My hair felt like silk. I let my boyfriend feel it and he was floored (dare I say turned on) by the silkiness. And he's not one to give compliments just because I solicited them. Here's the low down:PROS:*It can be used several ways: -Pre-wash to remove impurities. -Pre-blow dry or flat iron as a heat protector -Post-dry/flat iron to smooth, soften and shine -As a hot oil treatment*The dispenser -- it twists to open and close, to prevent leaks/spills and pumps out small dabs of product, the perfect amount (unlike MorocconOil, which spills out wastefully)*It smells good. I'm not in love with the smell, but my hairdresser and sister-in-law went ga-ga for it.*It doesn't discolor blonde hair (at least, I haven't noticed it has... | | | | | ***SEE UPDATED REVIEW AFTER ORIGINAL REVIEWORIGINAL REVIEW:This is a miracle product. I don't say that lightly. Having tried hundreds of hair products, this is THE ONLY ONE that I have reserved the word miracle for. Go look through my reviews... I'm a pretty tough reviewer.I had read about this product in a women's magazine, but did not buy because of the price. But someone bought this for me, and am I glad they did. My hair has made a 360 degree turnaround. People are asking what I have done to my hair --- it looks that great.I have wavy, color treated hair that is prone to frizz. My hair is a bit longer than shoulder length. This product manages my hair, makes it tame and GLISTEN.The product does not come with instructions, which I find puzzling. So I went to the Kerastase website to figure out how to use. You can use this product many ways:As a pre-treatment: apply to hair before shampooAfter shampoo, while... | | | | | I love Amazon and have gotten all my previous bottles of Ultime here. But the last bottle of Elixir Ultime I was recently given as a gift (bought from Amazon) wasn't quite right. Either it had been in the warehouse way past its' expiration date or the seller ( this is just a hunch, I have NO proof of any of this) diluted the mixture with something else. It felt too thick and the scent was off. Usually it smells terrific but this bottle smelled too chemical-ly and like it had gone... bad. For the heck of it, I checked on the Kerastase site to see how much more it would be to buy from them directly and it wasn't too terrible, about $10-15 more than Amazon.com prices with shipping. Not great, but since I only buy one of these bottles a year, I am willing to pay the extra $15 bucks for the real deal instead of risking $45 on something that may have gone rancid and I'll have to throw away, just to save that $15. | | | |
