L’Oréal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Rescue Pre-Shampoo

I didn't have high hopes for the product, honestly. I usually use hair products suggested by my hairstylist - I've even dished out the moolah for k18, which I thought was O.K. However, this product exceeded my expectations substantially. I enjoyed using this product in my shower with damp hair. I felt it made a difference in the texture of my hair specifically. Using this product along with the range made my hair significantly less frizzy (I'm usually looking like Hagrid from Harry Potter, to give you a visual) and made my curls look beautiful. I would highly recommend this range to anyone with damaged hair looking to repair it.

I've never used a pre-shampoo before and am still unsure if it really did make a difference. First time use, it felt like I needed to use more than what was advised, maybe because my hair is quite thick and greasy. After that though, I didn't seem to need as much to cover my hair. If you have dry, brittle hair, I feel this pre-shampoo could be of a benefit, but as for me, it was just an extra step which I didn't think was necessary.

This product has to be used before shampoo and I did so. My hair felt softer than before and more conditioned.

I have never used pre-shampoo products before so it was a bit of a novelty for me! Size of the bottle is nice and compact. I love how it removes dirt and impurities before applying the shampoo as the next step. Smells lovely as well!

I was sent all the products in the bond repair range to trial for 2 weeks, and I found that the Pre-Shampoo treatment smells really nice, has a thick consistency and feels very hydrating when applied. However, given that the instructions say to apply generously and ensure all hair (scalp, lengths and ends) is completely saturated, I feel that the amount of product given in the bottle isn't enough to justify the price point at $20+ dollars, and would definitely run out faster than the other bond repair products. I also find that having to keep the treatment on for 5 full minutes a bit too time consuming, especially since it says to apply to damp hair, so I can't even apply it before I hop into the shower. Overall, the quality of the Pre-Shampoo treatment is great, but I'm not sure if I would buy this product unless it was on sale due to the small bottle and the way it needs to be applied.

after using this it made my hair feel clean but without feeling too stripped

the way my hair feels like i just got it washed at the hairdressers is what i’m in LOVE with. hair feels sooo nice. even when it normally gets oily on hair wash day

The L’Oreal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Rescue Pre-Shampoo comes in beautiful packaging and smells great. I’ve never used a pre-shampoo before and was surprised at how well it cleaned my hair. After rinsing, I could feel my hair was cleaner than when I use just shampoo alone. I have used the Elvive Bond Pre-Shampoo, Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In Serum together and have found my hair to have less breakage and to look and feel much healthier. I’m very happy with the outcome.

I don’t love this step I think it’s just one too many it feels like a conditioner that doesn’t spread well, I also have to stand around for 5 mins in the shower with it in my hair. It does smell great but it feels like a conditioner being wasted as the next step is to shampoo not sure how it is benefiting my hair if it’s being washed out?

I have never heard of pre shampoo before, I assume it worked as it should, my hair felt great afterwards, though I used it with the complete hair routine package. I will go through this bottle faster then the rest because it doesn't lather and it says to apply generously.

My hair drank this up on my first use, clearly dry and needing the repair. On my second use, the treatment still soaked in quickly to my damp hair. Both times, there was no lingering greasy residue, only the feeling of damp hair. There was a noticeable improvement in my hair's quality in the following days after the full treatment: less flyaway, no new split ends, and even a slight shade lighter than before. I felt like a millionaire after using these products, pampered as though with a full salon treatment.

I loved that this didn’t have a long leave in time, which makes it easier to keep in your routine even when you have a busy day. A great repair treatment at a cheaper price. My hair feels stronger and shiny after using this.

I got the product free from hometester club to give my honest review. I like it . It took away all dirt and unwanted oil from my hair. smells amazing and i totally recommend it

My hair feels softer, almost feels like it would after using a conditioner. I haven’t really noticed much difference other than that. Also not a big fan of the smell, it’s quite strong to me.

My poor hair gets put through so much; blonde foils every 10 weeks, sweaty gym sessions 4-5 times per week and daily hair straightening. As a result, my hair is dry and damaged and I suffer from serious frizz! First impressions were that the packaging was very nice, love the colours. After using the pre-shampoo I noticed an immediate softness to my hair even when it was wet. Normally my hair tangles when getting wet in the shower and after using this product it was super smooth like I had used conditioner. The mixture was thin and lightweight, very easy to smooth onto wet hair, and smells divine. After finishing the routine, I would normally blow dry my hair to reduce frizz but this time I thought I’d let me hair dry naturally to see the results. So impressed, this product actually works. I had about a 50% reduction in frizz after first use!! Would highly recommend this product!
