L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner Review

I've saved this L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense review for last. I've used the shampoo and liked it, although my scalp wasn't so fond. I've used the serum and loved it. But I wanted to see how the condition reacted with my hair when used on its own (along with a different brand of anti-dandruff shampoo).

I washed my hair and applied as usual, (I like that it's a thick conditioner with little scent) smoothing it out from the mid-lengths to the ends. Whilst waiting I washed the little human's hair and then rinsed mine, it left it feeling smooth and tangle free. Once out of the shower I dried and combed the mop and then threw it up into a bun for a couple of hours while I did housework. After releasing my hair from the bun and letting the last bits dry off I looked in the mirror and ...........

There was next to no frizz! My hair was smooth! I was amazed. I didn't think a conditioner could do that. L'Oreal has proven me wrong.

I really do like this range. It's pretty to look at, it's a decent price and most importantly, it does what it says it will do. I'll definitely be purchasing the serum and conditioner again.

Thank you for this review opportunity BR - it's been fantastic :)

The Conditioner was smooth and spread SO far in my thick locks! The smell was amazing, and it lingered reminding me of the product all day. Instantly using both Shampoo and conditioner my hair felt clean, and controlled. Although I blow-dried my hair, I wasn't comfortable straightening it without product, although I found my hair held its shape and as it packaging states it gave me 'smooth hair, without weighing it down'. Great product – would recommend!

Been using this shampoo & conditioner for around a week and have found it to be so much better than i expected. It smells amazing so good! the packaging isn't anything special but then again its not an expensive product so can't expect much. I have super super dry hair, its very coarse and damaged from heat and bleaching it, after the first wash my hair felt so much softer and felt in better condition after a week overall my hair is in better condition than before i started using this product! 100 % recommend this product to anyone with dry damaged hair thats on a budget , i have tried every hair product under the sun and sometimes you can over $100 on something and it not work for you at all and its such a waste of money, however with this i feel confident in suggesting it to people as for the price its worth the money so go get the shampoo and conditioner girls you really do need both!! :)

This is amazing considering it's a supermarket product, feels so silky on your hair when you're using it & there are no tangles without combing it when rinsing it out. It smells so good & my hair feels pretty soft & not frizzy after using it, so I would recommend!

I really, really wanted this product to do what is said it would, i.e. get rid of frizz for 48 hours. While a decent conditioner in its own right, it didn't do for me what I needed - I used it along with the shampoo and it most definitely did not get rid of the wispy/frizzy bits in my hair - they were still present as usual once my hair air dried. The product also doesn't go a very long way - my hair is just past my shoulders and not especially thick, but it felt like I had to use a quarter of the bottle to coat my hair properly. While my hair is nice and soft, it has a slightly oily feel the morning after using the conditioner. Usually my hair takes a good 3 days after a wash to feel oily, so this is not ideal. The bottle said the product is created for dry hair, so this could be why. My hair is definitely not dry and runs towards oily. All this said, maybe my hair is just not the type of hair this product is aimed at. My hair is, as I said, not dry, and straight-wavy. I tend to get little frizzy, wispy bits after washing normally, but nothing major - and the conditioner could not take care of this. Perhaps someone with worse frizz may have seen a difference?

Am definitely a fan of this! Says to smooth, anti-frizz, shine, and my hair looks just that.

Conditioner doesn't feel like it all through your hair, but don't over do it! Doesn't feel like its doing anything but once washed out your hair is beautiful. Hair feels clean and lovely.

Even after brushing hair doesn't frizz as much, yay!

If you are one who loves a super yummy smellng shampoo, sorry to say I have definitely smelt better, but totally worth it for how shiny my hair looks!

LOVE

I have very fine, curly hair that likes to "puff" up no matter the weather. Even after straightening, the puffiness remains, and I need to run an oil through my ends to get a completely smooth, silky result.

I had high hopes after seeing "argan oil" on the bottle, however I don't think it left my hair nearly as soft and smooth as my regular conditioner does. To be honest, my hair felt rather dry.

I did find that after using the shampoo and conditioner, my hair was a lot smoother after straightening, but this may be because the shampoo hadn't completely cleansed my hair of excess oils - my roots still felt a fair bit oily straight after a fresh wash. I only skip one day between washes, and always use a dry shampoo on the in-between days, so it's not like there's a lot of oil build-up to get rid of. The shampoo has a rather strong smell that I wasn't particularly fond of, but it's a lot more subtle in the conditioner.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are fine for just getting the job done, and i'll be keeping them in my bathroom as back-ups, but after reading claims of anti-frizz, silky smooth gloriousness, I feel they just miss the mark.

This is a very good product, it has a lovely fragrance, moisturisers my hair well but I did need to use quite a bit each time probably because my hair it quite dry on the ends. I felt it did make my hair smooth & less frizzy. I would recommend it to those with dry hair but for others like myself with coloured hair & a perm I felt my hair needed more nutrients to the ends as my hair was started to feel dry on the ends.

Ive been using this for the past week, and i must admit it really does make a difference, i can notice my hair is a lot smoother than usual. And its not too heavy for my hair like a lot of supermarket brands are for me. Would definatly use again :) Thanks BR! :)

The product is a good price for the size , easy to use tip and squeeze instead of a pump system so you get all the product .

I used this product a full week , my hair is coloured also.

I highly dissliked this conditioner since it says on the bottle ''for dry frizzy rebellious hair'' i expected it to be quite moisturising and make my hair feel smooth and soft , no it make it into a dry notty mess ! deffinetly not what i look for in a conditioner , the only upside for me is it had a pleasant smell
