L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner Review

Appealing packaging and lovely fragrance. The texture of this product was creamy & thick and felt nice in my hair. I have noticed my hair has slightly less frizz but can not say it has made a huge difference.

This conditioner isn't my favourite I found that when I put it in it wasn't as smooth and silky as other conditioners are but overall not too bad , after washing I blow dry my hair and it was so smooth and straight which is what I wanted!

Really good product does what it says it does. I have really oily hair and didn't do much for me as I felt like I had to wash my hair a lot. Apart from that it leaves you hair really nice after you've showered. And the argan oil leaves it super silky

Lovely conditioner, left hair super soft and smooth. Washed out properly with leaving a horrible film. The smell was nice not overpowering like they are sometimes. I would try it again.

It states that it is 1) Intense nutrition Enriched with Argan oil an ingredient naturally rich in essential fatty acids, the formula nourishes hair calms frizz, smoothing hair from the root to tip. 2)48hr* protection The formula acts as a shield, protecting your hair from frizz and flyaway even in humid weather. The thermo-protecting agent protects the hair from the heat of blow drying and styling tools.

It did smooth my hair and stop flyaway but not for the up to 48hr* stated but I would use it again good product for the price.

It's so hard to review a conditioner when you've just reviewed the matching shampoo but here goes.

I was gifted this set of shampoo and conditioner and have to say I like them quite a bit but would not consider changing from my current regime of either Sorbet or salon brands.

These bottles are easy to use in the shower and fit nicely in your hand but as I mentioned before I do not like the orange colour of them.

The conditioner is a lot thicker than the shampoo and I imagine as you near the half way mark you'll have to shake the bottle and bang it a lot to get the product out. I like that it's thicker than the shampoo though, it's probably psychological but I feel like it's more conditioning if it's thicker.

Again - the smell of this is just not for me, there's nothing fresh or funky about it at all.

In conjunction with the shampoo, I find it does a good job of taming my frizz compared to other supermarket brands I've tried. Nor does it irritate my scalp which is a bonus and which is why I don't normally use a supermarket product.

All in all these are good products but I don't feel compelled to go out and repurchase due to the smell.

I received this to trial in a Black Box and was pretty excited as I'm always interested in trying products that claim to give me smooth locks. I have damaged, coloured hair that tends to get oily roots and dry lengths, and while it's naturally straight it does get it's fair share of frizz and flyaways.

I used this in conjunction with the matching shampoo and like that it has a nice, salon-quality fragrance which isn't really distinctive making it hard to otherwise describe! The packaging is simple, an orange functional plastic squeeze bottle that's easy to use and store.

The formula of the conditioner is a white lotion which is slightly creamy but not overly so. I applied it to my lengths and ends, avoiding my roots as they tend towards the oily side. After rinsing and drying my hair, I was prepared to be blown away by the 'smooth intense'-ness of my hair. Unfortunately the results were underwhelming, I didn't notice any difference between this and other conditioners I have tried at all. The morning after washing it at night and my hair still had the tell-tale signs of frizz and while soft enough, wasn't anything to write home about.

This is a good, standard conditioner which does the job but I wasn't really impressed me and for the price it is I wouldn't repurchase it full price although I may purchase on special.

I grabbed this and the matching shampoo in the beauty vault.

I really love the description of this type, however it's not moisturizing enough for my hair.

My hair is dry and yes it's pretty frizzy and knotty,

I really thought it may calms and smooth out my hair. Smells really lovely and easily melts into my hair but it just didn't nourish my hair enough.

It still felt quite dry after my hair air dried.

I won't be repurchasing.

Packaged in the standard Elvive bottle of orange colour. It holds a pale orange liquid, not runny and not too thick, a good consistency for conditioner I think. The scent for me was non offensive and didn't hang around on me. I did a couple of co washes only with this and found that it was ok for this. I did however use this mainly with the matching shampoo.

Applied to wet hair I needed about 2 fifty cent pieces, my hair is nearly at my waist so if your hair is shorter you won't need as much. Once mixed through I normally leave it for about a minute to soak in and work magic. My hair comes out feeling soft even when wet. I normally wash my hair everyday so the longest I could go is about 2 days using this alone but this is not putting anything else on the hair including dry shampoo by day 3 it was oily down at the roots and I needed shampoo again. My hair was softer but no noticeable difference on the frizz. I found it also didn't weigh my hair down. For me this is a nice back up, I still prefer my Sunsilk addictive shine over this.

I had to use a lot of product so my hair felt conditioned. has a lovely fragrance and did feel silky smooth after it rinsed out. But after drying my hair it was back to being dry and unruly.
