L'Oreal Elvive Test Drive

I have just given the Loreal Elvive range of Shampoo and Conditioner a test drive. The product I used was the Loreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Illuminating Shampoo for Normal, Dull and Lifeless Hair with Pearl Protein.

Product Description: "The Nutri-Gloss Illuminating line has been specially formulated to restore shine, lustre and vitality. L'Oreal Paris Elvive Nutri-Gloss Illuminating Shampoo, Conditioner, Masque and Crème Leave-In Conditioner are enriched with pearl protein, the formula is concentrated in nourishing and energising elements to restore strength and shine. Active ingredients provide hair fibre with targeted and balanced nutrition to smooth cuticles and enhance hair texture, promoting sleekness."

Pearl Protein is the fad at the moment - every product I buy seems to be enriched with Pearl Protein. My hair is generally dry-normal and I need to use product when styling otherwise I get flyaways and it goes a bit frizzy. I prefer shampoos and conditioner with a thick consistency. I didn't have high hopes for the product at first, it wasn't as thick as I'd normally like. The smell is very nice, not too strong.

After using the shampoo and conditioner I blow dried my hair without using any product. As mentioned earlier I usually need to use a smoothing product to stop my hair frizzing. After drying my hair there was no frizzyness or flyaways. I was very surpised at how "styable" my hair was after using this product without the need for any styling product.

I tend to think that no matter what the bottle says, all shampoos and conditioners are the same except for the smell. I was very pleasantly surpised by this product and would be great to use it frequently.
