Gel Sérum

If you have fine, limp hair this is an all thumbs-up product. A little goes a long way; I overdid it at first and I had to re-spritz my hair with water to dilute it. Once I got the hang of it, though, I was impressed indeed. I get lots of body, movement, and wave action with zero stickiness. The "gold flecks" really just melt, adding a lovely warmth and radiance to my ash blond hair. Shine is definitely noticeable.

Despite the price, I will definitely repurchase. For reference, I was underwhelmed by Oribe's Volumista and Maximista sprays, neither of which gave me much style control ... and they both left a definite sticky residue.

I hate to give one star but I don't get it.

Purchased a couple of months ago, I tried the serum on damp, dry, middle-dried hair... nothing worked out for me except for a super dry and frizzy finish of my healthy, normal looking hair.

Why did I buy the serum: one super review in addition to their gorgeous smelling products (I really DO like the Oribe scent - I even purchased the perfume...). I wanted to see if there is an alternative to my super performing, but quite bad smelling gel serum I have been using for 20 years.

The packaging is huge. Tons of product. But I can't use it. And I trusted Nina's advice to use only a litte. I did.

Last weekend, I took the tube to my hairdresser and I asked one of the salon owners with her lovely curly hair to try the Oribe Serum hoping, she could use it. It was a clear no from her. She applied a tiny bit and after a few minutes she said, please touch my hair (she really has thick, strong hair) and they were super dry.

Not sure, if it's only my item not performing but I can't think of another option than simply throwing away USD 65 for a Hair Gel.

Can you believe that?
