Details & care

What it is: A hair serum that helps reinforce and strengthen fragile hair from the inside out, hydrating strands and locking in moisture, enhancing softness.

What it does: This serum forms a scaffold around each hair fiber to help protect from external aggressors. It also helps prevent breakage and hair fallout caused by brushing and styling, encouraging growth over time. The serum also improves the tensile strength and elasticity of each hair strand. The serum is formulated with Oribe's Signature Complex of watermelon, lychee and edelweiss flower, which help defend hair from oxidative stress, photoaging and the deterioration and color-depleting effects of the elements. A curative blend of chia seed, bio-fermented bamboo and plant-based protein penetrate the hair cortex to build strength from within. Additional ingredients help rehydrate and strengthen, enhance shine, promote elasticity to prevent breakage and add softness to each strand.

the best hair product I have ever used

It is amazing, and it is the best hair nutrition product I have ever used. It has to be used only in a right way, then you can see the amazing result way more than your expected. Tips, 1,Use it on damp hair 2, wait at least 20 minutes, then blow dry your hair. You will get the best result of this product. I finally figured out this is the best way. Hopefully it works for you too.

Not for me

The Hair Alchemy line has not worked for my hair. Bought this along with the shampoo and conditioner and it makes my hair look and feel like puffy straw.

A Little Goes A Long Way!

I use this from mid-shaft to the ends before every blow dry and a pea sized amount for my long hair works great. Any more and my fine textured (but lots of it!) hair gets a little heavy and a kind of filmy feeling. But once I found the sweet spot in terms of amount, this is one of my all time favorite products. It makes my color treated, dry hair feel like silk without weighing it down and the scent is delightful (slightly lighter and sweeter than the original scent, which for me personally was a little too strong for my taste.) The scent does stick around though, and I can smell it on my hair until my next shampoo. I can't honestly say if this has strengthened my hair since I've only been using it about two months and I use it three times a week, not every day. It certainly makes my hair feel and look great, so there's that!

Cheated on ounces

Although I haven’t used it yet to write about how well it works I can say there is about one ounce missing from my bottle. You can clearly see the light coming through the empty space at the top. Total feeling cheated on just how many ounces are actually in there. Since the bottle doesn’t come sealed I guess I have assume someone could have rob some of my serum out of this bottle.

wow!

One wash and I am loving what this serum does. Usually get breakouts when I blow dry (using a Dyson) helps but super happy I purchased. Normally I use the Oribe emerald line and I get great results but this is special as the other line does not have a fortifier.

better than hair oil! give it a try

Omg - I got a fresh haircut and have been traveling and lots of hair showers and humidity damaged my hair so fast. This serum works immediately!!! Ends are silky and keeps my hair away from frizz. I have fine and thin hair- will be a part of my daily routine. I paid the full size it described exactly what I was looking for- worth the price!
