L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Instant Miracle Review

My friend gave me this product recently. I've only used it once and my hair felt amazing again. My hair felt like hay before and only after using it once and I love it already.

I am in love with this product!! My hair is very damaged as I colour and lighten my hair very frequently and so far this is the definitely most effective product I’ve tried for its tiny price. I use it every time I shampoo/condition my hair, and the deep moisturising formula leaves my hair so soft and silky for days. Using this product also means I have to wash my hair less which is fantastic as I use semi-permanent hair colour which fades every time I wash it, so now my hair colour lasts longer. I love the scent which lingers in my hair for at least a day after rinsing it out, and makes the product seem far more expensive than it is. It works really quickly in just a few minutes in the shower, and I noticed a significant change in the softness of my hair from the first use. The formula was more watery and less creamy than I was expecting, which makes it easy to use but also easy to waste so watch out for that. It lasts me a long time too, I use one 200ml bottle for every two bottles of conditioner on my very long hair, so it’s incredibly good value and the packaging means you can get every last drop out. I’m always a little cautious with treatments as I have sensitive skin but I have had no problems with this product. I recommended this product to my friend who also colours her hair frequently and she loves it too so I definitely recommend that you try it out- I’ll be using this one for a long time to come!

My hair is quite fine and has been really dry lately so I've been looking for something to combat this. I've stopped heat styling so often and have been extra gentle with brushing, but still felt my hair needed a little extra help. I've been using this product for over a week and have noticed improvement in the overall quality of my hair. It's less dry, less prone to knots and tangling and much easier to manage. It even has improved shine - where before it looked dull, boring and lifeless. I've been using this 2-3 times a week following my regular shampoo and conditioner routine and am happy with the results. The texture of the creme is very silky and applied generously (about a 50c piece size in the palm of the hand) works well on med-long hair. It's easy to massage into the hair and like a conditioner, doesn't lather. It also works quickly, with no 2-3 minute annoying wait times. I like that it's packaged in an 'upside-down' bottle too - it makes it easy to quickly grab as much as you need in comparison with having to open a jar like some treatments. At only $9 I've found this an extremely affordable way to give my hair a bit of extra TLC and although isn't quite as effective as salon treatments I would recommend to anyone who's hair needs a regular (and affordable!) boost.
