L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

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.

I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for the last few weeks (washing every second day).

I love the colour and the design of these bottles always a bonus to have both bottles with a flat cap to flip them upside down when supply is low.

The shampoo was nice and thick which gave a really good lather and a nice scent to go with it. Not fruity as such more of a nice professional salon smell to it which lasted til my next wash.

The conditioner was creamy in texture and just as nice to smell, i only ever use a tiny bit at the ends of my hair so that it isnt too heavy on my hair.

The result: Lovely silky hair with a (almost) salon quality shine. I have highlighted hair and didn't notice any brassiness or dullness in my colour. Thank you beauty review, for the price i might just repurchase in the future.

I've noticed the appearance of my hair after using this continuously for two weeks. This conditioner deeply penetrates into my dry and damaged hair. My hair feels soft and silky after the first week and it helps to enhanced my newly colored hair. The consistency of this conditioner is thick which allows me to use only a little and it goes a long way.

After dying my hair to Ombre shades I was more than happy to give this shampoo and conditioner a go! I really feel like my hair has improved since using these every second day.

The conditioner- I LOVE this conditioner, the pure richness and creamyness of it had me sold from the first time I used it. I have long, dry hair so is quite hard to please. When rinsing the conditioner off your hair just turns to silk. It smells amazing. The packaging is professional and stands out as a beautiful vibrent red! After getting out of the shower I have also noticed my hair is so much easier to brush through afterwards. I will definately be repurchasing these products, for the price I think they are worth it! Every day wear of my hair has looked shinyer and healthier. When used with the shampoo I was looking closely at the colouring of my hair, I haven't noticed much difference with colour fade, but maybe over time once I have finished the bottles I will be able to see how the colour looks.

As a match for the shampoo, I loved this conditioner. It smells great, and left my hair feeling wonderfully soft and healthy. It's creamy and I didn't need a lot of it to go through my hair. My hair feels great for longer than usual after this conditioner so I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

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!

I was very fortunate to receive the shampoo and conditioner trialthe day I had my hair cut and coloured.

The shampoo comes in a attractive red container, very easy to use.

The fragrance of the conditioner is pleasant and lasts most of the day.

After washing, conditioning and drying my hair, I found my hair was nice and soft, has a lot more body to it, and easy to style

My colour has not faded, and still has the same appearance as it was when I left the hairdressers - so big ups for this product
