This product claims to control volume and make hair smooth. I does an average job at controlling volume but it smells really bad - and the scent lingers on hair all day long - and makes my hair feel dirty. Also, I can't say it made my hair any smoother. Just smelly and dirty-feeling.
I would say that at more than 200SEK / 20 � a product should:
a) be VERY good at what it claims to do;
b) multitask
c) both!
This product does nothing. Like I wrote before, it does an average job at controlling volume/'puffiness' and that's it. It does not hydrate hair, does not give it texture, does not offer heat protection etc. Not that it claims to either, but I feel that consumers should really be getting more for their money. My bad for actually buying this having read its claims.
So in general my advice is don't buy this stuff. Especially if you usually heat-style your hair. You will need to use a heat protectant on top of this (as it does not offer protection) and you really do NOT want to do that as this product alone makes hair feel so dirty.
Save your money, there's better stuff out there for a fraction of the price!

I love kerastase and was anxious to add this to my 'arsenal' of hair care
products.I think their line is expensive,but worth it.Sometimes a product
will have a fragrance that dissipates after styling.Well not this one! The
odor is overwhelmingly awful.I do not care how well this performs,I cannot
get past it.It is so gross,that I am surprised that Kerastase has allowed
this to exist in one of their products!

I am very disappointed with this product. It doesnt help slim my big, thick, very dry and rebellious hair. It's expensive and smell so bad. I am not gonna buy this product again.

this review is for the 3 products: bain oleo relax shampoo, oleo relax SLIM masque, and creme oleo relax SLIM.

ok, wow, wow, wow wowwww.
i have naturally dark brown, thick, voluminous, wavy hair that has been previously been bleached pale blonde root to tip (it is now mid brown with highlights), and is heat styled by necessity. most of the damage has been cut off now, but combined with my natural texture i basically have hair that wants to look puffy and damaged and i have to wrestle with it.

i have only been using kerastase products for less than a year. i started with a combination of the damage line (green) and nutritive line (BS 3 and masquintense thick). after some time i found the damage line wasnt moisturizing enough for regular use, so that stays in my gym bag. i was enjoying the nutritive products but the "volume reduction" claim of the oleo relax slim line was very appealing to me. the first time i used the set i wasnt that impressed, but the second time i was BLOWN AWAY.
to get great results, i washed and used the masque. let my hair airdry substantially and applied the creme mostly to tips. used a bit of the nectar thermique and haphazardly blew it out, then i went to sleep. on waking i noticed it was dramatically smoother and more deflated than usual. i then ironed it as i normally would and WOW. completely sleek, smooth, salon hair. the best results i have EVER had by my own hand. after working a few hours in a somewhat humid environment, the smoothness stuck

so after this looong review, in summary: i highly recommend these products for damaged, thick textured hair prone to puff
