L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

After dying my hair to Ombre shades I was more than happy to give this shampoo and conditioner a go! I really feel like my hair has improved since using these every second day.

The conditioner- I LOVE this conditioner, the pure richness and creamyness of it had me sold from the first time I used it. I have long, dry hair so is quite hard to please. When rinsing the conditioner off your hair just turns to silk. It smells amazing. The packaging is professional and stands out as a beautiful vibrent red! After getting out of the shower I have also noticed my hair is so much easier to brush through afterwards. I will definately be repurchasing these products, for the price I think they are worth it! Every day wear of my hair has looked shinyer and healthier. When used with the shampoo I was looking closely at the colouring of my hair, I haven't noticed much difference with colour fade, but maybe over time once I have finished the bottles I will be able to see how the colour looks.

I've noticed the appearance of my hair after using this continuously for two weeks. This conditioner deeply penetrates into my dry and damaged hair. My hair feels soft and silky after the first week and it helps to enhanced my newly colored hair. The consistency of this conditioner is thick which allows me to use only a little and it goes a long way.

I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for the last few weeks (washing every second day).

I love the colour and the design of these bottles always a bonus to have both bottles with a flat cap to flip them upside down when supply is low.

The shampoo was nice and thick which gave a really good lather and a nice scent to go with it. Not fruity as such more of a nice professional salon smell to it which lasted til my next wash.

The conditioner was creamy in texture and just as nice to smell, i only ever use a tiny bit at the ends of my hair so that it isnt too heavy on my hair.

The result: Lovely silky hair with a (almost) salon quality shine. I have highlighted hair and didn't notice any brassiness or dullness in my colour. Thank you beauty review, for the price i might just repurchase in the future.

I’ve waited til the very last minute to submit my review as I really wanted to give both of these products a really good go so ditched my normal shampoo and conditioner and have exclusively been using these products for the last 2 weeks (and still have some left in each bottle).

First off - the shampoo: It comes in a nice, easy to use bottle. I think its designed to sit upright with the lid on the top but as this part is flat I’ve been keeping it upside down so its always ready to use.

I really love the smell of the shampoo. Its an appley/ fruity scent that’s not too overpowering and makes your hair smell good the day after you’ve used it. It lathers up really easily so you don’t need to use too much and it leaves your hair feeling fresh and clean.

The conditioner is where is all goes wrong for me. It doesn’t smell as nice as the shampoo and I found that within a few days my hair was looking oily/ dirty which never happens with my normal shampoo. This meant that I was having to wash my hair every couple of days instead of twice a week so that also meant that I ended up losing more colour that I normally would.

Overall, I think it’s a good backup product and one that I’d buy to take away on holiday when I don’t want to take a giant bottle. I’ve found that you get what you pay for with hair products so for something around the $8 - $10 mark you cant have super high expectations.

I've been using this and the shampoo for a couple of weeks now and I love them. I dislike conditioners that don't feel think, this one is a thick one and I always use too much, this one spreads really easily and it smells nice (not chemically) usually I end up with either that shampoo or conditioner smelling nice, this time BOTH bonus! Have been told my hair smells nice since I've been using this (only by my husband, no one else gets close enough to smell my hair) My hair feels soft and shiny and my colour has been given a boost as it was beginning to fade. Will be purchasing this from now on, want to see what bit will be like on fresh newly coloured hair

I was really happy to receive both the shampoo and conditioner to review as I have recently dyed my hair so it was a perfect time to put this product to the test! I was a little apprehensive at first as I was unsure if it would do what it said it would but to my surprise it does!! After leaving the shampoo on for a few minutes I applied the conditioner to top it off - it smells delicious so I was not afraid of using it! I also leave the conditioner on for a few minutes to work its magic. I am really happy with this product and will be buying it in the future. Thanks BR X

I am having great results with this Conditioner, It leaves me with shiny, glossy hair that I just cannot stop stroking. It smells nice but I find the smell doesn't last long after your hair is dry.

I love the lovely thick formula that softens my hair immediately and you don't need to use much for a good wash.

The packaging is sleek and I love the colour. It looks great in the shower and doesn't take up much room. I I think it is salon quality conditioner but cheaper.

I have been using this product for the past 3 weeks every 2-3 days along with the conditioner

the packaging is nice to look out but I found it slipped out of my hands while in the shower the labels have too much writing on them making them less interesting to the eye.

the smell is nice, it's tangy but not a fruity smell.

the texture is what you would expect in a nice pearl colour.

I found after using this with the conditioner my hair ends were super frizzy.. which was disappointing.

I also read on the back packing for the 28 day trial of washes it is using the extraordinary oil as well which I did not use.

My coloured hair has faded over the use of using this, it is not as vibrant as it normally is and feel very straw like not nourished at all.

I used this product in conjunction with it's partnered shampoo. The technique I used was shampoo twice, condition once. The product smelt lovely and was nice and smooth as I put it through my hair. I left the conditioner to do it's magic while I completed the rest of my shower. The product rinsed out well. My hair is soft and shiny - makes me feel younger and more vibrant. I can not attest to the preservation of my colour as I need to use the product longer before I can confirm that. At this stage my regrowth is the only problem I have with my colour.

Using this conditioner was a pleasure. The smell was amazing and my hair felt and looked alot less dry on the ends so I could air dry without using product. My hair colour still looks great :)
