L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Conditioner Review

Similar to the shampoo, I really loved the smell of this conditioner. It smelt salon fresh but I couldn’t quite put my finger on the combination of smells I was getting, but whatever it was smelt good. The packaging was just like the shampoo except the bottle was the other way around. It looked good quality except I didn’t like the colour red just as a personal preference. The standard shape and size of the bottle was nothing new but it worked well and it was easy to pour out the conditioner into the palm of my hand. It felt very silky on my hands and looked similar to the shampoo consistency – white and creamy, except a little silkier. Putting this on after the shampoo (which has stripped my hair and made it feel quite rough) made it nice and smooth and silky and easier to run my fingers through my hair.

My hair is quite damaged with lots of split ends so after using the conditioner (with the shampoo) I noticed results and my hair was looking a lot healthier – especially the ends seemed to be repairing. The conditioner made my hair feel extra silky smooth and shiny with minimal fly aways but it did feel a bit thin rather than make it look fuller which it promised to do.

As with the shampoo I am overall really pleased with the conditioner and the results it has given. I would definitely use it again and recommend to friends if they were seeking advice on what to buy.

Again, I have curly, frizzy, oily, heavily heat damaged hair.

I used this in addition to the elvive total repair shampoo. It had a nice silky consistency and smells fantastic. And that's pretty much where my praise ends.

I had to condition my hair twice! It felt ok while I was in the shower. After I towel dried my hair, it was so matted and dry that I had to comb through a serum in my hair!!!!

I'm not sure if it was a combination of both products that my hair didn't take to kindly to but I probably won't be purchasing this conditioner again.

Totally didn't do what it said it would and I used it consecutively for 3weeks. I didn't notice strengthened hair at all. I was really disappointed, sad to say

This is one of two supermarket brand conditioners that I have really liked. I found that it does do what it says I will. It has repaired some of my hairs damage from using a bleaching product, making it feel stronger and softer. The smell is nothing special but it subtle so surely wouldn't irritate anyone. Compared to other conditioners at the same price I think that this one is impressive.

After shampooing my hair i am left with clean but extremely knotty hair. this product left my hair feeling soft, smooth and gave it a great shine, it also smells amazing. the product was easy to spread through out my hair but i did find i needed to use quite a bit of it, i also noticed that when i squeezed it out every time too much product would come out causing some to go to waste, overall for the affordable price you cant go wrong, definitely one of the best drug store conditioners i have used

I have been using this conditioner for about three weeks now and although I do like it, its not the best damage control conditioner I have used. My hair is quite dry and coarse, especially the ends, because I used to blow dry my hair a lot which damaged my hair.

I didn't think much of this product when I first started using it. It was decent enough, but didn't help with the dryness in my hair. But as I continued to use the product more throughout the weeks I began to notice a change in my hair. I have been using this conditioner, as well as the shampoo, twice a week for three weeks. My hair has become softer, less coarse and silkier to touch. My hair is looking healthier and has a bit of shine to it, but I haven't yet noticed a difference to the strength of my hair. I usually use argan oil in my hair while its damp, but have stopped to test out the conditioner. I have found that the conditioner doesn't give the results I get from argan oi, but I expect that over time it will improve the condition of my hair.

The smell is very delicate and fresh, and the conditioner is easy to spread making it easy apply to your wet hair. The texture is very smooth and silky, what you would expect from a normal conditioner, and the consistency is a bit on the runny side. Overall, I enjoyed using this product and although its not the best conditioner I have used, I think its really good. I have noticed a change in my hair once I have been using the product for a while, and I would recommend this to anyone that has dry hair. The price of this product is really good and you get a decent sized bottle.

This done everything it said it would and gave longerl llasting results over any other conditioner that I have used. It left my hair feeling and looking it's most healthiest in years, used along side total 5 restoring shampoo is one of the best hair repair products out on the market today

The packaging and smell are nice, but that's pretty much the only good things I have to say about this product. It's not that it's bad, it's just that for all the hype, and the whole Product Of The Year thing, but it just wasn't that great.

I have quite dry ends, and I've been told by my hairdresser that a way to tell if your hair is dry or your conditioner is not hydrating enough is that the ends of your hair will be quite dry as soon as you get out of the shower. I usually use the Longer and Stronger by Sunsilk, which is quite a thick formula and does a good job of keeping my hair hydrated. This, however, was very thin (thinner than I like a conditioner to be) and when I got out of the shower, my hair was drying out already. I tried this with and without using leave-in conditioner. With leave-in conditioner, my hair was manageable but still a teeny bit dry feeling; without it, my hair looked and felt horrible. It was dry and frizzy and honestly looked/felt like I had not used conditioner at all. For an apparently "restoring" conditioner, it wasn't very nourishing.

The conditioner was of a thicker consistency than I am used to and as a result was easy to apply and soon encompassed my thick hair making it silky smooth. Both the shampoo and conditioner had a pleasant smell. The conditioner also felt slightly thicker than usual and was easy to use leaving my hair sleek and easy to comb afterwards. My hair was shiny and full of body after using this product and it is usually quite limp because it is so thick and heavy so I would certainly recommend this product to others.

The scent is to die for and stays in your hair for a long time.

When it comes to performance this conditioner did not do the best. It did not leave my hair feeling soft if anything it were more dry.

I am still using this product so review may change

I have my hair lightened every 4 to 5 weeks so its always in need of a little tlc. I usually use a salon exclusive brand so was excited to try a mainstream product.

The packaging was appealing, I liked the little gold detail on the label giving it a bit more lux than your average mainstream product. Also the shape of the bottle felt good to hold and was easy to squeeze.

The scent was lovely, not too floral or sweet and not too overpowering. I really liked the way the conditioner had a softer scent than the shampoo.

It felt nice and silky in my hair and left my hair feeling soft. My hair had a nice finish to it once it was dry, even when I blow dried it- it was left nice and shiny.

but to be honest I never noticed any major difference to my hair but maybe that was because I usually use a very good product anyway? In saying that I also never noticed the condition of my hair get any worse so it kept up pretty well.
