L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

The product claims to preserve your hair after 28 washes but I can't say this is true or not as im not one to wash my hair 28 time in the period of two weeks. But I did try it a couple of times!

When it comes to washing my hair I like to use a range of shampoos one being a colour protect shampoo as i regularly am dying my hair blonde.

When I first opened the bottle I was surprised to see the shampoo was not purple as most shampoo I have used are but them I realized that the Loreal shampoo is targeted toward all hair types not just blondes.

I was a little bit skeptical at first as my hair is something I really take care of and I find my self reaching for more high end hair products as they don't tend to make my hair oily as fast.

After my first use I was pretty impressed. First the products smells amazing! and my hair was very soft. But the product did make my hair very flat and it seemed to be lacking volume. When it came to oil I didn't need to wash my hair any more then I had to with my other shampoos which was a big plus for me.

Over the next couple of uses my color was staying nice and blonde and no brassy tones were to be found!

I recommend this product if you are looking for a nice cheap colour protecting shampoo. I have found better high end ones on the market, but for a drug store product it is good.

Loved the smell straight away but just didnt quite cut it for me as a shampoo. Colour didnt seem to last any longer than normal BUT I do use a vibrant red currently which I will admit fades fast. My hair was more luminous and had more shine so I was pleased in that respect. It definitely improved the overall condition of my hair too (used in conjunction with the conditioner) so I would recommend. Would I use it again? Yes but only if I had a different hair colour.

Well after using this for two weeks I think my hair colour has not faded although I did see some hair colour wash away with the shampoo, witch was a bit disappointing. I loved the smell and it made my hair smell lovely for the whole day. after using the conditioner as well it made my hair nice and soft and silky.

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.

Trialed this as apart of this website which was awesome because free stuff cool!!

Nice bright packaging which is eye-catching and to me it looks a bit fancier than your standard shampoo! So upon showering with a head full of hair spray, I used about a 50c coin and it lathered up something crazy which i love shampoo doing - but apparently this is a bad sign? However, i like it because then i know what parts i've missed etc. Once i washed it out i still didnt really feel clean and felt a little straw like. The next couple of times i shampooed it felt the same that it didnt fully clean my hair! So i'm unsure about this product but on a plus side it smelt good!

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

For some context here, I colour my hair with a semi-permanent colour, not a permanent one.

My colour would normally begin to fade to its normal coppery tone after about 4 weeks, but after using this it seems to have lasted a little longer than usual, but nowhere near as long as the loreal professionnel version of this does. For the price point though, it's probably worth it.

The smell is nice, but strong enough that a colleague mentioned smelling it in the lift when I exited.

Did leave my hair feeling quite soft and manageable which was impressive. After so much colouring, my hair is usually a matted mess after a single gust of wind but not with this shampoo and conditioner.

This product is awesome it made my colour last a lot long then it would normally with any other shampoo.it was nice and thick and made my here nice and soft.the only thing I didn't like was that I would have to wash my hair like 3 times a week cos it felt oily

i thought the smell of shampoo was ok could have been nicer , shampoo foamed up really well and my hair felt very clean afterwards (I gave it two shampoos) used with conditioner which made my hair feel soft and silky afterwards. my colour was fading before I used this product and it brightened my colour and made it look better :)

I use salon branded shampoo but when ive run out or am feeling the purse pinching a bit this L'Oréal shampp and conditiomer combo is my go to brand. Light and non greasy a good substitute for a short time. After a while my hair starts to feel limp so I drop the conditioner back and it comes right.
