L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I have been so impressed with this product! I had my hair coloured 3-4 weeks ago, and since using It I have had about 3-4 comments from people I work with asking if I've just had my hair done! Usually this never happens 3-4 weeks following a colour. I Love that I doesn't leave my hair feeling stripped like most other colour protectant products! My hair also is staying smooth for longer which is great because I can string out the length of when I have to wash it. Completely satisfied with this product!

First off!! Super speedy delivery BR team!

As soon as the Shampoo arrived I jumped straight in the shower.

The packaging is bright (red) ,welcoming and very user friendly.

I opened the lid poured a small amount out and sniffed away (I do this, I go buy smell) and wow!! It smells so good!

The shampoo bubbled nicely , rinsed clean. And my hair felt soft, refreshed and clean.

Since I had old colour in my hair I watched the bubbles very carefully. They were still white. Now if you colour your hair plum or red it always washes some colour away.

WELL NOT THIS TIME!!

I was quite gobsmacked. It really didn't strip any!

So I followed with the matching Condtioner (Mmmmmmmmmmm by the way!!) Could not stop smelling my hair it was super shiny! Smelt amazing!

So I thought since I had like 2 inches of gross regrowth I thought I'd put the 80% colour retained, to the test.

I colour my regrowth using Garnier Colour Sensation Deep Amethyst to the test.

When it came to washing the colour out, not that much washed away!

It's now been over a week of the colour (grrr I already have regrowth) and there is NO, yes that's right!! NO colour loss upon shampoos.

This have never happened.

Even when I used Salon Shampoo!!

So I highly recommend this Shampoo.

Especially if you have coloured plum or red hair.

I will be purchasing another set :D

Very nice to use. Lathers up well and leaves hair feeling very clean but definately not dried out. I love the smell too. My scalp, which is sensitive, seems to be liking it too, no itching at all.

After using kerestance for many years I was pleasantly surprised by this product and the conditioner. Smelt great, didn't leave the hair dry feeling before conditioning and the body I could get when drying my fine hair was good.

I've been using this for the past few weeks and have noticed my hair colour has been well maintained, it has been dyed a few months ago, and normally fades within this time. I've found this shampoo has really helped lengthen the time my colour lasts, and keeps it looking fresh.

I love the smell of this shampoo, and don't need to use too much to get a good lather.

Works well in conjunction with the conditioner.

This is a really great shampoo, especially for the price, it is often on special at the supermarket, I like how this shampoo is easily accessible to buy at any local supermarket. Will definitely be repurchasing.

Amazing, loved it and still using it and will continue to use. It didnt dry my coloured hair!! Made it silky and shiny. No fading from my colour after a week of use.

Would definitely use this again, great price and left my hair feeling silky smooth and didn't wash any of my colour out :) love the smell aswell!

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.

I was very impressed with both products .The Elvive shampoo is very nourishing. as i have bleached hair, which i have now tinted slightly darker i found the shampoo very gentle on my hair ,plus i didn't loose any colour residue it didn't strip out my colour , as i wash my hair every second day the texture felt good i found the shampoo nice and thick didn't run every where and you only need to use a small amount

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
