    Not a "wow" shampoo

    The smell is great, the lack of foam is little weird but actually is healthier for the hair. The only problem is that my hair gets oily very fast and I don’t feel that gets smooth like it should.

    I love the packaging since it has a pumps which makes application easy. Very affordable shampoo with nice smell but it doesn’t power up much since it’s low in sulphate and many other types of chemicals available on other hair care products . This shampoo doesn’t leave my hair dry like most other shampoos will do

    I’ve been using this shampoo for two years, it is different shampoo experience since it has no foam first you feel weird feeling since we all are used to shampoos with foam but then you change your whole idea about shampoos because your hair will totally be clean!! This shampoo is great since it is creamy, smells good, leaves hair hydrated. I am using the red one color protect its price is affordable for this shampoo also can substitute conditioner and hair cream. The only one problem is that it doesn’t really protect color.

    I am using the Extraordinary oil type and love it a lot.. you leave it 3 to 5 minutes on your hair and you can feel that your dry hair will become smoother and softer. The shampoo is soft and light. I do not need a conditionner. For better results use the Elvive extraordinary oil serum after shower.

OUR EDITORIAL REVIEW

Packaging:

L’Oréal Paris’ Elvive Low Shampoo Total Repair 5 comes in a bulky container of 400ml and a pump top. The container is white and has some red, gold, and black on it and the pump is red.

Type:

There are 3 different types of “Low Shampoos” which serve different hair types: the “Elvive Extraordinary Oil Low Shampoo” for dry and fragile hair, the “Elvive Colour Protect Low Shampoo” for dry coloured hair and the “Elvive Low Shampoo Total Repair 5” for damaged and sensitized hair.

Tested Shampoo and Hair Type Tested On:

We tested the “Elvive Low Shampoo Total Repair 5” for damaged and sensitized hair. The shampoo was tested on normal hair.

Smell:

The shampoo smelled nice, but it does not overpower.

Texture:

The texture of the shampoo is creamy, non-foaming, and spreads in a buttery way on the hair. The product does not lather up and it feels more like a conditioner than a shampoo.

Effect:

The “Elvive Low Shampoo Total Repair 5” is a shampoo-conditioner hybrid that is sulfate-free. Sulfates are used in most beauty products to lather and clean both the hair and the skin, however, they have been found to be harsh and even aggressive on the skin and hair. The most important aspect of using “sulfate-free” products is that their cleaning efficiency has not been compromised. A component we examined closely while testing the “Elvive Low Shampoo Total Repair 5”.

Upon using the shampoo, we found it to be non-foaming just as advertised, it is also gentle on the hair because of its rich creamy-like texture.

We followed the instructions which recommend 10 to 15 pumps, but we found that the amount to use depends on hair length: If your hair is short you will need less quantity, same for fine hair. and we left the product on for a total of 3 minutes. The shampoo rinsed out easily, however, we found that it is essential to rinse multiple times so that no residue remains. If not, then the hair will appear greasy, like it is coated with some sort of oil, and clumped together. Rinsing with medium heat or even cool water is highly recommended to make sure that the product does not stick to the hair.

If done right, we found that it leaves the hair looking refreshing, clean, and with a nice smell that is distinct. The product is effective and does not compromise on care or cleanliness especially given that it is “sulfate-free.” We particularly noticed the ends of the hair feeling soft and smooth. We tried it without conditioner and found that there was no need for conditioning. If the hair being washed is fine, then we recommend you alternate between the “Elvive Low Shampoo Total Repair 5” and another shampoo of your choosing. This way, the “Low Shampoo” will work more as a treatment for hair repair than a regular every day shampoo.

Price:

“Elvive Low Shampoo Total Repair 5” is sold for $6/400ml. The price of the shampoo is comparable with similar formulas like the “Pantene Pro-V Gold Series Deep-Hydrating Co-Wash Shampoo” which sells at $10/450ml.
