L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Instant Miracle Review

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 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 love this! The consistency is great, not too thick and easily spread through your hair. I love the smell, it's got a sweet smell which is not all florally. As I've got long hair I do tend to use a decent amount to make sure that I get all the ends covered well. I only use this once a week which seems to be enough to keep my hair in good condition. I think that it's probably still light enough that you could use it more often without any issues. I find it economical using it once a week, it may not be as economical using it all the time though. I would say it's definitely worth the money and just as good as some of the salon brands. What I really like about it is that you don't need to towel dry your hair first before putting it on as a treatment, it can just be part of your shower routine. The packaging is pretty good too and is soft enough that squeezing out the last drops isn't too much of an issue. I get great results with using this and they certainly improved again when I used it with the shampoo. I would definitely recommend it to friends and those that have used it as well, love it too.

I absolutely love this product ! I have used it three times already and already my hair is feeling softer and more manageable than it was before. I have quite curly, unruly hair so this is a really good thing. I absolutely love the fact that I can rinse it out straight away and I don't have to wait five minutes for it to work.

For the price and the results from using this product I will definitely be repurchasing this product again. It is also good that this product is very accessible as you can place into your groceries or purchase from your local Pharmacy.

Another positive is that it has an amazing smell and it does not leave your hair stringy or knotty after using.

I absolutely adore this product, I've been using it almost every time I wash my hair for the last month or so and people always tell me how soft my hair is (which is a litle weird but mostly nice). It's not too goopy so it gets good coverage and it leaves your hair smelling amazing. It instantly makes your hair feel softer and I have aggressively bleached hair so its a bit of a miracle. I can't imagine myself stopping using this any time soon, well worth a buy.

I have quite damaged, coloured hair which is incredibly prone to split ends. While I've been using the shampoo and conditioner from the Total Repair range, I had been feeling that the conditioner wasn't providing the full nourishment my ends needed, so I was really excited to give this a go.

I really like the scent of the treatment, which complements the shampoo and conditioner - feminine, slightly floral but not overpowering, salon-friendly scent. The consistency of the formula itself is similar to a conditioner, more a lotion than the cream form that many treatments come in, so initially I was skeptical that this would be nourishing enough.

I applied this as directed after shampooing and conditioning. I've tried using it on solely my roots and also my lengths/ends alone, and prefer to use it just on my lengths as I tend to have oilier roots. I've also washed this straight out after applying as directed, and kept on a little longer and they both had the same effect. Soft, healthy-looking hair that was silky and shiny!

Recently I also used an at-home hair colour remover and after the final rinse it was feeling like straw but I ran this through my hair and instantly it really did feel stronger and moisturised - I couldn't even tell after I dried it that it had previously been feeling so dry!

Huge fan of this treatment and I will definately repurchase, highly recommend for anyone wanting a good conditioning treatment.

So I have long, thick, coloured hair. I was very eager to try this product, as I have tried many and had very disappointing results. The package is appealing and the smell is very much like you've just walked out of the salon. I used my normal shampoo and conditioner, which is tresemme-moisture rich. Then I applied the instant repair to my roots and to my very dry, split ends. I left in for a minute and the rinsed. I brushed my hair and my brush just went straight through my hair, which normally would take me awhile to brush. Once dry my hair felt silky and smooth. It was do light and easy care-free. I thought I'd see how long it would last being soft and silky, so I didn't wash my hair for 4days then on the 5th day I straightened it and it was honestly the nicest my hair has looked. Having long hair it's hard to keep it clean and soft/silky looking, not any more. Since then I've used it every time after washing my hair. Had so many compliments. Will be buying this again for sure.

Personally, I have EXTREMELY dry, damaged and dull hair not to mention weak. It lacks shine, and if I’m lucky, it’s silky to the touch on some days. This product claims that in just 60 seconds, it makes your hair strong, fuller looking, revitalized, silky and shiny,

When I tried this for the first time, the consistency of this was the same as a shampoo. It is quite creamy, but not thick like what I originally thought. The fragrance... I’m not a fan of it.

At first, I was a bit skeptical about doing all that it claims in just 60 seconds so I left it on while I was in the shower and rinsed out just before I finished. Does it do what it claims to do? YES. I was SO amazed. My hair felt much silkier. I've used this everyday for 2 weeks and gradually, I have noticed that my hair has become stronger, silkier, revitalised, fuller and most definitely more shiny looking. About half way through this trail, I dyed my hair. Having naturally black Asian hair means that when I lighten it, I need lots of bleach. My ends became a bit damaged; however, the rest wasn't as damaged as I expected it be. Its been about a week since I lightened my hair, and I have been using this treatment like crazy, and yes, my hair is much stronger.

The product also claims that this works in 60 seconds. There are days where I would apply this, wash my body and rinse off instead of leaving it last. Not sure if its 60 seconds, but the result is the same as when I leave it in longer! :D

Would I repurchase? Yes. Most definitely Would I recommend it to a friend? Oh yes. Most definitely.

I must admit i was a bit nervous to use this product as i'm very basic with my hair care, but i'm oh so happy i did use it! It says that it instantly starts absorbing as you apply it and it does! I love this because i can feel it doing its thing and i don't feel like i'm wasting the product. It was a nice thick consistency, but not too think to make my hair feel heavy. It had a nice scent - not too overpowering. When i was washing it out my hair was sooooo smooth! It dried really well and i was very impressed. I recommended this to a friend and she loved it too! There is nothing i would change about this product, and i would definately buy it again!

I got this trial and was (naturally) ecstatic and excited, regardless of the fact that I really wasn't entirely sure what my product was supposed to do.

So when it arrived, I was happy to see that it wasn't some complicated cream that had to be applied to hair half towel dried-half dried in the sun only if it was at least 21 degrees with a slight nor west breeze.

The instructions were simple: apply to washed hair for 60 seconds, then rinse out.

Suspected must have been a joke.

Spoiler alert: it was not a joke.

So after lovingly washing my hair with some shampoo and conditioner that claims to do all sorts of magic to my faux blonde hair, I gave this new goo a go.

Firstly, it’s a nice light pinky/peach colour. Secondly, I could detect no scent. Thirdly, once thoroughly applied, there was nothing left for me to do but rinse out.

That, ladies and gen-other just ladies, is when I noticed it.

My hair was rinsing differently. Differently in a good way.

I gently brushed it lightly in preparation of the dreaded 40 minute blow dry that was coming up. The combing, in fact, went much smoother than usual.

Suspiciously, I continued on with my routine to then blow dry my hair. Having so much of it, I divide it in two and take turns to blow dry each section.

Warily, I noticed this too was easier – hair was not blowing around into teased, unmanageable knots.

And interestingly, it also cut down on my blow dry time (by about 10 minutes).

The real cherry on the top for me was then NOT having to put in some extra product after all this malarkey had been done. You know, to really sort things out for the next 2 days until I had to go through the whole process all over again.

I can honestly and without hesitation say that the next time I used this, it went exactly the same. While this is not my Perfect Hair Product, and there may never be one, this is 100% fabulous – it made my hair feel healthier and amazingly easier to manage too.

This will last many washes, and just look at that price up there? Are you kidding? No excuse not to try it and write your own review too. xo
