I decided to try the shampoo because the skin care range works well for me. The packaging is sturdy and easy to use when in the shower. The texture of the shampoo itself was similar to the texture of a condition, with a light, pleasant fragrance (which lasted when the hair was dry). The shampoo lathers up really well so a little will go a long way. It did leave a slight residue in the hair (similar to that of Pantene shampoo), but in all honesty with my hair being dry I didn't mind that. I have read the claims and feel they may be a little optimistic, but my hair felt soft and silky as it probably would have with a multitude of other shampoos. A good supermarket shampoo and certainly value for money but not really any different to the likes of Pantene and others in that price range. Would I use it again - probably, but I would not go out of my way to buy it.

This is my go to shampoo, because it smells amazing and makes you hair feel incredible. However, it does not "repair" like it says it does. Seriously girls, the only way to repair your hair is just to go get a trim every month. A shampoo definitely won't do the trick. I saw this as a normal shampoo and not a treatment - however, I do love it and I actually always have it stocked at home, only because it doesn't dry out my hair, and it really does make your hair feel amazing.
Tips: I find that girls overuse shampoo, all you need is a small dollop to fit into the middle of your palm
I quite like this shampoo and conditioner it leaves my hair feeling really clean and smooth. I love how the conditioner lathers and smooths onto my hair it feels so nice when I'm rubbing it in. They have a really nice smell to them and leave my hair smelling really great and feeling clean and fresh. Over all I think it did a great job. It made my hair fall out less and I seemed to have less breakage and split ends over a few uses.
currently using this shampoo and conditioner duo for my hair and I do like the smoothness and softness that it brings to my hair. can almost get away without using any anti frizz serum or straightener - guess it depends on how long i leave the conditioner in. But the shampoo is lovely - leaves my hair feeling clean and looking healthy.
I have short dark color treated hair I have had poor experiences with previous elvive shampoos but I’m always willing to try new ones and give them a chance I saw this and even though my hair wasn’t dry or damaged I used it for nearly a week now and so far I’ve found it to be nourishing and repairing as it claims to do. I even use it without a conditioner and my hair looks full and suffers less hair Loss. It hydrated my forehead and leave no flakes or dryness like previous shampoos. It has a slight scent while lathering but not overpowering which is important to me as I don’t want the skunk feel afterwards . A little goes a long way so unless you have as much hair as bob Marley you dont need much to get a rich smooth lather.
Tips: I recommend this for short or long hair with or without conditioner
Im using this product at the moment an i have used many different products before cause my hairs fine but lots of it I cant use anything to heavy an this product seems to be going really good so far. My hair was quite dry an limp for a while but its feeling much better an has volume to it so im happy as :)
The smell of this product first caught my attention, it smells amazing and almost like the salon. On the first few washes I used the shampoo along with my normal super market conditioner and I noticed a smoothness to the ends of my hair (wear all of the breakage is) and it was left silky all over. I also noticed the shampoo made my hair look fuller, it didn't feel a lot fuller but it looked it which was nice. On the 4th wash I had purchased the Loreal Elvive treatment also and used this too. The too products combined left my hair feeling amazing. It did all it was promised and my hair definitely had a healthy shine. I do however straighten my hair regularly so I think for someone who doesn't use heat on their hair it would be revitalized and feel stronger a lot faster and find it more effective.
Tips: If you used it in conjunction with the conditioner and treatment, with no heat styling for a week straight, I think you would get the absolute most out of this product.
I would definately use this product again! I'm sooo addicted to products that smell amazing and this one definately does! My hair was soo smooth and almost felt slippery after using it and blowdrying, which is what I like :)
It really made my hair feel so soft, the scent is so divine but it made my scalp itch. It is not really the shampoo's fault as my scalp is just so sensitive to everything, it is really hard to find something which wouldn't make me itch, I'm kind of used to it and just ignore it. However it didn't cause me dandruff and it's a good thing. It's a decent shampoo with a lovely scent to it, but don't expect miracles.
Tips: Always use the conditioner afterwards.
I had this shampoo for a trial product. After a few times trial, it gives my hair healthy glow shine. I have to do pony tails for work reason and I found my hair is easy to be organised. It's a little pricy product in the supermarket and I'll consider to buy it if it's on sale
