L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

The conditioner was of a thicker consistency than I am used to and as a result was easy to apply and soon encompassed my thick hair making it silky smooth. Both the shampoo and conditioner had a pleasant smell. The conditioner also felt slightly thicker than usual and was easy to use leaving my hair sleek and easy to comb afterwards. My hair was shiny and full of body after using this product and it is usually quite limp because it is so thick and heavy so I would certainly recommend this product to others.

The scent is to die for and stays in your hair for a long time.

When it comes to performance this conditioner did not do the best. It did not leave my hair feeling soft if anything it were more dry.

I am still using this product so review may change

I have my hair lightened every 4 to 5 weeks so its always in need of a little tlc. I usually use a salon exclusive brand so was excited to try a mainstream product.

The packaging was appealing, I liked the little gold detail on the label giving it a bit more lux than your average mainstream product. Also the shape of the bottle felt good to hold and was easy to squeeze.

The scent was lovely, not too floral or sweet and not too overpowering. I really liked the way the conditioner had a softer scent than the shampoo.

It felt nice and silky in my hair and left my hair feeling soft. My hair had a nice finish to it once it was dry, even when I blow dried it- it was left nice and shiny.

but to be honest I never noticed any major difference to my hair but maybe that was because I usually use a very good product anyway? In saying that I also never noticed the condition of my hair get any worse so it kept up pretty well.

This product was amazing! It did everything it said it would. What I loved the most was when I blow dry my hair it looks silky smooth and it doesn't look damaged at all. Have already recommended this product to friends, I know if I love it they will too

I have quite long, thick, damaged hair. This conditioner promised to make it feel healthier, softer and silkier, as well as repairing it. To some extent it did, but it didn't work as well as my Redken conditioner. I also didn't notice any difference in the health of my hair after using it for the full trial period.

I had to use massive amounts of this conditioner just to feel any difference in my hair, so I've basically run out of it by the end of the trial period (less than a month). Generally, I would expect conditioner to last a little longer than that. It's probably not worth it for the price.

Like the shampoo, this conditioner has a nice smell and the bottle size is great - it lasted a long time. It definitely made my hair silkier and gave it a nice shine, but I'm not sure it was any stronger. I did however notice that my blonde highlights seemed to retain their brightness for longer using this conditioner as well as the shampoo which was a bonus.

I used it together with the Total Repair 5 Shampoo and I felt they worked well together. My hair feels softer and smoother, however it didn't make it feel fuller. My hair is still quite thin/flat after using these products. The scent is great just like the shampoo and I'll probably use this again as it is not expensive and it's a brand thats easy to find.

It is a big call claiming to "repair" hair. I am always drawn to these claims despite knowing that it is slightly unrealistic. Sadly ELVIVE is another one of these products. While it smells divine and left my hair feeling smooth while wet there ppeared to be little difference once my hair dried. I have to add that I do only wash my hair every 5-6 days so only used this conditioner 4 times. Maybe there will be more change over a longer period of time. I will happily use the remainder of the bottle but with reduced expectations.

I have long wavy hair that is coloured. When I used the repairing conditioner partnered with the shampoo my hair felt great and revitalised. When I used the product frequently - like I do with other products - I started noticing dandruff. So, I decided to use the products once a week, usually on a Sunday and it brought my hair back to life without dandruff. The product has a really nice smell that lasts all day. Sometimes I use the conditioner on its on depending on how my hair is feeling at the time.

My hair is what could be described as straw! I don't know what has happened over the last few years but its terrible!! The top layer is so dry that it gets knotted it all the time, so I was very excited to try this product in the hope of bringing some moisture into my hair. The product is a great price and lovely to apply to my hair. I have been using it for nearly 3 weeks now. it works into my hair nicely and is a pleasant fragrance. I have been using this in conjunction with the shampoo. But after I get out of the shower my hair is still knotty and very dry - unfortunately I was thinking this product might save the day, but Im wondering if there is little hope left for my hair. I'm sure it will be great for people with hair maybe not so damaged as mine.
