L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut Oil Reviews

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.

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!

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!

Once again super excited to be reviewing this range. The bottle is a really generous 100ml and is glass. It has a good pump on it so thats good to not get too much into your hand as we all know too much oil is never a good thing. Its got the same yummy coconut smell that this range is doing so well with and it feels nice and lightweight. Ive used it a few times on dry and wet hair and to style with. My favourite is on dry hair as then you can see if you've put enough on as with wet hair its harder to tell. The second time i used it i put a couple of pumps into my hand and rubbed hands together and applied it over my already straightened hair and it just made it feel so soft and luxurious, this lasted all day so its a definite keep for me. Ive used it on my hair wet also and it makes your hair nice and soft once its dry but i think the benefits would take longer to see. Im really impressed with the smell and how lightweight it is so would definitely recommend it. It says on the bottle you can use it before shampooing for a deep treatment so i might try this down the track. Although that kinda feels like a waste in my mind :)

The L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut hair oil is a good basic styling oil which will last for ages.

This hair oil is pretty light compared to others that I have used in the past. There is only a slight coconut scent - which is lovely. It is good for adding shine and taming fly-aways when finishing off a hairstyle.

I would have loved it more if it was also a heat protectant but that would cost a lot more.

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.

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.

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.

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.
