L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour-Protect Shampoo & Conditioner

As a shampoo & conditioner it did the job fine. Not great but OK. The shampoo was slightly harsher than I would have expected for a colour protecting product but the conditioner did leave my hair feeling soft & untangled, But it did not protect my hair colour anymore than a normal shampoo or conditioner. I often dye my hair shades of Red, Plum/violets & dark browns so I was really looking for something to keep them looking vibrant longer sadly this didn't reduce the fade time at all.

I really like the smell off these products. They cleaned and conditioned my hair really well but for the price I think there are other products out there that may help to keep your coloured hair bright. My hair was dyed about a month ago and it hasn't seemed to help make the colour "stay". It did however make my hair smooth and shiny and so I will keep using it as I hate wasting stuff lol

I use this as a standby product when my usual isn't on special. It's not the best shampoo and conditioner, but it's far from being the worst. Pleasant smell, doesn't dry out my hair or leave it too greasy. Reasonably priced.

The shampoo made my hair a little dry, but the conditioner made it soft. When I coloured my hair, I used this and it DID strip away some colour which I was not so happy about. On a positive note, it smelled great! Sadly, that was it.

I thought I give this a try when it was on special at countdown and it was a pretty decent shampoo and conditioner. It had a really nice smell and consistency and left my hair feeling clean and soft. I'm not sure that I would go out of my way to buy it again, but would certainly pick it up on special.

This product came up on sale at Pak n Save for $4.95 each.

Looked forward to trying it out however was a bit let down. The fragrance is nice but it leaves my hair feeling oily and like it has a build up.

After a week I did the reverse washing, conditioner first then shampoo and felt much happier with how my hair felt. It felt clean and soft. So obviously the condition is to heavy for my hair.

I did find my hair had a nice shine to it it also, so for a cheap product it isn't too bad but I think I wouldn't go racing out to buy this set again

I typically colour my hair with quite pastely colours that fade super quickly and but since I switched to this it's hardly faded at all! It smells good and saves me hair dye, i'm a bit in love. This entire range has accidentally taken over my shower oops.

Received both to trial from Beauty Review and although they have a lovely fragrance this seems to dry out my hair too much. I haven't really noticed a difference with regards to colour protection and don't think I would purchase this once my bottles are empty.

I received both as a trial from Beauty Review and unfortunately they are not what I was looking for. They have a wonderful smell but it did leave my hair greasy and my colour has no difference. After using it for just over a week, I noticed that it made no difference to my hair and is no different to the other shampoo and conditioner you buy from the supermarket. I would only use this as a las resort and it left my hair dry and made my colour look drab rather than fab

I was really excited to try this combo because normally I find the colour fades out of my hair very fast.

The packaging for both is great! I love the vibrant red - it certainly brightened up my bathroom! I love that the lid on the shampoo is flat so that if you wanted to sit it upside down when the product was starting to run out, you could do it without worrying that it's going to fall over. And the lid for the conditioner is on the bottom already so you don't have to pick a battle with the bottle to get the last remaining bit of conditioner out anyway.

The shampoo was pretty average. It cleaned my hair but I found that it would be greasy the next day so unless I wanted to rock the grunge look, I had to wash it everyday. Being a busy Mum of three boys, I just don't have time to do this every day. I did like the scent though - it's not too overpowering. I would compare it to a perfumed talcum powder smell, but better!

The conditioner was great! It's a really creamy formula and it actually felt like it was nourishing my hair. It left it so soft and manageable so I give it a big thumbs up. I would actually probably buy just the conditioner alone =)

I don't think that either had any effect on the colour of my hair unfortunately. It still faded like it normally would which was a bit of a shame. Looks like I'm still on the hunt for a decent colour protecting shampoo and conditioner!
