L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

Absolutely loved this shampoo! I've been looking for a shampoo that would make my dry unruly hair as soft as possible and I think this may just be the product! Not only did it make my hair soft, it also made it look shiny and healthy while lathering up really well.

I did not have a great experience with this shampoo like i would have hoped. It smells so delicious but itmleft my hair feeling dry and stringy, and my hair still went all fuzzy. Feeling a bit let down.

The shampoo did what it said it would. Stronger, fuller, shinier, healthier hair. For a supermarket shampoo, it's top class! Made my thick, long hair easier to manage. Would use again!

I have a tendancy to lean towards this brand and the packaging of this product appealed to me and appeared convincing, however i feel that this shampoo is false advertising! Hair care products need to stop claiming that they are capable of repairing split ends, i have yet to try one that actually is.

I can't figure out why but damaged hair is a problem for me, it gets dry, oily, frizzy, brittle and splits, i need something that works and this product doesn't! It cleans the hair just fine and has a nice smell but so does every other shampoo..

Although this shampoo didn't to anything wrong to my hair it did nothing good either. I was quite disappointed and this shampoo has slightly put me off this brand as i found it actually useless in improving damage.

This is my current go to product. I love everything about this shampoo it smells great and leaves my hair fresh and clean while also being soft and totally nourished.

I have really enjoyed using this product so far. I usually stick to Shampoo & Conditioner for coloured hair. This has proven to be a great way to give me heavy hair with dandruff flakes everywhere. With L'Oreal, I did not feel weighed down, no presenting dandruff and my hair felt amazing right from the first wash. The shampoo, I found to be very effective at cleaning my hair and making it feel fresh and properly cleansed. I didn't notice any colour washing down the drain like I have with other shampoos that have not been designed specifically for coloured hair. I just wish I had been chosen for the trail for the conditioning treatment too, I like continuity of hair care systems. Might just have to go purchase step 3!

Bonus - The smell is incredible!

I wanted to give this shampoo a fair trial as in try it for a few weeks before reviewing but after using it twice i simply can't bring myself to again.

First of all the bottle is nice to look at and the formula is nice and smooth and smells delicious! My hair smelt delicious the whole time until I had to wash it again.

However, For some reason for my hair this shampoo did the opposite to what it said it would. It felt like straw and my hair was very dry and stripped of all oils and shine. I was very upset and almost wanted to wash my hair with another product.

Now before you feel against this please note my hair is very chemically damaged from dying it for the last 6 Years so what didn't work for me May work for someone else.

Such a shame this shampoo wasn't for me as my hair smelt absoloutely Yum!

I am a bit picky when it comes to the Shampoos and Conditioners I like therefore I didn't have high hopes for this considering the low price tag. Unfortunately unlike the conditioner I wasn't amazed by this product.

First of all I loooove the scent of this range. It smells like a lovely expensive floral perfume and adore the smell it leaves lingering in my hair (the lingering scent doesn't last long, but, is lovely for the time it is there). The packaging is pretty standard but very functional and easy to get the product out of. One problem I have is the similarity of the conditioner and shampoo bottles, if your a ditz like me it can be easy to confuse the too haha.

This Shampoo lathers very easily so you don't need much at all. It doesn't leave my hair feeling totally stripped, but, doesn't leave it feeling hydrated, silkier, revitalized or any of the things it claims it will do. I do feel it cleans my scalp and hair well but is not nourishing like it sounds like it will be.

I wouldn't repurchase this again which is disappointing as I did like the matching conditioner and together they produce nice results but alone this shampoo isn't a favourite for me.

I am SO impressed with this Total Repair Duo!! The shampoo is in a good sized especially for the retail price and is easy to squeeze the desired amount into your hand.

I love the light scent and the way this foams ups so quickly. Rinses out quite easily and leaves my hair feeling really clean.

I definitely am loving using this along with the matching conditioner. My hair is SO soft!!!!! I noticed the change in my hair only after the second wash. It has a lovely shine and and it really manageable making straighting it really fast.

In was thinking of dying my hair again but since using this it really has given it a new life and no longer feel the need to colour my hair!

Its fair to say I'm loving it!!!!

This is a great substitute for salon shampoo as its a lot cheaper and does a good job, it has a beautiful fruity scent and nice thick/creamy, after one wash my hair was not as frizzy and felt nice and smooth, the more you use this the better your hair gets, it does do what it says, great product for a fantastic price!
