Review of Kerastase Elixer Ultime Hair Oil.

When I found out that my ultimate hair crush Blake Lively uses hair products from Parisian hair care brand Kerastase I knew I had to try out some of their products. As hair oils are all the rage at the moment and after not being overly impressed with Moroccon Oil and other drug store dupes, I felt that it was only right to try out the Kerastase version.
Now let me start by saying that this product is not cheap it costs £34.50 for 125mls. However I would stress that a bottle of this product will last at least 6-9 months as you only need an almond drop amount for thick hair (like mine) and even less for finer hair. I have very thick highlighted hair. My hair is constantly drying out with my ritual of coloring,  blow drying and straightening. When I had tried Moroccon oil I was hoping for a shine miracle but instead was faced with a greasy disaster. After seeing Blake in many a magazine I knew it was time for a hair oil change.
Kerastase claim that this oil is the alchemy of four precious oils to beautify hair. And that:
  • With a few drops of Elixer Ultime hair feels silky and weightless, as if transformed.
  • Applied before cleansing, hair feels instantly nourished.
  • Applied before styling, hair feels incredibly supple and is protected.

The oils contained in the product are Pracaxi oil, Argan oil, Maize oil and Camellia oil. Kerastase claim that all four oils are super beneficial for hair health. Why I would repurchase this product:

  • I have been using this product for four months daily and have not even used a quarter of the bottle yet. 
  • This oil is multipurpose it protects, aids styling and improves general hair health.
  • It leaves my hair super shiny without being heavy. I do NOT feel like I have any product in my hair.
  • It calms my frizziness and helps my hair to sit nicely. I normally have serious frizz issues.
  • My hairdresser (who did not advise me to try the oil) agrees that my general hair condition has improved massively.
  • I do feel that my hair is now glossy.
This has became one of my core hair products. I do feel that the price tag is steep and I am not a huge fan of the scent, but this is definitely the best hair oil I have tried. I would rate it 8/10. The products is available from:                                www.feelunique.com (They sell it for 15% off at £29.35)
www.lookfantastic.com (They sell it for £34.50)
I hope you agree that my hair considering that it is heavily highlighted does have a reasonable shine to it.

Love Abi xxxx
