Conditioning goodness

I was lucky enough to grab the Loreal Elvive anti-frizz conditioner in the last vault along with the Shampoo.

What I like about this product is that, along with the shampoo the conditioner is enriched with Argan oil and has Thermo protection. Both have done wonders for my hair.

Like the shampoo I needed a conditioner that was going to help maintain my frizz to smoother locks and work with my sensitive skull without giving me dandruff. This product worked for both of my trouble areas.

The bottle is an orange, bronze colour, not see through like the shampoo bottle. I love how easy the conditioner comes out of the bottle! You also get every last drop out of it because of the way it is designed.

I wash my and condition my hair every second day. Like the shampoo I only use a small amount of conditioner (size of an old 50 cent coin). Squeezing some into the palm of my hand I was pleasantly surprised. The smell is a lot like the shampoo, for me it reminds me of apples (I don't know why lol). The conditioner itself is quite a thick cream and orange in colour.

My hair was feeling super light after washing and rinsing the shampoo out so was looking forward to see how the conditioner left my hair feeling. I left the conditioner in my hair while for 2-4 minutes before rinsing out. Even though my hair was still wet I could feel the difference. Silky and smooth the real test would be to see what it was like once dried. I didn't expect to see 'results' on the first day of washing but after a week of using this product combined with the shampoo my hair was a lot less frizzy, it was soft and smooth. My hair didn't go frizzy half way through the day like it usually did and what's better is I never ended up with dandruff from using this conditioner. It kept my skull quite hydrated as well and didn't dry it out.

I ran out recently of both the shampoo and conditioner and purchased them both from the supermarket on special for $3.99 a bottle. I'm unsure of the price when not on special but I'm sure it's a small price to pay for perfection :)

My hair and head love this product! An absolute win for me :)

No big difference

I liked this set of Shampoo and Conditioner. They did make my hair feel nice and clean and soft, but I didn't notice any great improvement in smoothness myself. Perhaps it wasn't the best type-fit for me.

Tips: If you want to, try it, but I wouldn't buy again.

Favourite product!

I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for a few days and already I can see a huge difference! Firstly it makes my hair so amazingly smooth that i got so many comments on the look and feel of it! It didn't completely calm my frizz but it definitley did a good job! It stays smooth and soft for days! Weirdly, using this shampoo and conditioner my hair doesn't become as oily quickly as it usually does. I've been looking around for so long for good shampoo and conditioners and I think I've found it! My hair is shiny, smooth and soft, which I find hard for hair products to do for me. Amazing :)

I love it

this stuff smells great, and its so nice to use. The best part is when your hair is dry and you feel how smooth it is. my hair is still a little bit frizzy but only the bits that are impossible to tame. my hair also has a really nice shine to it. I really love this product and will definately use it again.

Tips: use with the shampoo

Great but not for me

I'm a big Elvive fan but don't usually use this particular range. My local pak n save has an abysmal selection though and didn't have my usual Elvive so I thought I'd branch out and try this one.

Like the whole range of Elvive it smells amazing. This one is slightly nutty and evokes luxury when you smell it.

The conditioner formula is thick and luxurious and I didn't find I needed to use an excessive amount like I often do with supermarket conditioners. It also is slightly marbled, presumably with some sort of oil or concentrated smoothing formula which makes it feel fancy.

I found it okay-good with my frizz. To be honest I was expecting more. It was great on the ends but my flyaways were a bit beyond it which is a bit weird as other Elvives not targeting frizz seem to work better.

All in all I think this is a great supermarket conditioner and at the price it's at you can easily play around with other varieties until you find v one that's right for you.

L'Oreal Elvive Smooth Conditioner

Used this for the first time this morning since its a rainy day. I naturally have wavey hair and like it smooth and straight for work. Found the conditioner great, I have thick hair and don't need to use a lot. When it came to straightening it was easier to manage and didn't need a lot of other product to tame the frizz. The true test will be when i will be taking them to Rarotonga with me in 3 weeks! Sun, sand, water and humidity I hope it works just as well as it has today.

Fighting the Frizz

This product smelt and felt great. However, I was disappointed with the end results, frizz wise. I naturally have big loopy curls and after I had used this I let my hair dry naturally but there was still quite a lot of frizz. I love the feel of this product though so I'm going to give it another go when there is less humidity in the air. I'd definitely recommend for girlies with straighter hair. But, it smells wonderful so I'll definitely still use it and try and make it work for me

elvive smooth intense conditioner

This conditioner review is the same as the shampoo one I just completed. Its great and I will use it again most probably change to it.the only thing I didn,t like was the conditioner was a bit runny apart from that I love it.

Tips: Because the conditioner is a bit runny you tender to use more so I will just buy two conditioners to the one shampoo.all good.

LOREAL, BECAUSE YOUR WORTH IT......

Okay dollz, this is my first review on a actual product that I have received, i waited for 2 days to try it out as I just ran out of my previous shampoo ( brand remains anonymous ). So, i got so my hair ( asian hair ) its quiet rough and frizzy and sometimes out of control like a lion king...hmm, so anyways. i jumped into the shower and i wet my hair as per normal then i try the products on. the texture is really thick and smells really good ( to me ) i dont like it too scented hmmm, so i lather my shampoo up and massage my hair and left it for about 1 to 2 mins then i rinse it off, honestly, i could literally run my fingers through my hair already, i then used my conditioner and i use generous amount of conditioner and i left that on for about 5 mins ( i usually leave my conditioner on quiet long to it could soak in ) and i rinse them off in warm water ( since in nz its winter ) and final rinse i did a cold water to lock in all the texture and moisture......AMAZINGGGGGGG.....my hair is sooooo smoooth ( i wish i could attach a photo of it ) and i towel dry my hair per normal and i use the loreal elvive conditoner spray ( a bonus ) for me and locks in the shine and moisture...and i just left it there to air dry since im not going anywhere....the smell is realy good and after few hours my hair was dry and i flat ironed my hair AMAZING results.....little frizz ( which i kinda expected ) and its very smooth overall i think its a wonder.....AMAZINNNNG.....i always loved L'Oreal product but it does really work wonder.... L'Oreal..because your worth it

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner

This conditioner smells great, its creamy but a little runny which meant I tended to use more than I really needed. Once in my hair, combing the conditioner in is simple and makes light work of knots which is fantastic. It have a great shine to my hair rather than an oily kind of look and it made my hair feel weightless! Another downfall was that I got better frizz control from straightening my hair than leaving it natural. I had less frizz and nicer looking natural curls but quite a bit of frizz was still there. All in all it did a amazing job to my hair and the pros rule out the cons :) There is no other product range that i know of that has come close to the full results that I want in just a shampoo and conditioner without using extra styling products.
