L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

This conditioner is really good the hair feels really smooth and the hair does not feel porous it seals the cutical and makes it so easy for blow drying .

I really like to feel the conditioner in my hair and I felt the amount I used didn't quite spread over the hair as much as the shampoo did. I felt like I could have used more to cover the hair. It did make my hair feel soft afterwards so must have done a good job even though it didn't feel like it. I think it did as good a job as the salon brand conditioner that I used in keeping the colour strong in my hair. Nice to know I can buy this at the supermarket with my normal shop and not have to go out of my way to buy shampoo

I love this conditioner. It smells great, a small amount goes a long way and my hair was left smelling great as well as feeling, and looking, silky and shiny. I used this conditioner after shampooing with the Elvive Colour Protect conditioner between colours but am going to continue using and hoping it is effective at protecting my new colour which I am getting done next week. So far however, the signs are good and I had a compliment from a work colleague who asked if I had had my hair done as it was looking great. Would I buy it again? absolutely! In fact I spotted it on offer in the supermarket and have a bottle of shampoo and conditioner sitting in my cupboard already :)

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 used this product in conjunction with it's partnered shampoo. The technique I used was shampoo twice, condition once. The product smelt lovely and was nice and smooth as I put it through my hair. I left the conditioner to do it's magic while I completed the rest of my shower. The product rinsed out well. My hair is soft and shiny - makes me feel younger and more vibrant. I can not attest to the preservation of my colour as I need to use the product longer before I can confirm that. At this stage my regrowth is the only problem I have with my colour.

I have been using this product for the past 3 weeks every 2-3 days along with the conditioner

the packaging is nice to look out but I found it slipped out of my hands while in the shower the labels have too much writing on them making them less interesting to the eye.

the smell is nice, it's tangy but not a fruity smell.

the texture is what you would expect in a nice pearl colour.

I found after using this with the conditioner my hair ends were super frizzy.. which was disappointing.

I also read on the back packing for the 28 day trial of washes it is using the extraordinary oil as well which I did not use.

My coloured hair has faded over the use of using this, it is not as vibrant as it normally is and feel very straw like not nourished at all.

I am having great results with this Conditioner, It leaves me with shiny, glossy hair that I just cannot stop stroking. It smells nice but I find the smell doesn't last long after your hair is dry.

I love the lovely thick formula that softens my hair immediately and you don't need to use much for a good wash.

The packaging is sleek and I love the colour. It looks great in the shower and doesn't take up much room. I I think it is salon quality conditioner but cheaper.

I was really happy to receive both the shampoo and conditioner to review as I have recently dyed my hair so it was a perfect time to put this product to the test! I was a little apprehensive at first as I was unsure if it would do what it said it would but to my surprise it does!! After leaving the shampoo on for a few minutes I applied the conditioner to top it off - it smells delicious so I was not afraid of using it! I also leave the conditioner on for a few minutes to work its magic. I am really happy with this product and will be buying it in the future. Thanks BR X

I've been using this and the shampoo for a couple of weeks now and I love them. I dislike conditioners that don't feel think, this one is a thick one and I always use too much, this one spreads really easily and it smells nice (not chemically) usually I end up with either that shampoo or conditioner smelling nice, this time BOTH bonus! Have been told my hair smells nice since I've been using this (only by my husband, no one else gets close enough to smell my hair) My hair feels soft and shiny and my colour has been given a boost as it was beginning to fade. Will be purchasing this from now on, want to see what bit will be like on fresh newly coloured hair

I’ve waited til the very last minute to submit my review as I really wanted to give both of these products a really good go so ditched my normal shampoo and conditioner and have exclusively been using these products for the last 2 weeks (and still have some left in each bottle).

First off - the shampoo: It comes in a nice, easy to use bottle. I think its designed to sit upright with the lid on the top but as this part is flat I’ve been keeping it upside down so its always ready to use.

I really love the smell of the shampoo. Its an appley/ fruity scent that’s not too overpowering and makes your hair smell good the day after you’ve used it. It lathers up really easily so you don’t need to use too much and it leaves your hair feeling fresh and clean.

The conditioner is where is all goes wrong for me. It doesn’t smell as nice as the shampoo and I found that within a few days my hair was looking oily/ dirty which never happens with my normal shampoo. This meant that I was having to wash my hair every couple of days instead of twice a week so that also meant that I ended up losing more colour that I normally would.

Overall, I think it’s a good backup product and one that I’d buy to take away on holiday when I don’t want to take a giant bottle. I’ve found that you get what you pay for with hair products so for something around the $8 - $10 mark you cant have super high expectations.
