L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner Review

As far as supermarket conditioners go, I actually found this one half decent! Teamed with the shampoo, my hair was tamed an silky smooth...Hard to believe that it's the result of a supermarket brand. I'll be switching from my salon one for these! And as a bonus they smell really good. I did find I needed to use a lot of conditioner for it to soak into my hair, but it did work! I'll be going through the bottles but it will work out cheaper than my salon brand. Overall I'm quite impressed!

Absolutely loved this conditioner from the lush rich texture to its incredible smell. It nourished my hair from root to tip leaving it feel velvety smooth and flyaway free. It deeply nourished my dry dull hair.

The smell of the product ,i really liked ! However it left my hair a bit flat looking ? It detangled it , but after drying my hair it looked like it needed to be washed again? it looked smooth and tamed my frizz ,but somehow i didnt get the same effect i do with my regular shampoo >

Since using this conditioner i am already seeing improvements in my hair. I've recently started straightening my hair and using heat which has made it dry but this conditioner gives life and moisture back into my hair making it feel supple and soft. It is a heavier conditioner so its good for curly/wavy hair but it doesn't weigh it down or make greasy unlike some other heavy conditioners have done to my hair

I like the packaging and the smell but just like the shampoo it didn't live up to my expectations. I didn't really see a change in my hair other than it feeling softer.

Unless I take the time to properly blow dry my hair, apply product and straighten, my hair is generally bushy and out of control, even more so as am currently pregnant. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this product did what it promised. My hair was noticeably smoother and less 'bushy' after using it with the accompanying shampoo. I tested it with a towel dry straight to bed, a towel dry with a little serum, and a blow dry. On each occasion my hair was considerably smoother than with other shampoos and conditioners I have used. There were less fly aways and it was also shinier.

My hair is coloured and fine but I have a lot of it. This means it gets REALLY frizzy, and I can't leave it to dry naturally without some styling help. This conditioner has a pleasant smell, goes through the hair easy & makes it feel nice once washed out, The only down side I had was that it made my hair go oily slightly faster than normal.

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)

I used this conditioner in conjunction with the ELVIVE shampoo ,the bottle has a sleek design which was easy to manage and i loved the bright yellow color.The conditioner had a thick creamy texture which smoothed very easily through my hair, the scent was very fresh and pleasant, my hair was left feeling nourished and definitely less frizz was visible at the end of my trial,the price was fair for all the sizes that are available,i would happily recommend this conditioner and also continue to use myself on a regular basis.
