value for your money.

Tips: Give your hair a break from this every 3-4 days - it tends to build up even with a good daily washing.

My old favourite

I used this all the time. After washing, to make my hair look more alive, and to take the frizz of once straightened. I love this product and would use it again in a heart beat but have a new favourite I'm not ready to give up!!

Tips: Once you have straightened your hair apply a small amount all over and then straighten over to lock it in

a great impulse buy!

I picked this up on a whim when my hair wasn't behaving one day. I absolutely HATE serum (I feel like I never get it all off my hands and it feels disgusting) but this one does wash clean as well as work, therefore I like it.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum is a golden oil that comes in a golden plastic bottle with a yellow pump action dispenser. Two pumps is enough for my hair, which is about bra clasp length.

This adds shine to hair, weighing it down enough to stop it being flyaway and frizzy while not making it greasy and oily looking. I find it has quite a floral scent, that dissipates as it dries.

As i said, this washes cleanly off hands with a bit of liquid soap, and doesn't transfer from hair (once dry). It's well priced, easy to find in the supermarket, and generally a fabulous wee impulse purchase.

Tips: don't lose the lid. I did and ended up buying a second bottle for travel rather than have it go everywhere
