L'Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge Leave In Conditioner Treatment and Heat Protectant, 5.1 Ounce

This leave-in treatment lives up to its name—it recharges damaged hair with noticeable softness and strength after just a few uses. Lightweight and non-greasy, it helps reduce breakage, tame frizz, and adds a sleek finish without weighing hair down. The added bonus? It also works as a heat protectant, making it perfect for styling routines. If your hair needs a boost of strength and shine, this multitasking formula is a winner.

This leave-in is a game changer for dry or over-processed hair. The Elvive Protein Recharge not only leaves my hair soft and manageable, but it also acts as a heat protectant—which saves time and product layering. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and makes detangling a breeze. After a few weeks of use, I noticed less breakage and smoother ends, especially after blow-drying or straightening. Bonus: it smells salon-fresh without being overpowering. For an affordable drugstore product, this performs like a high-end treatment.

For years I have been hesitant to try any leave-in conditioners. I always wondered if they would just leave my hair feeling greasy and limp, or worse yet, like I had poured glue in my hair but I knew I had to try something. Recently I bought one of those electric hair drying brushes and I really loved how I could quickly dry and style my hair at the same time with one piece of equipment. No longer did I have to dry my hair then use a curling iron or dry my hair with a dryer while using a round styling brush. The only problem was that I noticed that my hair was getting a lot of fly aways or dryness. So I sadly just stopped using the hair drying brush. After searching on amazon, I saw many people rave about how L'Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge Leave In Conditioner helped them with similar concerns so I finally broke down and ordered some. Well, I tried it as soon as it arrived today and I am very surprisingly impressed with it. After showering I applied a pea sized amount to the palm of my hand. I then rubbed my hands together and then worked it through my shoulder length hair. The smell was pretty nice. I then used my electric hair drying brush as I had used before. My hair looks fantastic. It is silky and smooth with very few fly aways. There is absolutely no greasiness and my hair doesn't feel weighed down at all. Just smoothness and extra shine. No crunchiness or the feeling like I poured glue in my hair. None of the problems I thought I would experience using a leave-in conditioner materialized which makes me so happy. I have even suggested to my husband give it a try. His hair gets dry and frizzy during the winter, probably from having the furnace on. So if you have some of the reservations I had about leave-in conditioner as I had, you might give this one a try

This product works well for me! I have purchased it at least five times now. I use it daily (sometimes twice a day!) to keep my hair soft and frizz free. I have fine hair and 2b/2c curls and this stuff keeps it hydrated. I use it to help style my hair too sometimes. I think it works well with wet and dry hair. It's not heavy or greasy, just leaves my hair feeling soft. And it smells good too! It's a mild fragrance that fades pretty quickly.

I have been using Elvive Total Repair 5 for several years now and I cannot go without this stuff! I have a lot of very long fine hair that wants to dread, but this treatment keeps my hair tangle free, shiny, moisturized, smooth and strong! This treatment helps to keep my hair from breaking off. I have used high end leave in hair treatments in the past and this works just as well for a fraction of the price! The scent is delicious as well! Just so ya know, I was not paid for this review! I honestly just LOVE this stuff! The best way to use it is to start out with small amount and keep applying until you have gently and carefully worked it through the hair with your fingers so as to not over saturate your hair. . Let it sit and soak in a bit before brushing. Works for me every time!

This is the best leave in conditioner I have ever used!! My hair is fine but very wavy, almost curly. If I blow dry it get's frizzy so I tried this Loreal Elvive several years ago and have never tried another leave in conditioner since. It's reasonably priced, has a nice sent, travels well and doesn't leave hair weighed down, just nicely conditioned. Soft and lovely wavy curls. Very happy !!

Yet another one I tried to use for my fried hair. Cost effective and only helped somewhat.

As a lifetime bleached blonde, I swear by this. I use it every day to keep from frizzing out and it leaves my hair feeling great. Nice scent too. It's also super cheap comparatively, so now I just use olaplex once after bleaching and then switch to this daily. It gets the job done.
