L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

The smell of this conditioner is amazing but my hair was left feeling rather oily after using it which was disappointing. It bought out the brightness of a little bit of blonde I had in my tips also made my hair feel super soft which I loved. I did like this product I would have used it again if it didn't make my hair so oily.

I got to trial this product and I can't say ill be buying this again! Following the shampoo which i felt didn't clean my hair very well this did leave my hair feeling smooth and silky but post shower it was a ball of tangles and knots! I have very long hair so an important thing for me is the post-shower, because i cant stand standing in front of the mirror trying to brush my hair yet pulling half of it out at the same time! The next time i applied time serum in my hair post-shower and it was easier to brush but sometimes i dont have time for that!

If you have shorter hair and knots etc isnt an issue then this could be a good product for your short coloured hair, as in the shower it does make it feel nice and smooth! although dont use to much because it takes awhile to come out!

I had the opportunity to review this conditioner along with the matching shampoo The packaging is nice and bright and the smell was simple but pleasant. I used this shampoo to wash my hair over the last couple of weeks. I was not overly impressed with the way it made my hair feel. It did not seem to feel completely clean and no matter how much I rinsed felt like there was still some residue. It may just be my hair but I ended up using a different product every second wash to bring the shine back as this product seemed to make it feel limp and greasy. Did it do what it says it will? Well I don't think I can fully comment as the trial period was not really long enough and I had nothing to compare it to. It does claim on the bottle 80% of colour preserved after 28 washes - not entirely sure what they mean here as for me personally 28 washes would take about 9-10 weeks and most colours have begun to fade in that time anyway. I want a product that preserves the colour and shine from day one of having it done!

As I was so disappointed in the shampoo I was not expecting anything from the conditioner. I don't think it has helped with my hair colour at all but as a regular conditioner it worked fine.

I normally only purchase salon brand hair care so was quite reluctant to try this. I found this conditioner a bit too heavy and rich for my fine hair. Despite only using a small amount I found this weighed my hair down and made it quite limp and lifeless.

I bought this for two reasons. My 1st was that it smelt really nice and secondly, I bought this straight after I got my hair coloured. The Conditioner lasted me for 6-7months, and I stopped using as I got a bad case of dandruff. I really liked how it made my hair smelt and felt. After using this, my hair was left feeling light, soft, easy to manage, however I didnt really see my hair colour staying longer than normal. I bought this for $12.00 from Souls Hairdressing and probably wouldnt use it again. The packaging is what attracted me to the product, very sleek and eye catching.

Smells lovely but unfortunately gives me itchy scalp and dandruff with my sensitive skin. I like how it smells fruity and is easy to wash out and makes my hair feel really soft but I wouldn't buy it. Didn't find it held my colour any better either.

250ml bottle, has a nicier frangrance than the shampoo, not such a chemical smell, went on well and once again didn't have to use that much as i have short fine hair, for the price ok product, but i prefer my salon brought product, found it easy to rinse out didn't really notice any difference in the fading of my hair colour, would like to see how it works in the summer months as i have a copper colour in my hair that fades quickly.

I enjoyed trialling this conditioner but not a fan.

I followed the conditioner after the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo.

Unfortunately, using both the conditioner with the shampoo still left my hair feeling flat.

I really like the packaging, vibrant red and the conditioner is easy to extract.

I did not like the fragrance and pleased it did not linger in my hair after.

I certainly did not use in *28 washes.

The conditioner did not add moisture or shine to my hair. I left the conditioner in for 2 minutes, 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

I did notice less colour in the rinsing water but may have been because I only had my roots re-done and have waist length, thick hair.

The Good - I loved the packaging of the conditioner, and the smell was pleasant.

The Bad - It was far too thick for me and was very hard to wash out. It weighed down my hair, felt greasy, and left my hair feeling very flat.

Would I buy again? Probably not. The heaviness of the product out weighs any colour protection benefits.
