L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I was skeptical with this, they never do what they say, they always smell terrible. Not this one!! It smells nice in your hand and leaves you hair smelling good (my husband has been telling me my hair smells nice since I've been using this) and my supermarket coloured hair has seemed to be more vibrant. Also it gives you the "I feel clean!" feeling that some shampoos lack. I will be buying this once its run out

I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for the last few weeks (washing every second day).

I love the colour and the design of these bottles always a bonus to have both bottles with a flat cap to flip them upside down when supply is low.

The shampoo was nice and thick which gave a really good lather and a nice scent to go with it. Not fruity as such more of a nice professional salon smell to it which lasted til my next wash.

The conditioner was creamy in texture and just as nice to smell, i only ever use a tiny bit at the ends of my hair so that it isnt too heavy on my hair.

The result: Lovely silky hair with a (almost) salon quality shine. I have highlighted hair and didn't notice any brassiness or dullness in my colour. Thank you beauty review, for the price i might just repurchase in the future.

My hair was fizzy, dry and damaged after many attempts of hair dying and straightening. I had dyed my hair before putting this product to test. My first impression was - it smells devine and I love the consistency of the shampoo. I have been using this product for the past two weeks and noticed it does enhanced my hair color and at the same time it nourishes my dry scalp too.

I haven't noticed any color fading off at the moment, will definitely keep using it. Pairing this shampoo with the conditioner does helps to enhanced the appearance of my hair color - I'm now loving my healthy and radiance looking hair. I can't help it but to stock up a few more bottles from the supermarket. its definitively a product worth trailing.

After dying my hair to Ombre shades I was more than happy to give this shampoo and conditioner a go! I really feel like my hair has improved since using these every second day. The shampoo- Smells amazing which lasted right through to the next wash (sometimes longer than 2nd day). Foamed up nicely and didn't leave my hair feeling dry like a lot of shampoos do. I have noticed my hair a little more frizzy on the top of my head but it hasn't bothered me as my hair is frizzy anyway, so doesn't effect my review. I love the bottle how you can turn it upside down to get the most out of the product, and I love the professional vibrent red packaging, it really stands out! As far as shampoos go, I would repurchase for the price! When used with the conditioner I was looking closely at the colouring of my hair, I haven't noticed much difference with colour fade, but maybe over time once I have finished the bottles I will be able to see how the colour looks.

I've been testing out a few colour protect shampoos to see if any are helpful for retaining my temporary colours just a little bit longer. This is one of the better ones I have used. I really enjoyed the smell of it, and I found that I didn't need a lot to lather nicely for washing. It's difficult to judge on the colour retention factor, but I did find that it washed out around the same amount or less on the first wash after dying, so that seems good in my opinion!

I received my shampoo in the post very quickly thank you BR team, and I was really looking forward to using this product as I have changed my hair colour from dark brown to light brown with blonde highlights.

I liked the smell of the shampoo, and the packaging is pleasing on the eye, it is a nice slim shape to help with storage in the bathroom.

I have very curly hair and quite dry,and I found as I was washing my hair with this shampoo, it was making me hair all matted and knotted up and felt like straw.

I tried different ways of washing my hair, but still found the same result, matted hair and all knotty, not a nice feeling. No matter how much or how little I used of the product.

I did not notice any difference to my hair colour at all. The colour faded as much as it has done before, and it certainly was not looking radiant or shiny as it claims.

My hair felt quite dry after washing, and when I was blow drying my hair, I found my hair was becoming more frizzy.

The positive comment on this product, is that it did not make my hair oily at the roots at all, even after 3 days, unlike some other colour shampoos I have tried. This is a great bonus, as it means less hair washing for me.

My hair was not looking any shinier and was not feeling any softer, even though it claims to do so.

I found that it does not nourish the hair enough for me to want to buy this particular product in the future, but I would not be put off trying other L'Oreal shampoos, as I feel I need to maybe try a shampoo for dry hair instead.

This is an affordable shampoo that everyone can use, and easily found in all supermarkets.

I was really looking forward to this trial because I typically dye my hair more...unusual colours. At the moment I have been rocking the purple but I had a slight dye mishap leaving me with green hair which I have to slowly cut out due to it being permanent which means I couldn't test this shampoo as well as I wanted to in terms of how long the colour lasted.

In saying that I do find that my green hair does seem to be much more vibrant from using this shampoo. It has a pleasant smell and while my hair was a bit knotty after washing it out my hair tends to always be like that if I don't use a conditioner.

I think I will put it aside and use it retrial it again when I can redye my hair just to test it properly but overall I do like it

I have been using these products for 2 weeks now, I applied the shampoo with my hands, it smelt great. Making sure to massage it through my hair and onto my scalp, it was easy to rinse. I must say I usually have a slightly irritated scalp. My scalp did not like this product much, it began to itch inbetween the daily washes.. My hair did seem to be more greasy, although it wasn't from left over product ,as I made sure I rinsed it out. Overall I didn't like he product as it irritated my sensitive scalp more.

I received this as part of the trial and So far I am really impressed with this product. I've recently recoloured my hair mahogany with bright red highlights so the timing was perfect. The first thing I noticed was that when I lathered up my hair, the foam didn't turn pink like it has done with other products. I also loved the feel of the foam, really soft and silky. It leaves my hair feeling really clean and soft. Although the one time I thought I could get away with only 1 wash, my hair was greasy and dull the next day.

I have to admit here that I'm a bit of a shampoo snob, I only ever buy from my hairdresser. Suffice to say I was sceptical about any benefits this shampoo would bring. I was so wrong! The first thing I noticed was the delicious smell, then how clean my scalp felt (I'd just had a sweaty session at the gym so was really putting it through it's paces). Over time I have noticed how great my colour looks, I've got blondish highlights which look soft and fresh. This shampoo snob is definitely converted!
