A pleasant change

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 it.

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.

Ok but not amazing

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

Not for thinner hair

Until trying this out I had not believed in the idea that different products are for different hair types, don't be like me and think otherwise because it very much makes a difference. I had a bad experience with this product making my hair incredibly greasy but as I have seen my friends use it on theirs and I learned a very important lesson about the type of product you use being very dependent on your hair type. No matter how little I used I could not seem to find a balance that would improve the condition of my hair without flattening it to my head. After a visit to the hairdresser I asked about what I was doing wrong and she set me right about my hair type. My hair is dry and frizzy but the problem is that it was also too thin to stand up to the weight of this product, my friends with thicker stronger hair had much more success with it so have passed my bottle to them to use. If you have thin weak hair like me I would avoid heavy oils like Argan, while it will (and did) make your hair incredibly soft you may end up with it making your hair flat.

Tips: In my case it wasn't the products fault as I did get lovely soft hair that calmed down, it just did so too much. I'd advise leaving this one for your thicker haired friends and try a leave in conditioner instead.

L'Oreal Enlive Anti-Fizz Serum

Sprayed a little in my hair it smoothed the "fly aways" temporarily until I went outside where the humidity was quite high and up popped the "fly aways". It is an average product that semi delivers on what it states it will do.

Great product on damp hair, bad product on dry.

I've got long, thick hair that lately has been acting very frizzy and quite unruly. I've been trying all kinds of oil treatments in a desperate attempt to get some moisture and condition back into it, so I was pretty happy to be selected for this trial - although, I have to admit, I wasn't super excited because I wasn't expecting big results from a cheap retail product. Firstly I tried it on dry hair, more precisely, my flyaways. It kind of left some overly shiny patches and I had to wash my hands twice with dishwashing liquid to try to get the residue oil off.. we really weren't off to a flying start with this product. Next I used it on damp hair, towel dried straight out of the shower. I put about 6 pumps total through my hair (its about waist length and thick), not really knowing what to expect I just let it dry naturally. All I can say is despite my initial reservations about the product - using it on damp hair is amazeballs! My hair feels silky, its not frizzy at all, my flyaways are a bit more tame.. generally VERY impressed!

I'd totallystay away from applying to dry hair, except as a leave in hair treatment. Its super shiny and tends to look patchy.

Tips: Put a heavy amount on extra dry areas and leave in overnight as a hair treatment. Your hair will love you for it!

Above-Average

I like this product. It's affordable and helps my hair from looking dull and lifeless. Though, I feel like it doesn't tame my frizz at all. It also feels extremely oily if i apply it on my dry hair. I prefer to add it onto my hair when it's still wet for the best effect. Not the best product for hair serum but It's still pretty decent.

Tips: Apply to wet hair after washing. Leave in for 10mins then blowdry for the best effect.

Frizz-free, shiny but a head full of oil

I was excited with trialling this product as I had just had a haircut to the shortest I've had in years and I tend to get random fly aways and frizzy bits, but after trialling it, I kind of wished I have more hair to do so!

The scent of Elvive's Anti-Frizz serum is really lovely and the packaging is also dynamic and eye-catching.

The pump for the serum is definitely handy, but personally for my hair length at the moment, one pump is way too much. Spreading the oil over both hands help even the distribution throughout my hair evenly but I still get some patches that are more oily/shiny than others so it takes a little time to get the spread right. It smooths my hair but I have found it makes my scalp too oily and I have to wash hair more frequently as I actually ended up with some dandruff, which I normally don't get.

Would be interested to use this while I have longer hair to see how well it works!

Tips: Watch the amount you use, especially for short hair.

L'Oreal ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

What a great little serum - it has a really great smell and despite making your hands feel oily it doesn't have this affect on your hair. Makes your hair look glossy and feel nice and does tame a majority of the frizz. The packaging is great although I didn't find much instruction on how to use the product. Also a little lid on the bottle would be handy as sometimes I forget to switch the bottle off. It worked great on both wet and dry hair.

Tips: A little goes a long way

Frizz gone

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.
