L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

I recently purchased the large 750ml Bottles from the warehouse for only $9 each. With pump tops (YAY)

We all use the shampoo and conditioner (two 10 yr olds and a 12 yrd old) they will last a long time.

I love the fragrance and it really does last amazingly well in your hair.

Gorgeous thick texture the melts into your hair.

It really does smooth and add shine and leave it detangled.

I chose the total repair as my hair is very split and dry I have not cut my hair since september, my hair is so long.

Even tho i know that once hair is split you cannot magically repair it, but you can use products like the total repair to mask the ends. And it does for me.

My hair is smooth and very silky. No frizz for me!!

So shiny and nourished. My girls hair look gorgeous aswell.

A keeper in our house.

I am a bit picky when it comes to the Shampoos and Conditioners I like therefore I didn't have high hopes for this considering the low price tag. In spite of this I was pleasantly surprised by this conditioner.

First of all I loooove the scent of this range. It smells like a lovely expensive floral perfume and adore the smell it leaves lingering in my hair (the lingering scent doesn't last long, but, is lovely for the time it is there). The packaging is pretty standard but very functional and easy to get the product out of. One problem I have is the similarity of the conditioner and shampoo bottles, if your a ditz like me it can be easy to confuse the too haha.

The conditioner itself is quite a thin runny consistency and I do find I have to use quite a bit of product to coat the entire lengths of my hair and compared to the volume require for the matching shampoo (which is minuscule) I imagine I will go through three conditioners before I finish one of the matching shampoos's. Who else agree's they should make conditioner's twice the size of Shampoo's?! After leaving the product in my hair for a few minutes and rinsing it out my hair is left feeling lovely and smooth, tangle free and nicely hydrated. I find this softness lasts once my hair dries and really does give my hair a nice shine. I had very dry and damaged thick hair and find this conditioner helps make my hair look a lot more healthy.

For the price I think this is a great product and something I will enjoy using.

The conditioner was really disappointing as it was very runny and too thin a texture to do any good. The bottle is designed to be upside down so when you flip the lid to open it, the conditioner POURED out and was wasted.

It smelled of red apples but didn't smell as nice on the hair and the smell didn't linger for long on the hair. Maybe this was due to it being so thin and was all washed out when rinsed.

Also I needed to use a lot to make it feel like I had conditioner in it.

I don't think my hair felt any more restored, silky or shiny after using this product unlike other conditioners. And for this reason I would not buy it or recommend it to anyone.

The first thing that hit about this was the smell. It smells absolutely divine. I wash my hair at night and would sit in bed just smelling it, my fiancé looking at me like I'm crazy.

I found that the texture of this was rather milky, a bit liquidy, whereas I'm used to quite thick and creamy. It was a bit unusual for me, but it still went into my hair nicely. It went in a bit thin, but stayed in my hair and made it lovely.

At first, I didn't really notice much difference, but quickly realised that my hair was so much more manageable, less dry and knotty, and silky smooth. I was so impressed, especially when I realised how much healthier my hair was looking and feeling. When I ran out (thanks my brother using 1/4 of the bottle for no apparent reason!), I had use a backup conditioner I had, and my hair was much more dry and knotty and lacklustre. I went out as quickly as possible to buy another bottle! This has definitely become my new favourite conditioner and going to recommend it to everyone of my friends with damaged hair.

I'm really pleased I trailed this product. In my opinion this conditioner after using the shampoo made my hair feel soft and shiny and left it looking repaired. The consistency of this is creamy and you don't need to squeeze the bottle too much before the product comes out . It is easy to apply like every other conditioner but found for it to be more effective on thicker hair I needed to use quite a bit for it to reach from roots to tip The smell of this is very delightful with a light hint of floral that last between 4- 6 hrs maximum as I have a busy lifestyle chasing four children. I felt I needed to quite a bit for total coverage but this didn't bother me too much as I do use a bit with other conditioners also. This product is economical and would defiantly suit families or couples and could last for up to a month if used sparingly. It is in expensive and can be accessed a most supermarkets and my local dairy has this in stock for $5.99 . The packaging is simple but clear of what it hopes to achieve and the back clearly labels the ingredients and states that it should leave your hair feeling restored, stronger, vitality, silky to touch and leave a healthy shine. It has a secure lid that clips firmly. The end results for me after using this product my hair is that it did leave it soft, shinny and looking repaired and I probably would use this again without the shampoo. I would probably recommend this conditioner to others but without the shampoo due to it having a nice fragrance and it being affordable.

I have a dry scalp - oily hair situation. I love this conditioner as it goes so well with the anti-dandruff shampoos I use. Makes my hair manageable and smooth. Will definitely be purchasing this again.

I picked this up along with the matching shampoo from Countdown. It comes in a 300ml bottle but you can also get it in a much larger bottle with a pump. It is very affordable especially when on special, I paid around $6.

It smells devine, the scent also lingers in your hair and I love getting whiffs of it throughout the day. It is lovely and thick, I really love the consistency. I slather it on and let it sit while I go about my shower. It washes out easily but be careful because this makes my shower floor really slippery.

I get no colour washout with this which is great. I use this along with the matching shampoo and I feel they work best together. It makes my hair beautiful, soft, hydrated and super shiny. Definitely great for a supermarket conditioner. Would repurchase for sure.

I have used this conditioner many times due to it being one of my all time favorites. When this first came out I didn't find the packaging all that appealing as I thought it was cheap looking but since they have redesigned it I really love it. I started using this conditioner due to my father purchasing it for me and have never gone back to using a different supermarket brand of conditioner that is marketed to restore your hair. I had very dry/damaged hair when I was using this conditoner and found that this actually did help to repair it and made it look healthy. I love the smell of this conditioner even though it has been so long since I have used it. My hair feels so silky and shiny after using this conditioner. I will definitely repurchase this product again as I love it.

Like the shampoo this conditioner didn't really reap good results.

I needed Loads of conditioner so my hair didn't feel like straw after using with the shampoo and after I washed it out my hair was dry, stringy, and fluffy.

My mother even commented on how dry my hair was and what did I do to it.

Like the shampoo though this conditioner smelled wonderful and was presented in a gorgeous easy to dispense bottle..

Unfortunately just not for my hair type I don't think..
