L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I have coloured hair that is wavy and can become dry and frizzy at times. L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo was great because took care of the issues that I have with my hair and it does everything it claims to do. I found after using this product, my hair seemed more radiant and shiny and I also had a few people comment on the colour of my hair as well.

The smell is pleasant, kind of florally and the colour of the bottle is a bright bold red which is a visual bonus for the bathroom. The bottle is also easy to hold and is quite ergonomic overall.

I would buy this product again but found I got the full benefits of this product when using in conjunction with the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner and then using a L'Oréal hair mask once a week.

Nothings worse then maintaining "Red Hair" for those who have Red Hair you know the struggle haha. I have to retouch my hair every 2 weeks to keep the color nice and rich and every time I wash my hair with normal shampoo and conditioner it just strips the colour out. So I was excited to try out the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo & Conditioner. I used it for 2 weeks , and washed my hair every 2-3 days. The first thing i noticed is when I washed my hair it didn't strip my color out which was amazing! It left my hair feeling soft and once my hair had dried I noticed that it made my hair colour look more shiny. I still need to retouch my hair but since using the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect range It has helped my hair color to stay more vibrant for longer.

I picked this up a month ago from Countdown on special for $4 which I thought was a good price for a supermarket shampoo. I used this before I got my hair re-dyed and then after I recently got my hair done. I have dyed blonde hair (from a light brown). I have been dyeing my hair for over 10years now. First off I loved the smell of this Shampoo. It smelt like a salon shampoo which was lovely. So nice to be in the shower feeling a bit fancy. I found it wasn't particularly foaming so it took a bit of working in. It wasn't particularly clarifying. Although this is sort of nice as it isn't drying. I can't speak for how much it keeps my colour in. But it hasn't turned my colour brassy so I'm impressed by that. So overall I enjoyed this, but don't know if it is really any better than any other shampoo I have used.

I don't colour my hair and haven't since I shaved for a cure however I have used this shampoo a number of times now as its really hydrating and tames my hair a lot better than other shampoos. The only thing that I found with this shampoo (as I have a sensitive scalp) it gave me very flaky and itchy scalp after washing my hair a few times with it. It also made my hair after a few days look really oily and if I straightened my hair by the end of the day it was oily. However no frizz or flyaways is worth it at times. The packaging is bright which is awesome. The bottles are easy to get the product out of and hold when squeezing and the price is always a good price. Even though my hair reacted the way it did my daughters hair looks amazing when using it.

In the weekend I purchased this for about 6 or 7 dollars from the warehouse. I have just recently coloured my hair with temporary colour and wanted to get a colour protection shampoo. I don't usually use this line but I have tried some of the others in the past. For reference I have got two bright temporary hair dyes in my hair. The first wash after colouring with temporary dye usually always hectic and seems like alot goes down the plug hole. This shampoo smelt nice and fresh and when I used it thankfully it didn't seem to take as much colour from my hair as a regular shampoo, anti dandruff or clarifying shampoo. I did not buy the matching conditioner because I prefer to use silicone and diamenticone free stuff. I also have plenty of shampoo at home from the vault but was low on some specific to prevent colour loss. My hair was very oily to begin with as I didn't wash it for about a week since colouring it. I don't normally leave it very long except when it's not healthy or I'm trying to keep my colour. This meant I did have to be vigorous around my scalp and near my ears otherwise my hair would still feel greasy or not clean. I didn't shampoo twice as that's something I just don't really do. But I do feel I need to use a bit more than usual as my roots were greasy. My hair feels nice and soft, manageable and not too dry even though I have dry ends and didn't use conditioner this time. I cannot see a problem with this product it seems to work for what I purchased it for. The only gripe I could say was that I feel the bottle wasn't as full as it could of been when I purchased. I can't comment on the 28 wash theory but I'm satisfied so far.

I purchased this from the supermarket at a low price of about $5 to $6. Nice attractive large red bottle and the shampoo has a pleasant but not overpowering scent. Creamy white product that lathers well. I had my hair coloured about two months ago and it hasn't faded much yet. My hair felt clean healthy and shiny with no noticeable colour fade. Would recommend for a budget friendly colour lock shampoo.

This shampoo smells like a sweet candy that I can't quite put my finger on. I started with a small amount, which went a long way. At first, I thought it was going to be very foamy and create a lot of bubbles but it didn't. It cleaned my hair and left it fresh for a couple of days. From what I've experienced, it's just as good as salon products but just at a more affordable price!

I so really like this shampoo, I think mostly because it foams up a lot and it feels like you are giving your hair a great wash! It also smells FANTASTIC! Like salon hair! The bottle shape suits me as well, when it gets low I can flip it upside down. It also fits nicely in my shower caddy and stands upright! I was previously using the Elvive Arginine shampoo before trialling this and my hairdresser said I had great undamaged hair! So that's really good! I just wish that they could combine an arginine with a colour protect - I guess this is because I colour my hair AND worry about my hair falling out so how can you choose? I think generally when you colour your hair it does fall out more than normal so this needs to be part of a colour protect.

I bought this shampoo when I decided to change my hair colour from Bleach Blonde to Ruby Red. Once I opened it I was totally in Love with the smell! I washed my hair with it and my hair didn't feel dry like it normally does after I rinsed the shampoo out. I only had to use a little bit. After the whole styling process my hair not only smelled nice, it felt soft and healthy. Also, while using this shampoo I noticed less hair dye come out so that makes the colour last longer than what it would've if I didn't use this product. Will definitely buy again!

All in all I really like this, the smell is great ,nthe comsistancy is good, it's very moisturising, leaves your hair feeling great. I have not noticed fading at all in my hair colour and it is bright red and usually fades very quick. Most shampoos make me hair very very greasy after a day and I was having to was my hair every day but using this I only wash it every 2 or 3 days!
