Simply devine

I love this product!! Makes my hair silky soft and I have noticed a lot less breakage. It smells absolutely devine and I enjoy washing my hair. My hair has been tangle free and I have been getting great compliments on how my hair is looking. My hair is easier to style and stays soft.

Tips: You don't need much, a little goes a long way.

Soft Silky Hair

I enjoyed trying this conditioner. I've been using it daily along with the shampoo for the past two weeks. It has made my hair feel super soft and silky with an added shine. My hair does look healthier however as I have very fine hair it has increased the flyaways so I've needed to use more styling products to stop it. It definitely did not make my hair fuller. I actually think it made it look and feel a bit finer. It has a lovely fragrance that is not over powering. The packaging looks nice and is very informative. Overall it's a nice conditioner that left my hair feeling soft and it added a healthy shine to it.

Tips: Could be better suited for thicker hair. Be careful when opening the bottle as it is quite runny and comes out very quickly. You only need to use a little bit.

Elvive Total repair - Not for highlighted hair

I like the packaging on this product , it’s interesting and nice to look at.

I found this conditioner was a bit of a let down, usually after I condition my hair I can at least feel a difference as the product is being washed out, my hair would usually feel silkier and I’d be able to put my fingers through it , with this product it didn’t feel any different .

I found I still needed to use the Moroccan oil hair mask I have, in order to get a brush through my hair after I’d washed it.

I have dry hair from highlights and found I had to use a large amount of the product to get coverage of my thick curly hair.

This product is not as heavily scented as the shampoo, but still caused some irritation to my sensitive scalp after a few uses .

I was disappointed with the results and wont be using this product again.

Tips: Not such a good choice for highlighted hair

Total Repair Not For Me

The packaging for this product is nice, simple and clear. All information is easy to read and the ingredients and what the product is supposed to do is clearly stated on the bottle. I needed to use quite a bit of product to completely cover my hair and the first time just massaged it in and rinsed as stated on bottle but felt my hair was dry still so the next time I used it I left it in for about 5 minutes and felt that made my hair a bit softer but was still knotted and had to brush out and use a leave in conditioner after. I didn't feel my hair was stronger, fuller, revitalized, silkier or shinier after use so I was left disappointed with this product. The one thing I did like was the scent, it was nice and fresh and lasted really well - probably 12hrs I could still smell it quite strongly in my hair which was really nice. All in all, I wouldn't use this product again.

Tips: My hair is dense, heavy and long. This may work better on finer, shorter hair :) Try it for yourself.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner

Like the shampoo in this range I was really disappointed in this. Its claims to repair really seemed false when I used it (in conjunction with the Shampoo). The bottle is fairly standard. It has a bottom opening which is a feature I normally appreciate in a conditioner, but this was rather runny and the hole quite large so you ended up with a lot of product in your hand. This is quite useful as I found that I needed A LOT to get it to cover all my hair, and then it was a nightmare to rinse out. It does smell pretty, and its not too bad a price, but I won't be buying this

Tips: Save your $$$ and give this a miss

Total repair 5

After reading the blurb of total repair 5 i thought this would be exactly what my hair needed to bring it back to life, sadly i was wrong

total repair 5 conditioner left my hair feeling straw like and feeling drier than what i went into the shower with :/ I needed quite alot of product to distribute through my shoulder length hair, even when adding more my hair still felt knotty and straw like which is stranger because normal conditioners leave my hair feeling quite silky.

the packaging, smell and labeling hoowever i was impressed on, other than that i think i will go back to using my organic care shampoo and conditioner

i have dry damaged hair and saw no results in 2 weeks, bottle only has a litter left in it as well which i never go through a conditioner in 2 weeks

Makes my hair super soft and shiny

This conditioner is lovely and creamy but not so thick that it feels like a treatment or mask. It has a nice smell, nothing too strong or offensive. I smooth it through the ends of my hair first, then put any excess product gently over my roots. I find that it leaves my hair extremely soft and easy to manage. I also feel like it makes drying my hair faster and straightening my hair easier because it is so easy to manage. Love this in combination with the matching shampoo!

For reference, my hair is fine and thin and fairly heat damaged as I blow dry and straighten it every day.

Tips: Smooth a 10-20 cent sized blob through the ends of your hair only and leave it to soak in for as long as possible while you wash your face/body etc in order to get the most benefit.

total repair 5

I only tend to use normal conditioners on the ends of my hair so that is what I did with this one, I found that this wasnt as easy to spread through my hair as some other conditioners but the results were good. The shampoo its self didnt make my hair much silkier to touch but with the conditioner there was a noticable difference. The condition of my hair has improved not drastically but so far a small improvement and im confident over time I will notice more improvements. The product also is very pleasant to smell. There is hope for my hair now after years of hair dryers and straightening irons. I will definitely continue to use this duo and will also be trying the hair mask to!

Not for me

After using the shampoo, I thought this would be exactly what my hair needed to repair the damage the shampoo had done to my hair, but I was wrong. I didn't get the softness, the silkiness, or the moisture I had hoped would be absorbed back into my hair despite me having to use quite a bit of product for every use. My hair didn't even feel smooth when coating my hair in this conditioner, which I thought was a little odd as most conditioners make your hair feel silky soft when applying it. I couldn't even run my fingers through my hair, there were too many knots/matted bits all through my hair. So when it was time to brush my hair, I was expecting it to be quite a difficult task, and sure enough it was. It was rather painful, my hair was being ripped out and it was breaking, leaving me with short damaged strands of hair. It got to the point where I just had to stop brushing. It left my hair smelling lovely though but unfortunately that's the only positive thing it's done for me.
