Most Helpful Positive Review Left my hair silky soft and feeling weightless L'Oreal ELVIVE 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar Rinse-Out is different than other products I have ever used. I have always used conditioner but this worked well for my hair also. I first smelled the rinse while in the bottle and it didn't smell the best to me, however it does smell much better out of the bottle. It has somewhat of a floral fruity like smell. My hair is shoulder length and 20 ml of the rinse was plenty to completely saturate my hair. It does have a little bit of warming sensation when you pour it into your hands and put onto your hair. It's a light warming feel and does not get hot or burn. After massaging into my hair for the recommended time, my hair set angled easy and rinsed easily from my hair. My hair felt silky after rinsing. When my hair dried, it was left feeling silky soft, weightless and shinier. I did try this for my daughters hair also. Her hair is lighter brown and much longer and frizzier. She used 40 ml on her hair. Her hair was a tiny bit less frizzy, a little shinier but much softer than it was before when using conditioner. Her hair also detangled much easier than when using conditioner. I did include a before and after picture of my daughters hair. I would definitely recommend trying this product but do think it works differently for different types of hair.
Most Helpful Critical Review Ingredient Worry I buy really expensive beauty products because I am obsessive about ingredients. I have read that alcohol is not necessarily a bad ingredient in hair products and that it depends on the kind of alcohol. Alcohol denat and benzyl alcohol are on the list of "bad" alcohols for hair products. Both are in this product. I tried it because I was intrigued by the lower price point and the rave reviews. It did work - no frizz, which is the problem I fight most often with my wavy/semi curly hair. I'm giving it three stars because of the ingredients and not sure if I'll buy it again.

I won't go without this now 5
chelseamg from seattle, WA
I am never a product loyalist. I flit from product to product, always looking for the next great thing. This one is different. I will always have this in my shower. I use it twice a week, and my thick, wavy color treated hair had never felt better! It's soft, manageable, and the frizz is tamed. Even my hair stylist was amazed at how great my hair felt after two weeks of use.
Between my 16 year old daughter (who also has thick color treated hair) and myself, we go through a bottle per week. Totally worth it!
Super unique! 5
AmandaV from Omaha, NE
This product is very unique and different than anything that I've ever used before. My hair is long, blonde, and curly. It definitely made me hair feel softer after, less frizzy, and made my ends feel smoother. I would probably use this once a week maybe to get that extra boost of moisture. Pro tip: leave it in longer for more effect.

When used correctly left my hair soooo soft, I didn't even need conditioner. Only use about once a week. Definitely will continue to purchase this item.
Great for damage hair 5
Rose from New York
This smooths hair damage making detangling easier and then preventing further damage.
Saved My Hair 5
Olytown from WA
I have used this for awhile because it works. I'm glad Ulta carries it. It smooths hair so well, that I was able to avoid cutting the dry ends off. This is a great smoother without silicone or dimethicone. I use this every other wash.
Miracle for thin fragile hair 5
Neont from Tucson
I have very long delicate thin hair that is prone to static & dryness especially in cold weather & despite overnight oil treatments and hair masks. This product's affordable price & Evive reputation convinced me. I followed instructions & after the 1st wash my hair is very soft, shiny, & straight like I had it cut/styled @ the salon--- with no heat. One thing I will suggest is a spray applicator instead of the squirt application. I will transfer the contents to an empty spray bottle for more precise application without waste. This is a miracle product if you have thin/fine hair that is dry & fragile. It transforms your hair instantly after it air dries.
Tried it once 5

Haven't noticed so much of a difference yet tbh
THE BEST! 5
LouCor from Georgia
Amazing! Simply amazing. It is like a mini Brazilian blowout. Leaves your hair silky smooth & cuts down blow drying time. This product is perfection!
It works like it says 5
Jessiccca7 from NY
I have very frizzy hair naturally and on top of that, I dye my hair so it's very porous. This wonder water coats your hair, sealing the shaft. It made my hair very soft and gave it a healthy weight with more flow and shine. I love it, can't live without it now!
amazing 5
AS from Wadsworth, Ohio
I've tried everything, even expensive salon treatments, olaplex 3, you name it and I've finally found the one product that has made my hair like glass. I bleached my hair to death, then went back to brunette and the mid shaft to the ends were very dry and frizzy. It's unbelievable how well this stuff works. I get so many compliments now, I don't even have to blow dry or flat iron my hair or use other leave in product, all the benefit is from this amazing product.
WASTE OF MONEY 1

This was a total waste of money. One of the worst hair products I have ever come across.
It's like perfumed water, that's it!
8 Second Wonder Water SAVED my hair! 5
Kdelarosa1991 from Ontario Ca
I went ti a new hairdresser due to the covid-19 situation. My hair was FRIED! In all the 20+ years I have been highlighting my hair this has NEVER happened.
My go to has always been Joico K-Pak. This did not help my situation at all! I was using several different salon brand conditioners together trying to save my hair.
After 10 days of crying and stressing I decided to go back to using the Elvie line. While shopping I spotted thw wonder water and decided if it didn't work I was only out $10 this time.
That night I used it and I was shocked to say the least. It was A M A Z I N G!!! My hair was no longer frizzy!!
Thank you so much. I don't think I could have gone much longer with the FRIZZ!
Ummmm just wow 5

OMG 5
Ky from Hurst, TX
I really love what this does for my hair! I haven't had a cut since the end of January, it's almost down to my hips now. I have coarse wavy hair that conditioning only lasts a few days. I wash once a week and OMG. I'm on day 7, I'll wash tomorrow, and my hair feels silky and light like I just washed it.
Love this!! 5
Angie from Seattle
I have somewhat coarse frizzy hair. This helps to make it shiny and weigh down the frizz. Will absolutely continue to buy!
Disappointing 3
Rudey from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.
The scent of this product is nauseating. Even tho I rinsed thoroughly, I smelled it all day. I have thick, coarse hair and saw very little improvement. A bit more shine but not the results I was expecting. Apparently, you also need conditioner.
Doesn't work 1
Court from La, ca
The product didn't do anything for my hair . I won't purchase it again .

Cat S from Pennsylvania
I bought this to reduce frizz in the wash day process. I noticed reduced to little frizz. I did use a conditioner after. It's is very runny and a bit cumbersome to apply. That's why I took a star off.
Amazing product! 5
Fl48gurl from Hudson, Florida
I bought this after reading about it, as one of 2020's Best New Products, in Allure magazine and gosh, I'm glad I did.
I have over-processed, color-treated hair that's always frizzy unless, and until, I flatiron it...but after using this product my hair looks great from just a blow-dry....no frizz... shiny and manageable. I love it! My hair is just below my shoulders and I use the recommended amount of 20 ml and that amount works great for me. And I don't even need to follow up with a conditioner. And as someone who normally doesn't use drug store products it is awesome to find such a great product at a reasonable price.
I highly recommend this product.
It's Magic 5
Elaina from North Carolina
I use this once every couple of weeks after I use my clarifying shampoo. I would use it more often but I don't want to use it up too fast! It immediately takes away the dry/tangly/squeaky feeling after I strip my hair and makes it feel like silk. I always use conditioner or a mask afterwards - this is not a substitute for conditioner. It makes my hair so soft and manageable! It is like actual magic!
Wow 5
Vaney from Las Vegas
Tried this out because someone I follow on social raved about it and so glad I did! I put this on in the shower after showering and rinse out in 5 minutes. I blow dry my hair and seriously, it is SO SOFT. My frizz is tamed and my colored dead ends are pretty smoothed again. One bottle last me about two weeks of washes and I have hair past my chest. Really love this stuff and will definitely be stocking up!
Skeptic here 5
Jessica B from Kansas City
I read all the excellent reviews and thought this product was overly hyped. I'm here to tell you...I was wrong. This stuff is pretty impressive. I use it about three times each week and my hair is noticeably softer and smoother. My hair is chemically treated (bleached/highlighted). I'm always on the lookout for products to keep my (somewhat) naturally blonde hair from becoming brittle or overly damaged, especially since I frequently blow dry and/or flat iron it. This stuff legitimately helps and the price is right!
