My Take on Giovanni Straight Fast Straightening Elixir:

I got this product from Mantri Mall, Bengaluru.  As I have frizzy and curly hair, I straighten my hair using straightening iron. So, I was in need of something which would hold my straightened hair, protect it from damage caused by heat, also which would moisturize and add shine to my hair until my next shampoo.

I came across this product which claimed to meet all my needs. What I do is after taking head bath, on semi-dry hair, I spread this gel evenly in a good amount all over my hair. Then, I begin to straighten my hair with the straightening iron.  Then again, after finishing off, I apply a very small amount of this gel on my hair and spread it out properly with comb followed by Oriflame’s Style Hold Hair Spray.  Now, I am done and end up with super shiny hair. I have used this product many times and I have noticed that I have comparatively less hair fall and damage after using the straightening iron. It acts as a hair protectant with styling.

Straightening

Also, it keeps my style (straight hair) until my next shampoo.  One benefit of this product is that it doesn’t have any sodium lauryl sulphate and parabens. It does work on very unruly curls and does add shine to the hair.

Pros of Giovanni Straight Fast Straightening Elixir:

I can list out many merits:

  • Protects hair from damage while styling and this is a must-have product for those who use straightening iron frequently.
  • Protects hair from heat.
  • Adds shine to the hair.
  • Works on all hair types.
  • Does control unruly waves and curls.
  • My hair length is a little more than below shoulder and for this length, I can easily use this product for about 40-45 times I guess.
  • Does not contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate, mineral oil, artificial colors, phthalates, propylene glycol.
  • Packaging is convenient in taking out the gel.

Cons of Giovanni Straight Fast Straightening Elixir:

  • Does not provide adequate moisturization to the hair and the hair surface becomes hard after 15 minutes of application.  Again, hair gets restored to its softer texture.

IMBB Rating:

4/5

  1. Deepika welcome to IMBB and hope to see more reviews from you. :). This product sounds awesome with no SLES, parabens, etc., must get for me 🙂 thanks for reviewing 🙂

    1. yes…if hair are semi-curly then u can straight them up with hair drier by pulling hair straight with hair brush…
      but for complete curly hair i think we need to use straightening iron..;)
      but once straightened it helps in maintaining style until next wash..

  2. i have this.. this works like a dream for blowdying even without using flat iron… its a wonder product indeed…

  3. Whoa sounds good! But I’m confused with the con. The hair surface becomes hard and then again its restored to its original state, right? How long does it take to get back to normal?

    1. hello leez,

      it is like after application and straightening i feel my hair hard when touched but again for me it takes 30-45 min to get back to its normal soft texture…

  4. such a nice product… i have wavy hairs.. but love to straighten them.. i am ordering this…:) thanks for the review..

  5. Deepika,

    Thanks for writing such a descriptive post, I was trying hard to find the product for my hair after I use straighter. I think my research ends after reading your post. I am going to buy this (if still available in stores). Thanks again.
