L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

Unfortunately this conditioner didn't do a great job in my hair. It didn't achieve the 5 things it says it would in the description. Something I noticed was I had to use a lot more of this product than usual to detangle my wavy/curly hair and this still didn't do a great job compared to other conditioners. The conditioner was a nice consistency - nice and thick. The smell was neutral, I probably prefer more of a fruity smell to be refreshed after conditioning my hair.

So I've just finished my review on the first half of this trial which was the shampoo and now I'll be doing the conditioner. Like I said in my review for the shampoo I was very disappointed with the results I got while using this combo except for how smooth and silky it left my hair. I loved the smell and the way it feels so I guess the conditioner part did its job. I wouldnt use one without the other so this shampoo and conditioner is not for me. Out of the 5 things this shampoo and conditioner said it was going to do I only noticed the one. I was hoping that this was the product I was looking for to help revive my lifeless and dry hair but no such luck. Thank you though to the team at BR for picking me to do this trial, now I know which product doesnt work and to keep looking for a shampoo and conditioner.

I bleach my hair so I'm always in need of a good conditioner that will help to repair my hair. I tried the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner after using the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Shampoo oping that they would wok well in conjunction with each other. The conditioner was a nice creamy texture and I had to use quite a bit to coat my long hair. It has a nice scent but nothing special. When I condition my hair, I run my fingers through my hair to comb out any knots. With this conditioner in my hair it was a nightmare to run my fingers through and I ended up with more knots than I started with. It took my a while to work them out. I did find that my hair felt really soft after using the product however it dried quite frizzy. I got my hair coloured later in the day and my hairdresser commented on how soft and clean my hair was (which is great) but she mentioned that it was frizzy because all the natural oils had been removed from my hair. I wouldn't purchase this again due to the fact that it made my hair so knotty when I was conditioning it.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 conditioner has a pleasant fragrance, even though it is quite strong it was nice to use. The bottle was better designed than the shampoo as it sat on the widest end of the bottle and the writing was the right way up. I had trouble dispensing the correct amount each time and wasted a lot of conditioner in the first week because too much came out at once. This was not as noticeable with the conditioner as it was with the shampoo, as it did not lather, but it still took more rinsing to get the conditioner out. My hair gets very dry and brittle through bleaching so it is important for me to use a product that is able to repair and rejuvenate to reduce the effect from harsh chemicals. I found that the conditioner made a difference to my hair after shampooing and made it feel silky and soft but only when I ran my hands through it. Overall, for the price and feel of my hair I would recommend it to others, and the fragrance is really nice.

Well I like the conditioner better then the shampoo. The smell isn't as strong as the shampoo and I had to use a lot more conditioner for a good coverage. I definitely felt an instant smoothness to my hair and it felt really nice whilst washing out the conditioner. But unfortunately that feeling didn't last long. As soon as my hair dried it went back to feeling dry and coarse :(. A couple of times I left in the conditioner for 3 minutes or so to see if that made a difference and no it didn't. Again I was disappointed in this product I had high expectations for this to work on my hair. I'm in the process of going from dark to blonde (my natural hair colour)and need a really good conditioner to restore my damaged dry hair. This conditioner is not it and I probably won't be using this product again.

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.

I wanted to like this but did nothing to help my frizzy hair hair. Smell was pretty nice but not as good as version with royal jelly.

I am very very fussy with shampoo however

The conditioner is better than the shampoo, but not by much.

The amount of conditioner I need after using the shampoo is ridiculous, the shampoo makes my hair so matted that I need so much conditioner just to have manageable hair.

My hair does have a nice shine to it afterwards and it seems to last longer before it gets greasy but this really isn't worth the hassle that the shampoo brings.

I had never tried a L'oreal Paris Conditioner before, so i was pretty interested in finding out how it would stand up to other conditioners i have used. I didn't really like the consistency of this conditioner as it was thick but quite runny. The minute i opened the lid, it all started spurting out. The runny consistency also made it quite hard to apply as i felt like i needed to use more of it in order for it to actually condition my hair. This conditioner is very masculine smelling; it honestly smells like a mens conditioner. Its certainly not a bad smell, its just not very feminine. I was able to go 3 days without washing my hair again after first using this conditioner. I normally have quite oily hair, so this was quite an achievement. This is 1 day longer than my usual conditioner. I found this helpful because it meant i wasnt washing my hair as often so i was saving a lot of time and also wasn't using the product as much. This means that it lasts longer. The packaging isn't very aesthetically pleasing. Its very simple, and its not something that would catch my eye in the supermarket. My hair went very frizzy the next day after using this conditioner. I also didn't feel like the conditioner did what it promised to do and that was repair my hair. I still had my split ends and my hair felt no stronger or better than it usually does. However, it did make my hair very silky and soft to the touch. Overall, i don't think that i would buy this product myself and its not something i would entirely recommend to people i know.

This conditioner is thick and easy to distribute throughout the ends of my hair, but I feel I need to use more than other brands. It doesn’t have a potent or overpowering smell, but it doesn’t have a nice smell either. My hair does look shinier than previously, but it doesn’t feel stronger or fuller in any way. As with the shampoo, the price is reasonable, but just a bit too much for my liking. I am happy enough with the product to continue the bottle until it is finished, but I probably wouldn’t run out and buy it.
