L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I started using the shampoo on the day it arrived, love the slender shape bottle with the flip lid, easy to use in the shower, lathers up really well and has a nice smell, nice and creamy not to runny and not over powering. It made my hair feel really soft afterwards and I haven't noticed the colour in my hair fading at all, it's a really good price for a supermarket brand that does the job it says it would. Excellent.

I got this product in trial along with the conditioner, and I must say I have high hair care standards, so I'm a bit of a harsh critic. First off it lathers well, so a little goes a long way. I did notice there was less colour run when rinsing, which is always a good sign! Aesthetically this product is fairly average, nothing special about the packaging. I also found the smell a bit off putting, as I personally prefer my natural fragrances and this one seems a bit chemical to me. In terms of colour protection I can say I've noticed a difference of sorts. While my colour seems to be fading less, it also doesn't appear any shinier/brighter/etc (which is something it says it does). However in saying that my favourite this about this product is that it didn't make my scalp overly oily like A LOT of colour shampoos do! So because of that I would consider buying this again, but I wouldn't consider it my holy grail product as I didn't feel it advanced my colour at all

I was lucky to be part for this trial team and so far I'm really liking it. the shampoo itself smells lovely and is a thick texture that lathers well. it cleaned my hair well without drying and removing the natural oils from my hair. with the conditioner this was a perfect duo. not to mention the price! very convenient

I absolutely love this product now and would happily buy more of it. First of all it smells amazing during and after the wash. The size is great two I have hair just above My bum so a little goes a long way with this product. It soaps up nicely and I noticed my color didn't run as much as it did before. After I shampoo my hair rinsing it as normal I found it didn't dry my hair out.

As a total devotee to a different shampoo and conditioner brand, only this brand would do and no one could tell me any different, I have had my mind reset entirely!

Typically, if I have to use a new shampoo, like I forgot mine on holiday or similar, my hair would feel like straw when washing it and straightening it would be a nightmare. Not with this shampoo!

From the first time I used it, the shampoo almost felt like my old conditioner. Thick, creamy and nourishing it was brilliant. And smell. It's glorious. It's not a fruity wanna-be smell, it's a I'm good quality shampoo smell and it does exactly what it says - protects and nourishes your colour.

Not mentioning this trial to others, after three days of using the shampoo I got asked if I had coloured my hair. That's says it all doesn't it?!

I bought this shampoo when I decided to change my hair colour from Bleach Blonde to Ruby Red. Once I opened it I was totally in Love with the smell! I washed my hair with it and my hair didn't feel dry like it normally does after I rinsed the shampoo out. I only had to use a little bit. After the whole styling process my hair not only smelled nice, it felt soft and healthy. Also, while using this shampoo I noticed less hair dye come out so that makes the colour last longer than what it would've if I didn't use this product. Will definitely buy again!

I love this shampoo! It has kept my red color and has not faded like other shampoos do. My hair is nice and shiy and a bonus is that it smells super good. I also found that i dont need to condition every time will this product as I have done with others because it does what it says, although conditioning after shampooing makes my hair more supple, but is not necessary for every day. The instructions were clear and easy to follow also, I have recommenced it to my friends who also have colored hair.

I started my trial of this at the same time that I had a new colour in my hair so I could compare results. The first thing I've noticed is that this shampoo doesn't feel like that it is stripping all the moisture (and colour!) out of my hair. I've tried other colour protect shampoos that turned my hair into an instant haystack but this didn't. I can even get away with washing my hair every second day which believe me, is a miracle!! Lovely light fragrance and a good foam. My hair is short so I think the bottle will last at least twice as long than other shampoos- so that's a win! Will definitely buy again.

I started using this product along with the conditioner as soon as I got my hair coloured. I went from blonde to dark brown so I was quite worried about the dye fading and revealing the much lighter colour underneath. When I first washed my hair I was quite skeptical because quite a bit of dye came out (my shower water was brown) but 10 washes later and I'm happy to say my colour is still vibrant and rich! There has been no fading and I'm so impressed! Definitely comparable to high end products

Love the colour and shape of the bottles and easy to grip and open in the shower , very thick shampoo that is a low foamer but deep cleanser with a light fragrance that smells good. Washed my hair and it went from dry to soft felt clean . I love this shampoo and have used it every 2 days . I would buy this again and recommend it to friends .
