L'Oréal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Leave-In Serum, with Citric Acid Complex, for Stronger Hair, Heat Protection, 12x Less Split-Ends, 98% Stronger, 82% More Shine for Damaged Hair, 150ml

Context: fine long hair with bleach damage I really like this conditioner. Bond treatments themselves aren't actually conditioning so a good conditioner is essential to do the rest of the lifting for hair health and to nourish your hair after shampoo. I use this alongside a few different bond treatments I use in rotation. It's a good price, has some potential to help bond repair too, gives a good balance of hydration without weighing down my fine hair too much. The scent isn't in your face and is fairly neutral as conditioners go. I don't see it being overwhelming to anyone. A good dupe of the redkin acidic bonding conditioner for those without a luxury budget. I can't comment on how much it repairs as a stand alone. I'm a believer that stand alone bond treatments do the hard work and shampoo and conditioner with the ingredients are more of a supportive role. I hope that makes sense. I truly can't fault this and my hair is looking amazing since I added this as a conditioner alongside the actual treatments. It definitely seems to do a great job of giving your hair what it needs to balance washing and a bond repair treatment. I've used this with olaplex 3, k18, the loreal bond repair and even redkin bond repair, results have been consistently impressive. I've been able to grow my fine bleached hair due to lack of breakage and not needing trims due to split ends (a thing of the past). I definitely credit this conditioner with helping me get there.

I have very thick long hair that is prone to frizz, using this method I can guarantee my hair is soft, sleek and has minimal fly-aways (it's not a miracle worker, not many products are, but it does make a huge difference) here's my method: I use this shampoo, sometimes I shampoo twice as per hairdresser's advice but this is optional (I'm prone to dandruff and have been told this helps). It lathers very well and smells gorgeous, I get why some people comment on a chemical scent, because I find it smells like hair dye- but I LOVE the smell of freshly dyed hair so this is great in my opinion. I pair with the conditioner, again, the scent is great, the consistency is a little watery when I usually prefer a thick conditioner texture, because of this I think I'm using more than I need to, it does the job so I can't complain. Once my hair is washed I'll use a hair oil, running a small amount through the length of my hair, enough to feel it's in there but not enough to make it greasy (any hair oil works, I don't use this brands) I did dry my hair with my shark flexfusion and use the straightener attachment (I use this anyway but doing the above steps seems to encourage a way sleeker look). Job done, hair feels soft and surprisingly enough my split ends seem to have decreased, obviously I know the only real way to fix spit ends is to have them cut but seriously this seems to have improved my hair health. I can't speak for the expensive brand version of this (we all know which one I'm on about) but this is great for the price. And that's coming from someone that almost cried at the idea of spending £6 on a shampoo initially when this was on offer (I was previously a £2 and under kinda gal!). I'm glad I gave it a try!

Nice conditioner, fair price for the amount of product. Smells pleasant and leaves hair softer than my usual conditioner and combs through nicely. Would buy again for sure

Great for black box dye. My cousin uses this for her platinum blonde hair and her hair looks amazing, she uses the full kit

leaves a great shine and soft hair.

Felt silky on my hair

I have the shampoo, pre shampoo, conditioner and serum. I love the pre shampoo, shampoo and conditioner. It made a big difference in my hair after only using it for 3 days. It smells lovely and it’s definitely helped my hair stay nicer and soft for longer. I’m not fussed on the serum it made my hair greasy so I only use it at night before bed I wouldn’t buy the serum again. I wish the bottles were bigger for the price, I’m not sure if they’ll last an entire month of being used everyday. I have very sensitive skin and have no problem so far with these products.

Good for wavy hair , leaves your hair shiny , and good for repairing coloured hair
