ORI LAB Gloss Smoothing Hair Serum for Dry, Dull Hair, 3.4 fl oz

Alright, fellow sufferers of dull, lifeless hair, gather 'round, because I need to talk about the Gloss Serum 100ml. My hair has, for most of its existence, resembled a tumbleweed that lost a fight with a static balloon. It's been sad, it's been lackluster, and frankly, it's been an embarrassment to my otherwise sparkling personality. I've tried everything. Expensive oils that smelled like a salad bar, sprays that left my hair feeling like a crunchy helmet, and even just giving up and wearing a hat indoors. Nothing worked. My hair remained resolutely un-glossy. Then came this little bottle of magic. "Nourishing Hair Shine Serum," it promised. I was skeptical, of course. My hair has heard promises before. But I squeezed a tiny, pea-sized amount onto my palm (and I mean pea-sized, this stuff is potent, don't get greedy) and ran it through my strands. The transformation was immediate. My hair, which typically absorbs light like a black hole, suddenly decided to reflect it. And not just reflect it, but bounce it, shimmer it, and possibly even laser-beam it. I walked into the kitchen, and my husband genuinely squinted. "Are you... glowing?" he asked. Yes, dear, yes I am. It's not a halo, it's just my hair finally living its best, shiniest life. I've been wearing it for a few days now, and the compliments are rolling in. People are asking what I've done differently. I just smile mysteriously and say, "Oh, nothing, just feeling particularly radiant today." They don't need to know my hair is now basically a highly effective solar panel. The best part? It's not greasy! My biggest fear was looking like I'd just dunked my head in a vat of olive oil. But no, it's light, it absorbs beautifully, and leaves behind only glorious, blinding shine. My only complaint is that I now feel obligated to wear sunglasses indoors, just to protect others from the sheer brilliance emanating from my scalp. And I might need to invest in some strategically placed mirrors to ensure my enemies are properly dazzled. In conclusion, if your hair needs a serious glow-up and you're not afraid of potentially causing temporary blindness, get this serum. My hair has officially transitioned from "dull" to "disco ball," and I couldn't be happier. Five stars, would repurchase even if it meant I had to wear a welding mask.

This serum works really well at taming my very frizzy and often untamable hair. It adds noticeable shine without feeling heavy, and it doesn’t weigh down my hair or make it greasy. A little goes a long way, and I like using a small amount on damp hair before blow-drying for the best results. After application, my hair is much less frizzy and it is soft and feels great. The only downside is the floral scent. It’s strong and not my favorite, and while I can tolerate it, it might be too much for some people. Still, this product actually works and it delivers great results. I would buy this again in the future.

This serum gives a nice soft glow and helps bring the hair together especially when it is frizzy or dry. I like applying it while my hair is still a bit damp since it spreads more evenly that way. If I wait until it is completely dry it tends to absorb unevenly and can end up looking a little greasy in spots. You do not need much a little goes a long way. I even use a tiny bit on my beard when it feels rough from coloring which adds a nice sheen. That is actually my favorite way to use it, and I think products like this could be truly unisex and not just aimed mainly at women. I also appreciate that ORI Lab seems to care about its ingredients. It is a thoughtful blend of science and nature with nourishing oils like marula and camellia plus vitamin E and fatty acids for softness. The lightweight silicones help add shine and smoothness without feeling heavy. A couple things to keep in mind it is safe for most people when used as directed but the fragrance allergens might irritate sensitive skin. And honestly the scent is a major downside for me it is way too strong and actually stinks. It feels old fashioned/grandma and totally unnecessary. Also if you are environmentally conscious note that the silicones are not biodegradable.

I have shoulder length 3a curly hair that tends to be a little frizzy, so I'm always on the lookout for products that are safe for curls that can help me tame my fly-aways. I've used other gloss serums in the past and liked the results but not some of the ingredients, so I was excited when I came across this Nourishing Hair Shine Gloss Serum by Ori Lab. It combines the benefits of a gloss serum without the use of Parabens and SLS/SLES, which I really try to avoid to protect my curls. The product itself is very thick and a little bit goes a long ways. I've used it on both wet and dry hair and dry works best for me. I put one pump of product into the palm of my hand, rub my hands together and then lightly disperse the warmed up gloss throughout my hair. I can immediately feel the texture of my hair soften and it leaves my hair feeling so silky. It does ad a tiny bit of shine, but I think the shine would show up more on long, straight hair. One thing to note is if I use too much, it can make my otherwise dry hair look oily and greasy, so there is a fine line when using it. I notice a lot of people comment of the scent of the product. In my opinion, the scent is a oddly pleasant blend between baby powder and a floral arrangement, so I'm not sure why so many people are really put off by it. The scent doesn't bother me at all, but the price does. At $38, I feel its a little expensive so I'm not sure I'll reorder at this price after I use all the remaining product in this jar.

I’ve been using this for 2 weeks and am loving the results. I have problem hair that is increasingly dry and brittle due to age and the dry climate I live in. Finding a product that helps in any way is a winner in my book. This serum has been amazing and worked far better than I imagined it would. What first surprised me is that it doesn’t take much and I am able to work it through the areas that need it the most - which, with my current condition is the ends and up to just above my shoulders. I put a small amount into my palm and rub my hands together gently, to get it warmed and spread so it is easier to apply. It really works well doing this and, after I run my hands through my hair, I use a gentle brush to help distribute it more evenly. My hair has never maintained the manageability that it does since using this. I would always get tangles in the back, near my neck, from contact with my car seat, work chair, you name it - anything that came into contact with it. Since I’ve been using this, I rarely get any tangles and what I do get, is easily worked out just with a quick finger comb through. 5/5 for effectiveness, ease of use, and I will say value in that I am able to use this sparingly so, I feel it will last a long time. Based on how well it performs for me, I would buy it again, especially if there is a discount available.

This is a relatively small bottle, but it really doesn’t take much. I have straight, waist length, fine hair, and this serum does a great job of helping make it manageable with very little, if any, frizz or fly aways that I normally have. I love the pump. It helps ensure that I don’t go crazy and use too much. I just pump a small dot of serum onto my hand and work it through my damp hair. I do that for each side, so a total of 2 small dots of serum. I then proceed to dry my hair using a Dyson Airwrap. The results are nice. My hair is smooth and shiny, and the ends look healthy when I’m finished. This is definitely not an unscented product. I can’t say that I hate the smell. It has a light, sort of candy sweet, slightly floral, smell to me, but it doesn’t seem to mix well with the scent of my shampoo. I can’t say that the smell lasts very long, but I could just be getting used to it. I asked a friend to smell my hair, and she said she didn’t like the smell. She said that it wasn’t a bad smell, just not something she liked. She also assured me that she couldn’t smell it until she had my hair right under her nose. Considering I don’t want to walk around smelling bad I was at least comforted by that. Hahaha To be fair, I have no way of knowing what she’s smelling. It could be my shampoo, the serum or the mixture of both, or even her hand cream for that matter. Overall, I really like the product. The smell isn’t a deal breaker for me, but for the price I would much prefer something that was either truly unscented or something that smells really nice. I’m on the fence as to whether I’ll purchase again. The great hair results that I get may outweigh the price and smell. I guess I’ll have to wait and see.

This is a really nice hair gloss. It has a strong floral scent but I didn't mind it. A very small amount works well and goes a long way. I didn't find it too heavy it added some softness and shine when I ran some through my hair. I think it's a really nice product but it is a bit on the high end of price I would want to pay for this kind of product.

When I went to use this on my hair, it's a very thick oily almost sticky texture. Had to reread the label for accidentally soap or something else. I normally use oils like this for after I curl my hair, but I just don't think you can with this specific oil. This one you will have to put in your hair and rinse out before you go anywhere
