L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

I really enjoyed using this shampoo. The smell lasted and kept my hair nice and manageable as well as maintaining the overall colour well. I haven't been a big fan of L'Oreal hair products before but this has changed my mind.

What a great product, it smells amazing and leaves your hair feeling really soft, silky and shiny. The packaging is great easy to hold and also brightly coloured so is easy to find at the shops. I have mid length hair and only needed about a 20cent piece sized dollop to wash my hair. It foamed well. The size of the bottle was good and think it is definitely value for money. I also found that my hair still felt nice if I didn't have time to use the conditioner as well

The beautiful bright, eye catching bottle caught my eye in the supermarket before I received my trial sample. The bottles aren't too big to hold, and fit in the hand easily. The smell is lovely and not over powering, the texture of the shampoo is smooth and silky. I have shoulder length hair and so I used about a 2 teaspoons worth of product. My hair is also quite thick and this amount was just enough, it lathered up beautifully and it didn't feel like my hair was completely stripped of everything, so my hair still felt nice and not 'rough'. I really liked this product and actually had to go and buy it again after my daughter came to visit and took my bottles with her! I'll definitely keep using it!

I love how after using the shampoo with the conditioner you have a beautiful soft feel with shine and my highlights appeared brighter. It is hard to judge the 2products independently as I used them together, but I really loved the feel after the shampoo faze.

After testing this shampoo I was blessed with the result on my hair; it left is shiny, bouncy and healthy looking. The formula smells pleasant and foams well, a little of this product goes a long way. While it states it seals in colour I found there was colour fade which is to be expected with high maintenance red, I would not expect it to lock it in for 28 washes unless you were working with natural tones.

Also a great shampoo with a beautiful smell. It makes my hair feel soft and actually feels like its working. For a supermarket brand cheap but good.

I always use a salon shampoo and conditioner and was keen to try a supermarket brand to compare. I found it to be good, a little went a long way and it left my hair not feeling dry which is good. I have short hair so i wash my hair everyday, otherwise i can't seem to style it! I found the smell pleasant too. I think a nice smell is important! I don't have anything negative to say about this shamoo and i would defiantely use it again. I would recommend to others.

Have washed my hair my frequently, to give the product a good trial. I have medium long hair only need about the size of a 50c piece in shampoo. My hair feels thicker and there appears no fade in my hair colour. In fact several people have commented on my hair colour and asked have i changed it. I think the shampoo is exceptionally good value at $8.99 and I will continue purchase once my trial bottle runs out.

This review is hard to do in regards to separating the shampoo and the conditioner as they both work in conjunction with each other, so in consideration of this I found both the shampoo and the conditioner fantastic, I have many greys and had my hair coloured just prior to receiving these and so far (about 4 weeks later) it still seems to be holding the colour which to me is awesum as normally they would be starting to pop through now. I also found that my hair looked a lot healthier which was also a positive. All in all definitely a product I would use again.

I have salon dyed blonde hair and so I need a good colour protect shampoo to keep my hair healthy and radiant. To me, this shampoo did nothing of what it said it would. It made my hair feel flat and dry like it hadn't been washed and needed to wash it again. It didn't leave my hair looking radiant or smooth like it said it would on the bottle. Because the retail price is only $8.99 you wouldn't expect a lot from this shampoo compared to other - more expensive - shampoos but you would still expect to see a little bit of a difference. I get my hair died at an expensive salon and after testing out this shampoo, I would not rely on this product alone to protect the colour of my hair - I would prefer to spend more money on better quality shampoo. Even the smell of this shampoo isn't very appealing to me as it smells like cherries. For the last few days that I trialed this shampoo, I mixed it into my usual more expensive shampoo that I use just so I wouldn't have to use as much of my expensive one and I actually liked the results. My hair was radiant and smooth like it usually is when I just use my expensive shampoo on its own, so I can use these two shampoos mixed together to save money.
