L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

I was quite excited to receive this product as my hair is quite damaged from years of dying and straightening so I've been using it solidly for 2 weeks and it's almost finished.

I found it really nice and thick to apply and the smell is fantastic but even after washing the shampoo out thoroughly it still leaves quite a thick residue in the hair afterwards that makes it appear quite greasy and was hard to straighten. I thought maybe it was just me but it's happened 3 times now since using it.

My hair is definitely looking shinier since using it but to be honest I can't tell if that's because of the residue left over or because it's actually making my hair shinier.

I didn't notice any difference with fuller or stronger hair though but maybe that comes in time.

I have a busy lifestyle being a mother of 4 and working so i needed a product that would help me with damaged hair. I Found when i first used this product it had a nice creamy texture and it cleaned away my daily impurities and gave me extra shine and my hair felt soft but in the end was not as i expected didn't get that desired result , while my hair felt clean and looked shiny it became very knotty and hard to manage , felt this product could not be used without the total repair restoring conditioner

I have used the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo for the last 3 weeks & can't say i noticed any difference in my hair. My hair tends to get very dry & splits & i was hoping that this shampoo would help it to feel softer & look healthier but it didn't. If anything i would say my hair became slightly more frizzy & i needed more styling products to keep it looking smooth & shiny. One positive was that i loved the smell of this product....yum! The feel of the shampoo was also good & my hair felt great while it was damp. I can't say that i would agree with any of the restoring factors promised in the write up of this product.

I liked using this shampoo it didn't make my hair feel like it was to drying when washed it out as some shampoos make hair feel really dry sometimes after rinsing.

I was thrilled to get the product in the post and because it was L'Oreal I was expecting great things. I have fine dry hair but with oily roots so was hoping for a bit of a transformation. The scent was fine, nice but not too strong and the texture of the shampoo nice to touch. However, I found that it did not lather well so needed more than my usual shampoo. As long as I used it with conditioner, my hair combed out fine. My hair felt nice for the first day but I found that after that, my scalp became itchy and a little oily - far sooner than my usual shampoo. After weeks of using the product, I can't say that I have noticed any differnce to the texture of my hair. It may not be 'lifeless' but it certainly doesn't look or feel 'repaired'.

My hair has always been prone to breaking and falling out so I decided to give this a try.I am currently using this along with the repair conditioner and I have noticed my hair is shinier and softer to touch after awhile, but is still quite brittle, and for some reason goes very dry as soon as I get out of the shower even after the conditioner which makes it very hard to brush. Maybe not the right one for me? Overall I guess I thought it would be better than it was and am a tad bit disappointed but on the plus side it does make my hair smell nice and leaves it looking shinier.

The product itself felt really good to start with, then when I would rinse it out my hair would feel so dry and damaged, knotted and just dead practically! I would literally have to use half a bottle of conditioner to get my hair back to a decent texture, I didn't want to bin it so I used it as a body scrub until it was empty and it was probably one of the best body scrubs I've ever used.

It's hard to find shampoos that actually do what they say on the bottle I find that this one left my hair smelling nice but it didn't repair my hair very well , not one of the best out there

I found this made my hair look amazing straight after i dried it but within a few hours my hair felt heavy like it had a silicone cover on it. Its probably not like that for everyone but its not something i will use unless i am desperate.
