L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo

I don't normally but shampoos for dry frizzy hair, i normally go for volumizing products. I did like it though and it does smell great. My hair feels and looks so soft and shiny, the only problem is my hair has no volume and to me my hair MUST have volume. My hair is not dull and lifeless after using the shampoo, just flat. I will, when i have finished using this shampoo, go for the Loreal Fibrology shampoo, but i will stick to smooth intense conditioner. I do love the fact that these are affordble.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo

I tried out this product with a different conditioner and then with the matching one to see if they worked better together and I did notice a lot more of a difference, I have really frizzy hair and it did tone it down more then a standard shampoo and my hair wasn't as knotty as it usually is. it also smells amazing, all in all for the price and being a super market product is a good easy go to.

Tips: I tried following it up with a miracle oil e.g Moroccan oil and felt it intensified the smoothing

Nice shampoo

Been using for a few weeks and happy with product. Does stop frizz although I have always used it with conditioner. I usually wash my hair every second or third ado and still no frizz.

Best haircare! Loreal Smooth intense shampoo

On my first wash, as i rinsed out the shampoo i could already feel a difference my hair felt smooth! It also cleans my hair way better than what i was previously using! It definitely does what it says its guna do. Mixed with the smooth intense conditioner it works amazing and does leave my hair frizz free and smooth it even stayed straight and shiny/smooth on a night out in the cold. Im not sure if theres a bigger bottle but i would definitely use this if there is a bigger size.

Tips: Dont wash the conditioner out completely just give it a quick rinse and thats it. Leaves a more shinier moisturised feeling and look. (I do that no matter what product im using)

No False Adverstising here

I loved this product, it did exactly what it said it would on the bottle, it nourished my hair and calmed the frizz giving it lasting smoothness. I used the shampoo in conjunction with the conditioner and could not have been happier with the result. The shampoo itself is clear and of a light consistency, runny enough that you need to keep the bottle stored with the lid at the top or it could get messy. It is easy to apply, smells delightful and you only need a small amount to produce a good lather and for your hair to feel nice and clean, making it a very economic choice compared to some other supermarket brands. I have lots of fine flyaway shoulder length curly hair, when I just used the shampoo and conditioner with no other additional product and left my hair to air dry it felt soft and shiny and I was impressed at the control over the curls which have a tendency to go a little frizzy at the ends, with this product this was minimal. Brushing my hair while wet and leaving it to air dry had even better results with the smoothest result I have ever achieved without the use of additional styling creams. When straightening my hair I did use an additional argan oil product to aid with styling but once again the results were fantastic with fewer fly aways and a great smooth result that lasted until the next wash. The packaging is spot on, not too bulky, clearly labelled and in an appealing colour. After using this product for the duration of the trial I am hooked, my hair feels, looks and smells amazing, I would happily recommend this product to a friend and particularly anyone with a similar hair type to mine. Great job L’oreal, this product is a definite winner in my book.

Tips: When straightening my hair I used an argan oil cream just to help with the heat protection and softness of my hair.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense

Great product. I washed and let my hair dry naturally it was less frizzy than it usually is. It also left my hair smelling delish! Will definitely be buying this product again.

Meh, not overlyyyy impressed.

My hair is thick thick thick, and boofy/frizzy. Sadly, this product didn't leave my fro feeling nourished and it didn't calm my frizzys either. I have since bought a different L'oreal Paris Elvive shampoo/conditioner and that one did improve the condition of my hair mildly so I think this one just wasn't right for my hair type, despite me thinking it would be perfect. I think I was hoping for a miracle product lol. I love the packaging - looks classy. And the scent is nice too :)

Rather good

I have long, fine, dark hair with damaged ends & roots that are oily by the next day. Sigh. My hair is lucky if It gets styled every 3months as I'm more of a clean & go kinda girl & the plain jane style is my go to. I rarely buy supermarket products for my hair as I prefer to be a tad snobby & use well known salon brands. All in all I must say I am rather impressed with L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo. It gave my hair a good clean without leaving it feeling like straw after rinsing out the shampoo. It gave me the sense that it was nourishing enough not to dry my hair out but also cleansing as my roots had some volume once air dried. I like the idea that it has heat protectant qualities in the products, I'm not sure if it does work as I think it would take a lot of repetitive use & heat styling to test it. I liked this product along with the conditioner and will be taking it with me into defence force training as I trust it to clean with out drying my hair out when used on a daily basis plus its great value.

Decent shampoo for frizzy hair!

This shampoo is designed to smooth frizzy hair and mostly did just that. By itself the shampoo was okay, but worked extremely well when paired with the Smooth Intense Conditioner as well. Overall I would most certainly buy the pair again as they worked great for my hair!

Tips: Use with the Conditioner.

Unfortunate Hair Colour

This shampoo definitely does what it says it should and my hair had little frizz. BUT unfortunately I am blonde and due to it's argon oil formula it turned my hair a lovely shade of ginger. It also dried my hair out which was very confusing since it did manage my frizz, my hair was straw like and not my soft hair I usually have.

Tips: Do not use if you have blonde or lighter hair.
