L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

It wasn’t the best I didn’t notice any change in my dry and damaged hair whilist using this range.

Smells nice and lathers up well makes your hair feel clean but fails to deliver results.

Tried this product and it made my hair dry and brittle, Definatly not for those with thick wavy hair. The smell is amazing but it just didnt cut it.

I tried this thinking that because its L'Oreal (and Im worth it LOL) it would be great But alas, this product did not do anything it said it would abet maybe cleaned it My hair is bleached to be fair but I thought it would at least make my hair feel softer :(

I brought this in hopes it would a) help my hair get to a better condition b)make it feel silkier

It did not help either of this. If anything I found it actually dried out my hair. I have since had to stop using this and continue to try and find an affordable shampoo and conditioner. Wouldn't recommend this at all!

It does smell good though!

My mum bought this and the conditioner, I thought I would like this because L'oreal is a well known brand.

This - to me, is really, really average. It does smell nice and your hair smells nice for a day or two after, but it didn't do anything extraordinary to my hair.

I used this solidly for just over a month and my hair felt slightly dry. It was shiny but not as shiny as usual, it had pretty bad flyways but was easy to brush.

I didn't really feel this lived up to all of the claims that it said it would and for that reason I wouldn't repurchase it. I feel there are better, cheaper options that my hair likes better.

I had quite high hopes for this since I have used a few Elvive products before which were fairly good. The good thing to note about the shampoo was it had a really good smell. Unfortunately when it began to lather up and become extremely soapy I knew this was not going to end well. It definitely cleans your hair, to the point of stripping it, but no restoration whatsoever. My hair was left very stringy and squeaky. This shampoo definitely cannot be used without a conditioner as well judging by the way my hair felt afterwards.

I can't keep using this, I wanted to give it the full review time to see if it worked. It's just not working for me at all.

Lets start with the amount of colour wash out, I have a gorgeous tulip colour through my hair and it is washing away so quickly, it's turning yellow! No thanks!! My hair gets so rough and matted when I wash it with the shampoo, I feel like it is doing damage, not repairing it. If I didn't use conditioner I think my hair would snap off.

Well fortunately I'm really pleased I didn't waste my money on this product. In my opinion this shampoo made my hair feel thick and heavy like straw. I feel it didn't leave my hair feeling restored or repaired but it appeared to be left more damaged then before using it. The consistency of this is a mixture of watery and creamy and you don't need to squeeze the bottle too much before the product comes out . It is easy to apply like every other shampoo but found for it to be more effective on thicker hair I needed to divide my hair in half and wash both sides separately to ensure it was fully covered and cleaned to my liking. The smell of this is very delightful with a light hint of floral that last between 4- 6 hrs maximum as I have a busy lifestyle chasing four children. I felt I needed to quite a bit for total coverage but this didn't bother me too much as I do use a bit with other shampoos also. This product is economical and would defiantly suit families or couples and could last for up to a month if used sparingly. It is in expensive and can be accessed a most supermarkets and my local dairy has this in stock for $5.99 . The packaging is simple but clear of what it hopes to achieve and the back clearly labels the ingredients and states that it should leave your hair feeling restored, stronger, vitality, silky to touch and leave a healthy shine. It has a secure lid that clips firmly. The end results for me after using this product my hair was made to feel heavy, thick like straw but did leave it shiny which is an upside to it as I have a lot of damage from chemical bleaching etc but am finally growing my hair back to a naturally healthy. In all honesty I probably would not recommend this product to others due to how my results but I will leave it on a positive note. Even though this may have not worked for me it may work fantastically on another person's hair. So I'd recommend you buy it and try it for yourself and then you can be the judge of it.

I have thick hair which I straighten daily and also colour so it is very dry and needs a lot of moisture. I liked the packaging of this product and loved the smell but I didnt feel it lived up to any of its promises.

My hair felt very straw like after using it and the only added shine I noticed was from the conditioner, not the shampoo. It also made my scalp itch and feel very dry/irritated. Would not repurchase.

I was quite excitied to recieve the shampoo as since my daughter was born my hair has been herendous! The consistancy was nice but the smell was nothing great. After washing out the shampoo (over a 2week trial) i always found it left my hair stripped. It felt more dry and fragile.
