Packaging
The Wella Professional Oil Reflections Serum comes in a luxurious glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The bottle is made of glass, a bit bulky and not at all travel friendly. I’m always afraid of dropping it and breaking it. However, the pump dispenser is great and dispenses just the right amount of product. I hate pumps that dispense way too much product leading to wastage.

Consistency & Scent
The Wella Professional Smoothing Treatment has a strong sweet scent which does bother my sensitive nose a bit. It reduces upon application but I am somehow not too fond of the scent though my bestie loves it! Now, this is not your average hair oil which you massage onto your scalp. This is a lightweight treatment oil which needs to be used as a serum .
The texture of the Wella Professional Oil Reflections Smoothening Treatment is quite thick and when I tried it for the first time I felt it would weigh down fine hair. However, once you apply it onto the mid length and the ends of your hair, it feels quite lightweight. I have super, super thick hair and I need 2-3 pumps of the serum for my hair. My friend with fine hair has tried it too and it she usually just needs a pump or 2 and the serum does not feel oily at all.

Efficacy
I usually use The Oil Reflections Serum on my damp hair. It does make my hair more manageable, controls frizz but it isn’t the ultimate serum for me. I have extremely dry hair and heavy duty serums known to weigh down hair work better for me. However, what I do love it for is how it makes my hair color brighter. I thought I was just being silly because of the claims but I switched to my Kerastase Serum for a few weeks and my hair color looks way more vibrant with the Wella one.
I believe this would work well for for those with normal to dry hair hoping to add some shine and control frizz. However, if you have crazy unmanageable, dry and thick hair like mine then do not expect it to work miracles. That said, it is one of the few hair serums in India that managed to control my frizz on any given day though it wasn’t the ultimate solution for my dry hair. At Rs 850 for 100ml , it might not be termed as an affordable hair serum in India but it will last you a really, really long time.

HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Serum is great at controlling frizz and adding vibrancy to your hair color. It has a lightweight texture which does not weight down even fine hair. However, I have extremely dry and thick hair & I feel the need for something heavier. That said, I do believe this will work very well normal to dry hair especially girls with fine hair.
