Absolutely amazing!

6 years ago
I don't know what sort of deal L'oreal struck with the devil, but this formula had to have been concocted by an otherworldly source. It's simply amazing! I have very long very wavy hair that's full of frizz, and this product tamed it ALL immediately. When you apply this, you'll notice a significant warming sensation when it hits the scalp, then the magic happens...my hair instantly felt like silk. I let my hair air dry, and I was astounded. I usually have to use a detangler, gel, and serum but not today. I put zero additional products in my hair...I didn't need them. I will forever buy this, please don't ever stop making it!

Unable to hold a curl

6 years ago
I used this once over a week ago, I did find it made my hair smoother but I feel like ever since my hair will not hold curls (from curling iron) quite the same way. I am hoping it will get out of my hair soon. I returned product....that's a deal breaker for me.

Caused hair to fall out

2 months ago
I was so excited to buy this product ... BUT ... I have so many regrets! I normally have thick healthy hair. My hair was falling out after I started using it, but initially I thought it was natural fallout ... by the time I realised it was the 8 Second Wonder Water that was causing the problem it was too late. I stopped using it months ago ... and I find that my hair has never recovered and my hair is so much thinner now. I am very distressed about this!

Excellent for Smooth Hair Without Being Oily!

3 months ago
This is the BEST product if you want smooth hair without making it greasy/oily! All it takes is 8 seconds after you shampoo. Sometimes I use conditioner afterwards, but only for the scent. My hair doesn't need any additional conditioning after using the 8 Second Water Lamellar Treatment! I would expect this product to be much more expensive, so I'm extremely glad Loreal makes it affordable!

Severe chemical and allergic reactions.

6 months ago
This product gave me an awful allergic reaction and burned my neck as I was trying to rinse it out. It literally felt like I was being burned by a lighter. It should NOT be used by anyone other than a professional. Furthermore it did NOTHING for my hair except ruin my extensions. This product needs to be removed from the market. I can't imagine if a child was to accidentally get this on their skin.

Too much alcohol for me

9 months ago
It has way too much alcohol in it. My hair felt “stripped” and like steel wool until I got it rinsed out and got the conditioner on my hair. I won’t use it again for fear of permanently damaging my hair. My hair is very fine and can’t take much abuse. I don’t even use heat on it at all.

Comfortable right now

a year ago
I used it for the first time today and it was an interesting experience. I want to preface this by saying I didn't wash my hair for about 2-3 days prior to this, so when I took my hair out of that ponytail I resembled Gollum so I'm not sure if it was the satisfaction of having clean, blowdried hair or if it was the product. After washing out the Wonder Water it did feel like a version of post-conditioning but I just ended up using my normal conditioner afterwards to "seal" it all in. Some heat protectant/blowdrying (which I don't do often) later I looked like I got a blowout (I think? I've never gotten one of those before). I think for the price (2 for $10 at CVS, plus an extra $3 off if you purchase 2 L'Oreal products) and the amount I used (way less then the 20 mL that's recommended, I don't have a thick lush mane of hair) I think it's a great way to get shinier hair! 4 out of 5 stars only because I can't tell right now if it's the white hairs (I got some serious salt n peppa going on) or if it's the product!

It's a magic potion &my favorite hair product

a year ago
I love this product 💯❣️I have damaged &someone greasy flat roots thin hair but a lot of it and using Wonder water is a miracle in a bottle! This stuff is my favorite L'Oreal product.I apply mid shaft to the ends of my hair every time I wash my hair. My hair ends up much more manageable looks like it has more volume and much healthier looking like I put a glaze on it. I would make videos to promote this product it is my favorite hair product hands down of all time. You can send me samples of it anytime you want!

Long term effect

2 years ago
I first used this product about a 18 months ago, and thought it was great. It made my dry, unmanageable curls much smoother. I used it about once a week for the first six weeks or so, then about once every two weeks for another couple of months. The one thing that always troubled me was, why only 8 seconds? what happens if it is 15-20 seconds? I have shoulder length, layered hair. Even if putting on the ends of the hair, with layers it is difficult to keep it entirely away from the scalp. And after applying it, I would comb it through quickly then rinse as quickly as possible, but even so, sometimes it could have been as long as 15-20 seconds. Although I still loved the product, I was more concerned that I could not manage the treatment for as short a time as its name suggested. So I stopped. Soon after I became aware of having less hair. I thought perhaps I was shedding due to summer heat. It is now a year later, and my once thick hair is appalling disappearing. I now have no need to use a hairdryer; what strands are left cannot hide my scalp; the hair has receded about two inches from my temples; overall I would say have about a 1/3 of what I had a year ago. I have been to the doctor to see if it is health related, medicine related, vitamin deficiency, vitamin toxicity .. all negative. I feel it is this product that caused this ongoing loss of hair. How do I stop it? Is it reversable? Surely there must be a way to fix this. I have no proof that this product caused this problem, but personally, I am sure that it did. This product should have very strong instructions on the importance of Not Touching The Scalp in any way.. and Not to be used on shorter length or layered hair styles... And state up front, WHY only 8 Seconds.. It feels as light as water so it seems harmless... Appropriate warning on the label is imperative. And if I should find out that I am wrong, I promise to come back to this site and update accordingly.

Do Not Buy

2 years ago
Not only did it NOT shine my hair at all, but wads of hair came out. Tried twice and this happened both times. This does not happen when I simply use conditioner (except for a few strands as is normal). The only thing this product would shine would be my bald head if I kept using it.

Poor - disturbed my health

2 years ago
This product did not make a huge change on the appearance of my hair. However! every time I applied it to my hair, even though I applied less than what is prescribed on the bottle, it made me cough horribly. I realized it had some type of effect on my respiratory system when I pulled it back, it was not as bad. Oddly, washing it again did not improve things. I just had to wait for it to fade off within 2-3 days. I used it 3 times total and realized the trend it was having with my lungs. I have no idea what this product has that made me react in such a way! I have never had an experience like this, but I do not recommend it. I'm also not a sensitive person or suffer from any allergies, so this was extremely alarming to my health!

My hair was extremely dry, breaking and damaged from over bleaching done by my hairdresser. No matter what treatment she advised, my hair was still very dry and.breaking. Since using this amazing product, my hair is so much softer and silkier. I will never stop using it. I love this product! Thank you L'Oreal I live in South Africa

This product worked a miracle on my overprocessed damaged hair. I can't believe I just found this product and am so happy that I did. My hair is super smooth, has bounce and shine. I can even run my fingers through it without and tangles. This product a miracle for my locks...

It’s a miracle

3 years ago
I have fine straight-ish hair but a lot of it, and I have struggled for as long as I can remember between finding a conditioner or shampoo/conditioner match that left my hair soft, smooth and like I just left the salon, but I’ve never been able to recreate it until now. It doesn’t leave my hair weighed down, but it’s also not still dry at the end. It’s a miracle, I don’t know what else to call it. My sister had thick hair that is almost curly, and she also swears by this product so don’t think because you don’t have fine hair it’s not for you!

Worst product I've ever used!

3 years ago
Worst product I ever used in my hair in my entire life! I love Loreal Elvive Dream Lengths shampoo and conditioner. Thought I'd get lucky with this because I have very long curly fine hair that tangles really bad. I read the ingredients and there's a lot of alcohol in it but I tried it anyway. Followed directions to a T and my hair never tangled up as bad as it did from this. Further reading on the package says that it's flammable. I'm tossing it out!

This product is absolutely magical! I cannot tell you the horrors I put my hair through within one week, I was seriously considering shaving it all off. I was looking for something, anything that would help my dry, crunchy and horrid looking hair. I saw the reviews for this water product, yeah, water (I thought), but decided to try it anyway. Oh my goodness, what A shock I was in for, my hair was amazing. It was soft, easy to comb and just unbelievable! My aunt had previously teased me about my crunchy hair, she could not believe the change when she saw me. She touched my hair and commented that a miracle had happened. So, the bottom line is this stuff is great!,

I was very skeptical when purchasing this product. I immediately came home and tried the product out. I am very highly satisfied with the outcome. My hair was very dry and damaged. I feel like my hair is finally healthy again. I will be using this again until I am completely satisfied with how my hair feels. But I was very impressed which is the first time use. Thank you for making such a wonderful product for those of us that have dry damaged hair.

I love the way this makes my hair feel, but I have curly to wavy hair and wash my hair every 5-7 days. And I've been noticing since I've been using this my waves are starting to get looser and looser. Would I recommend it, yeah, if you have straighter hair. I will continue to use this here and there especially with winter coming up here.

    Is this a leave-in or rinse-out product? I purchased this and used it for the first today. I believe I read the instructions thoroughly, they are lacking, you discuss dosage but do not specify what a dosage is & can’t find rinse or leave-in. TY

      Thank you for reaching out to L'Oreal regarding the Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water Treatment. You should apply this product directly to wet hair (after shampooing) then massage through your hair for 8 seconds and rinse it out, avoiding your eyes. Follow your normal conditioning routine if you usually condition your hair.

      Hi Helenews, We do not believe that there should be any issue with using our products; however, since our products have not been tested in conjunction with Brazilian Keratin Relaxers, we cannot provide you with usage information. We suggest you contact the manufacturer of that treatment and follow their advice.
