L’Oreal Elvive Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Shampoo

  • Posted on May 15, 2010 at 6:20 pm

L'Oreal Elvive Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz ShampooA rich shampoo for those with very dry, damaged or coarse hair.

It moisturises well and even while washing hair feels supple and strong, only if hair is very dirty will you need  second wash.

We found this best for those with very damaged or dry hair, especially those who use straightener or heat stylers a lot.  If you only have slightly dry hair, or fly-away hair, you’ll find this much to rich.

Good value, often on offer in supermarkets.

Elemis Aromazing Shampoo

Elemis Aromazing ShampooThis shampoo has a lovely fresh clean scent to it which wooed us immediately!  At £12.50 a bottle though we put our sensible head back on!

Overall we really like this shampoo, it cleanses extremely well, though we did find we needed a second wash on greasier/dirtier hair – if you wash your hair daily you’ll probably just need one wash.  The first wash doesn’t always lather up that well, but the second will.

It leaves hair feeling clean and nicely scented, but it does not moisturise very well – you will need a conditioner – however the performance of our conditioners seemed to be improved when using this, something we hadn’t considered noting when reviewing shampoos before.

We have heard some reports of problems on sensitive scalps, although we did not find this in our testing we would recommend a patch test for those with senstive skin.

If the price tag doesn’t put you off this is a great shampoo to use.

Wednesday’s Haircare

Was up late this morning so it really was a quick hair wash and out the door…

Pantene’s Breakage Defence Shampoo – I’ve only just started using this (bargain from Wilkinson’s!), so I’ve yet to decide whether it’s good or not, I think it makes my hair greasier quicker though, so yet to be convinced.

John Frieda’s Go Blonder Conditioner – this I’ve been using a while and I really like :-)  A review to follow soon, I promise!

Then it was blow-dry and a quick straighten with my beloved ghds!
