"It's not greasy at all, and it absorbs really quickly. So your hair feels soft without that heaviness of other hair oils. Price-wise, it is a little bit on the pricier side, but honestly, a little pump goes a long way. And it also doubles as a leave-in treatment or a finishing oil. I love it because it seriously makes my hair look like I just walked out of the salon. Like today, all I did was blow dry my hair and put on a little bit of oil, and this is the result."

"Heavily scented, but a nice scent. It performs similar if not a little bit better compared to that other one. I just heat it up a little bit in between my hands and then I take it to the damp ends. This [...] helps with manageability a little bit. It helps with shine. It cuts down on frizz for the ends, but it really just kind of takes the little split ends and kind of seals them together temporarily."

"I talk about a lot how I enjoy hair oil. So I bought this because I've heard good things about it. This Keristos Elixir Ultimate. And honestly, it's not bad, but it's also not [...] like wow worthy. [...] It's pretty good. I actually really like the scent. It's not super strong like hit you in the face. [...] This one's kind of got a nice fresh powdery aroma to it. Not like baby powder, but that kind of fresh, clean bath powder smell."

"This is one of my favorites, Kérastase Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale. This is actually great in the summer. It's pretty lightweight but it really does have a nice hydrating effect. You get a good smoothing effect, if you will, and diminishment of pores."

"I might pick up another one of these. It makes my hair a little bit more silky. It's slightly more heavy than the hair mask. It's good for when my roots have grown out because I have no volume. My natural hair just has no volume, the bleach gives it some volume, so when my hair is bleached I can get away with using something a little bit more moisturizing. The scent is kind of floral, it's kind of clean and floral but not in an annoying way and it doesn't linger too long."
