L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour-Protect Shampoo & Conditioner

I bought some of this colour protect shampoo and its partner conditioner when they were on sale. The bottle is very attractive and the L'oreal Paris seemed a good brand but I have to say I was disappointed. My hair did;t feel as smooth and silky as it does with my current brand and whilst I wouldn't say the colour deteriorated any quicker with this product it just isn't one I would buy again. Sorry :(

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 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 used this once as I was desperate to wash my hair and had run out of my normal brand. It cleaned it okay but my hair felt limp, looked limp and it just really did nothing for it. I'd use it again if I had to but there are better ones I'd use first.

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.

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!

As a hair care brand I love L'Oreal. It has always been a favorite for my long hair. I saw this combo and thought I would give it a try as it was quite a bit cheaper than the usual ones I buy (from salon). While the smell was nice, and my hair was clean, it wasn't as soft as usual and found my hair to get quite oily rather fast. Definitely not as I expected, although it did make my hair shine. Didn't notice any colour fade either. Everyone's hair and skin is different but this one just wasn't for me.

Found the shampoo to be quite drying on my fine hair. The conditioner made up for it though and they both smelled lovely. Hair was left feeling healthy and shiny.
