L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

I love this shampoo, it smell's really nice, my hair is very damaged and was falling out due to breastfeeding but after using this shampoo my hair felt a lot stronger. Felt silky smooth and really made it shine. My hair was clean and the smell stays in for a while, this is one of my favorite shampoo and conditioner range.

Dont buy it I found the shampoo and conditioner a waste of money Its something i personally wont make again

This shampoo matched with the conditioner was ok. I was a little unsure as while washing my hair felt very dry and brittle even after the conditioner was applied. However once my hair dryed softness, bounce and life came to my hair which supprised me. This shampoo doesnt leave your hair smelling fantastic but it was nice

I have been using this shampoofor the last 3 months after not feeling happy with the brand I was using. My hair has felt silkier, looked shinier and felt stronger since I started using it. Although not to the same extent as the conditioner, the red plastic on the shampoo bottle does collect water which means the bottle needs to be opened and emptied before travelling with it. Otherwise the bottle is great during travel.

I'm a big fan of Elvive. I think I may have, in fact, tried them all. As such, I think I'm qualified to make the statement that this is the least impressive of the bunch, which is disappointing because it promises the most. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good product and fantastic value for money, however it fails to live up to it's own hype.

The packaging is less alluring than other "flavours" in the range for a start. Shallow I know, but hey, I'm the one that has to look at this every evening when I take my well deserved break from the world and indulge in a ridiculously long shower, so this sort of thing counts.

I do adore the smell. It smells expensive. Almost salon-like...almost.

What it boils down to though is always going to be results and I just didn't get what I was after with this. My hair wasn't soft or frizz free and dryer afterwards than I'm used to, even after using leave in treatments. When lathering it feels as though I'm taking a bit too much from my hair. Maybe this would suit someone with oily hair but not me.

I decided to try the shampoo because the skin care range works well for me. The packaging is sturdy and easy to use when in the shower. The texture of the shampoo itself was similar to the texture of a condition, with a light, pleasant fragrance (which lasted when the hair was dry). The shampoo lathers up really well so a little will go a long way. It did leave a slight residue in the hair (similar to that of Pantene shampoo), but in all honesty with my hair being dry I didn't mind that. I have read the claims and feel they may be a little optimistic, but my hair felt soft and silky as it probably would have with a multitude of other shampoos. A good supermarket shampoo and certainly value for money but not really any different to the likes of Pantene and others in that price range. Would I use it again - probably, but I would not go out of my way to buy it.

This is my go to shampoo, because it smells amazing and makes you hair feel incredible. However, it does not "repair" like it says it does. Seriously girls, the only way to repair your hair is just to go get a trim every month. A shampoo definitely won't do the trick. I saw this as a normal shampoo and not a treatment - however, I do love it and I actually always have it stocked at home, only because it doesn't dry out my hair, and it really does make your hair feel amazing.

I tend to prefer salon products for my hair, just because they seem to give me better results to give moisture to my dry highlighted hair.

However, I'm always keen to try to find cheaper alternatives than spending a fortune on salon products. So, I was excited to try this range.

I've had good experiences with Loreal products in the past so I was hoping this would become my new holy grail shampoo and conditioner. Total repair is exactly what I wanted for my hair!

The shampoo packaging is distinctive of loreal, it is stylish and sleek. I love the look of the white and red together and looks great in my bathroom. I think for a supermarket product this looks high end.

The formula is a normal consistency and lathers up well. It seems to clean my hair well and smells lovely and fresh.

However, I didn't find this shampoo to live up to its claims of total repair. Other salon products hydrate and nourish my dry hair well, but sadly my hair felt like it lacked moisture using this product.

It was definitely worth trying this, but I would not repurchase in the future, as this product was not effective for my hair.

My hair has always been prone to breaking and falling out so I decided to give this a try.I am currently using this along with the repair conditioner and I have noticed my hair is shinier and softer to touch after awhile, but is still quite brittle, and for some reason goes very dry as soon as I get out of the shower even after the conditioner which makes it very hard to brush. Maybe not the right one for me? Overall I guess I thought it would be better than it was and am a tad bit disappointed but on the plus side it does make my hair smell nice and leaves it looking shinier.

I recently purchased the large 750ml pump bottles of the Total Repair.

I really liked the Colour Protect and I adore the Minute mask.

So I thought meh just give it a try. It was only $9 each and these bottles will last ages.

I'm really glad I did.

I love the fragrance my hair smells great for days.

I love the thick creamy texture of the shampoo and it lathers so beautifully.

Rinses so well too and my hair does not feel stripped, it does feel silky.

My colour also doesn't run too much. Always a bonus in my eyes.

Leaves my hair shiny, silky and smooth and the frizz on top is kept at bay. Of course I know it won't seal up my split ends but it's a really good nourishing shampoo. Perfect for dry thirsty hair.
