I decided to try the L'Oreal Parsi Elvive Colour Protect Conditioner (and Shampoo) because my blonde highlights were going brassy very quickly and this product is designed for highlighted or coloured hair.
The packaging is bright red and the conditioner inside looks like the standard white conditioner.
Since using this conditioner, I have found my highlights say the colour they are meant to be for longer which is exactly what I'd hoped for.
My hair is still a little dry, but this product has definitely given it a colour boost.
Now compared to the shampoo in the set this is the golden boy. I got the set a couple of months ago when I needed something to try and protect the colour in my hair from fading in two or three washes. I had high hopes because of past experiences with the same brand in the past.
The red gets me every single time. Red is my life really. The formula is very creamy and thick. It's what I love in a conditioner. I have found when a conditioner is thick it works well with hydrating my damaged hair. It has a very salon smell to it which I don't hate. The smell lasts in my hair until I wash it again 5 days later.
I shampoo with its sister which leaves my hair rope like. I quickly follow it up by smoothing the conditioner through the lengths but stay away from the roots. My fingers almost immediately run through my hair with no knots detected anymore and no dry feeling. I love that it makes my hair feel like wet silk straight after applying it in my hair.
I leave it in for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Again minimal colour is lost down the plug hole, YUSS!! My hair feels amazing and soft. It dries better too and less frizzy! This has quickly become my fave duo because it does what it says it will! I managed to not have to dye my hair again until now (8 weeks later). That is impressive! I am a believer!
Tips: Use the shampoo that comes with it
