if you've read my other posts, i love the loreal extraordinary oil. however, after finishing two or three bottles, i got bored. i decided to try the matrix smoothing serum because the advertisement kept appearing in my feed and someone mentioned that it's good. yeah, i'm weak just like that. let's see if this can replace the extraordinary oil.
this is the description translated from their website: frizzy hair sometimes get wild and difficult to style. inspired by camelia flower that's water-resistant, biolage smoothproof deep smoothing serum for frizzy hair helps to fight humidity and makes it soft even when the humidity is close to 97% (if using shampoo, conditioner and the serum compared to shampooed-hair without conditioner).
untangled hair and managed frizzy hair and make it shine. soften and protects hair from hot styling products and humidity. paraben free formula that's also suitable for colored hair.
the packaging: the serum comes in yellow plastic bottle with white flip top cap. the bottle is see through so you can see the remaining product from the outside. there's description at the back of the bottle. it comes in 100 ml but since the bottle is slim and bit short compared to loreal extraordinary oil, it doesn't look like a lot. since it's made of plastic, i can bring it with me while we went to europe without worrying that it might break.

the scent: this one certainly scented. i think it has floral scent but it's quite subtle. compared to extraordinary oil, the scent is more subtle but still enjoyable. it's not annoying or anything.

the product: the oil is on the runny side, similar to extraordinary oil. if not a bit runnier. it's less sticky than extraordinary oil. i use it just the same way as i used extraordinary oil. i put it on my damp hair before blowing my hair out.

the result: after blowing it out, i can feel my hair is soft but not as smooth as usual. compared to extraordinary oil, it's still frizzy. i still have baby hairs flying all over. luckily, my hair is not dry even after blowing it out.

| see that i still have flyaways? |
i have to be straightforward, this one is not superior to extraordinary oil. this one even though makes my hair soft and not dry, it doesn't smooth my hair enough. i like the result from extraordinary oil better. however, this one is cheaper than ordinary oil. my hair is naturally frizzy and and difficult to tame, so maybe this serum is not enough. but if you have pretty straight hair, then this might be okay. as for me, i'd try the kerastase first then decided which one i like better.
