L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour-Protect Shampoo & Conditioner

I love this stuff! Will Definatly be buying again! It made my hair feel so nice and de-knotted it while i was in the shower aswell as made it so much easier to brush! My hair loved this stuff!! Not too sure on the colour protectness though, my colour still seemed to run, more than usual actually.

For a supermarket colour protect range this sure is close to professional! The smell is refreshing and addictive, you don't have to use a lot of shampoo or conditioner to cleanse your hair. The bottles have a nice clean cut shape and great that they come in 250ml rather than 200ml like most others and for the price it does a pretty good job at holding your colour, but I really think it all depends on each individual :)

Shampoo

I really liked this product, to test this out my hair had recently been streaked blonde which does usually tend to fade out nicely as it grows.

This product had a nice consistency wasn't too liquidy and lathered up nicely. I only needed a small amount of this product. This shampoo combined with the conditioner left my hair smooth and easy to brush.

The packaging was nice and sleek and looks lovely in my shower, the lid is easy to open. This product smells amazing and very much like a salon shampoo, the scent also lasts through to when my hair is dry.

I don't think this shampoo fully protected my colour but it hasn't faded as much as when I use other shampoos.

Conditioner

I really liked this product, to test this out my hair had recently been streaked blonde which does usually tend to fade out nicely as it grows.

This product had a nice thick consistency which was great to leave on my hair for a few minutes without dripping off. I only needed a small amount of this product. This conditioner left my hair smooth and easy to brush. It also left my hair feeling lightweight and not weighed down.

The packaging was nice and sleek and looks lovely in my shower, the lid is easy to open. This product smells amazing and very much like a salon conditioner, the scent also lasts through to when my hair is dry.

I don't think this conditioner fully protected my colour but it hasn't faded as much as when I use other shampoos and conditioners do.

If you are wanting to protect your coloured hair but are not wanting to fork out the mega bucks for the fancy shampoos and conditioners' from the salons, then this shampoo & conditioner is for you! It leaves your hair feeling nourished, without over greasing it. It is not too liquidy so you only need a small dab (therefore it lasts quite a while too!). My go-to shampoo and conditioner all the time!

This product did not work for me. The smell was nice but I didn't find it worked well. It took two tries before I could get a lather up and left my hair feeling oily and not clean. After several uses my hair follicles were getting infected and I had little red bumps everywhere. Definitely not suited to everyone I wouldn't buy again.

I got this shampoo and conditioner in preparation for the Loreal hair colour trial that I was picked by BR for. I thought I would really give the colour the best conditions and use a colour protect shampoo. I had perviously used the Arganine resist shampoo and conditioner from this range and really liked them. Unfortunately this one not so much. I found it made my hair quite dry and straw like and it was quite unmanageable and frizzy when I had been using it for a few weeks. I wasn't even using this product solely once I had applied the colour to my hair as it was so dry and in need of moisture. However the shampoo and conditioner that I'm using at the moment are a bit too moisturising so I am using this every couple of weeks as a balance to the one thats too much. I really sould like I'm hard to please with this review but I've not been so fickle with shampoo and conditioner befoer I promise. In terms of the product its self its packaged well and it has the texture you would expect for each product and the both smell nice. Overall not a bad shampoo and conditioner it just doesn't quite meet the needs of my hair at the moment.

I was doing my normal spot of shopping at the super market and I was looking for some shampoo and conditioner that will lock in my colour and keep my hair colour looking good.

Both bottles come in a 250 mls. Both bright red bottles with the Loreal labelling on the front. These bottles are easy to open and close. The texture of this shampoo is like any normal liquid shampoo/conditioner. The scent of this smells really nice. I did find the shampoo easy to lather into my hair. It did wash my colour out with each wash. I did notice colour coming out in the water. The conditioner just glided through my hair. My hair feels soft and manageable.

Price wise I think they could be priced lower as you are getting only 250 mls in a bottle. Whereas you could get a 750 ml bottle of Tresseme for around the same price. Luckily I managed to get it for $4 per bottle. I wash my hair about two to three times a week.. My ends a quite dry. My colour is vibrant.

I love using hair products for colored hair. Salon products can be so expensive so i was glad when I came across this at the supermarket. First impressions is that it had a really nice smell and I liked the packaging. It left my hair feeling soft and looked shiny. I would use this product again however it has a lot of chemicals at the moment, and right now I am opting for natural hair products. On a positive note its a really good price and it did leave my hair feeling nice.

I have been using this set together for quite a while. Though I do find I buy 3 conditioners to 2 shampoos.

The shampoo and the conditioner are both white, creamy and lather up reasonably well.

I have found they sustain my colour better than any other shampoo I've tried in the same price range. While my hair feels miles cleaner and a little softer after using the conditioner, I've found I've had to use a hair serum afterwards to really make my hair feel softer and more hydrated.

I've also found that I go through them quite quickly, especially the conditioner.

I would keep using them until I found something better as they're currently the best products I've found, but they could be better.

Ok, so I recall using both these products twice. I love the fragrance as well as the formula for leaving my locks shiny and soft after dying my hair. I don't believe it helped my colour last longer, instead the colour lasted as it would when using normal shampoos. My hair was a lot more manageable and healthy looking when using these products.
