L'Oreal Elvive's Extradordinary Oil UV Filter for Coloured Hair was one of the first hair oils I tried. I bought this quite a while ago and after the first use I wasn't totally convinced that it was as amazing as the reports I was hearing as I didn't really notice much difference from before when I wasn't using a hair oil...
However, as with all things that I review on BeautySwot.com I gave it the benefit of doubt and carried on using it, trying it in different ways to see which best suited my hair and gave the desired results and of course to give it a proper testing.
L'Oreal Elvive say
A precious blend of 6 flower extracts with nourishing properties
Sublime Hair Enhancer
Versatile Use
Luminous Colour
Sumptuous Softness
Weightless Touch
To use - Rub 2 drops between the palms of your hands. Apply evenly through the lengths and ends of wet or dry hair. Before shampoo for extra colour protection; before styling to protect and transform your hair; as a finishing touch for sumptuous softness and luminous colour.
My thoughts
As the oil comes out it has quite a chemical scent to it but as you warm it in the palms it transforms to a really rather pleasant fragrance. The oil is really light, not greasy and it doesn't weigh down the hair . After experimenting I found the best way to use it on my hair was to apply after towel drying and allowing to dry a little before blow-drying and straightening and then one pump as a finishing touch when hair is dry (if required) for extra sleekness. This way I get soft, silky hair with decent, light reflective shine.
L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil costs £9.99 for 100ml
I use the normal version of this as a hair mask, xoxo.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like just the thing to give my hair that extra glossy, sleek look. My hair gets dry so easily and needs something that will give it a little extra boost

I love the pink Kerastase oil for coloured hair but might try this cheaper version now xxx
