L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner Review

This conditioner worked well with the shampoo and I recommend that both are brought. It helped alot with my dry and uncontrollable hair! My hair was alot smoother and alot easier to style. Would love if it was in a clear bottle like the shampoo so I can see when it needs replacing. It was easy to rinse out and again like the shampoo it had a nice soft fragrance.I only needed a small amount as it seemed to go along way which is great for a conditioner.

First just a little about my hair. I have had oily hair for the longest time until recently. The last few times I have been to the hairdresser they have suggested a deep conditioning treatment because it has been dry and damaged. It still gets oily after a few days, but I can feel that it is dry and I get a lot of flyaways.

I used this conditioner following the matching shampoo.

I found the packaging a little frustrating. The first time I used it the bottle creased in a funny place and it has made it hard to squeeze out each time, and I like how the shampoo has a see through bottle, it would've been nice for this to be see through as well. It doesn't flow as nicely as the shampoo,its almost custard like. It smells great, like the shampoo.

When using conditioner I usually leave it on for about 3 minutes, I try not to go any longer as it ends up weighing my hair down. With this conditioner I tried washing it out quickly, waiting 3 minutes and I also mucked around shaving my legs etc and left it longer. The first time my hair was smooth, but it definitely felt better when I had left it for 3 minutes. I was surprised though that when I left it longer it didn't feel really weighed down and a bit greasy like other products. Every time when I wash it out it feels light and clean.

When dry I was really impressed with how smooth it was. I hardly had any flyaways and it felt light but not dry. I was also unwell at one stage during the trial and I didn't wash my hair for 3 days, normally I can't get away with that. But on the third day I would have still been able to go out without it being greasy or gross.

I have already purchased my next lot of this conditioner and the matching shampoo (they were on special at Countdown for $4, really affordable)

For starters, I love the packaging! Clear bottle is super handy so you can see how much product you have left. If used not in confunction with the shampoo I don't think it'd be as effective. The conditioner left my hair feeling smooth and the frizz was definitely reduced over the period of the trial.

I was skeptical to begin with, anything that I have tried in the past to smooth my frizz usually is very heavy on my extremely fine/thin hair but this was very light and didn't take any volume away. The scent is pleasant and the price is great! will definitely considering repurchasing.

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.

picked up the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner in the recent Beauty Review Beauty Vault along with the matching shampoo as I'm convinced there must be a range out there that is cheap and perfect for my hair. This actually comes pretty close! I prefer the conditioner to the shampoo and will definitely repurchase this exact product in the future, but look at other shampoo options.

The conditioner comes in a bronzed plastic bottle that isn't something that would automatically appeal from the shelf as a conditioner because it looks more like a fake tan bottle to me! I do like the swirly gold logos and the clarity of the product labelling though.

The conditioner itself is liquid form and a quite nice gold/orange shade. It has a non-distinctive, 'typical' scent that is pleasant. The conditioner moves easily through hair and - while it doesn't appear to be overly hydrating at the time - is deceptively efficient at making sure hair has moisture and smoothness. The product washes out cleanly.

I have noticed that since using this conditioner my hair brushes out more easily, and dries to a less frizzy, more smooth finish.

I recommend this conditioner to you! You can often pick the range up in the supermarket for around the $5/$6 mark and it's a LOT better than similar products from different ranges in a higher price bracket. I'll be keen to check out other ranges from this brand.

I was very lucky to get this in the last beauty vault for 2015. I needed some new hair care products. My hair is very dry from straightening. I have been looking for something to add a bit of moisture and make my hair clean.

The bottle I recieved was a 250 ml. Its packaging is simple but bright coloured which is eye catching to any buyer. The consistency is smooth with a distink light musk scent that permeates once its being used.

When I use this I shampoo and rinse then apply this. My hair feels smooth after using ut. Some dryness had gone but my ends were still a bit dry. I wasn't expecting a miracle cure but I can notice a difference in the appearance of my hair. I can comb through effortlessly. I would definitely be buying more of this. It's affordable at times when its on sale.

I really loved this product for several reasons. One: great price. As being a student I only have a limited income, but I still want products that feel nice. This is right up with the salon brands that are 3x the price.

Two: people noticed that my hair was different. Comments that I looked like I had just had my hair done or that it smelt nice.

Three: Easy to use and no long time to be left in. I love hair masks but I don't have time to do them often, this product is hydrating like a mask. It feels rich but does not leave a product build-up in my hair.

Four: Gentle on sensitive skin. I did not have any itching or irritation with this product.

Overall: would repurchase.

I was really sceptical about this product but my hair has been really frizzy lately and I have no idea why so I really needed something to fix it asap. I just chucked this in my hair after my shampoo and left it in for a few minutes and went on with the rest of my hair care and my hair seemed less frizzy! There was still a little bit but it decreased it by a lot. The smell is very lovely too, but I find that it doesn't linger in my hair too much which I don't mind. I found that it didn't weigh my hair down at all and didn't make my hair oily and quicker than normal. This product is only slightly more expensive than my regular shampoo and conditioner so I'm really happy to repurchase it

There is nothing negative I can say about this conditioner. The scent is light but delightful, it controls my frizz prone curly hair, and the packaging makes it easy to dispense the right amount.

I will definitely be repurchasing this, and trying the masque in this range
