Good product!

Like I said about the conditioner in my previous review, the sleek design of the packaging is appealing and it is a practical size and shape.

The shampoo is easy to massage into the hair and has a really nice scent to it. It does a good job of washing out and leftover hairspray (which I use most days).

As per my conditioner review, I am unsure about its colour protecting qualities due to the nature of my heavily dyed hair. Regardless, I like this product and would definitely use it again!!

elvive colour protect

The smell of this shampoo is amazing but my hair was left feeling rather oily after using it which was disappointing. It bought out the brightness of a little bit of blonde I had in my tips. I did like this product I would have used it again if it didn't make my hair so oily.

Mixed results

I really enjoyed trialling this product. Positives for me were the scent (very light), the good lather, and I also felt like it was gentle enough to protect the colour in my hair. I loved the feeling after using it...my hair was so soft and silky.

The only negative for me (but enough to think twice whether I'd use it again) is that by day 2, I noticed my hair getting quite greasy. For some reason it really didn't work that great for me - I'd say that I'd probably need to wash my hair daily if I was to use this product regularly.

Tips: Less is more. I found a little goes a long way.

Colour-protect = Yes

So i had been using this shampoo for a while now as i already had brought some myself, so when i recieved my sample from beauty review i was so happy! I have been using this paired with the conditoner for the last month and a bit, and i found that it really does help my hair colour last longer. I get my hair coloured with blonde highlights, and i find that this product does keep the colour the same. With other shampoos and conditioners sometimes my blonde turns to a gross yellow colour! So overall pretty impressed with this product

Tips: Definately pair with the conditioner

Elvive Colour-Protect Shampoo

L'Oreal Elvive 250ml bottle, i would have liked to have waited till my next hairdressers appointment, as the colour in my hair is 1 mth old, so has already faded abit, found the smell of the shampoo a little strong, but as i have short hair, i didn't have to use much, my hair did feel really clean after i rinsed it out , whether it made my colour last longer i'm not sure, but for the price it is alot cheaper than the salon brought shampoo i normally use and as i have fine hair it didn't make it limp

Strong fragrance.. but works great!

The first thing I noticed with this product was the smell. As soon as I opened the courier bag, I could smell the very strong fragrance which sort of put me off as I didn't want my hair smelling that strong. I gave it a go though. The consistency was good, spread through my hair easily and lathered well. It rinsed out great and my hair really felt clean. I used the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner along with the shampoo which worked great together, leaving my hair nice and smooth. My hair didn't have a strong fragrant smell like I thought it would, and the colour in my hair definitely looked shinier and vibrant. My hair seems to have more volume in it too. The bright red in my hair is only semi-permanent, so I thought this shampoo would strip a lot of the colour out like other shampoos I've used, but surprisingly it didn't strip as much as I thought it would. Because I only use semi-permanent red, I try to only wash my hair once a week to make the colour stay brighter for longer. Usually my hair starts to get oily after about 3 days so I need to use a dry shampoo. With this shampoo, I found my hair didn't get oily till the 5th or 6th day which is great! I will definitely buy this again because I love the way it makes my hair feel, and how vibrant the red looks in my hair after using it.

Not as good as i had hoped

This shampoo smells awesome, unfortunately has to much fragrance for my sensitive scalp gives me itchy scalp and dandruff. Does wash out really well and make my hair feel good just not so great on the head. I wouldn't say this shampoo is any better than any other brand and I would definately not buy at this price

Tips: Lower price and less fragrance and it would be a excellent unfortunately its not for me

Sadly not for me

I was realy excited about trialling this shampoo. I certainly haven't washed my hair *28 washes in the time since I have had it.

I love the bright packaging as I am a fan of red. I also like the shape of the bottle and easy to extract the shampoo.

It was great timing as I just had the roots of my hair re-done.

I noticed less colour rinsing in the water but I don't know if this is because I only had a small area touched up. I have waist length, thick hair.

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

The shampoo lathers easily to start but felt extemely dry the more I washed. If I felt like having a 'good scrub', I couldn't. Was a birds nest.

My hair felt flat and doesn't look vibrant or shiny.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo

I just loved the bright packaging/bottle. The scent of the shampoo was very pleasant. You only need a very small amount to lather it up. Definitely goes a long way. I have a lot of trouble keeping my colour to last the distance. This shampoo has definitely helped BUT I still havent found one that will help me keep the colour for 6 weeks. I would use it again and would buy a different type from the Elvive range for my daughter to use.

was ok

Honestly just like any of my other shampoos, hate to say it like that but yeah. I think using the shampoo and conditioner together does help but i so prefer the conditioner alone
