L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

A really nice shampoo that doesn't strip your hair of everything. My hair is very dry and often impersonates straw so I was hoping this shampoo was going to be super moisturising, and it was. It's quite thick so I needed a little extra water to get up a good lather and I really liked the smell. Did t do much for the colour of my hair but it definitely ticked all the other boxes. Will get again for sure

I was a bit unsure of this product, as I dye my hair all sorts of weird colours its hard to find something that works. This product worked as well as I could have expected. It didn't hold all of my colour (although I am semi-permanent blue right now so I didn't expect it) but it kept it looking vibrant and not faded at all, unlike other shampoos I have tried. The smell is amazing as well, very floral/fruity.

Leaves my hair feeling fresh, smooth, and I've noticed my colour is looking bright and sharp still after a month! I have short brown hair with blonde streaks and I pay a lot of money for my colour.... So I want yo protect it.

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.

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 was very fortunate to receive the shampoo the day I had my hair cut and coloured.

The shampoo comes in a attractive red container, very easy to use.

The fragrance of the shampoo is pleasant and lasts most of the day.

I found that I did not need to use much shampoo as it lathers very well.

After washing, conditioning and drying my hair, I found my hair was nice and soft.

My colour has not faded, and still has the same appearance as it was when I left the hairdressers

I received this as part of the trial and So far I am really impressed with this product. I've recently recoloured my hair violetred so was perfect product to trial. 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.definately use again

The first thing I usually do with shampoo and conditioner is have a good sniff. It smells good, I think it has that generic shampoo smell so it's not really anything special. It comes in a 250ml bottle, so it's a decent size. I like the shape of the bottle but there is a lot going on in the packaging though with lots of information but it still looks nice sitting in the corner of the shower!

The shampoo itself has quite a silky feeling to it and lathers up well so you don't need to use much. I wash twice with shampoo and then condition.

At the moment I have a directions colour in my hair, red to be exact and it's still fading very fast. I think it would be better for someone that has a permanent colour in their hair.

There was a day in the last three weeks (bad) that I didn't straighten my hair and left it to dry naturally and it did go very fluffy.

Usually my head is very oily so I have to wash my hair daily otherwise it ends up itchy and has that real 'hair' smell but for the first time ever I have been able to wash it every second day. That is why I will be buying it again!

As far as colour saver I don't think it does this as my darker colour still fades out fast. I do like this product as it keeps my hair clean, soft and feels nourished it definitely breaks less and looks more healthy. I used it in conjunction with my professional blonde shampoo(every third wash) and my hair definitely feels better I would buy this one again.

In late May I had my long hair dyed a beautiful ombre from dark brown into dark caramelly blonde on the ends – the most blonde I have had since I was a goldilocked toddler. I immediately noticed that my hair was drier and harder to brush – so I was so glad to get a place in the Elvive Colour Protect Trial. Details: Cost? supermarkets sell them for $5 a bottle (not on special) Smell? Not too strong on the purfume – quite typical of other shampoos Feel/Consistency? Some shampoos are too watery – this has a thicker consistency, which made me think it had lots of good stuff in it! (or I imagined it did!) Results? Only TWO applications of the combo (shampoo + Conditioner) and I had 3 people in one day say – “hey, did you do something to your hair?” – I was so happy!! The cherry on the top was my boyfriend commenting on how nice my hair looked as well! The shampoo cleaned my hair in a gentle but robust way- in other words my hair felt really clean but not STRIPPED bare of any natural goodness like some shampoos leave you. I wash my hair only 2-3 times a week, and it doesn’t take much shampoo each time so the product will last ages! I would totally recommend this to a friend who has coloured their hair recently – immediate, noticeable results = Yes please!
