L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I have used numerous Colour Protection Shampoos due to having vibrant red colour throughout my hair. This product had a lovely smell that remained in my hair for the day. Packaging was appealing and eye catching which would be good on supermarket shelf. Only a small amount of shampoo was required (less than usual for my thick hair) and it lather up well. I felt my hair lacked a bit of life and became relatively flat. For the amount of time used there was no significant difference in colour fade noted against other products.

First of all i really enjoyed the scent of this shampoo. I did notice that it made my hair shiny when i was trialing it. I would have loved to have tested this for longer but because I have quite long thick hair. This bottle lasted me 2 weeks ( washing my hair once every 2-3 days) I also noticed that even after 3 days it wasn't too greasy at the roots which for me is usually a problem after 2 days. I used this shampoo the day after i had my hair dyed. Usually it would take a few washes to make it soft again. But after using this shampoo once I noticed that my hair was soft.

As said in the title, I think I will need to trial this product a bit longer to see the benefits. As someone who does not wash her hair every day, instead every 2-3 days, I have not experiences the full 28 washes..

I dyed my hair before starting this trial and have washed my hair approximately 12-14 times with the Colour Protect shampoo. After the first wash, I noticed an all over shine which the back of the bottle states. After the most recent wash (after 14ish) I do not notice any change in my colour - always a plus!

Shampoo is light weight and smells great. Doesn't make my hair feel icky once dried and reacts well to styling.

I love the smell of nice and floral but obviously this productvdoesn't just have a good smell. After a using this shampoo a few times I could feel that my hair color more shiny and soft. I have medium lenght, thin hair which just color before try this shampoo. I whish that I could have some more time to try before to see the result in long term. Over all I love this product!!

This shampoo (& conditioner) is my brand new favourite :) I was stoked to make the trail team on this as I had often eyed up the brand in the supermarket, the shiny labels on the red bottles really stand out and I probably would have brought after my current shampoo ran out. I had just coloured my hair again a couple of days before the shampoo arrived so it was fantastic timing, usually when I shampoo the first time after coloring I see a little red in the shampoo but I didn't notice it at all with this product. Oh... and the smell! The shampoo and the conditioner both smell divine, even good enough to get a comment from himself, much nicer than the chemical flowery scent I'm familiar with from other colour protect brands. My hair felt clean without that stripped tangly feel that I sometimes get and once followed by the conditioner was beautifully shiny & manageable. Definitely 5 kisses from me, the shampoo I was using is in the bin already :)

I have using this product, daily, for the last week.

It comes in a funky red bottle, and is a great price... but i am still on the fence about it.

My colour hasn't faded, like it normally does with other shampoos in the same price range. Which is a great thing, really it was doing the main thing I was hoping for... but it didn't do much else.

It definitely did fell like it was getting deeply nourished, and there was little radiance or shine. My hair felt dried out, and my scalp has become flaky, which is something I have never had an issue with..

I wouldn't use it again, but if you dont want to spend a lot of money and need to have your colour hold for longer, this product will do the job, but like i said.. not much else.

I received the Shampoo & Conditioner to trial, and both were fantastic. I made sure to freshly dye my hair, before trialing the set. I found that the set did do exactly what it says it would do. It protected my new colour, and made it last longer, did not fade so much every wash/condition. Of course some of my colour did wash down the drain, due to being brand new, but less than what I would have expected! The actual shampoo and conditioner are very easy to apply, and smell really good! However be careful not to get any soap bubbles in your eye when you rinsing off as it can sting a little :). The bright red packaging is attractive, and screams 'colour protect', the set is affordable and definitely a set I will be purchasing again. Overall, I definitely recommend the set, in my opinion it is the whole package!

I found the consistency to be what I like in a shampoo, not to thick and not to runny where it runs of your hand before making it to your head!! it was nice and easy to apply I found that it lathered really well without being to foamy and fake feeling, I needed to use a good amount however that is because I have long thickish hair... I find the fragrance of it ok it has the typical shampoo smell, nothing overpowering which I like and I found after I had dried my hair it had just a nice slight fragrance to it.. I found the packaging to be a nice bottle, has a lot of information on the front and back which is good to read, I found the shampoo to come out really easily .. The price is really good, I usually purchase expensive ones from my salon so it is great to know that I don't need to do that.. I found the shampoo made my hair feel quite rough on washing it out however the conditioner soon fixed this problem..

I found this product to do what it said to do, I noticed after using a few times that my colour had not faded, if anything maybe become a bit brighter.. I can suffer from dandruff so would not be able to use this product every time, but I defiantly am sold on it and would defiantly go out and purchase it and recommend it to a friend.

Makes your hair so nice and soft and silky. Kept the colour in really well. Would recommend it to any one who wants to keep the colour in there well and for a long time

This is my new favourite shampoo brand! this made my hair so nice and not as dry as normal! my hair dye is still rumming when i wash my hair (by now it should have stopped running, so not really sure its doing the right job on the colour protect side) but other than that, I love it!
