L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Hyaluron Plump Serum

I was a bit dubious when I received this product to trial. I have dry hair but I usually find any moisturising or conditioning product is easy to overdo and I'm left with lank greasy hair that needs a wash ASAP. I was especially concerned by the fact the instructions say to use the product every day. (I only wash my hair about once a week, so I was sure I'd be a greasy mess within a few days)

However, I was pleasantly surprised. Usually by the time my fine, fluffy lengths have got enough oils to look glossy and smooth the top is dirty and needs a wash (story of my life: if my hair looks good, it's because it's needing a wash!). However, applying this spray to the lengths of my hair helped to condition without creating an oily look. I managed to achieve tame, smooth lengths days before the top was due for a wash. Whoop whoop!

I also love how easy it was to apply. It's a spray bottle, so no greasy hands and uneven application. I just sprayed it a few times (about 4 - 5 spritzes each morning) and walked away. If I was a bit more dedicated to my hair I probably would have combed it in or something, but I didn't bother and I had no adverse effects. Laziness for the win!

Due to the fact that this product is light enough to use every day I suspect it's not going to be enough if your hair needs heavy-duty help, such as immediately after dying it. But if you just have naturally dry hair or you bleach every few months like I do, this is an easy product to add to your routine.

This product has been really great for my dry, damaged and brittle hair holds the moisture in smells amazing in a convenient spray bottle, love the packaging and that it’s in a 100% recyclable bottle would recommend for dry, brittle , dehydrated hair , leaves your hair so soft

I had already used the shampoo and conditioner that make up part of the L'Oreal Hyaluronic family so was keen to try the Plump serum. It certainly didn't disappoint. I used it after shampoo and conditioning, just a few quick squirts and a comb through. After drying, my hair was noticeably fuller and had that silky feel to it. The serum has a delicate scent that wont fight with your perfume. Being a retired person, I probably wont use this product every day so it will probably last a long time. One spray seems to cover a lot and for less than $20 shouldn't break the bank. The only issue I have with this product is the size of the writing on the package. Keep a magnifying glass handy if you feel you need instuctions.

I'll start with the positives - the bottle looks good and it sounds like a great product.

However, it took ages to get it to actually spray. When it finally did, it came out in quite direct sharp sprays, not the mist I was hoping for sonic felt like the product was only going on certain bits of my hair so a lot of brushing was needed.

It doesn't really have a smell, but it did feel a bit sticky on my hair even before drying. I used it for a few washes in a row on wet hair and while it may have added a small amount of volume, it certainly sus add moisture - it did the opposite and left my hair looking more dry and brittle than ever!

So I tried on dry hair and it did nothing.

Maybe it just doesn't suit my hair but I definitely won't be buying it any time soon.

I was pleased to be able to review this product on my colour treated hair, some products do not work well in this type of hair. The packaging was limited to the container itself. The colour bright purple container and red/black lettering. It was very noticeable when on the shelves as the supermarket or farmers shelving. I found it easy to use, the spray application gives out a good measure of spray to cover an area. I found I used 4-6 sprays to cover my shoulder length hair for a good overall cover. The fragrance is similar to the shampoo and conditioner I trialled as well, it’s a floral scent but not overpowering. After spraying and shaping my hair, it was easy to use for shaping or styling which made it quick and easy to use. My hair did not feel caked in product or limp or dull due to its use. The styling lasted all day, which was great to brush out the next day and reapply the serum. I looked around shops for different prices ranging from $20-$25. This I found to be very cost effective for the 150ml container. I tried to use it on dry and wet hair to see the results. Wet hair produced a great result as the hair seemed to set in shape better for the day. If on the run, the dry hair spray method works on the short term. Neither left much residue, there was a slight oily feeling if spraying to much onto dry hair. It washed out easily leaving my hair soft, which gives me the impression that it did hydrate my hair. The 2% hyaluronic acid I found holds more water than it’s weight so that’s why it’s a great hydrate for your hair. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn’t like products that cake your hair, make them stiff and lifeless. This spray works well with my hair.

After using this regularly I have found my hair feels and looks more full which is a bonus as I have fine hair. It’s easy to apply, lightweight on your hair and smells amazing. Definitely would buy again and keep using every few days as my hair looks a lot healthier after using this product and is a bit more manageable

Everyone these days who uses any hot tools needs a good after hair Serum spray.. so again was so lucky to try this hair range, and you always know L'Oreal always does everything really well.

Packaging is bright but they like bright, has a light scent i thought. it defiantly makes your hair soft, i didn't notice to much plump but it might be working behind the scenes that we cant see straight away.

again L'Oreal have made a good reasonable hair product that is well worth using after you washed and dried your hair, you hair will be soft and plump for sure.

This product is very attractive and eye catching. The colours pull you in and the pump is easy to use.

I didn't get to use it as much as I wanted due to having my arm in a splint but the times I did it left my hair a bit greasy. My hair needed to be washed more often while using this product, but that is also how my hair felt after using the Hyaluron Shampoo and Conditioner to.

I will continue to use this after my splint has gone for a couple of weeks and see if it makes any difference.

My hair did look shinier and less frizzy with this product so hoping with more use it doesn't get greasy so quickly.

I used this in conjunction with the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Hyaluron Plump shampoo and conditioner and I definitely noticed a difference. My hair is definitely more hydrated and less frizzy, however, when it comes to the hair thickening aspect I only noticed a slight boost in thickness, however I am very happy with that as I have only been using it for about a week and a half. The directions say to use it on either wet or dry hair but to o ly spray it on the ends and mid lengths. I tested this by spraying it through my hair from the mid lengths out after every hair wash, I then styled my hair as normal and it definitely made an overall difference to the health, or the appearance of health, of my hair. I have quite thin hair and due to medical reasons it has become even more thin over the past year to the point where I could see my scalp, this worked great in giving the appearance that I have thicker hair as it definitely boosted the thickness in the mids of my hair. It also smells wonderful, it smells just like the shampoo and conditioner which is very much like a sugar plum. I did also test this on dry hair as I wanted to make sure it didn't make my hair oily or leave any residue/ build up and it was fine, I was still able to style my hair how I wanted and apart from my hair becoming a bit damp, there was no build up or residue left. It comes in a spray bottle and when used it disperses a fine mist onto your hair, it is very easy to use and very easy to control where you spray. The nozzle never clogged. I checked online and it generally retails for around twenty dollars and I think that's a great price for this product. Even if you don't notice a boost in thickness, it still hydrates and detangles your hair. The packaging is a cute lilac and is 100% recyclable which is a big plus for me. I would highly recommend giving this a go, this has definitely become a new staple in my hair routine.
