Which one to choose? L'Oréal Paris: Kérastase Nutritive Oleo Relax Vs. L'Oréal Nutritive Oleo Therapy

Which one to choose?
"To be quite honest, I love both of them! Both of them work great on my hair. However, wise buyers will always pick the cheaper one with the same result. Won't they?"
I
have been using hair serum since I was in high school. FYI, I have done many
experiments to my hair ranging from hair straightening to curling and
then dying, and even hair extensions. That is why I really need some
hair supplements such as hair serum in order to keep my hair healthy.
In the past, I routinely used Kérastase Nutritive Oléo-Relax Serum and then changed it to L'Oréal Nutritive Oleo Therapy Perfecting Oil Essence
today.
To be
short, Kérastase is the high-end luxury line of L'Oréal Paris. While the
L'Oréal brand itself is more affordable and also offers similar
products in terms of quality. Kérastase Nutritive Oléo-Relax Serum
performs many tasks at once: it hydrates, de-frizzes, shines,
detangles, adds softness and helps style my hair. My hair stylist
recommended me to use this product especially to prevent my processed
curly hair from tangling. The thing that I like most about Kerastase
Nutritive Oleo-Relax Serum is the fact that it doesn’t weigh my hair
down. In addition, it has a fresh and clean scent that lingers in my
hair all day long. I had been using this serum for about a year until I
finally changed my hair style into straight and stopped using it because it
drained my wallet.

L'Oréal Oleo Therapy Perfecting Oil-Essence works just like the expensive Kérastase serum, but costs me only half the price. The other good thing about this serum is that it is 100% vegan as they use natural botanicals in their ingredients. The serum is lightweight and soft, it makes my hair smooth like silk. The scent of this serum is also very high-end and unique - like nothing I have ever used before! It has a soft smell like a mixture of baby powder and light floral scent. Although the texture of the serum is thicker than Kérastase, but it doesn't make my hair greasy. In fact, I found that Kérastase serum makes my hair oily in the next day.
The Application
For the application, I usually need about four small pumps to cover my entire medium long hair. As you can see from the picture, the L'Oréal serum is fairly thick, similar to a gel but not too thick that it cannot be delivered via a dropper. For the texture itself, I actually like Kérastase one better since it has a really nice watery-like texture. However, you can not judge things from their appearance solely since we often make a wrong judgement.
In addition, L'Oréal also has an entire line of Oleo Therapy products, take a look:
1. L'Oréal Oleo Therapy Sulfate-free Shampoo
2. L'Oréal Oleo Therapy Deep Recovery Mask
3. L'Oréal Oleo Therapy Self-heating Hot Oil
Both Kérastase Nutritive Oléo-Relax Serum or L'Oréal Oleo Therapy Perfecting Oil-Essence have their pros and cons. As for myself, I will continue using L'Oréal Oleo Therapy Perfecting Oil-Essence for the next few years. It has reasonable reasons for me to continue the purchase, because not only is the serum affordable but also gives a great result to my hair.
