Oribe earns strong reviews for performance and sensorial appeal, with many calling the Dry Texturizing Spray, anti-humidity spray, and Gold Lust range effective, while others report heavy formulas, itchy scalps, or inconsistent results by hair type. Reviews praise the signature scent, salon-like finish, and shine without weight, but note potential allergenic ingredients and that some shampoos and oils can feel heavy or underwhelm on fine, low-porosity hair.

  • Oribe Airbrush Root Touch-Up Spray is perfect for refreshing roots and covering grays between salon visits! I love how easy it is to apply and how it helps blend roots for a more polished, fresh-from-the-salon look. It’s a great option for extending time between color appointments and keeping hair looking fresh with minimal effort!

  • Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo is perfect for refreshing hair between washes while keeping it looking clean and voluminous. I love that it helps absorb excess oil without making my hair feel heavy or overly powdery. The luxurious scent is a bonus, making hair smell amazing while extending the time between wash days!

  • Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo leaves my hair feeling clean, soft, and refreshed without stripping away too much moisture. I love the luxurious lather and signature scent that make wash day feel like a salon experience. It’s a great option for nourishing dry or damaged hair while leaving it looking shiny, smooth, and healthy!

  • Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Conditioner leaves hair feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and nourished. I love the luxurious texture and how it helps improve manageability while adding shine without weighing hair down. The scent is an added bonus, making every wash feel like a salon experience. Perfect for giving dry or damaged hair some extra love!

  • Living in Florida not even hairspray can stand up to the humidity during the summer, but this anti-humidity spray manages to do just that. It’s so lightweight and my hair suddenly stays put.

  • I love the Dry Texturizing Spray but I use it sparingly. A little bit goes a long way plus the scent is so good. I use it for a quick refresh throughout the day or when styling my hair in the morning. I can brush my hair right after using it and it doesn't leave any residue.

  • I really love their range of products but sadly i could not justify the price of the shampoo & conditioner long term. I do still keep the flexible texturising spray on hand as it does not weigh my fine hair down.

  • I am currently using Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo a few times a week mainly to use it up because it was so expensive. I don’t see anything special about it at all and have tried several other brands, all of which I prefer over it. The smell isn’t horrible but it’s not great either. Additionally, when I use it in the morning, many times my head gets itchy toward the end of the day, especially if I use more than a minimal amount. It’s the only Oribe product I’ve tried (to the best of my memory) and I’d be open to trying more products before writing the brand off, but only if I try samples or borrow something from a friend.

  • This set is absolutely stunning! The packaging and bottles are beautiful and high quality as are all the hair products. This would make an amazing gift to a loved one or as a splurge on yourself! The shampoo and conditioner has left my hair feeling so soft and smooth. It also smells incredible! The hair oil isn't heavy and didn't leave my hair looking weighed down or greasy. I can't say enough great things about this set. Highly recommend!!

  • Bright Blonde Radiance & Repair Treatment As a platinum blonde girl, brassy golden tones drive me crazy. I like to try to maintain my cool, white look at home in between tones. Oribe’s new Bright Blonde Radiance & Repair Treatment helps knock out the brass (and doesn’t leave purple deposits behind - which I hate!) I love that the bottle has a nozzle tip so I can apply directly onto my head/hair instead of my hands first. It works quickly and brightens everything up. A lot of purple products make my hair extra dry and crispy after using but I did not experience that with this. It’s like a purple toner + hair treatment all in one. Finally, a product that works and does exactly what it claims to do! You can check out my before & after photo results after 1 use!

  • This brand speaks for itself! Honestly It’s so expensive but this texturized is the best and I have tried many- the quality is unparalleled.

  • Smooths flyaways and adds shine without weighing my hair down. A little goes a long way, and it smells amazing like all Oribe products. I like using it before a sleek ponytail or blowout. The brand is expensive but worth it!

  • So, not really sure how to rate this review...after all of the hype around Oribe Goldlust shampoo and conditioner, I got the set with the hair oil. The shampoo conditioner was a bust. I feel like my thin low porosity straight hair had more breakage and dried out. The hair oil smells lux, melts into my ends, and offers heat protection. Tbh not sure if it does anything other than feel lux. Not for me, but I know it works for others who are obsessed.

  • I know Oribe is a pricy brand, but on my opinion if you can allow it, it is great. I have this oil and love to use it, it really helps my ends to look hydrated, healthier and shinier and smells amazing. I tried their masks and they work too !

  • I found their products to be hit or miss. Having sampled a few a la birchbox/sephora free samples, I didnt find anything that I liked enough to pull the trigger on - Straight away left an odd texture and the hair oil was too expensive to justify the price. This was until I tried the matte waves texture lotion, which I use as a curl cream. I do not understand why they would designate a hair product as "matte" because dont we all want shiny gorgeous locks? But much to my surprise, when combined with the dip and scrunch method out of the shower, this allows my curls to air dry perfectly- no crunchy texture, plenty of shine and great hold.

  • Oribe is the pinnacle of luxury hair care. I will repurchase again and again for the scent (citrus and sandalwood somehow working together), but the performance is amazing. The texturizing spray is the best on the market and the only product I use for weddings and other events. The alchemy line is also phenomenal. The serene scalp line is also great if you have a sensitive scalp.

    Works for Oribe
  • Compared to other luxury hair brands, Oribe is like slipping into a cashmere sweater - there’s an immediate, tactile sense of refinement. The shampoo leaves your hair softer, smoother, and shiney clean. The scent is pure Oribe -- think fresh, floral and subtly musky with a hint of “I have my life together.” It will make you want to cancel plans just to sniff your own head, and somehow manages to make you feel fancier than you actually are. That said, the experience is as much about the ritual as the result — sleek packaging, creamy lather and the feeling your hair is healthier after use. Is it objectively better than, say, Kerastase or Alterna? Sometimes yes, sometimes no; some hair types might crave more hydration or bounce. But if you’re after an olfactory and tactile experience that elevates the mundane to the magnificent, Oribe is hard to beat.

  • I have used their dry shampoo in the past and it has worked well! I also love their shampoo and conditioner but have not recently bought it as I use a different one.

  • The Dry Texturizing Spray is one of my holy grail hair styling products! It smells absolutely amazing – almost like its a perfume for your hair. It adds the right amount of texture without the feeling of having too much products in your hair. I have light, fine hair but my friend uses it too and has really thick, dark hair proving it works for multiple hair types.

  • I liked the handful of Oribe products that I tried, but they were expensive, heavy, and full of chemical allergens, so I can't see myself sticking with the brand.
