L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I was really excited that I got on the trail for the L'Oréal Colour Protect Shampoo & Conditioner as I get blonde highlights in my hair every 8 weeks or so.

I can't really tell if either product made a difference with protecting my colour, the product may have even slightly darkened the blonde. I’m one of those ladies that washes my hair every day (don’t judge me) so this could have been due to the product building up or overuse?????

The smell is pleasant and my hair was left feeling fresh and clean. You can’t miss the eye catching bright red bottles either.

Chances are I won’t be buying the shampoo again but will continue on with the conditioner as I usually have a tough time with tangles however after using the conditioner my hair was way easier to manage, soft and smooth.

I liked this shampoo, it has a great fragrance and hair definitely feels softer after use. I'm a bit dubious around how much help it can really do to coloured hair, or blonde coloured hair in parrticular.But as a shampoo it does it a great job, hair feels and smells nice and clean after use.

I use this set and love it my hair feels a lot softer and easier to control which is very hard as im a blonde . I havent used it seperately only as a complete set and thats how i like it .

Maybe this is the kind of product that you need to be using very long term to receive all of that 'protection' bonus! Or maybe it is just another product that doesn't deliver on what it said it would do - either way I am not 100% sold. I can't technically fault it, the liquid is a nice smooth texture, I felt like I was using something akin to a $50 price tag in a salon. But it is that age old myth that buying products that promise huge results on a lower level budget. You're probably not going to be too thrilled if you're relying on this product for the protection side of things. In other news it does smell alright, and it does make my hair feel silky smooth after a wash!

I've been using the Elvive Colour Protect shampoo and conditioner for about 3 months now and I'm really happy with the colour protection of this cheap supermarket range. After my lilac semi-permanent colour washed out really quickly, I switched to this brand of shampoo and I've found it's maintaining my hair in a pretty pastel blue-green colour, which is great as I don't have to re-do the colour all the time! My favourite thing about this shampoo is the smell, which makes it seem a lot more expensive and luxurious than it is! I also like how I don't need to use as much as I usually do to make my long hair feel clean, so it lasts me longer than other supermarket shampoos.

I had recently got my hair coloured before receiving my elvive shampoo. It was the perfect timing to give this a go. This product out of my experience does what it says. My colour has been looking the same since day one. The smell of the shampoo is so refreshing and the texture is so smooth when washing your hair. It glides through your hair and you dont have to use too much shampoo at a time compared to some other colour shampoo brands i have used and you have to use quite a bit of shampoo so that it gets through all your scalp. Once my hair has been washed and dried my hair looks absolutely amazing, leaving my hair feeling like ive just come out of the salon. it feels like my hair is glowing and feels like the shampoo has done its work to protect my hair.

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.

OMG!!! I totally had a mega blonde moment and thought my first review was about both!! Hahha the shampoo well where do i begin?!? It is actually amazing the smell and texture is great!!!! It doesnt feel like you actually have anything in your hair!! Amazing!!!""

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.

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.
