L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

After getting my hair coloured a few weeks ago it needed a bit of extra care. The ends were a wee bit dryer than usual.

The colours only in the ends so I paired this with the matching conditioner. I use this with conditioning treatments once a week also and these require me to shampoo condition as usual so it’s used everyday.

It’s good value for money - a larger bottle than my usual shampoos. It lathers quite well so I don’t need to use a lot. Grabbed mine for $5.99 which I think is reasonable.

It’s smell is beyond words. It’s delicious. Smells a lot like a salon shampoo outside it’s price range so am very happy. Not fruity more floral but it’s a hard one to describe. It’s a long lasting scent anyhow.

It’s lathers and rinses well, is not a heavy formula so I didn’t get product buildup. Left my hair light and clean.. not greasy thank goodness as my roots get greasy easily.

In terms of repair it’s hard to tell but my hair feels smoother and is more manageable so I’m guessing it’s worked to smooth the hair cuticles.

I would buy again. I like to mix up shampoos so am not loyal to one brand but would probably use this as one of my go to brands.

I love this restoring shampoo it was great when I used it on my dry and heat damaged hair, it made my hair feel healthier and has much more volume than before.

The first thing I noticed about this shampoo was it's lovely smell! It was very nice to lather in and embrace it's scent while getting ready for work and I was also pleasantly surprised at how soft my hair felt throughout the day! I need to tie my hair up for my job and even then, my hair at the end of the day would usually need a good brush to get rid of the knots. I couldn't get over how shiny and silky I found it this time around though :) my hair looks and feels somewhat healthier and I must say I am very impressed! I would definitely recommend this to a friend or family member who also tends to suffer from oily hair - it did the trick for me! :)

I am addicted to the smell, I love it soooo much. The product in itself was alright.I wasn't expecting miracles but it could of done more :)

I like this product. I buy it if its on sale only though as Im not loyal to a brand I just get whatever's on sale for damaged hair. I like the smell and it doesn't dry my hair.

I love this, the smell is amazing. It makes my hair shiny and strong. Such a good quality shampoo for the price!

This is a great substitute for salon shampoo as its a lot cheaper and does a good job, it has a beautiful fruity scent and nice thick/creamy, after one wash my hair was not as frizzy and felt nice and smooth, the more you use this the better your hair gets, it does do what it says, great product for a fantastic price!

Well this is definitely a different report from me compared to the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Conditioner that I reviewed.

First of all the container stands the correct way up (unlike the conditioner) and it had a lovely appley smell that I liked and smelled delish. It was a lovely thicker consistency which made it easy to use. I didn't have to use much for it to lather up heaps so this would definitely make it cost effective. It also washed out making my hair feel really squeaky clean without my hair turning into a dry birds nest! My hair felt silky and looked lovely afterwards.

Overall this is a nice shampoo, but nothing special! I do like it, but it hasn't become my holy grail or anything. This shampoo cleaned my hair and it did feel nice, but I doubt my hair would've felt that soft if I had not also used conditioner. I noticed no difference in amount of split ends, but the product does smell great and If i had used for a longer amount of time, I may have seen more of a difference. My hair felt fuller but still lacked the volume i am desperately seeking
