L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner Review

I really like this product, in conjunction with the Smooth Intense shampoo. It did leave my hair beautifully soft and shiny on day one, although by day two it was not as noticeable. It did reduce frizz and my hair sat much better after using it.

My only real issue with this, and it might just be a dealbreaker for me, is that it was very difficult for me to spread this conditioner through my hair, and consequently I had to use A LOT of it at a time. Now I usually had to use a fair bit as my hair is long but this seemed a bit much even for me! I still have maybe 2/3 of the shampoo left and maybe 1/4 or a 1/5 even of the conditioner left.

Having thick, dry and frizzy hair conditioner is an absolute necessity for me! I found this conditioner very nourishing and made my hair really soft. As the conditioner is quite a thick formula it did weigh my hair down a little, which was a pain. This conditioner is suppose to make your hair super smooth, which it didn't do for me. I had high hopes for this product because of the description but was a little disappointed when it didn't really follow through. I have tried a bunch of different smoothing products and have been disappointed, and this one kind of falls into that same category. Although the product made my hair smooth while wet, as soon as my hair was dry it wasn't noticably smoother. The shampoo and conditioner make a nice combo and this isn't at all a bad product, it's definitely something I would suggest for people to try out because it could work miracles on one person's hair and not the other, and for the price it's not a big risk to take. The product retails for $8.99 which is a little more expensive than other drug store conditioners but it does have nourishing elements such as Argan oil in it. I think the reason it was mediocre for me is because of the thickness of my hair, I need something a little more intense.

Great to smooth hair and add a level of shine. Use if you have thick to medium hair. Made my thin hair lack volume. Good to control fly away hair.

I like the bottle design, they stay standing in my shower and upside down which means not having to shake and tap the bottle when getting to the end. I found the formula was great not too thick and very easy to rub through evenly. Didn't notice less frizz first couple of washes but did by the 3rd - the first couple of washes my hair was so smooth it seemed to be more frizzy but by the 3rd time using it i had a nice balance of smooth, less frizzy hair. I have medium to long length hair and found I only needed to use a small amount so love that I'm getting more washes than usual out of the conditioner. After towel drying my hair, the hair brush goes through my hair so smoothly no tangles at all.

Definitely love the conditioner more than the shampoo in this series as it makes the hair super smooth and de-tangles hair well. Same as the conditioner, I don't notice the effect it has on frizziness but I am definitely a fan of how smooth it makes my hair! Smells average but comes in a elegant gold bottle.

I was pleasantly surprised with this product. The packaging is standard, sturdy and easy to open and close in the shower.

It isn't particularly scented which is a good thing for me. The product is an average consistency, maybe slightly thinner than my usual conditioners. I find I use quite a lot of product. I have fine, curly hair, medium length. This rinses out well and my hair is not tangled and is easy to comb after I have used this conditioner. I don't know that you get a completely frizz free result, but it isn't bad. My hair isn't weighed down by the product. As my hair is quite dry something a tiny bit heavier may have been better but this is OK.

I wouldn't say it really took any frizz away, but it did make my hair feel really nice and clean and easy to work with. It also made it look nice and shiny. If I blow waved it it seemed to be frizzier after than usual but if I towel dried it it wasn't. All in all a really nice product to use but not nessecarily for de frizzing use.

Im usually one to be very skeptical about conditioners and often choose to avoid them due to having super fine and oily hair, however after using the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner I feel as though my mind has some what been changed. The texture is thick and creamy, the smell is just devine and to be honest it works better than johnson and johnson no more tears in the kids hair. It had made my hair slightly more mangaeable, much softer and the smell is long lasting. If you are looking for a conditioner to tame frizzies then look else where because this is not one for that.

I'm a big Elvive fan but don't usually use this particular range. My local pak n save has an abysmal selection though and didn't have my usual Elvive so I thought I'd branch out and try this one.

Like the whole range of Elvive it smells amazing. This one is slightly nutty and evokes luxury when you smell it.

The conditioner formula is thick and luxurious and I didn't find I needed to use an excessive amount like I often do with supermarket conditioners. It also is slightly marbled, presumably with some sort of oil or concentrated smoothing formula which makes it feel fancy.

I found it okay-good with my frizz. To be honest I was expecting more. It was great on the ends but my flyaways were a bit beyond it which is a bit weird as other Elvives not targeting frizz seem to work better.

All in all I think this is a great supermarket conditioner and at the price it's at you can easily play around with other varieties until you find v one that's right for you.

This product smelt and felt great. However, I was disappointed with the end results, frizz wise. I naturally have big loopy curls and after I had used this I let my hair dry naturally but there was still quite a lot of frizz. I love the feel of this product though so I'm going to give it another go when there is less humidity in the air. I'd definitely recommend for girlies with straighter hair. But, it smells wonderful so I'll definitely still use it and try and make it work for me
