L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I have coloured hair that is wavy and can become dry and frizzy at times. L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo was great because took care of the issues that I have with my hair and it does everything it claims to do. I found after using this product, my hair seemed more radiant and shiny and I also had a few people comment on the colour of my hair as well.

The smell is pleasant, kind of florally and the colour of the bottle is a bright bold red which is a visual bonus for the bathroom. The bottle is also easy to hold and is quite ergonomic overall.

I would buy this product again but found I got the full benefits of this product when using in conjunction with the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner and then using a L'Oréal hair mask once a week.

Nothings worse then maintaining "Red Hair" for those who have Red Hair you know the struggle haha. I have to retouch my hair every 2 weeks to keep the color nice and rich and every time I wash my hair with normal shampoo and conditioner it just strips the colour out. So I was excited to try out the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo & Conditioner. I used it for 2 weeks , and washed my hair every 2-3 days. The first thing i noticed is when I washed my hair it didn't strip my color out which was amazing! It left my hair feeling soft and once my hair had dried I noticed that it made my hair colour look more shiny. I still need to retouch my hair but since using the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect range It has helped my hair color to stay more vibrant for longer.

I picked this up a month ago from Countdown on special for $4 which I thought was a good price for a supermarket shampoo. I used this before I got my hair re-dyed and then after I recently got my hair done. I have dyed blonde hair (from a light brown). I have been dyeing my hair for over 10years now. First off I loved the smell of this Shampoo. It smelt like a salon shampoo which was lovely. So nice to be in the shower feeling a bit fancy. I found it wasn't particularly foaming so it took a bit of working in. It wasn't particularly clarifying. Although this is sort of nice as it isn't drying. I can't speak for how much it keeps my colour in. But it hasn't turned my colour brassy so I'm impressed by that. So overall I enjoyed this, but don't know if it is really any better than any other shampoo I have used.

I don't colour my hair and haven't since I shaved for a cure however I have used this shampoo a number of times now as its really hydrating and tames my hair a lot better than other shampoos. The only thing that I found with this shampoo (as I have a sensitive scalp) it gave me very flaky and itchy scalp after washing my hair a few times with it. It also made my hair after a few days look really oily and if I straightened my hair by the end of the day it was oily. However no frizz or flyaways is worth it at times. The packaging is bright which is awesome. The bottles are easy to get the product out of and hold when squeezing and the price is always a good price. Even though my hair reacted the way it did my daughters hair looks amazing when using it.

In the weekend I purchased this for about 6 or 7 dollars from the warehouse. I have just recently coloured my hair with temporary colour and wanted to get a colour protection shampoo. I don't usually use this line but I have tried some of the others in the past. For reference I have got two bright temporary hair dyes in my hair. The first wash after colouring with temporary dye usually always hectic and seems like alot goes down the plug hole. This shampoo smelt nice and fresh and when I used it thankfully it didn't seem to take as much colour from my hair as a regular shampoo, anti dandruff or clarifying shampoo. I did not buy the matching conditioner because I prefer to use silicone and diamenticone free stuff. I also have plenty of shampoo at home from the vault but was low on some specific to prevent colour loss. My hair was very oily to begin with as I didn't wash it for about a week since colouring it. I don't normally leave it very long except when it's not healthy or I'm trying to keep my colour. This meant I did have to be vigorous around my scalp and near my ears otherwise my hair would still feel greasy or not clean. I didn't shampoo twice as that's something I just don't really do. But I do feel I need to use a bit more than usual as my roots were greasy. My hair feels nice and soft, manageable and not too dry even though I have dry ends and didn't use conditioner this time. I cannot see a problem with this product it seems to work for what I purchased it for. The only gripe I could say was that I feel the bottle wasn't as full as it could of been when I purchased. I can't comment on the 28 wash theory but I'm satisfied so far.

I purchased this from the supermarket at a low price of about $5 to $6. Nice attractive large red bottle and the shampoo has a pleasant but not overpowering scent. Creamy white product that lathers well. I had my hair coloured about two months ago and it hasn't faded much yet. My hair felt clean healthy and shiny with no noticeable colour fade. Would recommend for a budget friendly colour lock shampoo.

I got this product in trial along with the conditioner, and I must say I have high hair care standards, so I'm a bit of a harsh critic. First off it lathers well, so a little goes a long way. I did notice there was less colour run when rinsing, which is always a good sign! Aesthetically this product is fairly average, nothing special about the packaging. I also found the smell a bit off putting, as I personally prefer my natural fragrances and this one seems a bit chemical to me. In terms of colour protection I can say I've noticed a difference of sorts. While my colour seems to be fading less, it also doesn't appear any shinier/brighter/etc (which is something it says it does). However in saying that my favourite this about this product is that it didn't make my scalp overly oily like A LOT of colour shampoos do! So because of that I would consider buying this again, but I wouldn't consider it my holy grail product as I didn't feel it advanced my colour at all

I mainly use this product almost every day upon receiving it in the mail. It makes my hair smooth, however I have been told that this shampoo makes my hair colour bleed which I did not appreciate. It's a great shampoo overall, but does not suit me.

I normally use a reasonably expensive sulphate free shampoo and so tried this new one with a bit of trepidation. I needn't have worried as although it was really foamy (maybe used a tad too much product on the first go) the result was great. My hair felt soft and light and shiny. My colour looks great but it's probably too early to tell if it will extend the life of my colour.
