L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

I have been using this product for the past fortnight. Washing my hair every 2-3 days.

The packaging is beautiful with a red bottle, gold and silver writing. It is an upside down bottle which I love as it makes it easier to get the product out & you can use every last bit of it.

It is a white glossy think consistency with a lovely smell that isn't over powering. My hair smelt lovely for days.

I only needed a small amount and applied it to mid length and ends of my hair. I left it on for around 2-3 minutes, then combed my hair before throughly rinsing.

This conditioner was really easy to rinse out and I absolutely loved how silky my hair felt while washing it out. I couldn't stop touching it :-)

I am very happy with this product and will continue to recommend and use it even though I don't feel that the shampoo and conditoner prolonged my colour but like I said in my shampoo review, red dye is one of the hardest colours to prolong.

The shampoo and conditoner combined definitely prolonged the radiance of my hair as it has been a lot more shinier compared to other products I've used so overall, I am happy yet disappointed that it didn't prolong my colour but it may work perfectly for other colours though?

To do a really test on this product, I coloured my hair 2 days prior to receiving the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is brown, but I have a lot of white hair especially around my temples and face. In the past when I coloured my hair, the white hair only holds onto the dye for a maximum of 2 washes. With this shampoo and conditioner, the colour lasted 8 washes before the white came through again. So while it didn’t keep the colour of the dye for long, it did keep it coloured for 75% longer than other hair products.

I would continue to use this product.

I really liked this product, to test this out my hair had recently been streaked blonde which does usually tend to fade out nicely as it grows.

This product had a nice thick consistency which was great to leave on my hair for a few minutes without dripping off. I only needed a small amount of this product. This conditioner left my hair smooth and easy to brush. It also left my hair feeling lightweight and not weighed down.

The packaging was nice and sleek and looks lovely in my shower, the lid is easy to open. This product smells amazing and very much like a salon conditioner, the scent also lasts through to when my hair is dry.

I don't think this conditioner fully protected my colour but it hasn't faded as much as when I use other shampoos and conditioners do.

I was really pleased to be chosen to trial the L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Conditioner.

To begin with I was pleasantly surprised with the scent of the conditioner. It wasn't overpowering and wouldn't compete with the other fragrances you wear by the time you put on your moisturiser, deodorant, perfume etc. The conditioner is light in consistency and I was really pleased to find that you actually don't need to use much to get a great coverage, making it economical. I left the conditioner on for around 3 -4 minutes before rinsing off, although there weren't any instructions on the bottle to do so. The conditioner rinses out easily. The result left my hair feeling soft and manageable.

Post wash all I do to style my hair is use an Argan oil product. I found that the combination of using the L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner with the oil makes styling my hair really easy, and what's more it stays in fantastic condition for days, not having to straighten my hair in between washes, so I am really pleased with that result.

The product promises to seal colour, protect hair and prolong radiance. I feel like it delivered on most of those. The first time I used it I was a bit annoyed to see some of my colour in the foam that rinsed off. Each application since has taken a bit more of my colour with it, but to be fair to this product this may be more about the colouring product I used, rather than the shampoo and conditioner. I would need to use a different colour to be able to know for sure, so I wouldn't want to blame the Elvive for this, but still mention it as a possible observation that still needs to be resolved.

At my supermarket the shampoo and conditioner retail for $6.59 each and I think that is excellent value for money for the product, and on that basis I would definitely purchase and use it again.

I was very excited to receive this Conditioner and Shampoo set as I have been looking for a product to prolong the life of my colour as well as nourish and protect my hair for ages! All of the products I have tried in the past felt like they have stripped the colour from my hair too quickly, leaving me with dull and faded colour, I have not been disappointed here!

First off, I love that this conditioner is not too thick and a little really goes a long way. It leaves my hair feeling so soft and silky and not like it is being weighed down with product. I did battle in the beginning to rinse all of it out but I soon discovered that I just needed to adjust the water pressure on my shower head a little! After doing this I have had no issues with rinsing.

The fragrance is devine, clean and fresh and paired with the shampoo gives my hair such a lovely scent.

With regards to the colour protection / prolonging part, so far I am really happy with the results. My colour has had very little fade and still looks vibrant after two weeks of using these products every second day.

All in all I am really happy with this product and will definitely continue using it!

Much like the shampoo I would not recommend this product for people with dyed red hair. Color fades fast and leaves the hair dull and lifeless

I get bored with shampoo and conditioner on a regular basis, which is why I tend to chop and change quite a bit. I had found a brand I really enjoyed but loved the opportunity to try this shampoo!

It made my hair feel incredible - soft and easy to style. It was hard to tell the effect it had on my colour as it's due to be redone, but it did feel like the colour didn't deteriorate as quickly as it normally would.

I would definitely buy this again and would recommend it to others.

I loved how my hair feels after using this conditioner. I used it with the shampoo, but also had days where I just used the conditioner. My hair felt silky and seemed to retain the colour nicely as after two weeks with a new colour it was still nice. Did not seem to fade as quickly as usual! Nice scent to it.

it left my hair feeling beautiful (after I used the shampoo) my colour was brightened after using , smell is ok and I put some in my hair to use as leave in conditioner and it kept my hair from going frizzy so would recommend that to people with frizzy hair :)

I tried this Conditioner after just colouring my hair a week earlier. The smell was really nice and it left my hair feeling and looking shiny and healthy. The things I didn't like was the fact that it seemed to be quite thick and I found it quite time consuming it rinse it out thoroughly.
