Smooth and shiny but hard to style!

Just like the shampoo, this conditioner tends to make the hair difficult to style, because of how shiny and light the hair is! It tends to sit in the way it dries. Although I did find one time my very thick and wavy hair got tangled the same day after I washed it, I was rushing around a lot that day, and usually it keeps the hair from tangling, especially after it has dried.

The scent of the conditioner is nice once in the hair, but it does have a very slight chemical afterscent, which is not very noticeable. The yellow colour isn't extremely appealing either. I also find I need quite a lot of the conditioner to spread through my thick hair.

Overall it leaves your hair looking shiny and smooth and amazing, so I'd definitely use it again, but you just have to be careful when it dries!

Tips: Make sure you either let your hair dry naturally in a nice position, or blowdry it, because it will retain the shape that it dries in. That means if you go to sleep with it wet or wear a hat etc and it goes funny, it might stay like that until you wash it next. But if you make sure it dries nice, it will stay in a nice position and look great!

Great combo

I only use this in conjunction with the Smooth Intense Shampoo.

This has a nice light and refreshing scent. It's a good, thin consistency, and is easy to spread through my hair as it softens and detangles straight away. As soon as I rinse it out I can feel my hair is silky smooth.

After using this duo, I do feel that my hair is most definitely smoother and more manageable. I think this is a good, effective set to try.

Tips: I leave this in for about a minute, before rinsing.

L'Oreal Paris Elvive Smooth Intense Conditioner

I love the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Smooth Intense Conditioner.

It made my hair feel soft and smooth and is really a lovely product. Used with the matching shampoo it was really great and I'll use it again.

The price is very affordable. It has a sweet, subtle fragrance that is really nice.

I would use the conditioner again as I would the shampoo and would recommend the full range for people with other hair types.

Tips: You don't need a lot. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb in the shower if you have straight hair.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner

Great to smooth hair and add a level of shine. Use if you have thick to medium hair. Made my thin hair lack volume. Good to control fly away hair.

Tips: Best for thicker hair needing smoothing.

L'Oreal Smooth Intense Conditioner

I found this to be quite a good conditioner. It made my hair feel nice and soft and helped lock the moisture into hair. It's quite a thin conditioner though and I would suggest using a thicker conditioner a couple of times a week if your hair is quite dry. But other than that it definitely helped make my hair soft and tangle free. However it didn't do what it said it would. Since I already have pretty smooth, straight, limp, thin hair this didn't do a lot for me. I'm not too sure if it is just because my hair already is straight and smooth or if it doesn't actually do what it says and calm frizz.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner

I found this conditioner to be extremely good value and was easily as effective as other more expensive products I have tried. Having very curly hair with a tendency to frizz it definitely reduced the frizz without making the curls look limp. Excellent value for money.

Tips: Use in conjunction with the shampoo.

Good product

Just like my review for the corresponding shampoo, this product was just too heavy for my hair. For people with less fine hair and in need of control of "fly away" hair it would be perfect. It is a lovely conditioner but just not right for me.

Tips: Use in combination with the same shampoo

no more frizz!

Unfortunately for me my hair type is one of those hard to manage ones. I have bleach blonde hair so its rather dry and damaged and its naturally curly (not that I ever let it go curly!) so no matter how hard I try when I dry my hair it always is frizzy. Firstly I must point that I am usually a "snob" when it comes to shampoo and conditioner and only usually buy from salons. However after still not getting the results I want (even after straightening my hair would become "fuzzy" on the ends throughout the day) and after being offered the chance to trial it (thanks again BR!) I tried out this product.

AND I must say I am officially converted! The conditioner comes in a yellowy golden bottle so its easy to distinguish the difference between the shampoo and conditioner in the shower as they come in different bottles.The product itself is nice and creamy and glides on the hair easily, and an added bonus is it smells great too!

I used this in conjunction with the loreal elvive smooth shampoo and the results I have from both products is amazing! My hair is so silky and smooth and smells great. What I love the most about this product is that when I straighten my hair and go out for the day, my hair still stays straight and silky and no frizz or fuzziness! I definitely will continue to use this product.

And at a third of the price I was paying I've definitely found the best product for my hair type. Unfortunately for me there is now a fight on in the shower for it as my partner also tried it and he loves it too!

Tips: use in conjunction with the elvive smooth intense shampoo. Also comb the conditioner through and leave for 5 minutes before rinsing out for great results.

Elvive Smooth Intense Conditioner

Once trailing the shampoo and loving how it felt on my hair, my hopes on the conditioner were the same. This conditioner is easy to apply and like the shampoo, has a great scent! My hair is dry and brittle on the ends but from using this conditioner regularly with the shampoo, it has become smoother and noticeably shinny. I love leaving it in my hair for around 5 minutes while in the shower to let it fully absorb the oils. This product is affordable for its results and definitely a product i would purchase in the future.

Could not be happier!

I could not be happier with this conditioner! Me and my mum have both been using this for the past two weeks and we have both seen a huge improvement. My hair is a lot less frizzy when i leave it natural and when I blow dry it! I feel like my ends are a little bit thicker too because I'm not trying to tame them with the straightener! Usually my hair doesn't stay straight when I straighten it to go out, but after using this conditioner it stayed straight for the whole night! I could not be happier
