L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

This review is much like the review I did for the shampoo. I liked the bottle and the colour of the bottle as I think it looks nice in the bathroom against the other white. It looks stylish! The product itself I thought was average. I found the conditioner to be a little runny as I prefer conditioner that as a much more thicker and creamier consistency. The fragrance was quite nice, but after a while I found it to be quite sickly sweet smelling. My husband steered clear as it was too feminine for him. My hair did feel soft and shiny afterwards, but I'm not convinced it looks 'fuller' or more 'revitalised' after using this. I think it is an average product that I would use again if it was on a good special. Not worth $9 when there are cheaper options that are just as good. I wasn't disappointed, but its not a product that I would get excited about.....just average.

Perfect after using with the matching shampoo. Made my hair feel nourished and smooth. After drying off my hair had nice shine and bounce and was not dry looking

This conditioner did all it said it would. I did find though that if I used a lot of it it would leave my hair feeling greasy. I would definitely recommend it to people with thin damaged 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've picked this up a couple of times from the supermarket now along with the shampoo.

It's a great, convenient purchase, with nice packaging and a reasonable price tag. The conditioner smells lovely, nothing distinctive but strong enough to enhance the showering experience and last through the day.

It's pretty good at delivering it's promises too! I wouldn't say it's a 'total repair' for my coloured hair, but my hair does feel much better after use than before. My hair is much smoother and easy to manage, soft and shiny.

4/5 simply because there are better out there, but for a supermarket brand this is great.

As with the Shampoo I trialed - I have been using a different Elvive Conditioner but would be more than happy to switch to this product. The overall feeling after treating my hair leaves my hair much softer, looking better and easier to manage :) Smells great too !!

The conditioner really does compliment the shampoo here. The Consistency of the conditioner is rich and thick and feels like it has substance. Use sparingly. I applied to mid lengths and ends of my hair as my scalp becomes oily too quickly usually. It went on well and took a good rinse to come off. Hair instantly feels manageable, tangle free, and smells divine. I do believe conditioner is essential when washing hair and in this case this particular one would be great paired with its own conditioner. I love the brand, the product and the price and the fact that it does deliver as it states on the bottle. I would recommend this product to someone who really wants to pamper their tired hair but without the hefty price tag.

When I used this with the matching shampoo, I noticed great changes in my hair. The conditioner really made my hair soft and smooth and detangled my hair. The consistency is a little thinner than most conditioners I usually use but I found it easy to apply through my hair and a little goes a long way. The smell is the same as the shampoo and its a nice scent, not too heavy or overpowering. A great new hair product duo!!

Conditioner is the most important part to my hair washing routine because this is the element that is going to add moisture, help my frizz and give me smooth shiny hair.

My hair is quite curly, dry, frizzy and coarse if just left natural so the only types of conditioners that really work for my hair are those that are thick and creamy.

After shampooing my hair for Total Repair 5 shampoo my hair was left stringy and matted and I really had high hopes for an amazing conditioner that would just melt through the coarseness and give me glossy silky locks.

Sadly this conditioner is almost the consistency of water in my books. I usually just need a palm full to saturate the lower half of my hair and then comb through silky hair. With Total Repair 5 conditioner I needed 2 big handfuls of conditioner and while combing my hair, it just didnt feel soft and glossy and I wasnt pleased.

Blow-drying my hair I didnt see any fantastic results as promised although I must admit my hair does feel alot stronger after 4 weeks of usage. My hair also frizzed up much quite in the mornings after this shampoo/conditioner routine than it would with other brands I've tried.

This conditioner has not made my top favourites list and I dont recommend this to girls whos hair needs extra love when it comes to the conditioning stage and I feel your money would be better spent on other supermarket brands. I'm definitely not ready to give uo my WEN yet :)

I was really excited when I was selected to trial this product. Having colored my hair for many years, used various products and none of it can compare to the results I get from this product. It's done exactly what it says and the feedback I get from my colleagues and friends are fantastic! My hair is shinier and has more body, my colour looks more radiant. I also love the softness of my hair when I use it. As I have curly hair, my hair feels silky when I wash it and is so manageable. I think I found my new life-long friend. Only downer of the shampoo is that it causes my hair to be very static. Not sure if anyone else had this problem. But other than that, great product, highly recommended and well within my budget!
