L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

Im using this product at the moment an i have used many different products before cause my hairs fine but lots of it I cant use anything to heavy an this product seems to be going really good so far. My hair was quite dry an limp for a while but its feeling much better an has volume to it so im happy as :)

The smell of this product first caught my attention, it smells amazing and almost like the salon. On the first few washes I used the shampoo along with my normal super market conditioner and I noticed a smoothness to the ends of my hair (wear all of the breakage is) and it was left silky all over. I also noticed the shampoo made my hair look fuller, it didn't feel a lot fuller but it looked it which was nice. On the 4th wash I had purchased the Loreal Elvive treatment also and used this too. The too products combined left my hair feeling amazing. It did all it was promised and my hair definitely had a healthy shine. I do however straighten my hair regularly so I think for someone who doesn't use heat on their hair it would be revitalized and feel stronger a lot faster and find it more effective.

I would definately use this product again! I'm sooo addicted to products that smell amazing and this one definately does! My hair was soo smooth and almost felt slippery after using it and blowdrying, which is what I like :)

It really made my hair feel so soft, the scent is so divine but it made my scalp itch. It is not really the shampoo's fault as my scalp is just so sensitive to everything, it is really hard to find something which wouldn't make me itch, I'm kind of used to it and just ignore it. However it didn't cause me dandruff and it's a good thing. It's a decent shampoo with a lovely scent to it, but don't expect miracles.

The shampoo did what it said it would. Stronger, fuller, shinier, healthier hair. For a supermarket shampoo, it's top class! Made my thick, long hair easier to manage. Would use again!

I loved the easy to open bottle, great to use in the shower. It smelt great too. I found I only needed a small amount so it goes a long way. After using it, my hair felt clean but not 'stripped'. I still needed to use a conditioner but with just using the shampoo, i could get a comb through my hair. So overall, I was very satisfied with the shampoo. I did however use it alongside the conditioner and together I felt my hair was stronger, shiner and thicker - it had more omph! lol

I have very dry hair and I put lots of products in it to tame the frizziness so a good shampoo that gets rid of all the buildup without drying out my hair is important for me. I am on the fence with the packaging, it looks cheap but it's not too bad. I think if they simplified it and put less stuff on the bottle it would be better. I also prefer bottles that are more squeezy and flexible so you can get every last drop out of the bottle. The smell is nice, nothing special, just normal shampoo smell. I like it. However when I put the shampoo on my hair it feels amazing! It lathers up so much and feels very very moisturising, especially for a shampoo. But it also feels very cleansing and my hair feels very clean after but not dried out. Another good thing is that my hair does not go yuck and tangled after I rinse it out! I am very happy with this shampoo. I have been using it with the conditioner for a little over a week and my hair feels soft. One annoying thing however is that it seems to kill the curls in my hair, normally when my hair dries naturally it goes wavy curly but after using this it just goes wavy and not as curly. To get over this I use curling products so it is not a big issue.

I have been doing all kinds of crazy things with my hair for a long time....so naturally its not in the best condition. I have used Elvive (the red bottles) years ago and was alway impressed but after having to strip the red out of my hair, I needed something with a bit more power. Packaging - Plain, simple and effective! I actually like the white with the red/gold ish design all over it.

Smell - Very pleasant....not the best I have smelt and not the worst. This isn't of importance to me.

Lathering - I condition my hair first (to help keep my vibrant colour lasting longer) and then when I put the shampoo in, I found it didn't lather to much which was great! I find it otherwise dries my hair out way to much.

What it claims: 1. Feeling stronger. - After doing 4 washes now with this, I will say that my hair doesn't seem to be snapping as much.

2. Looking fuller. - Cant say I have noticed it looking any fuller, but this is also not something I am looking for.

3. Looking revitalised.- Yes looks sooo much healthier now and have a better shine to it!

4. Silkier to touch. - Working with the conditioner as a team - 100% increase....I try to look after my hair so I will quite likely get this and continue to use it in turn with my treatments.

5. With a healthier shine. - Once I straighten it there seems to be a little bit more of a shine then normal!

All in all I am well impressed with this product and will consider seriously to purchase again as I am loving how my hair is now :)

I really really like this shampoo. It foams up into a super creamy lather and leaves my hair feeling soft but not at all greasy. It smells good too, but the scent is not overpowering. My hair definitely felt stronger and looked shinier after using this and in combination with the conditioner it was so silky and manageable.

For reference, my hair is fine and thin and fairly heat damaged as I blow dry and straighten it every day.

My hair was quite brittle and dry prior to using the Total Repair 5 Shampoo, and I noticed a change straight away, my hair used to get quite tangled and hard to manage and now my fingers run through it. The shampoo smells delicious and I love the consistency. A small amount goes a long way and I have also noticed less and less breakage when combing my hair post washing. I love it!
