L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

I enjoyed trialling this conditioner but not a fan.

I followed the conditioner after the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo.

Unfortunately, using both the conditioner with the shampoo still left my hair feeling flat.

I really like the packaging, vibrant red and the conditioner is easy to extract.

I did not like the fragrance and pleased it did not linger in my hair after.

I certainly did not use in *28 washes.

The conditioner did not add moisture or shine to my hair. I left the conditioner in for 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

I did notice less colour in the rinsing water but may have been because I only had my roots re-done and have waist length, thick hair.

The Conditioner had a lovely scent like the shampoo. The conditioner is very thick and luxurious when taking from the bottle. Surprisingly you dont need too much to feel the softness in your hair. It has definitely made my hair feel very soft. I am not 100% sure whether it has helped lock in the colour but my hair does feel a whole lot healthier with a glossy look.

First time i used this it was ok, just like any other conditioner, but the next time i used it i left it in for a long time (Spend the time doing my Frank scrub) and it made my hair quiet smooth, was nice to feel. Though my hair isnt coloured a non natural colour im sure the benefits of this will still happen(:

I salon colour my hair and am always very reluctant to spend a fortune on colour protect products from the salons. I am always on the loo out for a decent conditioner that looks after my colour and helps with the split ends. This stuff does all that. Can't say for sure if it did anything for the colour but it left my hair soft and very moisturised which I love. Great smell too. Will buy this again for sure.

The Good - I loved the packaging of the conditioner, and the smell was pleasant.

The Bad - It was far too thick for me and was very hard to wash out. It weighed down my hair, felt greasy, and left my hair feeling very flat.

Would I buy again? Probably not. The heaviness of the product out weighs any colour protection benefits.

I got to trial this product and I can't say ill be buying this again! Following the shampoo which i felt didn't clean my hair very well this did leave my hair feeling smooth and silky but post shower it was a ball of tangles and knots! I have very long hair so an important thing for me is the post-shower, because i cant stand standing in front of the mirror trying to brush my hair yet pulling half of it out at the same time! The next time i applied time serum in my hair post-shower and it was easier to brush but sometimes i dont have time for that!

If you have shorter hair and knots etc isnt an issue then this could be a good product for your short coloured hair, as in the shower it does make it feel nice and smooth! although dont use to much because it takes awhile to come out!

I was lucky to have the opportunity to trial this product as well as the shampoo of the same brand. I found that using both the shampoo and conditioner made my hair flat and limp although my hair was shiny and soft. So I tried them separately and found it produced a better result for me. The conditioner was pleasant enough, the packaging, a lovely bright red and easy to use bottle with a good flat base. You don't need to use too much conditioner as a little goes a long way. It is value for money, and I would consider using it when my own brand runs out but would not use both this shampoo and conditioner together.

I used this after i used the shampoo i always use conditioner for my hair. I started about the third day use about a pea size as a little goes a long way i find some conditioners leave hair greesy looking this one didnt was great i only use the conditioner now every 3 day when i was it as i dont need to do it all the time as it leaves your hair so good for a couple of days it smell a wee but different to the shampoo so you know that you havent picked up the wrong one.

I used this product following the Elvive colour protect shampoo and it thought it was quite good for a super market brand. The first time I used it it did make my scalp quite oily but not the ends because the ends of my hair are bleached. The nect time I used it I tried only putting it through the ends of my hair and very minimal on my scalp and I found that this made my hair much nicer. It did make my hair very soft but it also made my hair quite fluffy but I would use this only if I was straightening my hair after,

This product came at the perfect time for me, as I had just had my hair coloured blonde Ombre a week before it arrived. (im a natural brunette). The first thing i noticed was the bottle shape & design, this might sound silly but its nice to have a slender bottle so it doesnt take up so much room in the shower! The smell was amazing too, a real clean smell, not overly floral or sweet. The conditioner didnt leave my hair oily or greasy looking which was great, as i have that problem alot with conditioner. and it left my hair feeling great. I have noticed my colour has kept its nice blonde tones and not gone brassy. I have nothing but positive things to say about this product and would reccomend it to anyone.
