L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo

I tried. At face value, this ticked all the boxes, but I just couldn't make our relationship last. At first it was great! It was silky and slick feeling on my hair- no shampoo had made me feel this way before. What was this? My hair felt gorgeously soft and detangled WHILE I was shampooing! This is new, this is exciting, is it... Love? No. No it wasn't. It was a passionate but brief affair, that left my hair dull, limp,frizzy and STUPIDLY difficult to style. I wanted this shampoo to show me the error of my ways, that I had been a sulphate free, anti supermarket shampoo brigade snob for too long, but this just wasn't the one for me. I have naturally oily hair that is prone to frizz, and the dehydrating properties of the foaming agents just disagree with me and do bad things to my scalp and hair. It turns my scalp very oily, and the stand as themselves became brittle and frizzy while using this (i also found the conditioner totally useless on my attempt the remedy my "situation", but that's another story for another review!). I've switched back to my other shampoo and gave been using intensive masks to try and calm it back down, but it's much frizzier, and just doesn't look or feel as good. That makes me a sad panda.

The first thing I noticed about the shampoo as I applied it was the lack of 'foam' that it created. I really had to massage this into my scalp/hair to get any feeling of the shampoo actually working into a lather.

I have long, damaged hair from straightening and blow drying and was looking forward to this making my hair healthier. Unfortunately over the trial period I did not see much difference in my hair condition at all.

So I have quite long hair, it's pretty wrecked from bleach and I was hoping this would be the answer to my hair prayers... I like the bottle, its easy to hold and open in the shower and I guess what you expect a shampoo bottle should look like. The texture is pretty normal to and the scent is not over powering... so far so good... I washed my hair and it definitely felt clean, always a plus for shampoo right.. wrong, it dried my hair out even more. I don't think this did anything to make my hair look or feel any better at all.

I was super excited to try this product as I've been shopping round for a shampoo & conditioner that will help me with my long dry hair.

I liked the fact that it's the type of shampoo where u don't need much and it's enough to get through my whole hair (my hair goes right down to my bottom, and thick too) I noticed that after washing the shampoo and conditioner out, my hair felt really heavy, extra tangled and really dry. I didn't notice a shine and it generally felt like my hair was worse off after using the product. I don't know if it's just my hair??

Dont buy it I found the shampoo and conditioner a waste of money Its something i personally wont make again

I purchased these a while ago, thinking 'oh L'Oreal is good' but i was fooled. This is NOT the same sort of L'Oreal you buy from the salon. I strongly disliked the smell and didn't find it nourishing what so ever!
