Miracle

After a bad salon experience- which left my hair bleached, dry and tangled I changed to this shampoo because of the argon oil infused in it. It has been amazing! My hair although still recovering is much much more manageable and smooth. It has been my miracle fix!

Good supermarket brand

I've recently been gifted this set of shampoo and conditioner and immediately thought "well if I don't like it I'll give it to my nieces" I'll be keeping this. In general I only use Sorbet or Salon brands but I'm not about to turn down the offer of something that was gifted as it could turn out to be the next amazing find! On first glance the packaging is pretty blah - it's orange, and that's not a colour that graces my life very often, the bottles are nicely shaped and easily held in your hand. The flip tops are easy to open one handed in the shower too, I always like that. The shampoo comes out a translucent orange colour and is easy to get out of the bottle. I have short hair, so only need a small amount - it's quite economical. It's easy to lather up and wash out.

There was a definite difference to the texture of my hair - usually after using supermarket shampoo my hair feels rough and straw like but this formula leaves my hair feeling pretty good. It does help reduce the frizz factor when used in conjunction with the matching conditioner and if I use a hair oil or serum it eliminates it altogether. Not sure about the 48 hour anti frizz claim, I think that's a bit hopeful, but it does make a difference to just washed hair. The smell - well, it's not for me. I don't know how to describe it but it smells little old ladyish to my nose.

If I was to run out of my normal shampoo and needed something in a hurry I would look at purchasing this, however I would not pay $9.00 per bottle for it. I imagine it often comes up on sale though.

Tips: Give it a go, you've got nothing to lose, except frizz.

Good, not great

I received this to trial in a Black Box and was pretty excited as I'm always interested in trying products that claim to give me smooth locks. I have damaged, coloured hair that tends to get oily roots and dry lengths, and while it's naturally straight it does get it's fair share of frizz and flyaways.

I really liked the shampoos fragrance, similar enough to salon products that I can fool myself into thinking it's very fancy. The packaging is simple, an orange functional plastic squeeze bottle that's easy to use and store. The shampoo itself is actually similar in colour.

I found it lathered really easily without needing a lot of product. After washing my hair felt nice and clean but not squeaky like some shampoos leave it. I've been using this in conjunction with the matching conditioner and together, however I haven't been noticing any difference whatsoever in anti-frizziness in comparison to my regular shampoo.

This is a nice enough shampoo, but nothing about it really impressed me and for the price it is I wouldn't repurchase it full price although I may purchase on special.

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

I am in love

It smells great, and its so nice to use. The best part is when your hair is dry and you feel how smooth it is. my hair is still a little bit frizzy but only the bits that are impossible to tame. my hair also has a really nice shine to it. I really love this product and will definately use it again.

Tips: use with the conditioner

L'Oreal Elvive Smooth Shampoo

Used it for the first time this morning, since its a raining day. My hair naturally is wavey but like to have it smooth and straightend for work. Didnt need to use a lot to get a good lather, with some shampoos i need to wash twice. Great fragrance too.

Smooth Operator

I was so excited to try this product. It smelt wonderful and the texture is really lovely. I loved the shampoo. It left no oily residue on my hair and would use again. The only downfall was that my hair seemed to get oilier faster than usual, which I was suprised about since it's not a creamy shampoo.

Tips: I actually use this shampoo with a different conditioner. The L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Shampoo & Conditioner combo didn't really work for my naturally curly mop. It was lovely after I'd straightened it. But, curly, there was still a lot of frizz.

LOREAL, BECAUSE YOUR WORTH IT......

Okay dollz, this is my first review on a actual product that I have received, i waited for 2 days to try it out as I just ran out of my previous shampoo ( brand remains anonymous ). So, i got so my hair ( asian hair ) its quiet rough and frizzy and sometimes out of control like a lion king...hmm, so anyways. i jumped into the shower and i wet my hair as per normal then i try the products on. the texture is really thick and smells really good ( to me ) i dont like it too scented hmmm, so i lather my shampoo up and massage my hair and left it for about 1 to 2 mins then i rinse it off, honestly, i could literally run my fingers through my hair already, i then used my conditioner and i use generous amount of conditioner and i left that on for about 5 mins ( i usually leave my conditioner on quiet long to it could soak in ) and i rinse them off in warm water ( since in nz its winter ) and final rinse i did a cold water to lock in all the texture and moisture......AMAZINGGGGGGG.....my hair is sooooo smoooth ( i wish i could attach a photo of it ) and i towel dry my hair per normal and i use the loreal elvive conditoner spray ( a bonus ) for me and locks in the shine and moisture...and i just left it there to air dry since im not going anywhere....the smell is realy good and after few hours my hair was dry and i flat ironed my hair AMAZING results.....little frizz ( which i kinda expected ) and its very smooth overall i think its a wonder.....AMAZINNNNG.....i always loved L'Oreal product but it does really work wonder.... L'Oreal..because your worth it

Tips: if you feel your hair is course and dry after wards just spray some loreal elvive condition spray to lock in everything..it does wonder :D :D....
