L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo Review

This is my current shampoo that I'm using. I bought this a few days ago with the Smooth intense Conditioner. I'd run out of conditioner and wanted to try something new when I spotted these. My first impression was its amazing fresh smell. The consistency is smooth and creamy and not too thick. It works into my hair well and feels like it coats each single strand from root to end and makes them silkier.

Smells amazing, lathers well, and has a lasting great effect on my hair. Used with the matching conditioner, it left my usually dull lifeless hair shiny, soft, and manageable. My hair is usually a giant fluffy mess, but this actually managed make quite a difference. It sits better, and I can actually leave it down without having to do much to it.

I absolutely LOVE this shampoo! I paired it with the matching conditioner for every use and I have been so impressed! I have been using salon shampoo for the last seven years religously and this is the first time ive tried a supermarket brand and WOW!!

The first time I used it I noticed a significant decrease in the loss of hair while washing, less tug while lathering the shampoo and it was softer before applying conditioner! When dry, my hair was so much softer, the curls/waves held a nicer shape and there was noticeable less frizz!

I can honestly say I will no longer be spending big bucks on expensive salon shampoos that do not impress me like this one does!

L'Oreal Elvive smooth-intense shampoo states: unruly and dry hair is difficult to smooth and tame. After smoothing it is still prone to frizz. 1)It is enriched with Aryan oil an ingredient naturally rich in essential fatty acids, the formula nourishes hair calms frizz.smoothing hair from the root.

It did make my hair soft and frizz free but frizz free for only about half a day.

2)48hr*protection The formula acts as a shield, protecting your hair from frizz and fly away even in humid weather. The thermo-protecting agent protects the hair from heat of blow drying and styling tools.

I still had fly away but noticeably reduced. All in all I would properly use it again it is a fair product for the price.

I was really looking forward to trialling this shampoo and conditioner but found I was left wanting. The packaging is great and the top is flat so you can get every last drop out. You open it and it smells fabulous. Fruity fresh and clean. I have quite long hair and the shampoo leaves it really clean for the 3 days between washes without my hair starting to look oily. Sadly that's where it ends. My hair is very fine and the shampoo leaves it feeling tangled, brittle and a little worse for it. Not something I'd continue to use.

This shampoo is so luxurious! it adds a lot of shine and softness to my hair especially when i straighten or curl it. For this affordable price i would recommend to anybody who has frizzy hair looking for a smoother feel. One downside i noticed was that i began getting some dandruff around the top of my head but i could overlook that since the actual texture of my hair was so nice.

I was very happy with this product. It was easy to open and had a nice consistency, although I found out the hard way that you didn't need to squeeze very hard to get the product out. Shampooing twice got the best results and the second one produces a lovely thick creamy lather. It rinses easily and doesn't leave your hair with that awful squeaky clean stripped feeling. A note for the people who suffer allergic reactions to detergents as I do, I had no reaction at all to this product.

The shampoo was nice. The smell wasn't too overpowering, I get allergic to a lot of smells in products but this was was fine. It left my hair lovely and soft and smooth. The only thing was, I have little fizzy bits of hair where my part is and it didn't smoth them at all. I would use it again

The shampoo smelt wonderful once opened. I lathered in the shampoo in sections, it was easy to apply as very foamy. I did not need to use a lot which is good for the pocket. My hair felt a little rough whilst rinsing it out, not as nourished or hydrating as I thought. I shampoo'd twice to be thorough. Both times my hair did not 'drink it in' just felt a tad straw like. once rinsed out it smelt great, after using the conditioner and having rinsed well my hair did not feel wonderful and smooth however once blow drying there were less fly aways and lots more volume so if you are after smooth and volume this may be worth trying, styling was easy after and hair smelt nice for a couple days.
