To be honest I was excited to try this product in sync with the rest of the range. I was that excited that I decided it would be a good idea to use this on the way home while sitting in traffic, this was a big mistake. My partner was horrified with the smell of this product, to which I can somewhat agree. I was expecting it to have a strong coconut scent but instead it gave of more of a chemical smell. Each time I have used it since I still get a distinct non-coconut, chemical type smell. On the plus side the product itself is much like other oils. I wouldn’t go out of my way to say it is amazing but is does the job. The bottle is good as it appears to be in a thick glass bottle, potentially good for accidents such as it being dropped. Would I repurchase this? Probably not, just because I wasn’t wowed by it and there are other ranges which I would like to try.

Impressions of this product before I’ve read any information about it is... It looks like an oil, the colour of the packaging is predictable, the bottle is glass and heavy which gives me the impression that its good quality. The fact that it has a white pump reminds me of skincare which I like. Let’s use this! It has a pretty smell, women will love it, I personally would prefer if it was more coconut less floral. I used the oil as per the instructions on the bottle which is pretty straight forward and easy to understand which is SO important. I left my hair to dry naturally because that is MY normal daily routine and I feel like the product did deliver what it said it would. My hair was noticeably soft, less frizz and did not feel greasy. Although this is not the sort of product I would normally reach for, I do think it could be an easy to use and satisfying product for the correct user. I think this would be ideal for someone who has naturally wavy hair that just needs a tiny bit of encouragement to stay tame or someone with a full head of normal textured virgin or coloured hair that gets blow waved or ironed regularly.
Tips: This is the kind of product you would use if you are a no fuss kind of girl and like multipurpose use from a product. Using it as a pre-shampoo treatment I would make sure its partnered up with a good quality shampoo & conditioner so that your hair does not end up feeling too heavy, you do want the treatment quality that it offers but if you are going to use it afterwards as well as a styling product then I would make sure it is completely washed out of your hair before you use it to style.
I’ve used many oil treatments over the years ,so was keen to see how this one performed . It didn’t quite deliver for me as well as others I have used before ,however price does come in to it and the others were more expensive . It did define my curls which is what I want ,but not as well as others and was a bit messy to use being an oil ,I actually prefer a cream . The pump I found a bit annoying at first but soon got the hang of it . As with all oils one has to be careful not to use too much ,or you end up with just greasy looking hair I’m not sure I would buy this product again ,I find the garnier one which is comparative in price slightly better . Again fragrance is over powering for me so that makes me less inclined to use it with the other products . However not too bad considering the RRP and I’m sure would work well for many .
Tips: Make sure you use a little only and warm it up in your hands as per instructions
It’s a good oil, I used it after straightening my hair, it made my hair smooth and shiny, it stopped fly always. But my hair felt quite greasy, not sure if it was because of the oil or coconut mask, maybe I used too many moisturising products and my hair had grease overload? I felt it was just another hair oil on the market and apart from the beautiful smell it didn’t do anything extra! So if your looking for hair oil to do shiny, smooth and frizz free, it’s definitely a contender!
This smelled amazing, and I like the thicker consistancy - its not as light as an oil. I found it abit to heavy for my thin hair.
Didn't see Any great transformation or marked improvement in my hair ,even after weeks of use. I did have high hopes for this product after all the great reviews. Sadly no.
I have this Haircare oil and to be honest I hardly use it because doesn’t really do anything for me. If I apply it after washing my hair I feel like it makes my hair feel more oily..don’t get me wrong my hair does feel soft afterwards but I think it maybe more effective on dryer hair scalps
I liked the oil, as it tamed fly aways, but did find it took a little bit to get right.
It was a lot heavier to use, and again a little bit went a long way. One squirt in my hands, rubbing them together and through a high pony was HEAPS- and I have very, very long hair.
I loved the smell, and how soft it felt all day- I couldn't stop touching it!
I would use it again, to tame fly away, more after straightening and styling- otherwise it may be a tad too rich. This could be due to the watery texture- but again this made it easier to use. I think its more of a product you just have to play with to get it right!
For someone with dry hair- this would be amazing.
I love the smell of this product, I always get compliments when I use it. It doesn't leave a film in my hair like other hair oils do. Makes my hair shiny and easy to brush
I have been trialing this product for a week now, and have not found that it has made a huge difference on my hair. I have been applying it to my hair after washing and then blow drying it in, and have not found that my hair is any softer. Now this could just be that my hair is extremely porous and damaged through the ends and this is not hydrating enough to make a big impact. I think that if you have natural hair that is not damaged this would condition your ends, but for me personally it was not intense enough.
Tips: I think it might work better for me if I saturate the ends, leave it on for 30 mins and then shampoo my hair.
