In Detail Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oleo Complexe Review

This is one of those products that I cannot live without. I mean I have naturally frizzy curly hair which tend to go on the drier side. I do not suffer from any major hair issues as such because of my hair pamper routine however I do wish I had lesser curly hair. I came across this product approximately a year and a half ago and since then this has seriously been the elixir for my hair.

It comes in a very pretty bottle with golden diamond reflections of the label. Makes it looks rather classy. Has a pump dispenser on top. The product in itself is a very clear serum. Has a slightly thick consistency however it is not at all greasy. My hair is till my belly button now and I need 2 pumps of it per usage. I use this every time I wash my hair. I spread it on my palms and work it in the lengths of my hair from my ears till the hair ends. I do not apply it on my scalp because I believe that the natural oils that the scalp produces are enough to keep the hair moisturized around the roots.

Kerastase elixir ultime has an immediate calming effect on my manes without making my hair feel oily or greasy. It makes so much easier for me to run my fingers through the lengths of my hair. My hair appears less dry and more nourished. This reduces frizz and has a smoothening effect on my manes. The effects last for about 2 days. I usually was my hair every 2 or 3 days. Now this does not have any permanent repairing or smoothening effect. All these effects are temporary until the next wash.

I still feel it’s a huge plus point how incredibly this product works in taming down my frizzy hair. I am not a person too much into using hot tools on my hair and this product works wonderfully in making my hair look decent. Only the beauties with curly long hair would understand how difficult it gets to manage hair but trust me this baby has won my heart. I suppose you guys must go ahead and give this is a try. It is on the costly side but it lasts for a long time. I mean 1 bottle lasts me more than 6 to 7 months and that makes it worth spending the money on.
