    Let me begin with the positives: 1) The product really works. It does exactly what it claims to without being too grasy (just don't overdo it.) 2) The smell is divine. I think the smell...

    I didn't find a major difference between this and other serums, and in fact, I have better results with a bottle of Monoi oil. Just a drop too much of this and your hair hangs limp and greasy, as...

    This is my HG serum to use when I air-dry my hair. I add 2 dime-sized drops to my leave-in conditioner (pairs great with Kiehl's) & apply to soaking wet hair. Kills frizz, adds heaps of shine,...

    "Aveda Light Elements Smoothing Fluid is 1/3 of what Brillant Emollient is". That is what an instructor at the Aveda Institute told me. Therefore, those w/ thicker, coarse, just more texture hair...

    I got it mainly because my hair stylist used it on me and I liked the shine. But the worst part for me is- its consistency/oil attracts the smell of air polution if you know what I mean. I'll...

    I've kept a pump bottle of this on hand for about a year now. I'm very picky about my silicone serums-- I like them very thin, very light... and this one fits the bill nicely. It has that great...

    Typical Aveda scent- which is absolutely amazing IMO.. can't get enough of it! Leaves my curly hair frizz free and shiny, or when straight it's still great to use.. No doubt- it's expensive! But...

    Expensive, yes, but I just couldn't resist. I love the smell, and it just makes the hair feel so wonderfully soft. I use it at the end, before hairspray, on straight hair, and after everything on...

    This is a wonderful shine serum with an intoxicating scent. Expensive, but I had a $50 gift certificate so this was one of my choices. I do like the fact that it's light and does not weigh my...

    Eh...a so-so product that's really expensive. What's the point? You put it on, and there's really not much of a difference. Your hair won't look all glossy or shine more. It's just a big "Meh"....
