L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil for Colour Treated Hair

Hi guys! This is my first review and I thought I would do it on this product that I have been using for a good 2-3 months now and it's the L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil (and I purchased it for colour treated hair).

So a couple of things: I think that originally it is £9.99 but I got in on a promotion deal for £6.99 or something from Superdrug. Seeing as it is post-Christmas, I reckon that it should be on sale, so after reading this review and you think this product is suited for you, definitely go pick it up!

Firstly, I would just like to say that had it have been £9.99 when I went to buy it, I wouldn't have purchased it - it is pretty good but for how much there is and what it does, I think the £9.99 is a bit pricey, considering that I am a 16 year old.

The story behind purchase: I had been using the Tresemme Argan Oil for a couple of weeks/months and I loved that product and it smelled divine! However, it had cost me £5.00~ for this much...

wouldn't say it's worth it!

So after it had ran out (but I must say, it lasted longer that I had expected it too), I went out to get another oil for my hair because I love the finish it gave my hair when I put argan oil or moroccan oil in my hair! I got to Superdrug and well, I think I was swayed by the promotion of launching a new product - so I bought it.

Back to the product, I will now give my honest opinion on this hair oil.

Pros:

1. This bottle lasts for AGES! My hair is pretty long and thick (past my boobs) and I have been using this since September/October? I have only used about 1.5 inches of the bottle and I wash my hair every other day and I put it on every time before blow drying.
2. It smells absolutely INCREDIBLE and for the scent, it is definitely up there with the argan oil!
3. "A little goes a long way" - one pump of this definitely works through my whole hair length bits...I don't know what I'm saying, and this is probably the reason why it lasts so long!
4. Gives a very nice, shiny and smooth finish and definitely no frizziness (taking into consideration that my hair is normally straight and only occasionally frizzy and static).
5. It claims that you can you use on wet and dry hair and even as a hot oil treatment in the shower (although I have not done this myself).
6. WORTH THE MONEY

Cons:

1. I find that it loses a lot of the volume that my hair needs as the oil weighs down the lengths of my hair and the crown of my hair lose quite a bit of volume despite me using hairspray and other volumizing sprays.
2. DO NOT GET THIS ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR ROOTS - if you do, you might as well hop back into the shower!
3. When using it on dry hair (hair that has been blown-dry), it "clumps" the hair together, which again, loses the volume and body in the hair.

So there we go! I hope this review was somewhat helpful for those wanting to buy this product and the most common places to get this would probably be Boots or Superdrug!

Love, Nicole
