[REVIEW] Etude House Silk Scarf Hologram Hair Serum

Hi everyone!


Today I will be reviewing this pretty bottle of hair serum!  Personally, I don't have a lot of experience with hair serum.  I usually only shampoo and condition my hair and occasionally use a Herbal Essence serum for damaged roots because it's been lying around in the drawer for quite some time.

So, on with the review!

I bought this hair serum in Korea, I don't remember how much I bought it from but on the official Etude House website, it says it's 6,500 won.

For me, it's around $7 CAD for a 120mL bottle which I think is not that bad!








The serum comes out using a pumping motion. 



The bottle is wrapped in plastic - as you can see in the picture, I have begun ripping it off!


Ingredients are written on a sticker placed on the bottle because the print on the bottle is small and it's WHITE.  Although it blends well with the light pink colour, it makes it extremely difficult to see what Etude House is trying to get across.
 

Here, we can see the production date on the bottom of the bottle.  




The writing is extremely difficult to decipher.  So, I will type down what it says in English!

"Specially formulated with oil complex and floral scent, this anti-frizz serum creates exceptional shine while sealing the cuticle with a moisturizing layer."

Directions: Distribute evenly throughout clean, towel-dried hair, concentrating on the ends. 

Caution:  For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.  Keep out of reach of children.  Discontinue use if signs of irritation and/or rash appear.


The top is a pump of the serum.  As you can see, the serum has fluidity as it is rolling quickly off my skin. 
 The serum is also not very sticky, after I apply it to my hair, the serum residue left on my skin is easy to wash off and feels almost like nothing.  

I also really like the scent of the serum.  It is not extremely strong but has a soft, mellow scent that I enjoy, considering that I tend to be sensitive to strong smells.

For past the shoulder-length hair, I use two pumps to distribute into my hair.

Here are pictures of the before and after of the serum.


As you can see, the serum did flatten down most of my stray hairs.  


I have nothing bad to say about this serum, but I admit that it didn't really impress me.  It didn't seem to help with my split ends but that may have been because I didn't really pay attention to them.  

I would recommend this as a serum to try out, but I would probably not buy it again.  The price is quite reasonable but I cannot find a reason to why I SHOULD buy it again.  

Anyway, thanks for reading!

As always,

Melissa

  1. I have also used this hair serum! I was not impressed with its results. So I didn’t buy it again. Well, I just need the reviews of dermmatch. I have heard a lot about dermmatch concealers for thin hairs. I really want to use it. But I need professional reviews. Can you provide that?
