I seen this advertised in a magazine and thought I had to have it!! I purchased this from the supermarket for $20 with high expectations for this great sounding multi-use product but was left feeling disappointed. Firstly I am not keen on the scent, it reminds me of a nit treatment smell so this really bugged me when I had it in my hair. Secondly I find that it is quite 'heavy' in my hair, leaving my hair looking quite slick and oily rather than shiny. Also don't believe that it delivers on it's description to deeply condition the hair either. This is a real shame as I usually love L'Oreal products. What I do like is the sleek glass bottle and easy to use pump dispenser, and if I did like this product then it would last such a long time, being a big 100ml bottle and only needing the tiniest amount

Tips: Only use a very tiny amount as this quite a thick and heavy oil
I picked this up at the supermarket a wee while back for around $18 (on special) as I was in need of a hair serum for my hair which has been feeling quite dry and heat damaged lately.
The packaging is really nice and sophisticated, I like the glass bottle with the pump nozzle.
I apply 1-2 pumps of this to dry hair after washing and styling my hair and find that it calms down flyaways and makes my hair feel more soft and nourished.
The oil smells really nice and I always rub any excess into my hands and arms.
I would definintely repurchase this product although it will last me quite a while!
I had a farmers voucher and desperately needed something for my hair.
Usually I get the Garnier serum but decided to spend a little bit more on something.
I really liked the glass bottle because it made the product look expensive and it was clear so you could see what the product looked like.
It looked like a rich golden honey colour which attracted me because for some reason it just looked nourishing.
I purchased it for about $22 I think which I think is a bit expensive for what it is really. Ive used better oils that are alot cheaper.
The smell was pretty average and I liked the consistency of the product as it didn't feel to oily or thick for me.
My hair is very porous so it soaked all the product up immediately and it did an okay job of making my hair look shiny and smooth.
I probaly wouldn't rush out to buy this oil again but my hair did feel a bit more frizz free with it in.
I really love this product it is one of the best supermarket hair oils I have tried. It is also the best smelling, it is not overwhelmingly perfumed like many cheaper brands and it has a very pleasant light floral scent - I could smell gardenia and rose even before I read the label and found these essential oils listed on the label. Like another reviewer below I have also tried this as a body oil and it is divine - leaves my skin so soft and the slightly sweet gardenia perfume smells great as a base for a lot of my perfumes. However it may get used up a bit too fast if I keep using it for a body oil but for the price ($20 full price) you still can't complain.
I have very fine hair but lots of it which despite being thick doesn't tolerate being weighed down by thick serums so this is perfect for my hair. When applied this seems to absorb into the hair and makes it feel luxurious with no residue. I have the regular one. I use 3 or 4 pumps after washing and can easily apply another pump on second day hair to de-frizz my curls and add shine.
The glass bottle feels heavy and looks and feels luxurious and like you are getting your money's worth.
Overall I am really enjoying this oil and I would definitely be reluctant to spend more on a salon product again after using this.
Tips: You must try as a body oil - it is divine!
For the price, this is a good product. I use this on wet hair before styling and again on dry hair to tame the frizz. Absorbs into hair and doesnt leave it looking greasy, though I do use sparingly, and only on the ends. I have tried other products which are less greasy than this one, but they were much more expensive. I will buy this again.
this isnt my fave, but then again, no oil type product is really as i dont like the greasy-ness it leaves my hair feeling. This doesnt seem overly greasy as some other serums have done but i dislike the smell and after a while, i feel it is almost a man's scent rather than feminine. if your wanting something cheap and reasonable i would go for this otherwise i am not overly fussed.
Tips: only use a tiny bit and i find it is best to apply when hair is damp after washing, rub all over hands and thoroughly through hair. this will prevent you from having greasy spots such as the fringe area or ends of hair (which i find happens easier when applying to dry hair)
this stuff really hepled my hair become more heathier believe it or not it also made my hair grow longer love it
I absolutely love this serum! i originally have the smooth intense anti frizz serum from loreal and mum has this one. This is just such a good product. The smell is just amazing! the only thing that i would say kind of towards the negative but not entirely is that this serums consistency is quite thick and wont appeal to everybodies likings. My hair is really badly damaged and so this serum works a miracle on my hair. Whenever i use this product i feel that my hair is being nourished and it feels really hydrated! i love this product, its more pricey than the smooth intense serum, but i would definately use this and buy it!
Tips: Because my hair is damaged, i include this in my daily routine. So after shampooing, condtioning and drying,i apply a small amount to the damaged areas then run my fingers through my hair. Aswell as before and after i straighten or curl my hair!
I love this stuff :) I have long thick hair with dry ends and just a couple drops is more than enough to nourish my hair without weighing it down. lovely scent, nice bottle, and it goes such a long way, I've been using it for months and im barely a third of the way through the bottle.
Tips: easier to massage into wet towel dried hair
I have thick frizzy hair at times and purchased this product to combat the frizz. This was going to be a cheaper alternative to buying moroccan oil. Unfortunately this product when it dried made my hair frizzer. I spoke to hairdressers about this and they said that it was water based. I do not know how correct this is but it definitely did not help me with fly aways and frizz. I think my hair was too thick and dry for this product.
