L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

It is nice to have a conditioner that isnt too thick. Smell is lovely, used it with the shampoo and very happy with the result of nice clean, shiny and colourful hair. The packaging makes it look impressive. When I have finished my first bottle I will be considering purchasing again.

I really like this product. It smells nice without smelling all fake flowery and it makes my ends feel less damaged which is a small miracle. It's also not too gloopy which means the coverage is good and doesn't take too much so it lasts pretty well. I'm a fan.

first I should declare I am a bit of a snob and only use high end hairdresser bought shampoo and conditioner.

I used the Total repair 5 conditioner with the Total Repair 5 Shampoo. I did like this product, it smelled nice, wasn't too thick and didn't seem to weigh down my hair.

I didn't notice any change in hair strength but my hair has been shinier after using the 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.

I bought this with the matching shampoo and together they make my hair voluminous, soft and healthy. It doesn't weigh my hair down or make it feel at all greasy.

One thing I don't like about it however is the consistency, it's too thin for my liking and I feel like I have to use way more product than usual. Aside from that I really like it, and the bottle is a good shape to get everything out from the bottom of the bottle and avoid wastage.

I expect a lot from my hair care products as I have damaged, coloured hair that tends to get oily roots and dry lengths, so it needs a bit of help. have used a lot of different shampoos and conditioners over the years but never found a combo that I loved enough to make my staple, however I have been very pleasantly suprised by the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair range.

The scent reminds me a lot of salon hair care products I have used, a pleasant floral fragrance that smells realllllyy nice on your hair the day you've washed it. The packaging is pretty standard, the plastic squeeze bottles allowing you to easily get the right amount out. The conditioner is pretty much an upside-down version of the shampoo though so watch that you don't grab the wrong one like I did (yay reverse conditioning!).

The formula of the conditioner is pretty runny compared to most, so I found I had to use a fair amount of product. What I also didn't like was I found that it didn't really nourish my hair enough alone, my ends still felt pretty dry which I was suprised about for a product aimed at damage hair. For me I needed to follow this up with some kind of treatment or oil to ensure my ends were looked after, although I guess this is where the Total Repair Treatment comes into play.

In terms of the products claims, I do feel like my hair is looking sooo much healthier! It's shiny and silky and super soft. For the price I think this is a great buy and I will continue to use it.

My hair is really thick and prone to frizz. I tend to mix up the products I use, salon and supermarket products, I am always seeking the ultimate hair product. I found this conditioner left my hair nice and soft and not too greasy, perfect for regular use and at the price it sells at it is completely affordable!

Haven't noticed too much of a difference in my hair upon using this as compared to another conditioner but still have liked it! After using it, your hair feels noticeably smoother and silkier! can't stop running my fingers through my hair! This smells so good and the smell stays and my boyfriend comments when we're cuddling!

Ok, so this product took some convincing. I've been using it for 3 weeks now and I'm beginning to believe. Prior to using this product my hair was badly damaged from constantly dying it, using a hair dryer and straightener daily. It was dry, brittle, snapped easily and was FOREVER falling out and covering my bathroom floor!

After the first few uses I have to say I didn't notice a difference and began to think it was a waste of time. But being a mum of 4 and a full-time student I couldn't afford to buy something else so just sucked it up and continued to use it.

In the 2nd week however is where the magic happened! I washed and conditioned my hair using L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Shampoo AND Conditioner, wrapped my hair in a town, got dressed, put my face on and then let my hair out to begin blow drying. Expecting my hair to be frizzy and straw-like I was totally amazed to find it was soft, silky and not the slightest bit frizzy!!!!

AND THEN, after applying some heat treatment to my hair I started my daily blow dry and straighten. I have to say, I was very hesitant to do anything to my hair. I had all my toes crossed in hopes it would just go 'poof' and be a fizz ball again. And it worked! My hair continued to stay soft and silky AND i had no need to straighten it because there was no frizz!!!!!!!

So, into the 3rd week now and I am still getting the same adorable hair results. oh and my hair isn't snapping all the time, its stronger, and even looks healthier. I had lots of comments this past week on the length of my hair also! (I don't think its made it grow) but because it looks healthier I'm assuming people are taking more notice)

I AM IN LOVE!!!

I was selected to trial this product and I am so glad I was!

This conditioner has all the benefits of a salon product without the expensive price tag.

It smells devine - just like one you would find in a salon. It has smoothed my hair, made it shine and it feels so incredibly soft.

It isn't as thick as other conditioners I have tried but you only need the smallest amount to add to your ends.

Would definitely recommend to anyone that has damaged hair that needs some TLC!
