Inexpensive and pretty effective

I have very thick, curly, long hair, and it's naturally dry and goes frizzy and fluffy super quickly, so if I want more shiny, defined curls I have to use some sort of leave-in conditioner and/or conditioning styling mousse. This means I've tried A LOT of leave-in products, and for me, this L'Oreal leave-in oil-cream is one of the better ones. I like the packaging, as it's easy to squeeze out the exact amount of product I want. The consistency is a lovely lightweight gel-cream, and like the rest of the Extraordinary Oil range, it smells gorgeous. I apply it with my fingers from mid-length to the ends, and it slips beautifully through my hair, and then I just scrunch it gently, so I don't know how it would perform if you blow-dried. The first time I tried it, I used a big dollop of product, thinking I needed that much to cope with the thickness and length of my hair (I usually need more product than suggested), but it made my hair feel a bit tacky once dry. When I used a smaller amount, the result was so much better; my hair felt smoother and looked more moisturised, and my curls looked a bit more glossy and defined. I wouldn't say it utterly transformed my hair, but my hair definitely looked and felt nicer than if I didn't use anything. What I finally ended up doing was using the oil-in-cream first, then adding a small amount of styling mousse as well. This combination worked really well for me. So, all up, at that price point, I'm happy to buy it again, as it seems to do a decent job of nourishing my hair and improving my curls. I think if you had naturally straighter hair, it could be brilliant. I'm still looking for the perfect leave-in treatment for curls that hydrates, shines, defines and gives a bit of hold - all without feeling heavy or tacky on my hair... Possibly a bit unrealistic, but hey, you never know!

Tips: Use less than you think!

Not Sure What This Does?

I bought the shampoo and conditioner in this range so thought I should get the leave in creme treatment hoping to oomph the results so to speak.

I'm actually not sure what this is supposed to do if I'm honest? It states that it is a nourishing leave in treatment but I don't actually think it did anything to my hair other than what the conditioner did.

It comes in the same sleek, golden packaging as the shampoo and conditioner, only difference is this one comes in a squeezy tube, which is great as the product comes out easily. But then again, so did the shampoo and conditioner. I guess they need to have all 3 products with a slightly different design to make it easier to differentiate between the three.

It smells nice just like the shampoo and conditioner does but like its siblings, it really didn't do anything for my hair. Just made it look and feel clean but there was nothing extraordinary about any of the three.

I wouldn't buy them again unfortunately.

Tips: Like the conditioner, I also use this a shaving cream, works really well if it doesn't do anything for your hair.

...leaves a healthy shine

I have a pixie/bob cut, so not too much hair, but with short cuts it takes a bit of styling, so my hair needs the extra nourishment.

I bought this as my hair was feeling especially dry and I was curious how a oil/crème leave in would work. I've been really impressed.

The tube is fairly generous in size and the consistency of the crème itself is quite light, so it spreads nicely through the hair. Having short hair I only needed a pea size amount, so the tube will last a really long time.

When drying and styling I've found my hair looks less frizzy, and has a little more shine, and feels really nice and soft. Overall it took care of the dryness I was getting from styling. I really liked this product, it seems like a nice balance of an oil and a conditioning cream. It didn't leave my hair oily at all, just nicely conditioned and soft...

Good one, thank you. My hair is fragile so I need good products to keep it in line.

I really like it Maree - it’s lighter than usual leave-ins with the oil component. Best price I’ve found is at The Warehouse - that whole Extraordinary range is a good price there :)

Stops the little fly away hairs

Really love this product. I have quite thin hair and get those little fly away hairs, this cream really does moisturise my hair and stops the fuzzy hair. It smells lovely too. I was a bit worried using an oil as my hair can be oily but it did not affect that at all, quite impressed.
