I'm Impressed!

I must say I’m impressed. I have dry, thin, frizzy hair and this fine coconut hair oil h s been a wonderful treat for My distressed manes. The golden coloured oil comes in a glass bottle with pump lid which I found dispensed the perfect amount. I have been using this for past 6 days and every time after application my hair feels pretty soft.1 to 2 pumps was enough for my below the shoulder length hair. I applied it on wet hair before blow drying from mid length to the ends avoiding the scalp. The oil itself has a very light serum type consistency and is easy to apply. It has a pleasant mild smell which does not linger on. After application hair does feel very smooth and soft without giving the oily weighed down look. Overall I’m really happy with this hair oil and will continue to use it.

Tips: Perfect for dry hair types. Apply on wet hair.

L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Coconut Oil

smell like a holiday and makes your hair feel absolutely lush! this would not normally be my go to product but I gave it ago and wow was I surprised my hair felt so shiny and soft, I used this after my hair was washed towel dried then I applied the product and let my hair dry naturally and it felt the best it has in ages, would definitely recommend this product to someone that doesn't have the budget for a salon professional product but wants to use a great nourishing product.

Tips: use 1 pump of oil for short hair, 2 pumps of oil for medium to long hair less of this product is more as you can make the hair appear oily if you over use. when applying to the hair make sure you focus on the ends of the hair working your way up to the mid lengths of the hair, try to avoid apply to the roots as you can make the hair appear greasy. I found this product works best in wet or styled hair as a finishing product to smooth out your finished result or just as a nice leave in nourishing product for the hair.

Silky velvety smooth

L’Oréal has always been a great hair product and I was excited to try this new product. The nice glass bottle is a great shape, the pump dispenses easily and not too much product onto your hand. This new oils scent is devine And smells like a tropical island holiday, the texture is velvety smooth and light without feeling greasy, I have very fine hair and most oils I have used weighs it down significantly even with smallest drop, this oil is very lightweight but I found I could only use a very small amount, without it feeling limp. It’s lovely to use as a heat protectant before blow drying keeping it away from roots and also a teeny amount distributed evenly through hair after straightening to tame those pesky flyaways. Overall I would Definately reccomend and use this delicous oil again but for my hair only a very small amount. The size bottle would last a very long time which is a bonus too!

Tips: Rub a very small amount on your palms after straightening and lightly stoke over those flyaways.

L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut Oil

With my dry hair, which is long and colour treated. I have been using this oil to add moisture without being too greasy. I only use a small amount then brush it through. The condition of my hair is improving but I will need to look after it to maintain the condition.

Tips: I use at night or after straightening so as not to heat damage my hair.

A little goes a long way!

The Loreal extraordinary oil is one of the best hair oils I have used, here is why:

The oil comes in a light orange glass bottle containing 100mL of product. The packaging is elegant and appears more upmarket.

The consistency is oily and the runniness is dependent on the warmth of the room it has been stored in, i.e. thicker in a colder room. It feels silky on the palms of hands and runs easily through the hair being instantly noticeable where it has been applied.

The bottle has an easy pump applicator with a twist so that it can be locked for travelling or when not being used.

The scent is lovely with a hint of coconut.

Once opened, the packaging claims the oil will last 18 months. This is a reasonable time for the 100mL in the bottle.

Very little oil is required for thorough application. My hair is down to the middle of my back, thick and curly. One to two pumps (~3-4mL total) is all I need, it really does go a long way! The claim of the oil is that it is 'weightless' and 'non-greasy;' I agree mostly with this comment. Oils can readily flatten my hair and make it look greasy so the quantity of oil I apply never needs to be much. The Loreal extraordinary oil did not weigh my hair down and surprisingly did not make it feel greasy or like I have a lot of product in it, this is hard to find with oils. After application, my hair is left feeling luxurious, hydrated and soft.

Personally, I would only need to use the oil 1-2 times per week, but this may vary for each person's hair condition.

At $19.99 per 100mL bottle and only requiring about 3-4mL per usage, the oil should technically last 25-33 usages. If I am using 1-2 times per week this should last 13-33 weeks which is well within the 18 months of the period after opening on the label. This equates to $0.60 - 0.79c per application. Compared to other hair oils, I would say this is about the middle of the price market.

Overall I am really happy with how the hair oil has made my hair feel. I will definitely be including this in my hair care regime a couple of times per week.

Would I recommend this? Absolutely, especially if you have hair like me: thick, curly, and a tendency to be dry and/or knotty.

Tips: Start with one pump, it will likely be enough!

Loved this as an overnight treatment!

I'm a daily hair oil/serum user. I have quite fine hair, but also dry due to colouring and styling - so oils are my 'must'.

I used this oil two ways and definitely favoured it as an overnight treatment!

Overnight Hair treatment. This was the winner for me, for three reasons. 1. I felt my hair was actually nourished and absorbed the oil, 2. The texture I was left sleeping with was soft and didn’t bother me, and 3. My hair was so soft and hydrated the next morning when styling

At bedtime I applied about 3 pumps of oil to my ends, avoiding my scalp. I didn’t find there was a scent which I was quite happy about. In the morning I’d wake up and my hair felt oily but not terrible, and I’d shampoo/condition like normal. Afterwards my hair definitely felt nourished and softer than if I’d just used the shampoo/conditioner.

As a Hair Serum I used the oil daily on towel dried hair and also used it as a finishing balm, and with both uses they worked really well. My hair was definitely smoother and there was less dry end frizz. It’s not a heavy oil, so a little oil as a finishing balm definitely tamed the fly-aways and gave a little shine. It absorbed through the day, leaving my hair feeling lovely and soft, and not oily. You only need a tiny smidge for smoothing hair after styling.

The overnight hair mask was definitely the big win with this oil, but it is also a fabulous serum for wet hair. There’s a lot of product to the bottle, for a reasonable price, so it’s definitely a winner if you’re looking for a product that you can use as a hair treatment and a serum.

I’ve touched on the packaging last, because this is just a personal preference thing and not reflective of the products performance at all. The oil bottle is glass and fairly dense/heavy. It’s very elegant though. It has a pump dispenser that is perfect for dispensing just the right amounts of product. Not too generous and you don’t fire it all over the bathroom either. However, with it being glass, I have experienced first hand that if you handle it with residual hair oil on your hands and it slips from your grip and you drop it to the floor, you hold your breath and hope for a good outcome. Thankfully it didn’t smash (still not sure how) - by design or maybe by luck. The tiles are intact. But I’m just not a fan of glass with a house full of tiled floors and I know that’s not on the right side of the environmental thing – and I feel the guilt, but smashed glass is bad too! It’s the only down side to this product.

I'd happily buy this oil above other brands as it delivers at a great price, I just wish it wasn't glass or I was less clumsy.

Tips: Use sparingly! A little goes a long way.

Lovely

Smells soo good, this oil is a pretty prominent part of my hair care routine! I find it best to use while my hair is still damp.

Mmm coconut oil!

I luckily obtained this hair oil as part of the set of Elvive Extraordinary Oil products from L’Oreal. It is comes in the standard pump bottle and is a clear oil, like a lotion in texture and thickness. As usual it took me a while to get the pump to work but once I did I was off and running.

The scent is remarkable – just gorgeous with a strong coconut undertone. I have shoulder length, dry hair, and I'm always on the lookout for good hair products and use heaps of them. I’ve used a lot of different oils and this one is definitely among the best. It says it is for weightless nutrition, satin shine, and perfect manageability. I’d say it meets that claim.

The directions say to rub 2 or 3 precious drops between the palms to warm the oil then apply evenly to the lengths and ends of wet or dry hair. I’ve been applying it to wet hair, as I prefer to use it that way. It makes my hair a little more conditioned at the ends and less inclined to frizz or fly-away. I feel that it is providing nutrition to the dry ends. It is very light and doesn’t leave my hair looking greasy.

My favourite oil is the L’Oreal Elvive extraordinary hair oil so it’s not surprise that I love this one so much as it is very similar.

At $19.99 for the 100ml bottle, I think this is a great buy. I will repurchase and recommend it to anyone who wants to improve the look and feel of their hair.

Tips: Warm between your palms and apply to the ends of your hair. Massage the remaining oil into your hands for soft scented skin.

Hair Oil

Much like all the other products in this line, this smells amazing Comes in a sleek glass gold bottle (or feels like glass) the pump itself is great as it allows you do to full or half pumps dependent on what you need so there is no wasted product.

I used this once on towel dried hair before blow drying and my hair was amazing, it didn't feel weighted down in the slightest, smoothed out my fly aways, however i used this on a different occasion when my hair was already dried and i used it after i had straightened my hair it worked great did all the same things, smoothed out my hair, frizz control etc however my hair was left feeling oil and greasy which i didn't particularly like.

I used this on the mids to ends of my hair both times. i only used 1-2 pumps each time I tried it and i felt like i was able to work it through very easily, a little definitely goes a long way.

Tips: Definitely use on wet/towel dried hair

I believe the title entices you to want to buy.

I was very excited to receive this is the mail!!! First thoughts: it smells amazing!!!! Having very dry damaged hair this product was a absolute life saver! The first time I tried it I used it as it say a pre shampoo treatment applying 2-5 pumps through my hair leaving for about 10-15 mins, shampooed our and my hair was soft and silky! I also applied 1 pump through damp hair and blow waved smooth, it left my hair so shiny and frizz free,

It is a heavy oil, so I found in my hair (lots of fine hair) 1 application was more than enough at once, It got very greasy if I put it on wet to blow wave and then finished with in on dry hair! I think with the product we need to remember LESS IS MORE

Tips: Being a heavy oil I would recommend this more to people with thicker coarser hair, however I feels it did leave my hair super soft and shiny with minimal product! So great value for money for finer hair , also would recommend to anyone with very dry damaged long hair! Especially using it as your pre shampoo treatments and smoothing frizz.
