L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Arginine Resist Conditioner Review

This shampoo comes in a funky pink and black bottle; nice and easy to spot in the supermarket. It made my hair feel super soft even when wet and it smells amazing. I found that there was a lot less hair fall after a few washes; I used to have heaps down the back of my clothes after each wash. Pretty reasonably priced compared to similar products and readily available at a number of retailers.

I was so extremely excited to review this anti-hair fall conditioner as I seem to have a problem with hair loss through washing, combing and even hair snapping as I wear my hair up alot. I rated this a 2 for 'would you use it again' as I would use it again for a general conditioner but not for what it is marketed for. I don't feel I got the results I was to believe I would get. A bit disappointing all round. This conditioner smells great, and it makes my hair feel soft afterwards, but I almost get an unfortunate oily look or feel to my hair after I have straightened it. I cant say that I noticed any difference to my hair strength at all, and I still get the same amount of hair fall and breakage. I still end up with a small handful of hair falling out per wash. I have used cheaper brands and received better results.

I really wanted to love this product, but unfortunately after a couple of weeks of consistent use, I'm far from convinced.

The smell is gorgeous and leaves hair smelling good after washing. It also leaves hair feeling quite nice and hair is easy to straighten/style.

As for the claims of reducing hair fall, not so sure. I don't feel I can be totally accurate in my review until I have used the full bottle, but I would expect to see some results by now regardless. I am still pulling quite a lot of hair out as I wash and I was really hoping not to be!

The other thing with this conditioner, I don't feel that it has the silky feel, set angling qualities I'm used to in a conditioner. A someone who often has my hair up in a scruffy bun, the ends get a bit dry and manky, and usually a good conditioning leaves them soft and healthy again. I don't feel I am getting this result with this conditioner.

I enjoyed using this product. I was quite sceptical whether it would reduce my hair loss, but it certainly did what it said it would. My hair loss reduced, no big handfuls of hair in my hand in the shower. The fragrance was pleasant. My hair is soft and manageable.. I don't think I'd pay $8.99 for this product, overall good trial.

I rated it a 1 for "use again" because I didn't find it overly fantastic. It left a residue which I really hate in conditioners. - Ie after blow drying my hair it looked oily. I also noticed a very strong "chemical" type smell when I used it which would put me off buying it again however the general perfume of it is nice. I rated it a 3 for "did it do what it said" - I do feel I had less hair fall however and will be interested to see the results by the end of the bottle. I didn't feel particularly nourished at the root but definitely felt oily. I rated it a 2 for recommending to a friend.. I would only do so if a friend mentioned hair fall.

This smells amazing, and as my hair gets oily fast and I only wash it ever 3 days I was worried that it would be too heavy/oily for my hair as it is a thick creamy texture. No need to be worried, rinses out great and makes my hair soft and shiny! Will be repurchasing!!

I’ll admit I was skeptical about the claim of reduction in hair fall. Who wouldn’t be? This is a supermarket brand conditioner after all. Unfortunately, this conditioner doesn’t live up to the hype. After suffering with significant hair fall over the past 3 or 4 years, it was going to take a miracle product and this conditioner just isn’t it.

The packaging is terrific. Black, silver and hot pink will really stand out against the plethora of white bottles on shelf. The scent, like the shampoo, is very pleasant. After applying the conditioner, I'd leave it on for at least a minute. I tend to get greasy hair very quickly, so I make sure to only coat the ends and never apply to the roots or my scalp. I’ve been using this conditioner along with the matching shampoo for 3 weeks now. The combined effect is really good. Very smooth, soft hair with no greasy build-up and uber easy to style after. BUT, sadly no noticeable reduction in hair fall.

Once again, I’d say this is a great conditioner for general use, but if you are buying it purely because of it’s claims, you will be disappointed.

The MAIN thing that I look for in a conditioner is the consistency. I know I said this about the shampoo (if you read my other review too - things may be repeated) however, my hair is so long that consistency is really important! If it's runny or watery then it just doesn't massage well into my hair and a lot of product gets wasted. I find myself buying different conditioners to shampoos because the range of shampoos I like - their conditioners suck! Luckily though - in this range, the conditioner AND shampoo are both awesome!

This conditioner is nice and thick and is easily massaged into my hair. It's a lovely creamy texture and it smells gorgeous.

The bottle is small though and it's fairly expensive considering how much you get and I use ALOT of conditioner on my hair as it is very long so that's not really ideal for me personally. If you had shorter hair you'd be fine!

As for the claims it makes about stopping your hair from falling out... it's tough to gauge if it's actually making a difference. Probably, it's not as I never really see a difference from supermarket conditioner claims, but it's okay because other than that it's a great conditioner!

It makes my hair feel nice and all that jazz and I'd recommend it to people with both long and short hair. However if your hair is long - then get it on special! I have been using it for a week and a half every second day and it's nearly run out!

At first I was a little sceptical about this product. I received both the shampoo and conditioner for the trial from BR. When I was my hair I have always had enough hair fall out to almost make a wig. My mum always used to joke that it is a wonder that I'm not bald already! Quite possibly the best part about having thick, but straight hair, there's enough to go around. It smelt pretty good, as the L'Oréal brands do, so that was a bonus. The conditioner was pretty thick ad creamy, which surprised me as some supermarket brands I've use din the past have been rather watered down in comparison. I wash my hair 2-3 times a week depending on how the week goes, so it took a good two weeks before I noticed any results. By the second-third wash I was admittedly a bit disappointed as I was expecting results, however by the fourth wash, BAM! I found close to half the amount of hair that usually came out while washing it was falling! (Even my boyfriend was a bit surprised by the size of my 'hair ball'). The combination of the shampoo and conditioner did not leave my hair feeling greasy. I would recommend this product, but expect results to take it's time to show. I would recommend this as a decent supermarket branded conditioner.

I've used this conditioner along with the shampoo for 3 weeks (washing my hair 3 times a week). Together with the shampoo I haven't seen any visible difference in terms of less hair loss. But overall it seems to perform like any other conditioner: makes my hair soft and smells good.
