MIXED / NEGATIVE
- “Both of these do a really nice job smoothing flyaways. I would say that they're equally good in that sense”16:47–16:56
- “I do think that Elf makes my hair look heavy and greasy and dirty, while Day doesn't at all”16:59–17:06
- “As someone with an oily scalp, that is a deal-breaker for me”17:21–17:24
- “Elf is not one that I'm going to continue to use”17:59–18:03

- “Elf is thicker and balmier and more slick. I would not describe Elf as lightweight or whipped at all”12:53–12:58
- “I think that they both do a nice job of making my hair look smooth and sleek”13:17–13:24
- “With Elf, I feel like it almost dulls my shine a little”15:28–15:33
- “Elf isn't not smooth, it just it doesn't feel as smooth as Day, and it definitely increases friction while brushing a little bit”
- “Where I think that Elf out-performs Day and does a better job for me is with curl definition and style hold”
- “Is Elf an exact dupe of Day? Definitely not. Do they have some of the same benefits? Yes, but are there enough similarities for me to feel like I can say that Elf is close enough to being a dupe? No”
- “I do feel like this is a solid option for $9, but because I like that one so much more, and that is really why I would have reached for a styling cream, I would stick with Nexxus over this, and I won't be repurchasing this”15:47–15:53
