Loved this oil! I've never used a lot of oils in the past since they normally make my hair too oily. I was surprised that the directions only said to use 3-4 drops, rather than the usual 3-4 pumps. The formula is just so nourishing you only need the smallest amount. My hair is medium length and I found that one pump was the perfect amount, with enough left on my hands for any stray hairs around my hairline. I used it mostly after styling to smooth my ends and tame fly-aways. It smells amazing and found my hair didn't get oily, it only ever felt moisturised and sleek. This has already become my go-to finishing product and I am absolutely in love with how it makes my hair look.

I used this daily on wet hair before drying my hair off. It leaves my hair feeling very soft and smooth and you don't need to use a lot to get this effect. It has a fabulous fragrance that I adore and it adds shine to my hair which I love. It is easy to use and has a pump type dispenser which saves wastage by dispensing a decent amount.
Tips: Use on wet or dry hair. I used on my hair after I had "overdried" it to calm down the frizziness of my hair
I am normally quite hesitant when trying hair oils as i always think they will make my hair oily or greasy, however I was willing to give this a try. This is an oil which comes in a glass bottle with a handy little pump, you only need a small amount of product to get the benefits- i found 2-3 pumps was plenty for my mid length hair. This product does have a slight coconut scent however it is not too powerful. After using this product my hair has been sooooo soft, smells amazing and it has definitely helped my hair not feel so dry which is a miracle in winter. It lives up to its claims as my hair is wayyy more nourished and is not weighed down. Would highly recommend for normal to dry hair like my own.
Tips: I used this before washing my hair, just put it on and leave it on for a few mins (the longer the better), then follow with shampoo and conditioner. I think this product would be best used once a week or maybe before every second hair wash.
After washing and conditioning I towel dried my hair and applied around 2-3 drops of the hair oil as instructed I rubbed it in my hands to warm it then ran my hands through my hair paying particular attention to the sides where my hair has a tendency to stick out and frizz. There was a small oily smell not unpleasant as such but not great. I noticed that the style I had styled my hair into was staying put and wondered if that would last as normally I find having fine hair no style stays put. Usually when I apply any extra product to my hair, straight away it weights it down but this was not happening. There was no oily greasy feel either which was nice. 4 hours later and my hair felt great, clean not weighted down at all in fact quite bouncy and still in the general style I combed it into. I have repeated the above process each time I have washed my hair in the last two weeks and so far I am getting the same results. I have not noticed, as yet, any product build up which usually makes my hair go limp. I am very happy with the hair oil it has tamed my frizzes, given it a lovely shine and seems to encourage the natural waves I have. I will continue to use this product as I like the results so far also I want to see how they go in a longer test environment.
Tips: 2 drops is plenty for short hair using more resulted in the greasy look initially.
I really enjoyed this product, although at first I certainly applied too much to my hair and ended up with some over oiled bits! The smell is awesome - feels tropical and makes me wish I was in a slightly more tropical location as well. The oil itself was a lot runnier and lighter than I had expected, hence putting too much in the first time. Once I got the hang of it I put a few drops in my palms, rubbed them together and then ran my hands through my hair (ends to roots, whilst damp). I then brushed it through and allowed to dry normally - it gave enough shine and moisture to stop frizzies and flyaways, but wasn't too heavy. The product can be used on dry hair as well and I would definitely make use of it to freshen up my hair during styling on the inbetween hair washing days. Really nice product and one I'll keep using, especially given it's quite an affordable product and should last a long time.
Tips: A little goes a long way and it's easy to over-do.
Liquid gold! A beautiful coconut smelling transparent oil. Cant get over how amazing this scent is.
I love the glass bottle that it comes in to make it seem even more luxurious.
This oil re-enlivens dry, lifeless hair.
This oil is going to last such a long time, as you really only need a couple of drops! Once I have blow-dried my hair I warm 2-3 drops of the oil up in my hands and then run my fingers down my hair - this definitely helps combat the frizziness I get after having blow-dried my hair!
Doesn't leave my hair oily at all - and even the next day my hair is non-greasy which is good, so no need to wash the next day!
Tips: Again - not for oily hair - good for those with frizzy/dry hair :)
I love a good hair oil and this one was really great! It comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a pump. It holds 100ml of oil which will last ages as you only use a little bit each time.
The oil itself is very lightweight, I use 3-4 pumps, rub my hands together then apply to damp hair, it does not leave any greasy feeling at all or make my hair feel limp and heavy.
After blow drying my hair is smooth and frizz free, it has a beautiful shine and smells incredible. I really love this oil!
I have also used it on dry hair to tame any Flyaways and it did a fantastic job, you only need a little bit, it is so effective.
Overall this is a beautiful hair oil which I will gladly keep using and would happily repurchase when it runs out. Love it!
This is the last product in the L’Oreal elvive extraordinary oil coconut regime. I have tried a few supermarket branded oils the last few months and this one is so far my favorite. Im normally a high end hair care girl as I have salon bleached hair that is pink at the moment and it most defiantly needs all the help it can get! I can't rave enough about this oil! best oil i've used yet, i warmed it up in my hands like it said. It didn't leave my hair feeling really oily which was awesome as i have tried many different oils and they end up leaving my hair oily. I felt like my hair really absorbed the oil, I didn't put it near my roots. Preferred to use this product at the end so that the oils could dry in my hair. The price of this oil is really good as it's going to last me ages, i only use four pumps each time. It smells similar to the mask in this L'oreal range. I would defiantly purchase this in the future. Would recommend this oil to a friend.
Tips: Use with the other L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut products.
I was fortunate to receive the collecting of L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil range to try and review. I loved all of the products but the coconut hair oil was the stand out product for me.
I have very fine hair which is dry on the ends with fairly normal roots. Because it is so fine it easily looks weighed down especially with products that are designed to nourish the hair. This oil does not weigh my hair down or give it a horrible oiled look like all of the other hair oils I have tried.
The oil comes in an attractive gold glass bottle with a pump top which makes it simple to get the correct amount of product. It has a lovely coconut smell which leaves a long lasting fragrance on the hair.
I applied part of a pump to my hands before rubbing them together and running through my damp hair before blow-drying. It says on the packet that it can be used this way or on dry hair to transform hair into a soft and silky mane or to tame flyaways.
My hair is in better condition since using this range of products and the oil really has helped to transform my hair. For the RRP price of $19.99 this is an incredible product. I would recommend this product looking for a hair oil who has found other argan type of oils to heavy as it really does work.
Tips: Start at the ends of your hair where it really needs it!
I don't usually use any type of coconut, castor or argan oil in my hair because in makes my hair too greasy. I'm afraid that if I use it as an overnight treatment so I can just wash it out in the morning instead of having oily roots during the day, it'll rub off onto my pillow and back onto my skin causing my to break out. This product is described as "intense nourishment with no weigh down". I applied it to my wet hair after washing my hair with the shampoo, conditioner and hair mask from the same range and my hair was not greasy at all. Even better, it was silky and smooth - and that lasted for days! I was expected to have to wash my hair after a day due to greasiness but I decided to test the product and by day 3, my hair still isn't oily... which it usually would be by now. Instead my hair is silky as ever and I can't stop running my hands through my usually dry, tangled hair.
Tips: I only applied it to the ends of my hair whilst it was still wet but there's a variety of ways to use it. If you have some time of hair wrap, it would probably work wonders if you applied it from your roots all the way through and left it in overnight!
