L'oreal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Mask Review

Yes my fair feel better after using this but I've tried many better and would rather a masque in bottle or pump for ease of application. A bit nicer smell be great too. Boring and nothing to brag about

I made the big mistake of colour damaging my hair recently which left my hair burned, frizzy and breaking at the drop of a hat. This is when I decided drastic measurements needed to be taken so I purchased a semi-fancy brand hair mask. Enter L'oreal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Mask. I have used other products in this range before so was expecting some sort of good result.

The tub is quite a substantial amount which is good value for the price I paid. I paid $9.99 for this tub and I was quite surprised by how cheap it was considering it's a hair mask and a well known brand.

The formula is quite thick in consistency which made my heart happy. If it's thick it means to me that it has moisture galore and will penetrate my hair to lock in moisture. I wash my hair as usual and put this in my hair concentrating on the most damaged areas of my hair which is the tips.

I leave it in for a good ten minutes to let it really soak in to my hair. After I rinse it out I didn't really find it to be any different to what it was when I started. After four uses it feels slightly less rope like but not significantly better which I thought it would be.

I would expect for a well known well respected brand that it would give better results, Even after using it with their shampoo and conditioner it doesn't work that well. I am highly disappointed to be honest.

I love this product! After every use my hair is even more soft and free from damage. I struggle with split ends and this mask does wonders for my hair.

This product is one of my favourites in the loreal elvive series although I have not tried them all I really took to the smell of this product. The texture is creamy and thick enough and it does seem to help make the hair feel soft and silky I am not really sure it can repair the hair but in terms of smoothing it out yes it can and restore hydration to the hair but if you use too much it can feel like you want to re wash pretty soon as the product residue may stay in if you do not rinse much. I do not like that this company tests on animals though its really cruel. the smell of this product can stay in your hair and make you want to smell it. I like the conditioner to this product too and a little goes a fair way it is an ok price I guess for a 300ml

I have used the L'oreal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Mask several times in the past, when my long hair has started feeling a bit too dry or frizzy at the ends. Each time I have found that this mask does a great job at restoring moisture and shine to my hair.

This product comes in a fantastic screw-top tub containing a generous amount of product - probably 3-5 masks' worth for long-haired gals like me. It smells really nice - just your typical salon-product scent - and the scent lingers in your hair throughout the day. I have received several compliments about the fragrance of my hair after using this mask! After use my hair is definitely more smooth, shiny, and nourished.

The only reason why I have stopped purchasing this product is because the company tests on animals, and I am generally moving into cruelty-free alternatives instead.
