Seriously soft and silky

I use this in conjunction with the matching shampoo and I enjoy the results it gives. It has a lovely creamy texture, has a pleasant scent and made my hair so soft. Usually I use a leave in conditioner or oil after I wash my hair, but to put this to the test I didn't and I was pleasantly surprised. My hair was soft, manageable and dare I say it it did feel stronger and nicer at the ends. This product does contain palm oil which I disagree with ethically, but if it didn't contain this I would definitely repurchase as I do like the results this gave me.

Tips: Leave the conditioner in for a few minutes (even thought it doesn't say you need to) as it gives the product more time to penetrate your hair and get to work on your damage!

Good but not Great....

It definitely left my hair feeling stronger and looking shiny and healthy, but the same time it was oily after a couple of days where as I usually go a lot longer between washing my hair. It smells great and I would use it again if I needed to.

Tips: Only condition the ends of your hair for best results and to try and keep it oil free for longer.

Good supermarket option

Does what it's supposed. Good cheap option from the supermarket, and makes your hair feel a bit stronger and moisturised if you don't use it too often.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner

I found this conditioner pretty average. It has a really nice smell to it and nice packaging, it is also really affordable. I don't feel like it has done anything for my hair except make it greasy and also seems to have made my scalp a bit flaky. I will not be repurchasing it.

Just an Ordinary Shampoo

Honestly I didnt see any difference between this shampoo and any other I have tried over the years. It smelled pretty much the same, it felt the same and it worked the same. It was the same generic price and Offered the same generic promises. "no breakages ...split ends..." Yes my hair felt ok... But It does after it has been washed and conditioned with any shampoo or conditioner so Unless I felt like straw or magical silk pouring down my back I didnt see any major difference from any other shampoo on the market.

Tips: Grab it on special if you can. Cause it does an ok job, but I wouldnt pay loads for it

loved the smell....product just not for me :(

I have long thick hair and I usually buy salon Conditioner so both myself ( and my wallet) were very excited to try the conditioner in hope of a "drug store miracle" but unfortunately that was not the case, I LOVED the smell and how clean and nice my hair looked after using this product however it made my hair too fluffy and soft to deal with, I like to mix my hair style during the week for work, either by leaving out straightened or up in a bun and I tried both styles after using the product and my hair was just too fluffy and static with god and my hair bun would not hold :( I was quite disappointed as the product smelt amazing!!

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner

I'm usually a big fan of L'Oréal as a company, most of their cosmetics and products I totally fawn over. Sadly, though, this conditioner totally fell short of my expectations!

My hair is naturally curly, long, and has been quite damaged recently due to colour treatments and straightening. So I was super excited to test out this conditioner that claimed to be able to totally solve my problems! I use conditioner daily as part of my hair care routine, and after using up the entire bottle of this product, the results were...meh.

I noticed no real change in my hair, in terms of strength, fullness, being revitalised, silky, or shiny. It pretty much stayed exactly the same! I also found that this conditioner did very little to help detangle my curls in the shower each morning - I had to use double the amount of product that I usually use just to comb through the knots. Unimpressed.

The product did smell really nice, and the packaging was eye-catching. But unfortunately that's all I can really say that I liked about this product. Bummer!

An okay product.

I'm pretty neutral on this conditioner (and the shampoo too). The texture is quite runny and the scent is quite light. My hair feels silky and manageable, but not as vibrant as usual.

It's a fine shampoo, but not the best ever.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner

Well like my review for the shampoo I wasn't overly impressed with this conditioner. Again it left me with the feeling like my hair had been coated with something chemically that leaves the feel of softness and repair, but I don't think it actually repaired my hair at all. It made my hair really soft, which is ok, but my hair is thin and so this softness made it incredibly fly-away in the lengths, quite static-like which is just a pain to control without putting product in my hair. I do like that it has a nice smell, and that you don't need much of it but I think I'll be sticking with my salon shampoo and conditioner.

Tips: Leave the conditioner in for a little while, I found when I didn't my hair didn't feel like I had conditioned it.

Total Repair 5 Conditioner

Firstly this product smells amazing, almost like freesias or a floral perfume. It has simple but classy packaging in the standard upside down, flip top style bottle. I am used to having a pump in the shower for my regular conditioner so it was a little bit more fiddly than usual. It would be good to see this product in a pump style bottle too. I found the consistency of the product quite runny so I tried to squeeze as much water out of my hair as I could before I applied it. I have to mention the scent again, because it is really lovely and does make your hair smell divine! I would agree with number 1, 2 and 4 (of the Total Repair 5). I do think it made my hair stronger and fuller (and as a extra bonus it did help to define my natural curls a little more). I can't really say that it did number 3 or 5 for me (it didn't make my hair shiner or more feel more revitalised). Overall, I think the scent was the best thing about this product for me.

Tips: I used the 60 Second Miracle Treatment weekly, in addition to this conditioner for an extra pampering for my hair! I have an oily scalp so only used it on my roots.
