L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner Review

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 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!

Great conditioner! Formula smells pleasant and foams well, a little of this product goes a long way. Hair did not feel weighted down with the usual silcons they load conditioner with. My hair is lovingly abused with frequent heat and this seemed to bring the dryer areas back into condition. Again I still noted colour bleed so do not feel this would lock colour in for 28 washes for those who love bold hair colours.

As with the shampoo I have washed my hair more frequently to give the conditioner a good trial. My hair feels softer, thicker and appears to be in better condition. My comb just slipped through my wet hair with the conditioner in it and once conditioner rinsed out still remained tangle free. My hair is definitely bouncier. Several people have commented on my hair colour and wanted to know if I had changed the colour!! Expectionally good product at reasonable price and will definitely be purchasing again.

Love the fragrance! The packaging is eye catching and bright and stands out in the supermarket. The texture of the product is smooth and silky/glossy. I used about 1 tablespoon of product for my shoulder length, thick hair which seemed to maybe even be a bit much, it is easy to apply and feels lovely on the hair. I also (time allowing) combed it through and left it in for 2-3 mins before rinsing out. I did find that when rinsing out it left a slippery residue on my neck and body which I didn't like, and if it's the last thing you do when in the shower I found it caused pimples on my neck, but if I washed thoroughly the residue off or tipped my head forward for rinsing it was ok. My hair was beautiful and shiny, soft! And bouncy! Also smelled fantastic, the colour is holding well and still vibrant - if only it would inhibit the growth of grey! I'll continue to use this product for as long as I colour my hair I think.

As with the shampoo, this was also in a great bright coloured easy to hold bottle. I love that the lid is essentially on the bottom of the bottle which makes it easier to use. The conditioner is thick and creamy and washes out well. Made my hair smell, look and feel amazing.

This review will be similar to the shampoo one as I always used them together, the conditioner after the shampoo. I enjoyed the way this conditioner made my hair feel. It made it feel soft and appeared shiny. I enjoyed how it seemed to tame my frizz also. A good shampoo for coloured hair.

I found the conditioner to be a great thickness which I like in a conditioner, it was really easy to apply to my hair, I also needed a bit of this for my long thick hair, like the shampoo this conditioner is a great price, and I would defiantly go and purchase, like the shampoo this product has a lot on the front and back which is great I enjoy reading all the blurbs, this is really easy to get out of the bottle.

I loved the way when applying that it really sunk into my hair, so I knew right away that this product would work. I left it on my hair for a few minutes not that it says to do this on the bottle..

I found my hair to be quite soft after using this product and my colour had not faded like I said in the shampoo review I think it helped to make my colour look brighter.

Love the L’Oréal shampoos and conditioners. This is a fave. But my ultimate fave is their new one dream lengths in the peach bottle so that’s the only reason I bumped this one I feel the dream lengths is a better all rounder.

This is still a great solution. It’s smoothing and detangling which is great for my dry coloured ends. I love the range has a UV filter which is handy. Hard to know if it’s working but handy.

It left my hair smooth and snag free wet and dry. Which leads me to believe it is actually treating my coloured ends so less cuts in between colours letting you keep more of that colour.

I think you could get away with just using the conditioner if you had to pick one in the range. But luckily this comes up on sale for about $5 which is really affordable for the size and quality of their shampoo and conditioners. I would much rather buy these than cheaper shampoo and conditioners at the super.. for the price the amount you get is great vs cheaper brands.

I still need a purple conditioner for the ends as it doesn’t stop my brass/copper look that my ends tend to go but it doesn’t claim too so I can’t mark it down for that. It does a great job making coloured hair feel smooth and shiny so love it.

I'm using this in conjunction with the shampoo in this range and am quite impressed with it. I used it in place of the conditioner supplied with my hair colour and the first thing I noticed was the fragrance. It's subtle but fresh. I need a little bit more of this conditioner than others but it conditions my hair well without making it greasy. My hair doesn't feel like it's being stripped of it's moisture and colour with each wash and I can get away with washing my hair every second day which hardly ever happens even though I have short hair!
