L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

This product tends to leave my hair feeling like most supermarket shampoos.. really dry and like straw like. It smells amazing however and alongside the conditioner, my colour hasn't faded any further in the last couple of weeks since I have been using it. It has also made my colour look brighter but I do think that there are better things out there for the same price

I have coloured hair that is wavy and can become dry and frizzy at times. L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo was great because took care of the issues that I have with my hair and it does everything it claims to do. I found after using this product, my hair seemed more radiant and shiny and I also had a few people comment on the colour of my hair as well.

The smell is pleasant, kind of florally and the colour of the bottle is a bright bold red which is a visual bonus for the bathroom. The bottle is also easy to hold and is quite ergonomic overall.

I would buy this product again but found I got the full benefits of this product when using in conjunction with the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Conditioner and then using a L'Oréal hair mask once a week.

Excellent on my hair, really soaped up well and cleaned my hair, recommend it to others. I only need to use a little amount in my hand and I Did this twice I got that very squeaky clean feel. The shampoo is a great price at $8.99 has latest me a lot longer than other shampoos that I have brought as I seem to be using less. Would recommend L Oreal Paris Elvive colour Protect shampoo.

I use salon branded shampoo but when ive run out or am feeling the purse pinching a bit this L'Oréal shampp and conditiomer combo is my go to brand. Light and non greasy a good substitute for a short time. After a while my hair starts to feel limp so I drop the conditioner back and it comes right.

So I have been trialling this shampoo for the past two weeks and I can say it actually works. I dyed my hair just to make the most of this product and of course for a change and it has actually stayed, the colour still looks as though I dyed it yesterday. Also the scent and texture of the product is very good. I would definitely recommend.

The first time I used this I noticed a difference in my hair straight away. It felt so soft and shiny than before. Also my colour has stayed maintained which is a bonus as being blonde it can fade quite quickly. I normally mix up my shampoos and conditioners between supermarket and salon brands every week as otherwise my hair gets used to it and I don't really notice a difference after a while. I used this for a week and it was still just as soft and shiny like the first time I used it. Used with the conditioner it's a great combination and the overall results look great. I'm happy with how my hair looks and feels using this shampoo, especially the colour which looks healthy and brighter.

The ELVIVE range is definitely my go to supermarket shampoo and conditioner range. I absolutely love, love, love this product!

Majority of Supermarket brands tend to make my hair feel dry and crisp.. not the ideal thing when you already fry and dye your hair with bleach and other goodies. I found that the Colour Protect shampoo was a fabulous and nourishing shampoo. It cleansed without stripping the hair completely!

I found that my colour looked brighter after using it, it didn't get as brassy or faded after washing my hair - I didn't find that colour was falling out when I was washing it.

I absolutely love the packaging.. It's so sleek and modern - Looks great in my bathroom! I also really enjoyed the scent.. I find that supermarket shampoos smell so harsh - but this was light and floral. Absolutely perfect!

I would definitely recommend this to a friend, and I will be continuing with using this product and trying out others in the range!

Nothings worse then maintaining "Red Hair" for those who have Red Hair you know the struggle haha. I have to retouch my hair every 2 weeks to keep the color nice and rich and every time I wash my hair with normal shampoo and conditioner it just strips the colour out. So I was excited to try out the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo & Conditioner. I used it for 2 weeks , and washed my hair every 2-3 days. The first thing i noticed is when I washed my hair it didn't strip my color out which was amazing! It left my hair feeling soft and once my hair had dried I noticed that it made my hair colour look more shiny. I still need to retouch my hair but since using the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect range It has helped my hair color to stay more vibrant for longer.

This is my first review that I have ever done on a shampoo. Im never usually too fussed about what brand I get as I think they all do the same. As long as it smells good and it doesnt leave me hair feeling oil Im all for it. I dye my hair with a box dye.... Naughty, I know! But Im lucky with being a brunette as I find its easier to maintain, I only need to dye the roots every 4-6 weeks. So below I am just going to do bullet points of the shampoo (pros and cons) and hopefully this will help you girls that are more intuned to your hair, unlike me :) x

* Ok so I love information, when it comes to products I love to know what special key notes that the brand have put on their bottles to make it stand out from all the rest. First thing I noticed was NEW 80% of colour preserved after 28 washes. I unfortunately havent done that many washes to see if that fact is 100% true, I have maybe done 8 or so washes. I usually only wash my hair 3 times a week, but for the purpose of this review I tried my hardest to wash it at least every second day to put it to the test! So far Im pretty impressed with how well the colour has lasted, especially when sticking to a colour protect range. Its only lightened in certain areas around the roots, I did get my hair cut (and washed) inbetween this process so that proberbly doesnt help but I did find that after about 2 or so weeks that I had coloured my hair (and I did do my whole head to get rid of the old dye that was in it) that it still looks almost freshly done. Im curious to see how long its going to last ;). Another key note that stuck out to me was that it does have UVA and UVB filters in this product, I have never noticed this on any other brands of shampoo (correct me if Im wrong) but I am a big sucker for any protection against the UV rays!!! Who shouldnt be!! This technology is proberbly what has helped my colour last longer as all us brunettes know the sun is a pain at lightening our hair, especially if we are wanting to acheive a nice rich deep colour! So Im all for that!

* The packaging is the only thing that bothers me, if only the base of it was a bit thinker so that its not so easy to fall over in the shower. For some reason that annoys the living day lights out of me, I like products that can stand their own in the shower! :P The smell of this product is pleasent as well, nothing to overpowering it just has a nice fresh and slightly floral scent to it.

Overall I find this shampoo to be a pretty good one. It has managed to keep my colour lasting longer while giving me a good wash. Im still yet to keep at it with this product as Im curious about the 80% factor after 28 washes, Im sure it is a true fact otherwise it would be false advertising but I just struggle to see how thats possible.. But with the UV filters, you cant go wrong with that! :) I hope this has been somewhat helpful, found it a bit difficult as Im not usually a hair focused girl but wanted to give it a go anyways xx

I've used this shampoo about 8 times over the last 2 weeks - and during this time have also had my hair colored. It's been great! It's feeling very strong and although I use purple shampoo every second wash(blonde) this shampoo has been very effective. It hard deffinitly helped with the greasiness on my scalp! I've noticed my colour is vibrant and definitely holding with this shampoo ! Happy customer :)
