Creamy Conditioner

I purchased this in the beauty vault with the shampoo and was pretty keen to try it, especially as it contains Argan oil, and I am always on the look-out for a good conditioner. I have dry, damaged hair and constantly deal with frizz and flyaways.

It comes in an orange plastic bottle with a flip top, easy to open and use. The product is lovely and creamy with a beautiful scent.

On application it is soft and glides through hair like silk. I loved the creamy feel of it. It rinsed out easily and didn’t leave any heaviness, stickiness or build up.

My hair feels soft and smooth after drying, blow dries nice and smooth, and after regular use certainly seems to have reduced frizziness. Like the shampoo it claims to nourish and tame, with lasting smoothness, and I believe it meets these claims. It also says it has thermal protection, and I noticed my hair didn’t feel dry after blow drying, on single occasions, nor after several days in a row. It continues to stay soft and silky overnight and is still smooth in the morning.

I would purchase it again and I do recommend it to others to try, particularly for dry hair.

At around $9 I think it is a great product for the price.

Tips: Use with the matching shampoo for best results.

Nice Conditioner

I was lucky enough to get my hands on L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner in the last Beauty Review Vault.

The Conditioner comes in a bronze coloured bottle with an easy to open flip top lid. I like that the lid is flat, as the opening of bottle faces downwards and then you can capture all of the product. There is no waste.

What stood out for me was the Conditioner is enriched with Argan Oil, Thermo Protection and it's Anti Frizz.

I do not need to use a large amount of L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner in my long, thick hair. It lathers easily and rinses out of my hair leaving it to feel amazing. The Conditioner itself is a similar colour to the packaging and thick in texture. I always leave in for a couple of minutes before rinsing out.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner has a nice fruity/fresh smell but the fragrance does not linger in my hair.

I use the matching Shampoo before Conditioning. My hair looks shiny and there is less frizz and fly-aways, particularly around my face.

This is a good product that is readily available from Supermarkets or Pharmacies.

Tips: Use the matching Shampoo.

Elvive

This is another product I picked up from the last beauty vault and I was quite excited to try this on my crazy hair, it's not curly but if I let it air dry after iv washed it it tends to turn into a fluff ball. The conditioner it's self is a nice caramel sort of colour and it has a nice smooth silky texture which is really easy to get out of the bottle, especially when the conditioner is in one of those upside down bottles that I love as it makes it so easy to get every last drop out of.

When useing this conditioner with the matching shampoo I noticed a difference in my hair, it wasn't as silky as I would of hoped for but I guess you can't expect conditioner to work like magic.

This product was AMAZING on my 2 year old sons hair!! He has really tight ringlet curly hair and this conditioner along with the matching shampoo seamed to define his curls and stopped them going so fluffy

My in-between Conditioner

After just reviewing the Shampoo here is my review on the conditioner... (added the same start just for background info on my hair)

I have salon dyed blonde wavy/curly hair and I heat style it every day + always dry it with a hair dryer which of course means its frizzy too, so this should ideally be a good match.

Really easy bottle to use (almost too much comes out it you squeeze too hard, so be careful) and its in an unmistakably bright orange bottle (which is great cause hubby then knows which one to use!)

I find this conditioner great after shampooing with the same shampoo. My hair feels soft, clean and mostly nourished.

I still always have to follow up with hair product to take the frizz on my hair, but even with high end conditioner I have to aswell. This is a great all round conditioner when you can nab it on special. Don't expect miracles, but its better than a lot of other cheapies I've tried, and for that reason I would purchase it again.

Silky mostly frizz free

It suggests to put it all through your hair from root to ends. I did this and it makes new hair growth so fluffy so I wont be doing that again. Other than that its gorgeous, it made my hair so soft and healthy that my hairtie i use to get round 3 times had to go round 4 times as my hair was so silky and shiny

Tips: Go from ends first then through to mid lengths, dont go around new hair growth areas as it makes them fluffy

Smooth!!!

It made my hair really smooth and super soft. I found that it didn't keep my hair quite as moisturised as a conditioning mask would (which I am used to) as it dried out a little when the day became more humid and rained but it definitely did what it is supposed to do! The product also smells great!

Tips: Excellent for frequent use and for hair that is not too damaged, also if you didn't want to style your hair too much after as it gives your hair a great smooth "flowy" look!

Feels very silky

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!

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner

I really liked the smell of this conditioner, it had an awesomely fresh smell, which really appealed. I liked the conditioner, it had a great consistency and texture, and felt really nice on my hair. I also liked that my hair still felt nice and light after using this conditioner. With some conditioners that are specifically for smoothing out frizzy hair, they can make your hair feel very heavy, like there is a lot of product in your hair. However, my hair feels light and voluminous. I also found that on day two, my hair didn't feel super oily, it was actually still nice and light, and I almost could have gone 3 days without washing it (which is very unusual for me). Overall, pretty happy with this conditioner, would definitely use it again!

Tips: Make sure you use from the root to the tip to get that lovely, soft, hair that we’re all after.

Great drugstore alternative

I started using this as a teenager.

Loved the smell, creamy texture and light yellows colour. Did a fantastic job at softening my hair which I gained many compliments on but once a month I'd have to switch to head and shoulders as it gave me bad dandruff.

Tips: Leave for as long as you can for better results
