L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

I was selected to try this conditioner and matching shampoo, I have thick dry hair and although I wasn't a fan of the shampoo I really liked this conditioner.

The packaging is nice and simple and the smell is awesome, not overly fruity like many other supermarket brands. This conditioner made my hair feel super soft and silky long after washing and also looked shinier as well. I began pairing it with the shampoo but after not finding the shampoo effective I paired it with my regular shampoo and definitely saw results.

The Maroon on White was a nice clean look for the conditioner bottle. I loved the scent that the conditioner left on hair, which was kind of fruity. The conditioner made my hair look and feel softer and also helped fix most of the split ends. Loved using this product.

This conditioner has saved my dull and frizzy dry hair, after using it for a couple of weeks now I have noticed so much difference to the way my hair looks when it dries! I never use hair dryers and let my hair dry naturally which when it use to dry would be knotty and frizzy, now its soft and looks thick and very shiny! I loved the smell, the packaging but I really didn't like the consistency of the product. First time I used it I swear half the bottle came out into my hand... I wasted a lot because it was so terribly runny. I like my conditioners being thick and this was runnier than the shampoo. A lot of the time I was worried it wasn't even in my hair. I would buy this again for myself if I couldn't find a thicker alternative by Elvive first! In the end it worked well and my hair is looking healthier and feels smoother than it has in years!

Similar to the shampoo, I really loved the smell of this conditioner. It smelt salon fresh but I couldn’t quite put my finger on the combination of smells I was getting, but whatever it was smelt good. The packaging was just like the shampoo except the bottle was the other way around. It looked good quality except I didn’t like the colour red just as a personal preference. The standard shape and size of the bottle was nothing new but it worked well and it was easy to pour out the conditioner into the palm of my hand. It felt very silky on my hands and looked similar to the shampoo consistency – white and creamy, except a little silkier. Putting this on after the shampoo (which has stripped my hair and made it feel quite rough) made it nice and smooth and silky and easier to run my fingers through my hair.

My hair is quite damaged with lots of split ends so after using the conditioner (with the shampoo) I noticed results and my hair was looking a lot healthier – especially the ends seemed to be repairing. The conditioner made my hair feel extra silky smooth and shiny with minimal fly aways but it did feel a bit thin rather than make it look fuller which it promised to do.

As with the shampoo I am overall really pleased with the conditioner and the results it has given. I would definitely use it again and recommend to friends if they were seeking advice on what to buy.

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

The conditioner has helped to make my hair look fuller, feels stronger and also healthier and also has helped to make my hair have more shine.

I am a bit picky when it comes to the Shampoos and Conditioners I like therefore I didn't have high hopes for this considering the low price tag. In spite of this I was pleasantly surprised by this conditioner.

First of all I loooove the scent of this range. It smells like a lovely expensive floral perfume and adore the smell it leaves lingering in my hair (the lingering scent doesn't last long, but, is lovely for the time it is there). The packaging is pretty standard but very functional and easy to get the product out of. One problem I have is the similarity of the conditioner and shampoo bottles, if your a ditz like me it can be easy to confuse the too haha.

The conditioner itself is quite a thin runny consistency and I do find I have to use quite a bit of product to coat the entire lengths of my hair and compared to the volume require for the matching shampoo (which is minuscule) I imagine I will go through three conditioners before I finish one of the matching shampoos's. Who else agree's they should make conditioner's twice the size of Shampoo's?! After leaving the product in my hair for a few minutes and rinsing it out my hair is left feeling lovely and smooth, tangle free and nicely hydrated. I find this softness lasts once my hair dries and really does give my hair a nice shine. I had very dry and damaged thick hair and find this conditioner helps make my hair look a lot more healthy.

For the price I think this is a great product and something I will enjoy using.

This is a great salon substitute, fantastic fruity scent and very creamy, wasnt as thick as what I like in a conditioner but still did the job, I left on for 5mins each time and it seemed to make it better, after using my hair felt alot softer and less frizzy,so this product does what it says at a fraction of the price of salon products, highly recommend for a cheaper product

I have been using this with the matching shampoo and I love the shampoo but the conditioner not as much. The conditioner is thin and I prefer it to be thicker so I can feel it coating all my hairs. Since it is so thin I feel like I must use a lot of it to moisturise all my hair and I think it will definitely run out before the shampoo. It is hard to spread it through the hair. The smell is like the shampoo, normal shampoo/conditioner smell, it's nice. After my hair has dried with this conditioner my hair feels very soft but the curls in my hair are not so curly. Since I didn't really like this conditioner too much I tried the shampoo with a different conditioner and got worse results, so I guess even though it is thin it works! The price is reasonable and you get better results than some salon products, so I am happy with it.
