L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Anti-Frizz Serum

Hands down one of the best hair serum's around for the price. What I love about this is that there is no concern about oily residue, the serum itself is super light and absorbent.

I found this a perfect weapon against frizzies, normally I would spray hair-spray on my fingers/or a fine toothed comb and go from there but the problem with that is sticky fingers and having to wash the comb all the time. This is the perfect, easy to throw in your travel bag, handbag, sit on the shelf product. You literally cannot go wrong with it. I found the plastic container ideal for travel myself, no concern about the bottle smashing.

Love this serum I use it every time I straighten my hair! When applied to hair its oily but then afterwards it makes my hair feel so smooth silky and totally natural looking I love this! Awesome product I must say.

Love, love, love this stuff on my frizzy mess of a mop! I use it on my damp hair at night, wake up in the morning and I don't have frizz central on my head. I find it helps keep my ends nice and healthy and my hairdresser knows if I haven't been using it.

I have very thick, long hair (down to my waist), which is in a good condition because I virtually never use heat on it (and have never coloured it, etc), but which does tend towards dryness and a bit of frizz on the top 'layer' of hair. I'm sure that others with long, thick hair can sympathise!

I usually wash my hair at night, very loosely braid it and sleep on it, and then let it loose as soon as I wake up so that it has time to finish drying before I have to leave the house. I like to apply this serum when it is *almost* dry, as I feel like it absorbs best when it's at that stage, even though the packaging says to apply to dry hair.

A pump, sometimes a pump-and-a-half is all I usually use: I just rub it between my hands and then distribute it evenly, starting from a bit below my roots right through the the tips. Using this amount, I find that it absorbs quickly, but leaves my hair shiny and smooth.

In terms of the anti-frizz claim: I don't think that this completely knocks out frizz, but it does a pretty good job. Because it's non-greasy looking, I'm more than fine with the results it gives.

The packaging is great - a plastic bottle, so it won't smash if you accidentally knock it off your counter (not speaking from experience here of course...), and it has a pump that can be locked so it's ideal for traveling with - no leakage all over everything!

I love the smell - it's the same as the shampoo and conditioner in the Elvive range. It makes me feel like I've had a fancy salon treatment!

Price-wise, I think it's really reasonable, especially given that a little goes a long way.

Overall: I don't know how this would go if you have super super frizzy hair, but for my hair it works really well. I'd recommend it if you have thick, dryish hair.
