L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

I wanted so bad for this product to do everything it says it's going to do for your hair. I have really long thick wavy hair and it's really dry and brittle from previous bleaching. I've been shopping in the market for something that will help me with my hair. I have real bad flyaways and ultra dry hair. Using the conditioner after the shampoo made my hair feel no better. I felt like I had to use a lot of conditioner just to get it soft. Maybe it's just my hair?? But I felt that this product was no good for my hair

I purchased this in my grocery shopping when I ran out of hair product. At the time they had a half price sale on these and I was lured in by the bargain. My hair type is dry at the ends and I colour my hair a lot.

This conditioner comes in a small sized bottle. easy to get product out of it. Easy to read labelling. The consistency of this is thin white and creamy with a mild floral scent.

I applied this to my hair after I had shampooed it. During wash time my hair felt soft and smooth. My hair is thick and this product is thin I needed to use a lot. After drying my hair I never noticed any changes. My hair was still dry at the ends .

I'm glad I got this on special because it is pricy. Over a few weeks I never noticed any significant changes in my hair. This sized bottle would not last me a month. I wouldn't repurchase this because it didn't work on my hair.

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.

I have used the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner for 3 weeks along with the shampoo & can't say i'm convinced that this product does what it says it will. I didn't notice my dry hair became any softer, shinier or generally healthier. If anything i found i needed to use more styling products to keep my hair looking smooth & shiny. I loved the smell & the consistency of the conditioner & found that i didn't need too much to coat my shoulder length hair. Overall it was a good conditioner but if i wanted to improve the condition of my dry hair it wouldn't be the one i would reach for on the shelf.

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

I found the conditioner quite thin compared with other brands. On first application I found a small improvement. My next shower I decided to rinse it through twice and it made a lot more of a difference although did not do what it completely said. My hair still felt fragile after a few uses. It's not something I would purchase.
