L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

I have used this conditioner alongside the matching shampoo and the one think I found that I particularly liked was that my hair felt soft and nourished after I had used it. I usually use a salon conditioner on my coloured hair and felt that this made my hair feel just as nice as the salon conditioner. In terms of protecting my colour, my hair didn't appear to fade any quicker than I would usually notice. If I wasn't buying my normal salon conditioner, I would seriously consider buying this conditioner and trying it out. I would certainly suggest this brand to a friend.

It does make my hair somewhat smoother however when I went to get a haircut just 3 days ago, my hairdresser had advised me to change shampoo and conditioner immediately as she noticed how dry my hair was after using this product.

Used in conjunction with Elevive Colour Protect Shampoo. Conditioner had a good smell which remains in hair. Small amount required (less than what was expected for thick hair). I found this product hard to rinse out of my hair. No matter how many rinses I felt my hair remained "coated" in conditioner. Hair was silky and smooth once dried off though. For a supermarket product it was good although I don't think I will use again mainly due to the feeling it left on my hair.

I have salon dyed blonde hair and so I need a good colour protect conditioner to keep my ends healthy and not like hay. To me, this conditioner also did nothing of what it said it would. It made my ends dry and knotty. It also didn't leave my hair looking radiant or smooth like it said it would on the bottle. Because the retail price is only $8.99 you wouldn't expect a lot from this conditioner either compared to other - more expensive - conditioners but you would still expect to see a little bit of a difference. I get my hair dyed at an expensive salon and after testing out this conditioner, I would not rely on this product alone to protect the colour of my hair - I would prefer to spend more money on better quality conditioner. Even the smell of this conditioner isn't very appealing to me as it smells like cherries. I had to put a hair mask through my ends after each time I used this conditioner just so my ends wouldn't look dull and dry. For the last few days that I trialed this conditioner, I mixed it into my usual more expensive conditioner that I use just so I wouldn't have to use as much of my expensive one and I actually liked the results. My hair was radiant and smooth like it usually is when I just use my expensive conditioner on its own, so I can use these two conditioners mixed together to save money.

This review will be similar to the shampoo one as I always used them together, the conditioner after the shampoo. I enjoyed the way this conditioner made my hair feel. It made it feel soft and appeared shiny. I enjoyed how it seemed to tame my frizz also. A good shampoo for coloured hair.

As said in the title, I think I will need to trial this product a bit longer to see the benefits. As someone who does not wash her hair every day, instead every 2-3 days, I have not experiences the full 28 washes..

I dyed my hair before starting this trial and have washed my hair approximately 12-14 times with the Colour Protect conditioner. After the first wash, I noticed a lightweight finish and an thoroughly nourished bounce in my hair. My hair reacted to styling much better with a nourishing conditioner.

Very cost effective and I haven't noticed a change in my colour yet. I'm happy with how things are going this far.

I love the texture that nice and thick not just a running like water texture. And smell kind of floral and fresh. After wash it does leave ma hair smell nice and soft. After dyed my hair I really need a good hair conditioner that give a life back to my dry hair and also maintain the colour which is this conditioner can do. Bargain price and you Get them in any supermarket.

This shampoo & conditioner is soooo good that the brand i was using (at nearly 3 times the price) is already in the rubbish bin. I loved how shiny my hair was after using the conditioner for the first time, it really seemed to enhance my very recent hair colour. And the smell??? OMG, I love the fragrance of the colour protect range! The conditioner is thick and creamy which is great, nothing worse than a runny conditioner than dribbles out of your hands, especially with the upside down bottle :) My hair seemed to straighten better using this range, wasn't expecting that so that is a great benefit for me and I tend to get lazy and ponytail it if straightening is too much of a mission. I was halfway expecting to have to wash my hair more often with this shampoo & conditioner as they seemed so rich but that wasn't the case at all. My hair stayed shiny and manageable, with no oily buildup - winning! Will definitely buy this again, cannot reccomend it enough.

I have been using this product, daily, for the last week.

I have crazy purple hair at the moment, and normally it is coloured some awesome colour, so I am always on the look out for a product that will help keep my colour for longer. No one wants to spend money on a colour, only for it to fade within days!

It comes in a cool red container, which really stands out amongst all my other bottles hanging out in the shower out the moment. It is such a great price too!

My purple has maintained over this last week, which is great! A conditioner that helps hold colour without costing me a fortune! loving it! My hair feels nice and smooth and healthy, and has a touch of shine to it! This conditioner does everything it says it will! I will definitely continue using this product :)

I received the Shampoo & Conditioner to trial, and both were fantastic. I made sure to freshly dye my hair, before trialing the set. I found that the set did do exactly what it says it would do. It protected my new colour, and made it last longer, did not fade so much every wash/condition. Of course some of my colour did wash down the drain, due to being brand new, but less than what I would have expected! The actual shampoo and conditioner are very easy to apply, and smell really good! However be careful not to get any soap bubbles in your eye when you rinsing off as it can sting a little :). The bright red packaging is attractive, and screams 'colour protect', the set is affordable and definitely a set I will be purchasing again. Overall, I definitely recommend the set, in my opinion it is the whole package!
