L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Colour-Protect Shampoo & Conditioner

I bought some of this colour protect shampoo and its partner conditioner when they were on sale. The bottle is very attractive and the L'oreal Paris seemed a good brand but I have to say I was disappointed. My hair did;t feel as smooth and silky as it does with my current brand and whilst I wouldn't say the colour deteriorated any quicker with this product it just isn't one I would buy again. Sorry :(

To be totally honest, l would never have bought this, myself. My Mum gave it to me so I used it, but never again. The conditioner is relatively good, in that your hair is detangled, but the organics i use feel far better and do a better job. The shampoo contains sls (sodium laureth/lauryl sulphate) which us a cheap foaming agent which dehydrates your scalp and hair. It left my hair frizzy and annoying, and the roots greasy. I didn't find the colouur lasted any longer, but to be fair, I only used the one lot before I went back to organic, simply because it leaves my hair softer, shinier, less tangled and generally looking better while not dehydrating my hair and scalp.

I tend to swap and change my conditioners and this is one I use every now and again, I think for a supermarket brand its great, smells lovely and leaves my hair nice and soft, doesnt seem to leave any residue however I only apply it to the ends. I think for the price this is a great product.

I really enjoy using Elvive colour-protect shampoo and conditioner, my hair always feels great after using it and I love the fragrance it has too.

I have used this quite a bit in the past and like it as much as some of the more expensive hair care products I have tried. Found it to detangle really well.

I've tried all of the L'Oreal supermarket ranges and this one is the best. It left my hair clean, soft and silky and helped keep the colour nice and vibrant as well. Not too heavy which is a must and the conditioner is thick and rich. The smell is inoffensive and you really can't go wrong with the price.

It made my hair silky smooth, but often made it greasy within 24 hours of washing, which isn't normal with my hair when I use other shampoos and conditioners. I have to switch shampoos every few bottles, but I found that I had to use a different product the very moment I finished my first bottle.

I found this product to be a really good alternative to my much loved but far too expensive salon shampoo and conditioner. It left my hair glossy and shiny, and protected the colour nicely. Would definitely use again if I were to colour my hair.

Used this for about 3 weeks and the first 2 washes were divine and I was finally happy I had found a more affordable drug store/supermarket alternative to Kerastase. Wasn't till about a week and a half in I noticed that after drying my hair it still felt greasy/had residue on it. Not too sure whether the formula was coating my hair in the same sense Pantene does due to its paraben but this didn't sit with me and did nothing for me but flatten out my hair and dry it out even more. May the next line the power cosmetic house bring out be a whole step up from this.

Smells great, did exactly what it stats, but does not suit oily hair. Such a shame as I dye my hair, and have oily hair too!
