LolaVie, a haircare brand by Jennifer Aniston, combines the best of science and nature into effective hair products.

LolaVie, while hailed for its light, fresh scent and less chemically-intensive formula, has received mixed reviews. Some users praise its detangling and softening properties for long, thick hair, but many have been disappointed, citing issues such as poor scent, difficulty dispensing the product, and drying effects on the hair.

After reading the other comments and the overall rating of 2.7 I was surprised. You automatically think when a "star" creates a product that it's amazing, especially when you're a fan of them and want to support their product. I do use the light hair oil and leave in conditioner.  I do like the smell as it is very light and fresh. I feel they both work with my hair and really have no complaints. The product does not contain as many chemicals as others which is why it might not be at the top performer for everyone.  I use an app called "Yuka" which when you scan the bar code of a product it will tell you where it ranks out of 100. The conditioner (see picture) ranks 65 out of 100, which is considered good. I try and purchase products with less harmful chemicals and Lolavie comes close. Most hair products have harmful chemicals including dyes and fragrance. It seems the healthier the product the less it works. 

I finally got around to trying LolaVie after a long wait -- I picked up a travel kit that included the brand's four primary products (shampoo, condish, detangling spray, and serum).  I was genuinely surprised, and pleased.

For reference, I have super dense, very (VERY) long, curly hair. I also have a history of scalp eczema, migraine, and allergies -- I am consequently highly skeptical of ingredients and FRAGRANCE. Honestly, I didn't have high hopes for LolaVie given my hair type and scalp issues. Also, my hair doesn't look or act anything like Jennifer Aniston's, LOL. 

The ingredient list pulled me in. I found the fragrance mild, even pleasant -- it's citrus forward with a sweet herb background (think rosemary or clary sage, rather than mint or oregano). It has absolutely no "spice", "musk", and only the faintest hint of cream/vanilla. It smells very clean, which is what I prefer. The scent strength is probably 3/10 and the staying power 6/10 (though my hair tends to retain scent). It DID NOT trigger my migraines or allergies. Overall, this scorecard is excellent. 

Shampoo -- a mild, non-stripping shampoo. I will probably continue using it for the time being in conjunction with Act&Acre original (which is definitely more clarifying while still being gentle). LolaVie is in my estimation an excellent "maintenance" shampoo, which is good for every 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th washday (depending on your schedule). You'll eventually need a clarifier, though. You also can't expect a literal "squeaky" clean, which isn't necessary for your maintenance washes. I wash twice for every shampoo, and LolaVie is no exception. It removed my pre-wash treatment (Act&Acre) completely with two washes and my hair DID NOT feel dehydrated. 

Conditioner -- the biggest surprise of the lot. I generally cannot use traditional conditioner (I have to defer to deep treatments as my primary conditioner, plus additional leave-in). This conditioner is medium-weight (imo), creamy, and HIGHLY effective. It takes a minute to wash out (at least if you have thick hair), so be patient and reap the rewards. I didn't think this conditioner would even begin to condition my hair based on the texture alone, but I have rarely been so utterly wrong. Today (day 3) it is still manageable and soft. If you have thin or oily hair, I would condition the length of your hair only and avoid applying it to your scalp ( a good rule for anyone, really), and defer to the detangler spray to condition your roots. 

Detangling Spray -- the 2nd biggest surprise of the lot. Disclosure ... I have rarely reached for a spray to manage my detangling because I have aggressively tangly hair. I use creams to detangle because otherwise I'd be working it out for half an hour (no lies) and tear my roots, yet I am rarely happy with the outcome. If you're a curly person, you know that the weight of most creams aren't great for your style, even if they do a quick and gentle job of detangling. This spray, seriously, detangled my entire head in just a few minutes. After getting over my shock, I proceeded to finish my washday (easily) 15 minutes early. That is HUGE. I tried it again today (day 3) on my dry hair and it worked through easily, and loosened up my shed hairs without pulling. 

Perfecting Serum -- I'm not sure what to liken this product to. It's not a styling cream. It's not high moisture. It's only vaguely smoothing. I always use something to help soften my hair (keep it manageable) as a last step, so I used this serum. My hair is soft. My hair is manageable. However, I cannot determine if this serum contributed to that outcome. Maybe? Probably? At the very least it didn't hurt my hair or make it tacky. 

I'm glad I ignored the mixed reviews and gave it a shot anyway. Grab the travel kit if you want to try without the investment. I'll continue using 3/4 of these items in my routine. 



I have tried the shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, detangler and treatment. The shampoo is awful - it just strips my hair and the conditioner does nothing to return any softness unless I add a bit of the treatment conditioner. Even then, I have to use the leave-in to be able to remotely brush my hair. The detangler is awful - does not detangler a thing. I don't mind the smell - it's not the nicest smell but I've had worse. Overall the treatment conditioner and leave-in has allowed me to use the product but I'll never use it again. 

I'm sensitive to strong scents. I don't know if the full-size shampoo & conditioner's scent is as strong as the travel size, but it was so perfumey it gave me a headache. I had to rewash my hair to try to get rid of the "odor". Besides the odor, the performance was meh as well... it left my hair dry, flyaway, and stripped of any shine. It's not at all what I expected, and I'm very disappointed to have spent $40 on a 4-piece travel kit that I'll never use again. Why did JA endorse this stuff? It's surprising, especially because Living Proof was the real deal.

This product is awful. Left my hair dry and brittle. No shine or bounce. I will not use this product again.

Absolute garbage. I have long, thick, healthy  hair that is very manageable. I used the shampoo, conditioner, detangle spray and leave-in. After applying the spray and leave-in, my hair felt like I was combing through a bag of rubber bands but thought maybe it would get better after blow drying….WRONG. My Roots were super greasy and my ends were dry and frizzy.  Glad I only purchased the travel pack because it’s back to drugstore brands for this gal. 

I wanted to love LolaVie but my experience with the LolaVie Restore & Protect Travel Kit left much to be desired. Although initially excited to try these travel-sized products before committing to full-size, I found them ineffective for my hair. The detangler included in the kit was a saving grace, as I found it necessary- the shampoo and conditioner left my hair tangled and dry. 

I echo the sentiments of other reviewers regarding the cheap quality of the components, which unfortunately gives the impression of hotel-grade products. 

While the citrus scent is pleasant, its fleeting nature leaves much to be desired in terms of longevity. 

Overall, my experience with these products was underwhelming. Unless significant improvements are made to the formulation, I cannot recommend this product and will not be repurchasing it.



I, like everyone else wanted to love these LolaVie products 
I love J.A. Let’s make this clear 
I have fine hair 
My hair literally fell out and also broke off !!
I was so devastated and traumatized.. as you can imagine a woman’s hair is to me, a woman’s crown ..it was at my 3rd or 4th time using LolaVie that it started to happen for me .. I bought all of the products.. ALL !!
And I’m a retired DOD employee on a fix income!!..
I should have bought the travel size and it wouldn’t have been such a lost of money…so if you just lost money on … shampoo and conditioner imagine losing money on shampoo, conditioner, hair restoration oils spray every single product that LolaVie put out I bought like a fool .. 
But more devastating was the lost of my hair ..thank God it’s growing back but not before having to spend money on hair toppers to cover my hair lost , which was hard cause these toppers snap on and I was left with little hair ..
I have pictures 
I cried  every time I washed or brushed  my hair and chunks were just coming out.. 
thank you for allowing me to voice my thoughts and feelings..


In a word Terrible!! I feel like it's nothing but H20. Really wanted to like the shampoo and conditioner, especially since I got as a gift. Couldn't be more disappointed. Doesn't leave your hair shiny or really feeling clean. I'm sticking with my Kirkland( Costco) knock off shampoo and conditioner. Do Better especially with the price point. Expensive and definitely not worth it. 

The first time I tried this shampoo I did not like it. I wanted to like it so I kept hope and continued to use it thinking maybe after the second or third wash the results would be different  but sadly no. In my opinion this shampoo is just average and that is being generous. It's way over priced. $ 60. For shampoo and conditioner would be okay if the products lived up to the hype. Very disappointing
