Blimey, swishy gorgeous hair miracle for under a tenner!

[caution]

I bought L'oreal Elvive's Extraordinary Oil the other day and it is without a doubt one of the best hair products I've ever used.

I actually bought it on my lunch hour and curiously ran a blob through my windswept unbrushed hair when I got back to my desk (just to check out the smell and texture rather than actually trying to improve the look of my hair given that I was busy eating doughnuts working at the time) - and it just seemed to instantly fall into this glossy look. I've used oils before and often found them to be a bit greasy and to weigh my hair down but this seems much lighter without losing its power/ effect iyswim?!

I've sinced used it properly and people keep asking me what I've done to my hair as its in such good condition.

They have it in Tesco on offer @ £3.29 or £3.79 at the moment and the Loreal smoothing shampoo is 2 for £5 along with the conditioner.
I bought it yesterday and today have swishy shiny hair ... thanks OP

sorry Purpleknickers what is on offer in Tesco? am confused

I think Elvive and Kerestase are the same thing
Just repackaged for different purses

Loreal Elvive shampoo and conditioner and the argan oil serum ..sorry for confusion

I tried the liquid gold argan oil for £5, did nothing!
Probably using it wrong or something?

It was tresemme thought, maybe a different formula?

I have just switched from the Kerastase ELixir to the Loreal one on advice of my new hairdresser (who sell's Kerastase products)

She said it's exactley the same - and I can't notice a difference

Krumbum - You may like the Organix Coconut Milk. I have hair that sucks up all moisture but it's easy to suddenly go ott. The milk you can massage in when wet and I find it gives a nice, light, even coverage. In then use an oil / serum on the ends if they're misbehaving.

I've been using the Elvive shampoo and conditioner with the argon oil and like it. I've kept with it through a few bottles now. It's not so bad at giving my hair that wierd coating that makes it go frizzy even when it tells me it's meant to tame.

It does have silicone in it - and alcohol which I found out on a stingy little cut!

I have thick long straight hair and I really like the l'oreal oil. Got it in boots for £6.
I would deffo buy again.
I have been using it on wet hair. Then blow drying

Hmm reading with interest, I've used Moroccan oil for about a year now and the difference it made was amazing! Prior to this I used Avon dry ends restructuring serum & John Frieda sheer blonde spotlight glosser (obviously discontinued as are all the greatest JF products) which wasn't a patch on the M.O, however now finances are slim I will try the loreal one, thanks for the recommendation :)

I'm halfway through a bottle of loreal mythic oil, which I love, but is v spensive. Would be interested to hear if anyone heas used both of these products and how different they are.

Would be great to find a cheaper alternative.

I found the mythic oil exactly the same as this l'oreal one no good for my hair - very very thick naturally curly/wavy hair. Sorry!!

I've tried the v05 oil and Amargan oil - both have silicones and did absolutely SFA for my thick curly frizzy mop. I've also tried the Organix Argan oil shampoo and conditioner, which did nothing. As a last resort (before going to the hairdresser to cut my hair short, it really was in that bad condition - well, naturally coarse hair which cant get enough msture) I bought Holland & Barrett pure Argan oil (£12.99 - no silicones) to seal the ends before styling. I only need one drop. What a difference, my porous hair drinks up the oil and for the first time this year, I have moisturised looking hair. This oil has transformed my hair completely and I was beginning to think nothing could make my long locks look half decent!

Sorry, I posted this q upthread but if anyone knows - can you use eg argan oil then straighten with ghd's? Worried I'll fry my hair

ifanyone knows the answer!

Interesting, my hair is a permanent disaster. Going to have a look at this.

It's on offer in boots for the ominous price of £6.66 atm.

I've got really crappy dry but very fine hair. Will it weigh it down and make it lank?

I have very greasy hair - needs washing on a daily basis. Can I try oil treatments or should I avoid like the plague?

I'm a bit pissed off that it's so cheap in UK - it's 15 euros here in France, and L'Oreal is a French company!

Dove nourishing hair therapy express treatment conditioner with argen oils is brilliant too.
I have permed and coloured hair and it conditions it a treat.
I dont usually like Dove but this was on offer so I gave it a go.
It's grand.
So will put OU of my mind their Heidi's adverts and faux concern about 'real women' out of my head for now

Yes you can GHD'D your hair I wouldn't 't leave stage house otherwise as I'd look like I'd plugged my finger on an electric socket after drying otherwise!! I was everonr's 'hair envy' at 15 when everyone was back combing like mad to get big hair, ideas trying to flatten if!!!

If that makes sense, combination of eye op can only see out of obs eye and can't see what blasted auto spell is spelling

Can anyone who has used any of these products confirm if they have fine hair prone to greasiness? And was it ok?

I find myself drawn to this thread...going to try this, thanks
