L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

I got to trial this product and I can't say ill be buying this again! Following the shampoo which i felt didn't clean my hair very well this did leave my hair feeling smooth and silky but post shower it was a ball of tangles and knots! I have very long hair so an important thing for me is the post-shower, because i cant stand standing in front of the mirror trying to brush my hair yet pulling half of it out at the same time! The next time i applied time serum in my hair post-shower and it was easier to brush but sometimes i dont have time for that!

If you have shorter hair and knots etc isnt an issue then this could be a good product for your short coloured hair, as in the shower it does make it feel nice and smooth! although dont use to much because it takes awhile to come out!

The Good - I loved the packaging of the conditioner, and the smell was pleasant.

The Bad - It was far too thick for me and was very hard to wash out. It weighed down my hair, felt greasy, and left my hair feeling very flat.

Would I buy again? Probably not. The heaviness of the product out weighs any colour protection benefits.

I salon colour my hair and am always very reluctant to spend a fortune on colour protect products from the salons. I am always on the loo out for a decent conditioner that looks after my colour and helps with the split ends. This stuff does all that. Can't say for sure if it did anything for the colour but it left my hair soft and very moisturised which I love. Great smell too. Will buy this again for sure.

First time i used this it was ok, just like any other conditioner, but the next time i used it i left it in for a long time (Spend the time doing my Frank scrub) and it made my hair quiet smooth, was nice to feel. Though my hair isnt coloured a non natural colour im sure the benefits of this will still happen(:

The Conditioner had a lovely scent like the shampoo. The conditioner is very thick and luxurious when taking from the bottle. Surprisingly you dont need too much to feel the softness in your hair. It has definitely made my hair feel very soft. I am not 100% sure whether it has helped lock in the colour but my hair does feel a whole lot healthier with a glossy look.

I enjoyed trialling this conditioner but not a fan.

I followed the conditioner after the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo.

Unfortunately, using both the conditioner with the shampoo still left my hair feeling flat.

I really like the packaging, vibrant red and the conditioner is easy to extract.

I did not like the fragrance and pleased it did not linger in my hair after.

I certainly did not use in *28 washes.

The conditioner did not add moisture or shine to my hair. I left the conditioner in for 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

I did notice less colour in the rinsing water but may have been because I only had my roots re-done and have waist length, thick hair.

Smells lovely but unfortunately gives me itchy scalp and dandruff with my sensitive skin. I like how it smells fruity and is easy to wash out and makes my hair feel really soft but I wouldn't buy it. Didn't find it held my colour any better either.

I used this along with the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo and I really like it. The conditioner is nice and thick and glides on easily and washes out easy. It doesn't have a really strong smell like the shampoo does. Using both the shampoo and conditioner together leaves my hair shiny, smooth and vibrant. My hair doesn't get oily as fast as it usually does which is a great thing for me as I like to wash my hair once a week to make my semi-permanent dye stay brighter longer. It says it targets damaged areas and I think it's true because I had split ends that made my hair really hard to brush, now my brush glides through my hair a lot easier! I'll definitely be buying this again.

250ml bottle, has a nicier frangrance than the shampoo, not such a chemical smell, went on well and once again didn't have to use that much as i have short fine hair, for the price ok product, but i prefer my salon brought product, found it easy to rinse out didn't really notice any difference in the fading of my hair colour, would like to see how it works in the summer months as i have a copper colour in my hair that fades quickly.

Paired with the shampoo this product really is a gem! I love the creamy texture and makes my hair feel silky smooth afterwards. Wish it smelt a bit nicer (its not bad but i love fruity long lasting smells!). Really has given my hair a shine and i do think that my coloured hair has retained its same colour which is great!
