REVIEW: Kerastase Oleo Relax Slim

Halo!

I spend last Sunday in my sister's house, then I see this Kerastase on my sister's cabinet, I suddenly feel pushed to give review about this. I have used one bottle of this product maybe 3-4 years ago, and I have to say that I felt grateful I found this Oleo Relax Slim. 

Aku mulai coba-coba dye-ing rambut waktu awal kuliah, sekitar 5 tahun yang lalu, dan sebelumnya rambut aku virgin banget, I never follow trend straightening my hair, or curling it. Jadi sampe sekarang bener-bener chemical treat yang aku lakukan ke rambutku cuma hair coloring. Dari jaman SMA aku memang pingin ngewarnain rambut karna warna rambut asli aku ga hitam, tapi coklat nanggung gitu. Kalo kata ibu aku, rambut aku jaman TK dulu kaya rambut jagung :""

Tekstur rambut aku dari kecil itu kering, tipis banget sampe kulit kepala dulu keliatan (thanks to ibu yang rajin kasih lidah buaya ke rambut aku dulu), megar atau mengembang, lurus tapi ikal di bagian bawah, dan lama banget panjangnya tapi banyak tumbuh rambut yang menyebabkan banyak anak rambutnya. Nah, setelah aku ngewarnain rambut pertama dan kedua, rambut aku semakin parah. Jadi muncul split ends, semakin kering, dan semakin tidak terkontrol rambut yang fly-away. 

About the Products

This Oleo Relax Slim is from Oleo Relax range, targeted to dry and rebellious hair. It comes in a 200ml bottle. The website said that:

The crème Oléo-Relax Slim is a part of the Oléo-Relax Slim home care programme which offers:

• • Volume reduction
• • A nourished and smoothed hair substance
• • Discipline and anti-frizz / anti-swelling 24h protection. 

The claim on the product:

Volume control intense smoothing cream: Dry and very rebellious hair

Apply it on to towel dried length until ends, do not rinse. This is a leave-in treatment. Then style as usual.

My Thoughts

Teksturnya medium, dalam artian tidak terlalu rich, dan cukup ringan. Aku pake conditioner ini setelah aku blow dry, dengan harapan untuk menjinakkan rambut yang fly-away. Setelah aku aplikasikan produk ini, rambut terasa lebih lembut, dan terlihat lebih sleek. Sayangnya, setelah setengah hari, rambut "singa"ku kembali lagi. Jadi bisa dikatakan efeknya tidak tahan lama. TAPI, aku harus kasih "tapi" in capslock karena setelah aku menghabiskan satu botol leave-in conditioner ini, aku sadar bahwa split ends aku hilang. Rambutku benar-benar terasa dan terlihat jauh lebih sehat. Creme ini tidak bisa membantu rambut fly-away-ku tapi dia jelas bisa membantu split end yang ada di ujung rambutku. Sebelumnya aku harus potong rambut untuk menghilangkan split end, but thanks to Kerastase, it cured my hair! Dan sampai sekarang i have no problem with split-ends-hair anymore :D

Packaging: 3 of 5

I love the color of the packaging, it gives luxurious feeling, just like others Kerastase product. Well, cause it is a high end product, so~ um, the bottle is a little too big for travelling but it is slim so, i think it's still okay. 

Efficacy: 4 of 5

Eventhough it did not solve all my hair problems, but I gotta give this product a 4 because of its magic to make my split-ends-hair disappeared, and never come back eventhough i am not using this product anymore.

Value: 3.5 of 5

I bought this for IDR 350k. This is a high end product so the price is not cheap like any drugstore products. But, you don't need many products when you applied it to your hair, plus it really works on my split-ends-hair, so i should give this Kerastase a 3,5. 

Repurchase ?

No. Because i dont deal with split-ends-hair anymore, and this product did not solve my other hair problem.

Overall Rating: 3.5 of 5

<hair type: dry, thin, volume, many fly-away hair>

In conclusion, if you are looking for a product that can solve your split-ends-hair problem and you have extra budget, I can recommend you this. 

Seeya!
