I have high expectations for this product because of previous reviews which I have read and it is really no secret that the Kérastase Oleo-Relax Fluide is quite expensive. My initial impression was this is the holy grail for frizzy, dry, damaged, and uncooperative hair which by the way is the state of my hair resulting from hair rebonding, permanent hair coloring, and other unhealthy hair regimen. This may no longer sound ground-breaking but I am pleased to confirm that this product definitely lives up to the hype and in fact exceeded my expectations. Allow me to rave why. First, the consistency of the product is neither greasy nor sticky. At first, it seemed to be oily but once I applied to my hair, it’s fully absorbed by the hair strands, leaving no icky aftermath on my hands. Also, the scent is barely there and not overpowering at all. I first applied it on my towel-dried hair before blow-drying on moderate heat and I must admit it does not look promising at first when the hair is wet. The magic happens when the hair is fully dried. After blow-drying, I noticed the frizz has been minimized and my hair in general have an acquired softness which is neither limp nor puffy-looking. With this product, my hair is easier to style using my paddle brush and neatly sets my hair as well when used as a hair serum as a final touch. I cannot vouch for the long-term effects of this product since I have only been using it for 4 days but I’m a happy camper for now and I would say my hair prep time has been reduced considerably with the use of the Kérastase Oleo-Relax Fluide. Overall, I would give this product 5 out of 5 stars and I would recommend this for those who are not scrimping in taming their hair.

I enjoyed using Kerastase Oleo-Relax for so many reasons. For someone like me who have a dry thick hair, the product really did its wonders by making my hair shiny (but not to the point of making it look oily). Also, unlike other brands, when you pour some on your palm and rub it on your hair, you'll notice that the hair will absorb all the oil - there won't be a hint of it on your hands ergo, nothing is wasted. Lastly, I just have to say that I love the smell of this product. I give it a thumbs up!

My hair is oily, frizzy, wavy, and looks like badly needed to get a make-over. :( i just received my sample earlier and i immediately tried it! Well, not really. I put a bit on my palm first and sniff it.. *grins* It smells lovely! Not the regular scent of local "hair shine" i've used before, nor the baby smell of baby oil. It is something you would want your hair to smell like :) somehow fruity.. I'm not really sure :) then after the sniffing session, i put some on my hair, concentrating on the roots. And voila! I looked like a "new me". It didn't made my hair look straighter, but made it shiny, manageable, and really smooth! What i also like about this is it didn't aggravate the oiliness of my scalp/hair even if i put a lot, plus even after 8 hours of use, my hair still looked good! I will definitely buy the full size as my christmas gift! Thank you sample room!

To be honest, I've already tried this product a long time ago and I still have 2 Kerastase Grand Cru oils/ serum with me but this size is too cute to not claim. It's perfect for my travel kit! With regards to it's quality, the serum is just right for my hair type. I don't think this is enough for those who have bleached hair though since it wasn't able to tame mine back when I still had ombre hair dye. Nevertheless, I still claimed it because I chopped off all the bleached parts of my hair and I love the light scent of the oil.

Man, this is good hair stuff! I'm using it everyday after bath. It's not oily nor heavy. It smoothens my long, dry, coarse hair instantly. This serum would hold my natural curls all day. The scent is a plus plus. Would definitely repurchase. Price is no longer a problem since I would be sharing this good stuff with my wife.

To give you a background, my hair is currently digital-permed, slightly unruly and frizzy when I don't apply any kind of serum or mousse. What I like about this product is first, its light floral scent that's not too overpowering, second, it is light and non-greasy when applied and third, it made my hair less frizzy. What's preventing me from buying this product is its expensive price, I believe you can find a lot of other less expensive serums in the market that has the same effectiveness as this product. Overall, I am satisfied with it.

This is the only serum that can tame my long and thick dry hair. Texture is thin and a little oily but as you apply the product on your hair, it wont feel greasy nor weigh down the hair. Smells great too! Will totally say goodbye to the product I used before this one. Around 3-4 pumps of this serum can make wonders instantly to my hair. It makes hair smooth and shiny, you'll definitely get what you paid for!

Why Kerastase is a salon favorite is no longer a mystery to me. I'm usually a scrunchie girl, thanks for a hair that expands into a pyramid after drying. I used Kerastase Oleo-Relaxe Fluide and my first reaction was wow, it doesn't smell or feel like a regular serum at all! After blowdrying, my hair instantly felt soft and smooth to touch, frizz-free and yes, relaxed :) Happy to say I didn't use a scrunchie for a whole day! I'd like to buy this product in the future but I might also buy other Kerastase products knowing that it's a brand to trust!

I've been so excited about this product ever since it hit the market but the price broke my heart. I've been saving up since and I've finally bought it! I haven't received my sample yet but I was so excited for the product that I've bought it in full size after hearing what people had to say. (I couldn't wait for the sample to arrive, it's taking too long. :()The texture is nice like most have already said and the hair can easily absorb all the oil and a little amount goes a long way. My hair feels so nice and looks so shiny after application and the frizz goes away immediately. I don't use it with heat styling equipment as it says in the back because I always rush in the morning to make it in time for school but my hair stays the same way even when I commute. The only negative thing I can say is that by the end of the day frizz would start to show though my hair still feels so smooth. No worries though because I didn't blow dry my hair anyway! Would try next time. :)

Just a background: I have long, straight hair and I guess I can say that my hair is normal to dry. Never been treated nor colored. I only use shampoo and conditioner, and I don't have a habit of brushing my hair repeatedly throughout the day. My hair's kind of frizzy, but not excessively so. Oh, and I never dry my hair with a blower or an electric fan. I just let it dry naturally.

I used the serum once or twice everyday for four days/nights: usually once after I take a shower and another sometime mid-day, or roughly about 12 hours or so. Here's what I noticed:

First thing, the floral smell: I like how it does not smell medicinal or chemical. Also, the mild scent does not affect whatever fragrance you are wearing, which is a plus for people who like wearing perfumes or EDTs on a regular basis.

Next, the consistency: it is oily. And when I say oily, I literally mean like cooking oil! It lacks the slight viscosity of the serums that I am used to seeing and using. What I do like about this is that even though it is very thin, I am still able to spread it out, coating a lot of hair without pumping more than once (twice, if half-pumped).

Finally, the effect: While the consistency is very oily, once it's applied on the hair it's absorbed immediately. No oily look, just a healthy shine. It definitely makes the hair less frizzy, but I am extremely happy this does not weigh down the hair too much (just be careful not to apply too much!). I am glad to announce that after using this, my hair looks like it has been blow dried.

All in all, this is a very effective serum that works for those with straight, low-maintenance hair like mine. I don't like fussing over my hair that much, so this serum works wonders on what I can never do to my hair: blow-dry it everyday. Sadly, I find this a little too expensive so I am unsure whether I may bring myself to buy it. I guess I will find out when I run out of this sample bottle. But if you have the budget, this is highly recommended as a staple in your vanity kit!

My hair has a coarse and thick texture that sometimes becomes frizzy. I'm so glad my daughter told me to sample this product! This product provides shine and it tames my tresses, without the icky, greasy, heavy feeling that I hate in other similar products I've tried. This product is effective for me and I would consider buying this, though the price is making me think twice.

Before trying this out I had been using an Argan oil based product on my hair and I thought it worked just fine, but I had heard so much about this particular product that I was so happy to see it offered as a sample here. It ended up outshining all other hair oils I've tried so far. I only use 1 pump since my hair isn't too dry. I run it through my hair starting at around the level of my ears and all the way down to the ends. I don't blow dry my hair everyday but when I tried applying this product before blow drying, the result was amazing! My hair felt super soft and the blowdrying really locked in the shine. It's also alright to use this sparingly on hair that has already dried. I do think I would repurchase this when my sample runs out. Very happy to have this in my life. :)

The fist thing I noticed is its delightful smell, I don't know how to describe it really; but it smells like an expensive perfume! It doesn't feel greasy at all, both on my hands and hair. It doesn't weigh down my hair either. One to two pumps and that enough already to cover my shoulder-length hair. It's the best hair serum I've tried! Will definately buy once I'm all out.

This product is excellent for someone like me who has dry frizzy hair♥ it helps me manage my hair by making it smooth. However, for those with thick air, you need 3 pumps instead of what is suggested at the back of the bottle. The smell is not overpowering. It is not greasy too! Highly recommended!♥

For a girl who has frizzy hair and is trying to stay away from chemical treatments from now on, serums are a must. I thank Sample Room for the opportunity to try Kerastase because I always see it at salons but I'm too intimidated to buy a big size immediately. One pump of product reveals an ritzy scent that reminds me of designer perfumes, and I find the feel of it on my hair to be light and not greasy at all.

All throughout the day I was happy because my hair felt really smooth and looked shiny. It looked very tamed and chic. I am now convinced that Kerastase has good products and will go to my nearest salon when this product is used up for a full size. I might also try the other products from the Oleo-Relax line.

I've been using this product for two days but it did very little to control my over-rebellious hair. I had high hopes for this because I've heard only great things. It smells great, though. I will try using it after straightening my hair, maybe it will work better that way. I'd recommend this to those with normal hair, as it can slightly tame the frizz. But for those with puffy hair like me, don't expect too much.

Smell is awesome. Light, and not distracting scent.

No allergic reactions, and I have a super sensitive scalp (and nose). I let my hair come in contact with my face (oily and super sensitive skin) and I had no bad reactions like pimples or rashes.

Unlike other leave-on serums, this one is very light. It won't weigh your hair down. I have dry, damaged hair that gets really oily and flat with some "nourishing" and "moisturizing" hair products. I didn't experience those with this product. Texture is a bit oily-fluidy but gets absorbed by damp hair very easily.

I guess it is kinda heat-activated since the instructions say you use it before blowdrying.

I thought it didn't work since my damaged ends didn't look "awesome" after blowdrying. Super damaged, flyaway bits were still super damaged, fly away bits. It was after a while (at most an hour, I think) before my hair became shiny and soft, with nice volume.

My hair becomes extra frizzy whenever I'm stressed. I've been through 2 sleepless, super stressful days, and my hair has never looked better. The fly away bits behaved themselves. This definitely passed the stress test, air-conditioned room test, and jeepney ride test.

The price is intimidating, but frankly, I'm tired of stressing over my hair aside from my work. You just need 2 pumps, which is like, more or less 3 drops of product.

I'm not sure if it's healing my hair. I'm not expecting it to, so this product is already awesome for me.

I tested this product on a non-conditioned, towel-dried hair. Texture is thin, light and oil-like but not greasy which made it very easy to apply evenly on hair. Immediately after using this, I noticed that my hair is smooth and can easily run through my fingers, fluffiness and frizz are tamed, yet it doesn't look or feel weighed-down. Midday, I tied my hair to a ponytail and it's still frizz-free and neat looking. Evening, it's still easy to brush through hair.

Today I tested it again this morning but this time using it with a blow-drier and hair looks much better. Reapplying half squirt on hair lengths and another half on ends at noon helps refresh the hair.

Overall, it's an effective product, it is pleasant to use, no tricks needed, unlike thick silicone serums i have tried. I am not sure if I would repurchase, primarily because of the price, I can't afford to use it everyday. But for those who can, this product will not dissapoint you.
