What the gurus are saying

Heat protection and dramatic frizz reduction were the standout results here, particularly in dry climates and as a blowout primer. A little goes a long way - one pump primes most hair - and leaves it smooth, shiny, and highly manageable without greasiness. The fragrance is strong and long-lasting, worth noting if you're scent-sensitive. Some valued its heat-protecting and frizz-fighting performance; others found it a fine basic smoothing serum.

"The one I use has fragrance, but they have a fragrance-free hair silicone hair serum as well. Really good, performed amazingly for me actually in a desert climate where deserts in my hair it's a mess. [...] My hair was amazing in Palm Springs. [...] That's when I was using the Paul Mitchell Super Serum a lot there, when I first discovered it and I still use it quite a bit now. But I don't use it every single day. I use it a couple of days a week. Gets pretty heavy."

Dermatologist’s Top Hair Care Favorites of 2025
"This is actually for heat styling. It's a heat protectant and it helps your hair dry faster as well. It's an excellent blowout primer. It has a really strong fragrance that does last. I love the scent, but just a word of warning. It works not only to provide heat protection if you're going to heat style your hair, but it really helps cut down on frizz tremendously. A little bit, however, goes a long way. So, for me, I just use one pump and I'm good."
Dermatologist Reviews Garnier Fructis Diamond Sleek: Is It Worth It?
"I've also used it alongside the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Hair Serum. And of course, I've used it by itself, too, and it performs well in all conditions without making my hair look greasy or heavy. And I don't even remember that I have that product on there other than the pleasant aroma."
Layering Sunscreen, Hypochlorous Spray, & Vitamin C: Dermatologist Explains
"I get a couple of pumps of the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum and I put that about from here down. And then I comb all of that through and I pin it up loosely. So just so it's off my face, chill, relax, unwind for the evening. A couple of hours go by, I'm ready to actually get in bed. Then I put a satin or silk bonnet over my head, over my hair, and I sleep with that."
