L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

I bought this with the matching shampoo and together they make my hair voluminous, soft and healthy. It doesn't weigh my hair down or make it feel at all greasy.

One thing I don't like about it however is the consistency, it's too thin for my liking and I feel like I have to use way more product than usual. Aside from that I really like it, and the bottle is a good shape to get everything out from the bottom of the bottle and avoid wastage.

I expect a lot from my hair care products as I have damaged, coloured hair that tends to get oily roots and dry lengths, so it needs a bit of help. have used a lot of different shampoos and conditioners over the years but never found a combo that I loved enough to make my staple, however I have been very pleasantly suprised by the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair range.

The scent reminds me a lot of salon hair care products I have used, a pleasant floral fragrance that smells realllllyy nice on your hair the day you've washed it. The packaging is pretty standard, the plastic squeeze bottles allowing you to easily get the right amount out. The conditioner is pretty much an upside-down version of the shampoo though so watch that you don't grab the wrong one like I did (yay reverse conditioning!).

The formula of the conditioner is pretty runny compared to most, so I found I had to use a fair amount of product. What I also didn't like was I found that it didn't really nourish my hair enough alone, my ends still felt pretty dry which I was suprised about for a product aimed at damage hair. For me I needed to follow this up with some kind of treatment or oil to ensure my ends were looked after, although I guess this is where the Total Repair Treatment comes into play.

In terms of the products claims, I do feel like my hair is looking sooo much healthier! It's shiny and silky and super soft. For the price I think this is a great buy and I will continue to use it.

My hair is really thick and prone to frizz. I tend to mix up the products I use, salon and supermarket products, I am always seeking the ultimate hair product. I found this conditioner left my hair nice and soft and not too greasy, perfect for regular use and at the price it sells at it is completely affordable!

Haven't noticed too much of a difference in my hair upon using this as compared to another conditioner but still have liked it! After using it, your hair feels noticeably smoother and silkier! can't stop running my fingers through my hair! This smells so good and the smell stays and my boyfriend comments when we're cuddling!

Ok, so this product took some convincing. I've been using it for 3 weeks now and I'm beginning to believe. Prior to using this product my hair was badly damaged from constantly dying it, using a hair dryer and straightener daily. It was dry, brittle, snapped easily and was FOREVER falling out and covering my bathroom floor!

After the first few uses I have to say I didn't notice a difference and began to think it was a waste of time. But being a mum of 4 and a full-time student I couldn't afford to buy something else so just sucked it up and continued to use it.

In the 2nd week however is where the magic happened! I washed and conditioned my hair using L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Shampoo AND Conditioner, wrapped my hair in a town, got dressed, put my face on and then let my hair out to begin blow drying. Expecting my hair to be frizzy and straw-like I was totally amazed to find it was soft, silky and not the slightest bit frizzy!!!!

AND THEN, after applying some heat treatment to my hair I started my daily blow dry and straighten. I have to say, I was very hesitant to do anything to my hair. I had all my toes crossed in hopes it would just go 'poof' and be a fizz ball again. And it worked! My hair continued to stay soft and silky AND i had no need to straighten it because there was no frizz!!!!!!!

So, into the 3rd week now and I am still getting the same adorable hair results. oh and my hair isn't snapping all the time, its stronger, and even looks healthier. I had lots of comments this past week on the length of my hair also! (I don't think its made it grow) but because it looks healthier I'm assuming people are taking more notice)

I AM IN LOVE!!!

I was selected to trial this product and I am so glad I was!

This conditioner has all the benefits of a salon product without the expensive price tag.

It smells devine - just like one you would find in a salon. It has smoothed my hair, made it shine and it feels so incredibly soft.

It isn't as thick as other conditioners I have tried but you only need the smallest amount to add to your ends.

Would definitely recommend to anyone that has damaged hair that needs some TLC!

Amazing amazing had to give my trial at least a few weeks to see if it's done its job and it really has .great size bottle .After using the total repair shampoo id advise you to use the conditioner as in my blonde way hair it did get a bit knotty and this detangled it .great smell. Like I said with the price of the shampoo ive always be hesitant with shampoo or conditioner been that price .but now that I tried it its worth purchasing..its help repair my hair left it less fluffy after washing. I think the fluffy bits may have been breakage due to dying it blonde and there seems to be less so i think it's help repaired my hair .it feels soft to touch which makes me feel alot better bout my hair and not that straw feeling.sometimes I left the conditioner in over night which was me doing my own conditioning treatment and just left it in till next wash .im felt it helped alot.you don't need a heck a lot of conditioner as it says to focus on length and ends ,which is all you really do need to do.this product I know ill buy again once its run out !

I was pretty excited to try this conditioner to compliment the shampoo I was trying as well. My hair was a bit damaged due to always colouring it and using a shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair was just keeping the colour a bit longer and shinier not really looking after the health of the hair. THIS conditioner though after a few weeks has been great! my hair feels stronger, shinier, healthier even! I have noticed that when brushing not as many hairs are coming out or breaking which is awesome. The smell is great, not overpowering and feels really soft. And its not 'heavy' so my hair was still light and bouncy. All in all a great conditioner I would use again and recommend to friends as well!

I usually use salon products which last for a long time as you dont have to use much product. I liked the smell however needed to use so much product to go through my hair after using the shampoo. I ended up using my normal conditioner as my hair didnt feel very nice. I think it works out cheapier to use the salon products as you don't have to use so much product.

I was selected to try this conditioner and matching shampoo, I have thick dry hair and although I wasn't a fan of the shampoo I really liked this conditioner.

The packaging is nice and simple and the smell is awesome, not overly fruity like many other supermarket brands. This conditioner made my hair feel super soft and silky long after washing and also looked shinier as well. I began pairing it with the shampoo but after not finding the shampoo effective I paired it with my regular shampoo and definitely saw results.
