Maybe if my hair wasn't so fine?

Again like the shampoo, the packaging is great and you can get every last drop out of the upside down bottle. It has a creamier version of that lovely clean, fruity fresh smell. Unfortunately my hair was left feeling under conditioned while still wet and a tad too susceptible to tangling. Once dry yes, my hair is smoother and it doesn't frizz between washes and yes it's shiny. But for me it falls flat on the softness instead, leaving it feeling brittle. Like I said, maybe if my hair wasn't so fine this would have worked better... Not for me

L'oreal Elvive smooth-intense conditioner

It states that it is 1) Intense nutrition Enriched with Argan oil an ingredient naturally rich in essential fatty acids, the formula nourishes hair calms frizz, smoothing hair from the root to tip. 2)48hr* protection The formula acts as a shield, protecting your hair from frizz and flyaway even in humid weather. The thermo-protecting agent protects the hair from the heat of blow drying and styling tools.

It did smooth my hair and stop flyaway but not for the up to 48hr* stated but I would use it again good product for the price.

Smooth Intense

Smells amazing, and has a lasting great effect on my hair. Used with the matching shampoo, it left my usually dull lifeless hair shiny, soft, and manageable. My hair is usually a giant fluffy mess, but this actually managed make quite a difference. It sits better, and I can actually leave it down without having to do much to it.

Beautifully Soft Elvive!!

I absolutely LOVE this conditioner! I paired it with the matching shampoo for every use and I have been so impressed! I have been using salon conditioner for the last seven years religously and this is the first time ive tried a supermarket brand and WOW!!

The first time I used it I noticed a significant decrease in the loss of hair while washing and the conditioner distributed so smoothly and easily throughout my hair! When dry, my hair was so much softer, the curls/waves held a nicer shape and there was noticeable less frizz! And it smells delicious!!

I can honestly say I will no longer be spending big bucks on expensive salon conditioners that do not impress me like this one does!

Tips: Pair this conditioner with the shampoo, and run a little treatment oil through towel dried ends

So smooth my hair tie slid off!

This is my newest and current conditioner I'm using. Bought this only 4 days ago with the matching shampoo and I've used it everyday. This really does make my hair smoother and shinier. Lots of my friends complimented me on my hair and they all say it's noticeably softer. Very impressed with the quality of such an affordable conditioner.

So In Love, Part 2

Hehehe! Read my first review under the shampoo before you read this to make some sense out of what I am saying.....

Okay, so I'm not going to revise everything I just said under the shampoo tab, but I will explain the effects of the conditioner - the things that make it unique, etc.

The bottle is the same type as the shampoo's, but the only difference being (and in my opinion something they - and all other companies can improve on) the bottle is orange, it's not see through, you can't see how much is left in the bottle like you can with the shampoo.

WHY YOU DO THIS L'OREAL??

I love the texture of the conditioner and I think it would look so good in a transparent bottle!! The conditioner is orange, with traces of argan oil in between. I love how it looks!

It smells so much better than the shampoo, but I don't really have a word to describe how it smells. Definitely not orange-y as the shampoo.

I love how from the moment you apply it you can start to feel it working. It instantly detangles my hair, and it makes the stubborn tangles so easy to just pull apart with my hands. When I leave my hair to curl I don't brush it at all as it takes my curl away, boo.... So I often go a couple (like four) days without brushing it and with other conditioners it's so hard to get the tangles out without hurting myself.

It leaves my hair so smooth, intensely smooth! Apt name. It really, along with the shampoo (and serum if you want to) works a charm in taming my frizzy mane.

If you don't believe in this shampoo and conditioner yet, you should just go out and buy it and see for yourself, because I can promise you it's worth it.

It's so, so worth it.

I don't remember the last time I have loved shampoo and conditioner as much as I love this!

Disappointingly greasy

I bought this with great expectations, especially since it contains Argan Oil. I have frizzy, coarse hair and dry ends. Yet, after a couple of months of use, it has not been the best product for my hair. The creamy consistency is nice and the product smells good. However, even though I am careful not to apply this to my roots and only the ends, and not to apply too much, I still end up with greasy hair and build up. I have used the Arginine Resist version, and it is far better in terms of leaving your hair feeling great and non-greasy.

Tips: For seriously dry hair only

Luxurious quality for an inexpensive price

This conditioner is one that I’ve been using on and off for the last couple of years, along with the matching shampoo. I have long, super thick hair, which tends to get quite dry/fluffy on the outer layer. It’s not particularly damaged, as I’ve never coloured it and rarely use heat on it, but it does lack natural shine and smoothness.

I really like the packaging for this range. This conditioner comes in an opaque golden-yellow bottle, which stands up on its lid – super handy for getting every last drop of product out.

The actual conditioner is creamy, slightly yellow, and has a very thick consistency. I usually use a generous coin-sized amount , and a little goes a long way which is nice. It has the same scent as the shampoo: warm and slightly citrusy, and overall very salon-esque and ‘expensive’, in my opinion. It definitely leaves my hair smelling lovely, although it doesn’t linger around for ages once it’s dried.

This conditioner works really well. It leaves my hair smooth and tangle-free when I get out of the shower, and once dry it’s smooth and somewhat shiny. It doesn’t completely eliminate frizz – some things (like the weather) cause that no matter what, but it does reduce it a huge amount. I can get away with two to three days in between washes when I use this shampoo and conditioner, so it doesn’t make my hair unduly greasy.

I really love this range, and I will definitely be repurchasing (again) in the future. I like to switch up my shampoos and conditioners so I don’t get bored, but this is a reliable and budget-friendly option that I know I can trust.

Tips: Use with the matching serum for super smooth, glossy results! x

L'Oreal Shampoo and Conditioner Anti Frizz

It is so hard for me to find a shampoo and conditioner that actually work great on my hair. My hair is really stubborn, this shampoo and conditioner used to be so bad for my hair and then just last week, it has been the best thing for my hair. My hair changes the shampoos and conditioners all the time making it so difficult for me to consistently buy the same shampoo and conditioner. At first when i tried it, my hair felt stripped of all the essential oils that it needed so i stopped using it, then last week it was the only shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom so i used it and my hair felt so good after i used it. My hair truely felt so soft and nourishing it was just so good!

my knid of conditioner

amazing for me, as it did what it said on the bottle, for my hair. used with the shampoo, it had brilliant end result. after i dried my hair, it felt soo soft, light, smooth to touch. i had a lot less frizz which was really good to see a product come through. Clearly it did what it promises.Before i was using other products to control my frizz and fly aways, now i use a lot less alternate products for the frizz. I feel it was with the added argan oil extra addition. Having the thermo protection in it is a bonus, so i do not have to add my own when blow drying or straightening my hair

Tips: leave in for longer for a mini conditioning treatment
