Colour Protect Shampoo

I really liked this product, to test this out my hair had recently been streaked blonde which does usually tend to fade out nicely as it grows.

This product had a nice consistency wasn't too liquidy and lathered up nicely. I only needed a small amount of this product. This shampoo combined with the conditioner left my hair smooth and easy to brush.

The packaging was nice and sleek and looks lovely in my shower, the lid is easy to open. This product smells amazing and very much like a salon shampoo, the scent also lasts through to when my hair is dry.

I don't think this shampoo fully protected my colour but it hasn't faded as much as when I use other shampoos.

Tips: A little bit of this goes a long way

Better than others

To do a really test on this product, I coloured my hair 2 days prior to receiving the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is brown, but I have a lot of white hair especially around my temples and face. In the past when I coloured my hair, the white hair only holds onto the dye for a maximum of 2 washes. With this shampoo and conditioner, the colour lasted 8 washes before the white came through again. So while it didn’t keep the colour of the dye for long, it did keep it coloured for 75% longer than other hair products.

I would continue to use this product.

was hoping for my new holy grail but...

I've been dying my hair for over fifteen years now and am still to find my holy grail when it comes to colour protection shampoos & conditioners. I decided to dye my hair the day my trial started so I could give an accurate review. The bottle is a lovely red with gold & silver writing. It is an upside down bottle which I love as it makes it easier to get the product out & you can use every last bit of it.

I have washed my hair every 2-3 days for the past fortnight. The shampoo has a thick white glossy consistency & the smell is lovely.

lots of dye came out during the first four washes. The last few washes saw only a small amount of dye washed out. I have shortish hair & only needed a small amount of shampoo each time.

After throughly rinsing all the shampoo out, my hair felt 'straw' like. Afterwards I used the conditioner as stated but I will review the conditioner separately.

Was really hoping that this product would be that holy grail I was looking for but it seems to be just like all the other products I've used over the years. I've heard that red dye is one of the hardest to keep vibrant & I have found this to be true. This product may work perfectly for other colours but for me the only difference I noticed compared to other products I've used was that my hair remained shinier for longer. My colour did dull fairly quickly but my hair had a beautiful shine to it.

In saying that, I do prefer this product to all the others I have tried and will continue to use it as I love the shine it gave to my hair. I will be recommending it to people.

Tips: Use in conjunction with L'Oréal Paris Elvive Colour Protect Conditioner

Your Hair Looks Nice, Did you do something?

In late May I had my long hair dyed a beautiful ombre from dark brown into dark caramelly blonde on the ends – the most blonde I have had since I was a goldilocked toddler. I immediately noticed that my hair was drier and harder to brush – so I was so glad to get a place in the Elvive Colour Protect Trial. Details: Cost? supermarkets sell them for $5 a bottle (not on special) Smell? Not too strong on the purfume – quite typical of other shampoos Feel/Consistency? Some shampoos are too watery – this has a thicker consistency, which made me think it had lots of good stuff in it! (or I imagined it did!) Results? Only TWO applications of the combo (shampoo + Conditioner) and I had 3 people in one day say – “hey, did you do something to your hair?” – I was so happy!! The cherry on the top was my boyfriend commenting on how nice my hair looked as well! The shampoo cleaned my hair in a gentle but robust way- in other words my hair felt really clean but not STRIPPED bare of any natural goodness like some shampoos leave you. I wash my hair only 2-3 times a week, and it doesn’t take much shampoo each time so the product will last ages! I would totally recommend this to a friend who has coloured their hair recently – immediate, noticeable results = Yes please!

Tips: Concentrate on the roots as thats where it needs the shampoo the most - and ALWAYS follow up with Conditioner for the lengths and ends!

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I was super happy with the timing of this trial as I had my colour booked in the same day that this was due to arrive in the post! This meant I could do this with my hair freshly coloured and see if this product really could preserve it.

The packaging is really nice, I think it makes it look like a slightly more expensive product which is always a plus.

It smells divine, and lathers up nice and thick, so feels very luxurious. Washes out easily, and no residue left behind.

I can still smell the product when I have blow-dried my hair, which is really nice. It feels full and smooth and is definitely more shiny. I have noticed that my hair is still looking as fresh as it did after going to the hair dressers, and I wash my hair EVERY morning, so I think that is a great sign. I feel like my colour is being preserved better than normal, and I will buy this again at the supermarket as it is no more expensive than my normal product – except I will get the bigger bottle.

Tips: This Shampoo is lovely and thick, and lathers up really well, so you don't actually need to use a lot which is great!

Great Product

The L’Oreal ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo is a great product. Nice and thick and creamy texture and lathers up really well. For the time I have been using the shampoo I found it did maintained my colour and definitely made my hair soft and smell amazing. I will be going out and purchasing this bad boy to continue using!

Tips: I am a massive fan of the Colour Protect Conditioner so recommend using these two together 

Value offering

I normally only purchase salon brand hair care so was quite reluctant to try this. However I was pleasantly surprised. I found this shampoo very gentle on my coloured hair. It cleansed my hair without stripping nutrients from it - essential given the amount of colour I have in my hair. Good value for money when the budget can't stretch to more premium products.

Great bang for your buck

As far as colour saver I don't think it does this as my darker colour still fades out fast. I do like this product as it keeps my hair clean, soft and feels nourished it definitely breaks less and looks more healthy. I used it in conjunction with my professional blonde shampoo(every third wash) and my hair definitely feels better I would buy this one again.

Tips: Wash twice,always wash twice my hairdressers advice and it's the best thing I've ever stated doing. First wash takes off the 'dirt' second washes the hair itself-makes it last longer. You only need a very small amount like the size of your thumb nail

Mixed feelings

For some context here, I colour my hair with a semi-permanent colour, not a permanent one.

My colour would normally begin to fade to its normal coppery tone after about 4 weeks, but after using this it seems to have lasted a little longer than usual, but nowhere near as long as the loreal professionnel version of this does. For the price point though, it's probably worth it.

The smell is nice, but strong enough that a colleague mentioned smelling it in the lift when I exited.

Did leave my hair feeling quite soft and manageable which was impressive. After so much colouring, my hair is usually a matted mess after a single gust of wind but not with this shampoo and conditioner.

Tips: Really needed to wash hair the night before in order to keep the scent from being overpowering the next day.
