L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

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.

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.

Would not purchase this once the bottle is empty. Makes my hair dry and frizzy and does not do me any good. I was hoping it would work wonders on my coloured hair restore back the moisture lost from dyeing it once a month. Pity though as it is really affordable and smells great.

This product was fine for a supermarket shampoo but I felt it needed pairing with a more "conditioning" conditioner than the corresponding colour protect conditioner which I also trialled (see my comments on that one). I had previously used another shampoo/conditioner by this brand which I felt was a much better product pair than this one. Sorry L'Oreal as I usually love your products! The shampoo itself was ok, and colour did seem to last well but I just felt it a bit drying.

I would have to say that it is like any supermarket color protect shampoo my color is still looking great but i did find that it made my hair quite frizzy after use with the conditioner being used as well. It does have a lovely fragrance that did linger in my hair after use which i do like in a shampoo

Ok, am always skeptical about products that state that they can make some amazing claims. Well, my colour is actually lasting! The purple, blue and greens are still quite strong after 3 weeks, slightly pastelled out but nothing like they normally would be. Instead of washing/conditioning my hair in luke warm water to stop the follicles opening and releasing the colour I decided to wash it in normal shower temperature water...and the colour has actually mostly stayed in! Normally you see a whole heap of colour washing down the drain with the warmer water, but this shampoo and conditioner actually do help retain the colour. Now the sheen that is on my hair is awesome too, no more dryness, even the older community has commented on how nice my hair looks (lol, funny coming from the blue rinse crew). Definately will be using again!

I was lucky enough to get picked to trial the L'Oreal Paris Elvive colour protect Shampoo and conditioner. I was really impressed to get given full size bottles to trial. I have used this shampoo and conditioner for the last two weeks so this is my review on them. Opening up the bottles, the first thing you notice is the scent, it smells soooo amazing! The product says that it will seal in colour, protect hair and prolong radiance. I do feel that it does lock in colour, I have noticed that my hair has not faded since using this product. In saying that, I only coloured my hair a week or so ago, so will have to keep using to really see if the product lives up to what it says. I did notice that my hair got oily pretty quickly though, pretty much the next day, so even though my hair fits with the colour protect this shampoo and conditioner might not be suited for oily hair types. I would use this again if I had run out of my normal shampoo as it is an okay shampoo and conditioner.

As a woman always searching for the perfect hair care product, I was excited to try this shampoo.

First impression, the packaging looked great & the shampoo had a nice consistency. It lathers really well which is a huge help, it means you don't have to use as much which is always a bonus! I think the thing I was slightly disappointed with was the scent. It wasn't overly appealing & I could could be one area to improve on for the brand. It seems like quite a small thing but I find with beauty products, their scent really affects whether I would purchase it again & use regularly. Products that smell delicious I find I'm more excited to use and recommend to others. It has given my hair a lovely shine and from what I can see my blonde tones are remaining how I like them (A creamy ashy blonde, no yellow tones).

I tested the Sensitive one in the range and true to form I've had no skin reactions, itching, dry scalp or any other side affects. This is great news for those of us with fussy skin!

First off I have just gone from platinum blonde to bright pink, so my hair isnt in the best condition to begin with. But Ill go through the pros and cons of this shampoo- Pros: Smells great, a little goes a long way, cleans hair very thoroughly. Cons- My hair colour still washed out ALOT, even after the third wash there was alot of color coming out. Made my hair go very fluffy as well. So all in all its a great regular shampoo but not a great color lengthening one. Tad disappointing as the price is very reasonable.

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!
