L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour Protect Shampoo Review

This shampoo smells like a sweet candy that I can't quite put my finger on. I started with a small amount, which went a long way. At first, I thought it was going to be very foamy and create a lot of bubbles but it didn't. It cleaned my hair and left it fresh for a couple of days. From what I've experienced, it's just as good as salon products but just at a more affordable price!

I so really like this shampoo, I think mostly because it foams up a lot and it feels like you are giving your hair a great wash! It also smells FANTASTIC! Like salon hair! The bottle shape suits me as well, when it gets low I can flip it upside down. It also fits nicely in my shower caddy and stands upright! I was previously using the Elvive Arginine shampoo before trialling this and my hairdresser said I had great undamaged hair! So that's really good! I just wish that they could combine an arginine with a colour protect - I guess this is because I colour my hair AND worry about my hair falling out so how can you choose? I think generally when you colour your hair it does fall out more than normal so this needs to be part of a colour protect.

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!

All in all I really like this, the smell is great ,nthe comsistancy is good, it's very moisturising, leaves your hair feeling great. I have not noticed fading at all in my hair colour and it is bright red and usually fades very quick. Most shampoos make me hair very very greasy after a day and I was having to was my hair every day but using this I only wash it every 2 or 3 days!

I've been using the Elvive Colour Protect shampoo and conditioner for about 3 months now and I'm really happy with the colour protection of this cheap supermarket range. After my lilac semi-permanent colour washed out really quickly, I switched to this brand of shampoo and I've found it's maintaining my hair in a pretty pastel blue-green colour, which is great as I don't have to re-do the colour all the time! My favourite thing about this shampoo is the smell, which makes it seem a lot more expensive and luxurious than it is! I also like how I don't need to use as much as I usually do to make my long hair feel clean, so it lasts me longer than other supermarket shampoos.

I had recently got my hair coloured before receiving my elvive shampoo. It was the perfect timing to give this a go. This product out of my experience does what it says. My colour has been looking the same since day one. The smell of the shampoo is so refreshing and the texture is so smooth when washing your hair. It glides through your hair and you dont have to use too much shampoo at a time compared to some other colour shampoo brands i have used and you have to use quite a bit of shampoo so that it gets through all your scalp. Once my hair has been washed and dried my hair looks absolutely amazing, leaving my hair feeling like ive just come out of the salon. it feels like my hair is glowing and feels like the shampoo has done its work to protect my hair.

OMG!!! I totally had a mega blonde moment and thought my first review was about both!! Hahha the shampoo well where do i begin?!? It is actually amazing the smell and texture is great!!!! It doesnt feel like you actually have anything in your hair!! Amazing!!!""

Great shampoo, you only need a small amount and it lathers up realllyyy thick and nice! Has a nice light scent and leaves you feeling super clean. I have dark brown hair with toned highlights and my hair still looks as good as the day it was done. The bottle itself is nice and easy to use, I find some quite awkward to squeeze or difficult to get the product out, I had no issues with this one. I would definitely buy this product again.

The first thing I noticed about this was the smell - a really nice (in my opinion) sweet vaguely fruity/berry smell. This was a change from the usual chemical-tinged smell most salon bought colour protect shampoos seem to have. It lathers nicely and rinses out easily, and it didn't leave my hair with the slimy feeling that some shampoos do after I've had it bleached. I've not noticed my hair colour fading/yellowing so it seems to be doing what it promises - I was using salon bought shampoo before this so at less than half the price, this one will definitely be on my list of products to use again.

A really nice shampoo that doesn't strip your hair of everything. My hair is very dry and often impersonates straw so I was hoping this shampoo was going to be super moisturising, and it was. It's quite thick so I needed a little extra water to get up a good lather and I really liked the smell. Did t do much for the colour of my hair but it definitely ticked all the other boxes. Will get again for sure
