Wasn't too bad

My hair is coloured and fine but I have a lot of it. This means it gets REALLY frizzy, and I can't leave it to dry naturally without some styling help. This shampoo has a pleasant smell, goes through the hair easy & makes it feel nice once washed out. The frizz was less compared to other shampoo's, and my hair was soft & easy to style. The only down side I had was that it made my hair go oily slightly faster than normal.

Tips: Wash every second night.

L'oreal Paris ELVIVE smooth intense shampoo

Overall a great shampoo, the bright yellow bottle was very eye catching the sleek design was easy to manage and see through bottle was great so you can know exactly what you have left. The scent was divine it lathered well and rinsed easily and my hair felt well cleansed.Definitely over the period of the trial my hair felt calmer ,smoother, and less frizz was visible I thought the price is fair and would happily continue to use this shampoo on a regular basis.

Frizz fighter

For starters, I love the packaging! Clear bottle is super handy so you can see how much product you have left. If used not in confunction with the conditioner I don't think it'd be as effective. It didn't leave my hair feeling dry like most other shampoo's do. Smelt divine and lathered nicely. Frizz was reduced over the period of the review. Would definitely purchase again.

Super Smooth!

This shampoo is so luxurious! it adds a lot of shine and softness to my hair especially when i straighten or curl it. For this affordable price i would recommend to anybody who has frizzy hair looking for a smoother feel. One downside i noticed was that i began getting some dandruff around the top of my head but i could overlook that since the actual texture of my hair was so nice.

Tips: i recommend using it with the conditioner for the ideal combo.

Smooth Intense

Smells amazing, lathers well, and has a lasting great effect on my hair. Used with the matching conditioner, it left my usually dull lifeless hair shiny, soft, and manageable. My hair is usually a giant fluffy mess, but this actually managed make quite a difference. It sits better, and I can actually leave it down without having to do much to it.

Very Good Anti Frizz Shampoo

I purchased this from the beauty vault and was pretty excited as I have used other L’oreal products and find them pretty good. I have dry, damaged hair due to my health and am always keen to find something that reduced frizz. That it contains argan oil was also a big plus.

It comes in a clear, orange bottle with a flip top, easy to open and use. The product is a pale clear fluid with a beautiful scent, that smells similar to many other hair products.

It lathered easily and felt soft in my hair, and rinsed easily and cleanly without leaving a brittle, dry, feel, like some shampoos can.

My hair feels soft and smooth after drying and after regular use I can see there is less frizziness. The product claims to nourish and tame, with lasting smoothness and I believe it meets this claims quite well.

I would purchase it and I do recommend it to others to try.

At around $10 it is a little more expensive than a lot of similar shampoos, but I believe it’s worth it.

Tips: Use with the matching conditioner for the best result.

Smooth and clean for a bargain price

I picked up the L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo in the recent Beauty Review Beauty Vault along with the matching conditioner as I'm convinced there must be a range out there that is cheap and perfect for my hair. This actually comes pretty close!

The shampoo comes in a clear bronzed plastic bottle that isn't something that would automatically appeal from the shelf as a shampoo (superficial! sorry :) ) but I can't put my finger on why exactly. I do like the swirly gold logos and the clarity of the product labelling though.

The shampoo itself is liquid form and a clear gold/orange shade. It has a non-distinctive, 'typical' scent common to most shampoos. It lathers up nicely and cleans hair without drying or stripping moisture or colour (my hair is fine, dyed, and tends towards dry).

I have noticed that since using this shampoo my hair stays in reasonable condition post-dry/straighten/curl, however it does have a lingering tendency to tangle a little more than it has done with other products, which is why this product falls short of perfect for me. Other than this I'd happily buy the hugest bottle I could find. This is an idiosyncrasy of my hair though and I doubt it would be an issue for many people.

The shampoo washes out cleanly and leaves no residue. It definitely has improved the look of my hair, making it less frizzy and more smooth.

I recommend this shampoo to you! You can often pick the range up in the supermarket for around the $5/$6 mark and it's a LOT better than similar products from different ranges in a higher price bracket. I'll be keen to check out other ranges from this brand.

Nice Shampoo

I was lucky enough to get my hands on L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo in the last Beauty Review Vault.

The Shampoo comes in a transparent/bronze bottle with an easy to open flip top lid. I like that the lid is also flat, so you can turn the bottle upside down to capture all of the product.

What stood out for me was it is enriched with Argan Oil, Thermo Protection and it's Anti Frizz.

I do not need to use a large amount of L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo in my long, thick hair. It lathers/foams easily and rinses out of my hair without leaving it feeling matted. The Shampoo itself is similar in colour to the packaging. It is also thick in texture and leaves my hair feeling very clean and somewhat soft, even before I condition.

L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo has a nice fruity/fresh smell but the fragrance does not linger in my hair.

I follow Shampooing with the matching Conditioner. My hair looks shiny and there is less frizz and fly-aways, particularly around my face.

This is a good product that is readily available from Supermarkets or Pharmacies.

Tips: Definitely use the matching Conditioner.

Elvive shampoo

I was lucky enough to get this shampoo and conditioner in the last beauty vault and was excited to try it on my unpredictable hair that after its air dried it turns into a fluff ball and it drives me crazy.

The bottle is amazing that it can be tipped upside down easily so we can get every last drop out and there is no wastage. The shampoo it's self is a nice translucent caramel colour and you really don't need much at all. Try and remember shampoo doesn't need to create a lot of bubbles to be doing its job.

I found this shampoo/ conditioner was a lot better in my 2 year old sons hair as he has quite tight ringlet curly hair that easily turns into a fluffy Afro, this shampoo along with the conditioner seamed to define my sons curls and stopped them going really frizzy. I think I'll continue to use it on his hair instead of my own

My in-between Shampoo

I have been using the Elvive serum for years now and love it. So when I was looking for a cheapy S&C in the supermarket to use in between washing with my expensive purple shampoo I thought id give this a try (along with the same conditioner)

I have salon dyed blonde wavy/curly hair and I heat style it every day + always dry it with a hair dryer which of course means its frizzy too, so this should ideally be a good match. Really easy bottle to use (almost too much comes out it you squeeze too hard, so be careful) and its in an unmistakably bright orange bottle (which is great cause hubby then knows which one to use!)

After washing my hair with it, my hair feels really clean. I always wash my hair twice with shampoo before I use conditioner. Always make sure you get a good lather happening :)

I find my hair is not dry at all after shampooing (like I've had with many others) and it removes any product build up and oiliness. I either follow with the same conditioner or use one of my treatment ones.

Overall I would defiantly purchase this again, but don't expect not to have to use a hair product after washing your hair, like serum or hair cremes to get rid of those flyaways if you have hair like mine. I do think this helps calm my fro' so for the price its worth considering to t.
