L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

I have used this conditioner many times due to it being one of my all time favorites. When this first came out I didn't find the packaging all that appealing as I thought it was cheap looking but since they have redesigned it I really love it. I started using this conditioner due to my father purchasing it for me and have never gone back to using a different supermarket brand of conditioner that is marketed to restore your hair. I had very dry/damaged hair when I was using this conditoner and found that this actually did help to repair it and made it look healthy. I love the smell of this conditioner even though it has been so long since I have used it. My hair feels so silky and shiny after using this conditioner. I will definitely repurchase this product again as I love it.

Like the shampoo this conditioner didn't really reap good results.

I needed Loads of conditioner so my hair didn't feel like straw after using with the shampoo and after I washed it out my hair was dry, stringy, and fluffy.

My mother even commented on how dry my hair was and what did I do to it.

Like the shampoo though this conditioner smelled wonderful and was presented in a gorgeous easy to dispense bottle..

Unfortunately just not for my hair type I don't think..

I am a bit picky when it comes to the Shampoos and Conditioners I like therefore I didn't have high hopes for this considering the low price tag. In spite of this I was pleasantly surprised by this conditioner.

First of all I loooove the scent of this range. It smells like a lovely expensive floral perfume and adore the smell it leaves lingering in my hair (the lingering scent doesn't last long, but, is lovely for the time it is there). The packaging is pretty standard but very functional and easy to get the product out of. One problem I have is the similarity of the conditioner and shampoo bottles, if your a ditz like me it can be easy to confuse the too haha.

The conditioner itself is quite a thin runny consistency and I do find I have to use quite a bit of product to coat the entire lengths of my hair and compared to the volume require for the matching shampoo (which is minuscule) I imagine I will go through three conditioners before I finish one of the matching shampoos's. Who else agree's they should make conditioner's twice the size of Shampoo's?! After leaving the product in my hair for a few minutes and rinsing it out my hair is left feeling lovely and smooth, tangle free and nicely hydrated. I find this softness lasts once my hair dries and really does give my hair a nice shine. I had very dry and damaged thick hair and find this conditioner helps make my hair look a lot more healthy.

For the price I think this is a great product and something I will enjoy using.

This is a great salon substitute, fantastic fruity scent and very creamy, wasnt as thick as what I like in a conditioner but still did the job, I left on for 5mins each time and it seemed to make it better, after using my hair felt alot softer and less frizzy,so this product does what it says at a fraction of the price of salon products, highly recommend for a cheaper product

This is a fantastic resorative shampoo, which leaves hair light and silky. It is a very light and quite thin consistency compared with other shampoos, but I think this helps with leaving hair fresh, light and silky feeling, as it is not weighted down by excessive product. It has an amazing ability to be a relatively light product, but still gives hair an incredibly nourished and silky look and feel. Only a small amount is needed (10 cent coin size) which should be distributed throughout the hair with a focus on problem knotty areas. My only complaint is that my hair does still have some knots remaining afterwards, but this is a vast improvement on all other products since I have blonde highlights with a tendency for dryness and tangling. Other than that, this conditioner is perfect for problem hair!

I waited a while to review this after using it as sometimes it takes a few washes to see what's really happening with a conditioner.

I really love this one though, it hasn't left my hair feeling weighed down at all, or oily, and no sign of dandruff!

I find it particularly difficult to find a good shampoo & conditioner combo as my hair is extremely thick, coloured & curly. A tough combo for any product, but this brand manages it nicely.

I would highly recommend to all.

I loved the smell but found the conditioner way too greasy for my hair. I found my hair hard to brush and didn't have a nice after feel once hair was dry.

After trialling they new L'Oreal Pairs Total Repair Conditioner for the last few weeks I have decided it is not for me. The conditioner smelt great and did leave my hair feeling silkier to touch but caused an extreme amount of fluffiness to occur. The product didn't leave my hair looking fuller and I didn't notice an improvement in strength like the product stated. Overall if it wasn't for the extreme fluffiness I would maybe consider using the product again but I didn't enjoy having to tame the excess baby hairs that appeared every time I used the product.

Firstly my hair is very long, straight with a slight kink in it and is very very damaged. I've recently bleached my ends for the ombre effect so the ends are very dry and brittle. I usually wash my hair once or twice a week only for the fact that I dread combing my wet hair and seeing all the breakage, but for this trial I washed my hair every second day for 2 and a half weeks.

First impressions when I received my package was that the bottles were quite small. The bottles are thin and just a simple white and red label. It has a nice pleasant smell the exact same as the shampoo smell more of a clean refreshing smell.

After shampooing my hair I would quickly towel dry my hair then massage the conditioner through my ends and mid length, I would massage my hair and make sure it was saturated with the conditioner and really work it in to make sure it was all covered, I would then leave it for the remainder of my shower and before rinsing it out would massage it into my roots and scalp. After washing my hair I would comb it with a wide tooth comb and just leave it to dry naturally. I always noticed that when my hair would dry the ends would dry before the rest of my hair I'm guessing it's from the damaged.

After the end of my trial my ends are still very dry and damaged, not much has changed although there is a lot less breakage which I'm so happy about and it has made my hair more shiny. Overall I was a bit disappointed and did have high expectations from this product it didn't really do what it said it would apart from the less breakage factor.

Coming from someone who usually only uses salon products I found this to be quite good. The smell is AMAZING and lasts throughout the day. It's the type of conditioner where a little goes a long way so I didn't need to use a huge amount each time I washed my hair. I didn't notice my hair to be in any better condition after using it though. Just a small negative I noticed was that the consistency seemed a bit runny for a conditioner. Packaging is bright and bold, looks good.
