L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

Smells nice, cleans your hair well, I wouldn't say that it 'repairs' damaged hair though unfortunately. Its a good cheap affordable supermarket shampoo, you get what you pay for though.

A lovely bottle that says buy me, reads well full of good things that restore and make your hair fuller shiner helps brittle ends, so I was quite excited to try this shampoo, smells so yummy. It lathered up a treat but I could tell that it irritated my scalp and my hair didn't like it, so no intense repairing for my hair it actually felt like I needed to wash my hair after I had used it, I did try it a couple of times and got the same result. So not for me but another one for my girlfriend.

I did not have a great experience with this shampoo like i would have hoped. It smells so delicious but itmleft my hair feeling dry and stringy, and my hair still went all fuzzy. Feeling a bit let down.

After reading the blurb of total repair 5 i thought this would be exactly what my hair needed to bring it back to life, sadly i was wrong

using total repair 5 i felt like i needed quite alot of product to even get a foamy consistency, which is weird because regular shampoos foam up so easily, i felt it made my hair feel a little dry than normal, the smell however is quite nice

i wouldnt say the bottle would last very long on longer hair as i have shoulder length and iv been thru 3/4 of the bottle in 2 weeks, maybe thats due to the fact you need quite abit of product

the packaging is nice and simple with clear words on what its suppose to do, price range i think its a little expensive

all in all i wouldn't say id re purchase as it didn't live upto my standards sadly

I liked this shampoo it made my hair feel fresh and clean and has a nice smell. I do bleach my hair every 4 months and have been using saloon hair care which is very expensive so was looking forward to finding a cheaper option for my hair. I did find after a few weeks use my hair was starting to dry out again so had to go back to saloon shampoo.But I have to say it was a lot nicer on my hair than other supermarket brands.

I have trialled this shampoo in combination with the condition for 3 weeks. I must add that I only wash my hair every 5-6 days so I am talking 4 washes in total. I have had some concerns about the condition of my hair recently so jumped at the chance to trial this product. It smells nice and the shampoo lathers up really well. My hair did feel soft after rinsing all the product out. However, any longterm improvement appears to have eluded my hair.While it is no worse there appears to be little noticeable improvements in either hair strength, fullness or condition. I am assuming this may come with longer term use so am happy to contiue to finish the bottle

So ive taken a long time to trial this product and review it. This was a hard one to judge. I received the shampoo and was so excited to try as my hair is severely damaged from bleach. I loved the dull smell it had and the smooth creamy texture of the shampoo. It felt lovely spreading through! My hair went instantly silky (which is unusual for me as I always have to condition straight after to get silky hair with no knots), my hair felt great and had abit of life coming back. So the first few washes went well. Then about a week after i started using it, it all changed. Did the normal wash but when washed it out instead of silky smooth hair I had matted knots and more breakage than normal. When my hair dried it felt like horse hair. It was nearly impossible to put a brush through. I did nothing different and the only product I was using in conjunction with the shampoo was the matching conditioner. So I was very disappointed. I ended up getting some leave in spray to get the knots untangled. I tried brushing my hair in the shower and it matted back up as soon as I dried my hair. Im not particularly happy with the product myself and personally wont use it again. I hope its just because my hair is too damaged for it and that others had a good experience :)

I have been using the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo for about 3 weeks now, and I instantly fell in love with the floral smell of the shampoo. When I first saw this product I thought it might be quite good and I was certainly intrigued. I have damaged hair after straightening it a lot, with oily roots and dry ends, however after using the shampoo, my hair was left fluffy and felt like the same as before. The shampoo was really easy to lather well, but it simply did not live up to its claims. Apart from the fact that my hair did look a bit fuller, I feel that the shampoo didn’t strengthen my hair or make it any silkier or shinier. I don't really recommend the product for the fact that it basically doesn’t do what it says, however you can't really expect a product hat makes your hair gorgeous for a price like that.

This product is far to heavy for my hair after using it for a week, my hair was super oily and just felt thick and heavy. I've got very dry brittle hair from too much colouring so if your hair is anything like mine, you'd be better going for a different shampoo.

Loreal's a handy brand that can be found in most stores. I purchased this with a matching conditioner because I like pairing my products. My hair is coloured and quite damaged at the ends.

This bottle is white with Loreal labelling. I think it's style is outdated compared to other Loreal bottles. The lid on it wasn't very sturdy it broke easily leaving a crack through it. The texture of this is creamy soft and white with a slight shimmer flowing through it. It has a floral scent that's mild but refreshing.

When I washed my hair with it I did notice my colour coming out in the water with this. During cleaning my hair it lathered up nicely . Over a months use I haven't noticed any change in my dry hair.

The positives for me is that I don't have to go online for this. Two bottles last me over a month which is great because their not large in size. I probably wouldn't use this because there wasn't any significant changes to my hair.
