L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour-Protect Shampoo & Conditioner

Shampoo

I really liked this product, to test this out my hair had recently been streaked blonde which does usually tend to fade out nicely as it grows.

This product had a nice consistency wasn't too liquidy and lathered up nicely. I only needed a small amount of this product. This shampoo combined with the conditioner left my hair smooth and easy to brush.

The packaging was nice and sleek and looks lovely in my shower, the lid is easy to open. This product smells amazing and very much like a salon shampoo, the scent also lasts through to when my hair is dry.

I don't think this shampoo fully protected my colour but it hasn't faded as much as when I use other shampoos.

Conditioner

I really liked this product, to test this out my hair had recently been streaked blonde which does usually tend to fade out nicely as it grows.

This product had a nice thick consistency which was great to leave on my hair for a few minutes without dripping off. I only needed a small amount of this product. This conditioner left my hair smooth and easy to brush. It also left my hair feeling lightweight and not weighed down.

The packaging was nice and sleek and looks lovely in my shower, the lid is easy to open. This product smells amazing and very much like a salon conditioner, the scent also lasts through to when my hair is dry.

I don't think this conditioner fully protected my colour but it hasn't faded as much as when I use other shampoos and conditioners do.

If you are wanting to protect your coloured hair but are not wanting to fork out the mega bucks for the fancy shampoos and conditioners' from the salons, then this shampoo & conditioner is for you! It leaves your hair feeling nourished, without over greasing it. It is not too liquidy so you only need a small dab (therefore it lasts quite a while too!). My go-to shampoo and conditioner all the time!

This product did not work for me. The smell was nice but I didn't find it worked well. It took two tries before I could get a lather up and left my hair feeling oily and not clean. After several uses my hair follicles were getting infected and I had little red bumps everywhere. Definitely not suited to everyone I wouldn't buy again.

I got this shampoo and conditioner in preparation for the Loreal hair colour trial that I was picked by BR for. I thought I would really give the colour the best conditions and use a colour protect shampoo. I had perviously used the Arganine resist shampoo and conditioner from this range and really liked them. Unfortunately this one not so much. I found it made my hair quite dry and straw like and it was quite unmanageable and frizzy when I had been using it for a few weeks. I wasn't even using this product solely once I had applied the colour to my hair as it was so dry and in need of moisture. However the shampoo and conditioner that I'm using at the moment are a bit too moisturising so I am using this every couple of weeks as a balance to the one thats too much. I really sould like I'm hard to please with this review but I've not been so fickle with shampoo and conditioner befoer I promise. In terms of the product its self its packaged well and it has the texture you would expect for each product and the both smell nice. Overall not a bad shampoo and conditioner it just doesn't quite meet the needs of my hair at the moment.

I was doing my normal spot of shopping at the super market and I was looking for some shampoo and conditioner that will lock in my colour and keep my hair colour looking good.

Both bottles come in a 250 mls. Both bright red bottles with the Loreal labelling on the front. These bottles are easy to open and close. The texture of this shampoo is like any normal liquid shampoo/conditioner. The scent of this smells really nice. I did find the shampoo easy to lather into my hair. It did wash my colour out with each wash. I did notice colour coming out in the water. The conditioner just glided through my hair. My hair feels soft and manageable.

Price wise I think they could be priced lower as you are getting only 250 mls in a bottle. Whereas you could get a 750 ml bottle of Tresseme for around the same price. Luckily I managed to get it for $4 per bottle. I wash my hair about two to three times a week.. My ends a quite dry. My colour is vibrant.

I love using hair products for colored hair. Salon products can be so expensive so i was glad when I came across this at the supermarket. First impressions is that it had a really nice smell and I liked the packaging. It left my hair feeling soft and looked shiny. I would use this product again however it has a lot of chemicals at the moment, and right now I am opting for natural hair products. On a positive note its a really good price and it did leave my hair feeling nice.

I have been using this set together for quite a while. Though I do find I buy 3 conditioners to 2 shampoos.

The shampoo and the conditioner are both white, creamy and lather up reasonably well.

I have found they sustain my colour better than any other shampoo I've tried in the same price range. While my hair feels miles cleaner and a little softer after using the conditioner, I've found I've had to use a hair serum afterwards to really make my hair feel softer and more hydrated.

I've also found that I go through them quite quickly, especially the conditioner.

I would keep using them until I found something better as they're currently the best products I've found, but they could be better.

Ok, so I recall using both these products twice. I love the fragrance as well as the formula for leaving my locks shiny and soft after dying my hair. I don't believe it helped my colour last longer, instead the colour lasted as it would when using normal shampoos. My hair was a lot more manageable and healthy looking when using these products.

Love the way both the shampoo and conditioner smells. It leaves my hair feeling clean and soft, making it look healthy and clean. Always get told how great my hair looks and when i go to the hairdressers they always say my hair is in good condition.

I have dyed black hair and like to keep my colour looking fresh and vibrant. I saw these at the supermarket for about $5 for a large bottle so decided to give it a try.

The bottles are gorgeous vibrant red and I find them very attractive.  The shampoo is on the thicker side, sometimes I actually think I've accidentally used the conditioner instead so I have to check.

It lathers up well in my hair, you only need a little bit and I feel I use far too much every time I use it. It does not leave my hair feeling like straw or tangled. It has a gorgeous scent which I love.

My hair is left feeling clean however I do get some colour wash out with this which I am not so happy about.

The conditioner is lovely and thick and smells so beautiful. I like to use a big dollop on my long hair then comb through, let it sit while I go about my shower then rinse out. I get no colour wash out.

My hair is left feeling clean and super soft. The colour looks great. Once dry it smells incredible and looks shiny and smooth. Exactly what I want in a conditioner. 

I am super impressed by such a cheap conditioner and I am glad I tried it. It has lasted me a few months with 1-2 washes a week.

Used together as a duo they make a lovely pair. Not sure I would repurchase the shampoo  simply because of the colour wash out when it is supposed to be a colour lock shampoo.
