L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Hair Oil

Argh hair products are such a weakness of mine, oils, masks, treatments, fancy conditioners, I LOVE them all, so when this came in the ‘top rated’ BBBE it was naturally the first thing I tried. Especially since I love the shampoo, conditioner and mask in this range.

It comes in a big 100ml glass bottle with a pump top lid, the glass is a see through orange colour, it’s nice and slightly matches the rest of the range.

I pump out 4 pumps, I have very dry and damaged hair so I need loads of oil. I am so, so happy one of the reasons I love this range of products is the gorgeous scent it has and this is no different. It’s like a sweet musky/woody scent. Definitely my favourite hair care product scent. Anyway… the clear oil absorbs so easily into my hair, one minute it’s there and the next it’s gone.

Afterwards my hair feels silky soft and smooth with the gorgeous sweet scent wafting through the air. I have been applying this in damp, towel dried hair and in dry hair and I have noticed when I apply it to damp hair I still need to apply more once my hair is dry. It doesn’t leave my hair oily or greasy it’s so lightweight for an oil.

This is also great to apply just before I straighten my hair making it even more silky smooth and helps to tame any flyways. I will probably purchase again.

This is the only hair oil I have ever used which doesn't weigh down my hair or make it look greasy. I can honestly apply about 8 pumps (and I do, regularly, because my hair just drinks it up!) and I have no issues. I apply it to the ends and stroke the leftover oil onto the top, and it's gone! I use it on my hair when it's dry both morning and night, and still I've never got any oily build up. My hair is easier to control (I have mad thick, long, curly/wavey hair), softer and smoother. Only problem is a love it so much that I go through it faaaar too quickly haha but that's my doing, and at twenty bucks, I could have a much more expensive addiction. I will buy this for as long as they make it! Off to buy some more today!

I picked this up at the supermarket a wee while back for around $18 (on special) as I was in need of a hair serum for my hair which has been feeling quite dry and heat damaged lately.

The packaging is really nice and sophisticated, I like the glass bottle with the pump nozzle.

I apply 1-2 pumps of this to dry hair after washing and styling my hair and find that it calms down flyaways and makes my hair feel more soft and nourished.

The oil smells really nice and I always rub any excess into my hands and arms.

I would definintely repurchase this product although it will last me quite a while!

I thought this product was great used as a serum on my hair after straightening, it smoothed all my fly always and made my hair really shiny and the smell was devine. I tried it as a conditioning treatment but didn't like it as I found it a bit too heavy for my hair and made it greasy. Overall I thought it was great used mainly as a styling product, the only downside for me was the packaging, its in a glass bottle and I have kids so made sure I had it up high so they couldn't get their hands on it and possibly break it.

This is the best hair oil that I have tried (so far). My hair is quite frizzy when I have no products in it and haven't styled it. I comb this through my hair with my fingers when my hair is damp and then my hair dries with no frizz and is really soft. I also use it on dry hair when I have flyaway hairs that need smoothing down. This oils has a nice smell and is not too greasy like some hair oils can be. Be careful not to apply to much though or your hair may look greasy!

I gave this a try as my friend has some. My hair is quite thin and wavy, but rather split so I was hoping that it would make it look smooth and healthy, without leaving it looking super greasy at the end of the day. When I first put it in, it looked fantastic and was nice on my hair, smoothing it all down and it looked lovely for a few hours. However, by the end of the day it looked overly greasy/oily, even though I had only washed it in the morning. I would only use this if it was for an evening style that I could then wash after a few hours, not all day every day.

I had a farmers voucher and desperately needed something for my hair.

Usually I get the Garnier serum but decided to spend a little bit more on something.

I really liked the glass bottle because it made the product look expensive and it was clear so you could see what the product looked like.

It looked like a rich golden honey colour which attracted me because for some reason it just looked nourishing.

I purchased it for about $22 I think which I think is a bit expensive for what it is really. Ive used better oils that are alot cheaper.

The smell was pretty average and I liked the consistency of the product as it didn't feel to oily or thick for me.

My hair is very porous so it soaked all the product up immediately and it did an okay job of making my hair look shiny and smooth.

I probaly wouldn't rush out to buy this oil again but my hair did feel a bit more frizz free with it in.

Really good product. However I have extremely thick hair so have to use more then recommended amount. Love the smell doesn't leave hair greasy at all and people always comment on how good my hair smells. In my job my hair needs to smell good I am a nurse so nice smells are awesome and it doesn't affect any patients allergies

I used this on dry hair and as a deep conditioner. I have dry corse hair and this product instantly made my hair softer. I really do like using it on dry hair it leaves my hair soft and shiny. In terms of the deep conditioning treatment i find it works but not as well as i would like. Overall, i really like this product
