L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

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.

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!!!""

Great shampoo, you only need a small amount and it lathers up realllyyy thick and nice! Has a nice light scent and leaves you feeling super clean. I have dark brown hair with toned highlights and my hair still looks as good as the day it was done. The bottle itself is nice and easy to use, I find some quite awkward to squeeze or difficult to get the product out, I had no issues with this one. I would definitely buy this product again.

The first thing I noticed about this was the smell - a really nice (in my opinion) sweet vaguely fruity/berry smell. This was a change from the usual chemical-tinged smell most salon bought colour protect shampoos seem to have. It lathers nicely and rinses out easily, and it didn't leave my hair with the slimy feeling that some shampoos do after I've had it bleached. I've not noticed my hair colour fading/yellowing so it seems to be doing what it promises - I was using salon bought shampoo before this so at less than half the price, this one will definitely be on my list of products to use again.

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!
