Smells lovely, but an underwhelming performer

The Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo has a lovely scent and lathers well. However I didn't feel it did anything to improve the condition of my hair. My hair errs on the side of dryness and it felt weighed down, dull and dry with this shampoo. My hair colour didn't fade using this shampoo it didn't counteract any brassy blonde tones in my bleached hair so alternating with purple shampoo was a definite requirement.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo

Well after using this for two weeks I think my hair colour has not faded although I did see some hair colour wash away with the shampoo, witch was a bit disappointing. I loved the smell and it made my hair smell lovely for the whole day. after using the conditioner as well it made my hair nice and soft and silky.

typical

Apart from the amazing smell and smooth texture of this product, I would use it again, like any other shampoo, it made my hair feel like straw, a very rough texture I really didn't like it.but it did protect my color which is great.

Tips: Because my hair is very long and thick, I think using less of this product would stop the rough texture, and would make this product perfect.

ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo

Im a little sketchy with using shampoos and conditioners as i do take pride in my hair and as ive gotten older, my hair (although i find is still healthy)is a little more temperamental than my younger years. No more gel, mousse or spray on a daily basis as the build up and dry flakes at the end of the day is very non flattering. Even most shampoos i try (unless salon bought) i cannot retain for a long period as my hair becomes oily and yuck, not lovely soft and free! So far it has been 3 weeks since using this and i wash on a very regular basis. due to my job and school as appearances are top priority alongside your skill. so washing, blpwdrying and straightening hair on a near daily basis does usually cause a strain on the hair. I lighten my hair so retaining of colour is paramount as usually if its not toned regularly i will end up with a brassy colour in my hair And the test was put out there as i had run out of toner! Now 2 week into course a girl had asked me if i had recently had my hair done, as it was looking lighter and brighter. no work was done and not having any toner left there was only one explanation... ELVIVE so i will be purchasing another bottle to see how the results continue.. so far so good :)

Good shampoo

Great shampoo, you only need a small amount and it lathers up realllyyy thick and nice! Has a nice light scent and leaves you feeling super clean. I have dark brown hair with toned highlights and my hair still looks as good as the day it was done. The bottle itself is nice and easy to use, I find some quite awkward to squeeze or difficult to get the product out, I had no issues with this one. I would definitely buy this product again.

Nice creamy texture but nothing special otherwise

The first thing I noticed with this shampoo is the smell. It is quite a strong fragrance, and not something I like due to my sensitive nose. I did get used to it after a while, but I imagine it can be too strong for some people.

What I liked about this shampoo is its creamy texture, which feels nice when massaging through my hair. However, my hair always becomes tangled after rinsing the shampoo away. I never had this issue with my previous brand of shampoo. Luckily, the conditioner fixes this right away, but I really dislike the fact that the shampoo always causes my hair to be tangled, without fail.

I can't really tell if its colour protect abilities are any better than other colour protect shampoo. My hair does feel nourished, but I wouldn't get this again due to the strong smell and the fact my hair gets tangled after every use.

Tips: Use only a small amount as it lathers well. Use with conditioner to keep your hair soft and smooth.

Colour protecting shampoo

The first thing I noticed about this was the smell - a really nice (in my opinion) sweet vaguely fruity/berry smell. This was a change from the usual chemical-tinged smell most salon bought colour protect shampoos seem to have. It lathers nicely and rinses out easily, and it didn't leave my hair with the slimy feeling that some shampoos do after I've had it bleached. I've not noticed my hair colour fading/yellowing so it seems to be doing what it promises - I was using salon bought shampoo before this so at less than half the price, this one will definitely be on my list of products to use again.

Tips: No fiddly instructions about leaving it on or anything - shampoo as per usual!

Suitable shampoo

Bottle is a bit gaudy and basic looking with its fire engine red shade. I found the size a bit wide for my smaller hands, however liked that the lid opened easily. Pleasant smell, and good creamy consistency of product. My hair is salon coloured with permanent product, and as I didn't use for 28 washes it was a bit hard to tell whether the colour is protected over time. Didn't seem to wash out as well as my usual, similarly priced brand. Would buy again as an 'in between' bottle as a switch from my usual brand which I'll continue buying.

Tips: Use a little and rinse well.

On the Fence

When this product arrived first impressions 1. Love the standout Colour of packaging 2. The smell of the product is great makes you feel like your in a salon. 3. I don't like the shape of the bottle as it's narrow at the base so falls over in the shower easily and the openings at the top, which makes it hard to get the last bit out.

On using this Shampoo it felt great when applied, did lather quite alot so don't need much. When rinising I found it made my hair feel stripped. (of course when conditioner applied felt better)

I had coloured my hair 2 weeks before this trial with dark roots and blonde ends. My hair is of medium thickness (just to give you an idea of what type of hair I've got and how it worked for me)

I found my hair shiny when dry, but extra fluffy and puffy. I don't feel I could say 100% it has prolonged my colour, but I guess I could give you more feed back in the coming weeks.

Definatly has more shine.

I
