My hair, left to its own devices, is dry. But then I bleach and colour it on the regular, leaving it dehydrated and frizzy. I was very curious to see if the Elvive Hyaluronic Plump shampoo and conditioner would make a difference.
Initially I was a little confused as, being a purple bottle, I assumed this product was a purpling conditioner for blondes (is purpling a word? Guess it is now!) However I suppose people who bleach their hair are often going to need this type of intense moisture added, so it kinda makes sense being a purple coloured bottle.
The conditioner has a nice bit not overly strong smell - complimentary to the shampoo, but not the same. When I applied it to my hair it spread well and it felt like it was a good moisturising product (I hate it when you have to put more and more on your hair to feel like you have enough to moisture). When I rinsed it out my hair felt soft and smooth.
When my hair dried it felt soft but it was also very light and fluffy - a constant problem for my fine, dry hair.
I usually use solid conditioner for environmental reasons, so I was really really pleased to see the bottle was made of 100% recycled plastic. That is a game-changer for me and means I would repurchase this product.
Was this conditioner better than my usual one? No. Did it do a good job for an affordable, easy to find product? Yes. If I was buying conditioner to go on holiday or my usual stuff ran out before I ordered more I'd definitely throw this one in the shopping trolley!
I have been using the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Hyaluron plump conditioner with the shampoo for the past week. I usually wash my hair every second day with no problems between washes, but this range had me reaching for the dry shampoo.. This conditioner smells & looks gorgeous, i love the fresh scent. Unfortunately i found this conditioner far too heavy for my fine hair. It felt like it took a lot of effort to rinse out of my hair, & i found that it took longer to dry after washing. The morning after washing my hair, I found it to be greasy, which isn't the case when using my regular products.
Tips: Keep off the scalp, especially if you have fine hair. Rinse thoroughly.
