L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Conditioner is a decent supermarket branded hair product. I love the smell of it, it's typical of most of the L'Oréal hair care range. I can't quite decipher the smell but it is pleasant with a mixture of floral and fruity scents.
The consistency of the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner is creamy and lathers on easily. I used L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner every 2-3 days for about a week and a half and I found that it left my hair feeling silky with more bounce.
I also have the L'Oréal treatment mask and I tried using this after using the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner once to compare the results and it worked wonders! My hair was left feeling fuller. So this is one of those times where you really need to use the full product range to fully benefit from this product.
The only thing that I was not happy about was that I started to get flyaways since using L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Conditioner but I have found that by putting a little hair creme in towel dried hair solves this issue. KMS Freeshape Hot Flex Creme is perfect.
Overall, I would continue to use this product but would not go out of my way to buy this product, especially if it was full priced (RRP$8.99). I have seen it on special at the Pak N Save supermarket for $4.00 each and I think this is a more realistic price tag. but if you want to see the full results of this product it has to be used in conjunction with the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Shampoo and leave in conditioner.
So in turn with using the shampoo, and doing my "hair washing" backwards, I would first condition, then shampoo, then condition again. I found this made my hair feel AMAZING before it was even dry!
Packaging: Looks appealing to me and simple to read
Did it: 1. Feeling stronger. - I think mixed with the shampoo plus my additional hair care I need to use - My hair does feel way better!
2. Looking fuller. - Can't say I have noticed this to much....
3. Looking revitalised. & 5. With a healthier shine. -Yes looks healthier, and has a bit more bounce with it and the shine lasts!
4. Silkier to touch. umm is it bad that I can't stop playing with my hair?
Tips: Because I wash backwards, I can only recommend a light condition on the necessary parts and then full condition after shampoo :)
