L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

Upon asking my daughter to smell this product she started singing "If you like Pina Colada..." - and that's exactly how it smells. Divine!

The conditioner is so much better than the shampoo in my opinion, and it leaves your hair feeling silky soft.

I would probably buy the conditioner again, but I would resort to searching for another shampoo. It's user-friendly, it makes my hair shine and it makes my hair feel light as a feather.

Pack size 250ml. I tried the shampoo and condtioner. Comes out in a nice thick amount. Easily spread onto hair. The instructions were to massage into hair and ends then wash out. I normally leave my conditioner in so this was different for me. The conditoner has a very slight fragrance. I normallly wash my hair every two days and I found by the second day it wasn't feeling as good as other condtioners. The price at $8.99 is rather too much for me so I would not buy this product based on that price. It was packaged in a nice bright red colour. Condtioner packaged so that you would stand it on its head as condtioners are always harder to get out. Would I recommend it to others. Yes, if the price is not an issue with you.

Using this conditioner was a pleasure. The smell was amazing and my hair felt and looked alot less dry on the ends so I could air dry without using product. My hair colour still looks great :)

I received this conditioner very quickly in the post thank you BR Team, and was really looking forward to using it, as I have just changed my hair colour recently.

The packaging is pleasant enough, and the shape of the bottle means easy storage in the bathroom, and it's not at all bulky like some others.

I really liked the smell of the conditioner and the consistency of it.

As soon as I applied the conditioner to my hair after shampooing with the L'Oreal Colour Protect shampoo, which had left my hair matted and knotty, it felt great. Nice and smooth and moisturised and very silky, which was very good as my hair felt so bad and straw like before applying the conditioner.

I would normally apply a further deep conditioning treatment to my hair, but felt I did not need to, as my hair was feeling very soft and silky.

I blow dried my hair as usual, and found that it did not frizz up quite as much, but it certainly was not frizz free.

It claims that the colour radiance is visibly prolonged, accentuates your hair colour and remains shiny and radiant. I would not agree that it has made my colour more radiant or that it accentuates it, but if certainly feels softer and it does not leave my roots oily like other conditioners I have used.

I was really looking forward to this trial because I typically dye my hair more...unusual colours. At the moment I have been rocking the purple but I had a slight dye mishap leaving me with green hair which I have to slowly cut out due to it being permanent which means I couldn't test this conditioner out as well as I intended.

I used to be so slack with conditioner as in I would barely ever use it. It was only in the last yearish that I started religiously using it and this conditioner does not disappoint. Without conditioner my hair always feels dry and knotty but this product got rid of that feeling. My hair was silky smooth and I had to try not to continuously feel it. I used this before I went to a lunch with some girls and some of them were commenting on how soft and nice my hair looks considering I dye it.

I don't feel like I can give a complete review both because I haven't redyed my hair and also because the trial period was a bit too short to see if this conditioner helped repair my hair. I am planning on keeping it aside until after I dye my hair to retrial it though

I received this as part of the trial and So far I am really impressed with this product. I've recently recoloured my hair mahogany with bright red highlights so the timing was perfect. I love the way this product feels - it covers my hair beautifully without feeling too thick. The other biggest factor I noticed was that even though it covered my hair really well, it was still really easy to rinse off and I didn't feel like I had a lot of residue on my hair afterwards. I always seem to have frizzy hair no matter what, and while this hasn't tamed my hair at all (I didn't expect it to) I do feel like my colour is still really radiant and vibrant.

I am now in love with this conditioner. For one thing, my colour looks great - first tick. It also looks so bouncy and soft - I've had multiple compliments and can't stop touching it...or smelling it. For all the benefits for my hair the smell is my favourite!

Container: A red 250ml plastic "tube" like bottle. The lid is a flip lid that opens on the bottom. It is flat so you could stand the conditioner on the top this is a bonus as it is easy to squeeze.

Appearance: The red of the container is bright and attractive. The writing on the front is in gold and white.

Information: The label is clear and informative. It has a clear list of ingredients, a clear and informative paragraph about the aim/secret of the conditioner. Overall for the container/packaging I would give it a 4/5. There is nothing that I can fault the package and presentation on. It is attractive and informative.

The Product: A glorious, sweet smelling white cream like cream. The conditioner smells delicious. A teaspoon worked in at the ends and then up towards the roots soaked right in. I found with this conditioner I was not disappointed. The shampoo cleaned my hair without leaving it feeling dry or "squeaky" and with the conditioner following I found that my hair was a little more controllable and has a little less fuzz. I can say that my hair was coloured a week before receiving this product. It is a copper colour which tends to fade, with this shampoo and conditioner I have not been disappointed my colour has lasted and my hair feels silky smooth.

I find that normally conditioners leave my hair looking and feeling oily, so I was a little hesitant about trialling this product but on reflection I am amazed and delighted at the results. Not once have I felt that my hair looked or felt even slightly oily, instead I have been left with sleek and shiny hair that is frizz free and vibrant in colour!

I am delighted with the results and will definitely purchase this in the future. It offers a salon like smooth finish to your hair and although it was for protecting my colour I have noticed that my hair is far more manageable! The fragrance is absolutely amazing.

For the fragrance I would give it a 5/5. For the texture/thickness of the conditioning cream I would give it a 5/5. For the results I would give it a 5/5. Using the shampoo with the conditioner I would give it a 5/5, using just the shampoo the results are not as fantastic but good as with the conditioner.

For the price, its a good product. Its as good as the salon recommended products at a fraction of the cost. I usually purchase a different brand that is cheaper so the price is a little more that I would normally pay. On saying that I would pay it again as the results are worth it.

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 thick consistency which was great to leave on my hair for a few minutes without dripping off. I only needed a small amount of this product. This conditioner left my hair smooth and easy to brush. It also left my hair feeling lightweight and not weighed down.

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 conditioner, the scent also lasts through to when my hair is dry.

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

I was really pleased to be chosen to trial the L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Conditioner.

To begin with I was pleasantly surprised with the scent of the conditioner. It wasn't overpowering and wouldn't compete with the other fragrances you wear by the time you put on your moisturiser, deodorant, perfume etc. The conditioner is light in consistency and I was really pleased to find that you actually don't need to use much to get a great coverage, making it economical. I left the conditioner on for around 3 -4 minutes before rinsing off, although there weren't any instructions on the bottle to do so. The conditioner rinses out easily. The result left my hair feeling soft and manageable.

Post wash all I do to style my hair is use an Argan oil product. I found that the combination of using the L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner with the oil makes styling my hair really easy, and what's more it stays in fantastic condition for days, not having to straighten my hair in between washes, so I am really pleased with that result.

The product promises to seal colour, protect hair and prolong radiance. I feel like it delivered on most of those. The first time I used it I was a bit annoyed to see some of my colour in the foam that rinsed off. Each application since has taken a bit more of my colour with it, but to be fair to this product this may be more about the colouring product I used, rather than the shampoo and conditioner. I would need to use a different colour to be able to know for sure, so I wouldn't want to blame the Elvive for this, but still mention it as a possible observation that still needs to be resolved.

At my supermarket the shampoo and conditioner retail for $6.59 each and I think that is excellent value for money for the product, and on that basis I would definitely purchase and use it again.
