L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

I have long, thick naturally wavy hair that's prone to frizz. My hair is in reasonably good condition although the top layer is a bit dry and i get a lot of split ends due to regular use of the straigtening iron, so i need to use a smoothing serum and recently decided to give this one a go..

The first time i used this product i applied sparingly to clean damp hair, scrunching it through with my finger tips i loved the way that it detangled with such ease also i really liked the feel of the product on my hands it feels soft and nourishing. By the time my hair had dried i was disappointed to find that it looked much the same as it would had i let dry naturally and not used any product, although it did add shine. So i decided to apply some more of the product to my dried hair this time thoroughrally massaging a generous amount through the strands and i was happy with the results. My wavy hair was nicely defined, smooth, soft, shiny and generally looked really healthy.

I need to apply quite a lot of this product to get a good result but it does the job pretty well and i like that the scent is very subtle on the hair so it's not going to be competing with perfume fragrances which i wear most days.

I might purchase this smoothing serum again, i have some others at the moment of which i have yet to test so we will see..

This is the star out of the Smooth Intense range!

I was initially surprised at how wet and un-gloopy it was, it pumped out easily and *splat* there it was in my hand, I gave it three pumps for good measure before applying it to my towel-dried shoulder-blade length hair (avoiding the scalp area as I didn't want it to look greasy on the top of the mop.)

I let my hair air-dry while it was out (something I never do, normally it goes in a bun immediately to contain the frizz) and what I was left with was much more defined curls and waves, with little to no frizz! There was a bit of frizz up top as usual due to not using the serum there, but not as much as usual thanks to the shampoo. As part of my 'tests' another day I straightened my hair once it had dried and it was easier to straighten and looked lovely and straight and it stayed that way despite it being a muggy Auckland day - amazing! Usually it boofs up in seconds!

Does it last 48 hours? Pretty much! I tie my hair up when I go to bed, so the next day there are some kinks, but it still looks smoother compared to non-serum days.

Can't recommend this enough!

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 just purchased this product and have used many in the padt. I love it and already noticing my hair feeling healthier smoother and nicer.

Absolutely love it!

This product rocks, I love how my hair feels after I have used this product. My hair is no longer frizzy as hell after washing it, or on a rainy day. I can wash my hair, put this through and forget about it. No need to constantly put it in your hair to top it up and it smells lovely.

Good value for money, and even though the bottle is smaller, it lasts for a long time as long as you only use a small amount. The only downside is that it stays on your hands after applying and can make your hands feel really dry.

Definitely a great buy and would recommend it to anyone who has frizzy hair :)

i was picked to review the anti frizz serum along side total repair 5 shampoo and conditioner.

i am so impressed with this serum!

consistency- its very light weight for an oil and doesn't leave your hair looking greasy like others i have tried in the past.

Application- one pump gives out too much product for my hair (shoulder length) so i normally do my hair and then the extra i put in my daughters.

Fragrance- this anti frizz serum has quite a nice smell to it, fresh and summer smelling in my opinion- i like!

Usage- i have been using this daily for around 3 weeks and have used the smallest amount. For the price, amount you get and how long it would last id give it a 10/10

i have dry damaged hair prone to frizz, and using this daily i do see a difference! it leaves my hair looking smooth and fly aways at the top of my head mostly disappear i would recommend this to people with frizzy dry hair :)

I love this little product it does exactly what it claims to and lasts. the smell is amazing I love running this through my hair. it instantly makes my hair feels amazing and smooth. I love that it lasts and doesn't have to be used daily. I have been using each time I wash and its great so quick and even in a ponytail my hair looks better. I have been straightening my hair less as the frizz is already gone. very impressed. this little bottle will last forever as u need almost none. the packaging is cute and attractive. I would defiantly re purchase

I have used this serum everyday for 2 weeks and find it really does smooth my hair and make it look more healthy, it helps with flyaways and make the ends lush as an oil should. I find it's best used straight after drying but before straightening

I have nothing bad to say about this product, at all. I really do like it...

The packaging is ergonomic, easy to use, user-friendly, sleek, see through and plastic, but the hard kind so it's not going to fall off of your dresser and break.

The product, wow! I have never used a serum that didn't leave my hair oily, or dirty the next day. With this one I can leave my hair for a week without washing it, it doesn't make my hair oily, nothing!

It works on both towel-dried hair and blow-dried hair, and it looks gorgeous either way! My hair is naturally curly so when I use it on my towel-dried hair and I leave it to dry, it takes almost all of the frizz out of my hair (I'll forgive it for not taking everything out, because there is a LOT!) and when I blow-dry and style my hair it is super smooth, super silky and super glossy.

This product let's me have salon hair at home without the price. I have to use a little more than their recommended 2-3 pumps, because my hair is really thick and quite long, but it doesn't really bother me too much. The price and the quality definitely makes that I would buy this product again and again.

I don't think I'll live without it again.

I have been using quite an expensive serum/oil to help smooth my frizzy flyaways so was really looking forward to trialling this serum. WELL it really did what it said! so happy that it was lightweight, not a heavy oil, smell was lovely, smoothed down my whispy bits AND I used it on my 2 daughters hair after their bath/shower before blowdrying and we had NO dramas, usually the next day their hair is a 'birds nest' again but using this serum it stayed smooth and easy to brush. LOVE IT
