L'Oréal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Pre-Shampoo for Damaged Hair, 200ml

Bad bleach jobs? This is the FIX!!! 🤩🤩 I had 2 bad bleaches last year (April and October) and by early March 2026 my hair was noticably snapping off at the point of re growth… I’m taking 2 inches of hair length from scalp. All over. I was loosing MASSES of hair every day, and I didn’t have a lot to play with to begin with! With very fine and thin hair, it quickly became very scary with only enough for the most scrawniest of ponytails, and a genuine fear that I would be left with a boy cut if this continued. So I began researching bonding treatments and this one was well reviewed to I opted for the full set, pre shampoo, shampoo, conditioner and leave in serum. I paid arojnd £30 for the set of 4 items. The best £30 I’ve ever spent!! On useage 1 (no joke!) I could feel the difference. My hair was less flyaway, it honestly felt stronger and thicker, and I was shocked by the visible improvement. The combination of things I’ve done to stop the rest of my hair falling out is this: Silk scrunchies (less than a fiver on amazon for 2) Silk pillow cases (I think £6 for 2 on Amazon) Wide tooth comb when wet, no wrapping hair up in a towel at all. (Hair is apparently most breakable when wet!) Boar bristle brush, arojnd £10 on amazon. This I only use when styling as it glides over the hair to style it but not truly brush it. Decreased from washing hair daily -> every 3 days. This stuff is expensive, no doubt when compared to normal shampoo and conditioner. The bottles aren’t big and you’ll get a few weeks worth out of the set. But… it works. That’s all there is to it. If your hair is breaking… take a chance on this stuff, it is amazing! Plus it smells incredible and the smell lasts the first 2 days easily which you don’t get from normal shampoo. Quite simply, this has saved my hair. It can’t grow back whats broken off, but it CAN stop any more excessively breaking off.

I have tried K18 and olaplex in previous years but this trumps them both! My hair looks like literal silk and feels so soft. I have bleached blonde hair but converted to a high lift tint around 1 year ago. My bleached ends get really dry and frizzy without using treatments every now and again so decided to try this one out. This will now be a staple in my hair care routine couldn’t recommend enough!!

Noticed a difference after one use. My hair the next day after washing would feel like straw at the ends, really dry and brittle but after using this once it's significantly softer and less dry. Will buy again

Nice and simple of use effective from day one feels very soft and longevity with good price and smells amazing and gives a shine look to your hair condition

Love this! I have been using olaplex but it's just too pricy for me right now, so I've been looking for an alternative. It's probably not as good as that, but still left my hair very soft and shine, it was much smoother after only one use. The smell is better then the smell of olaplex. Didn't leave my hair greasy either. Because it's not sticky, you only need a little to go a long way

Although this is meant to be used before shampoo I use it after shampooing and before conditioning to get the most bang for buck. My hair is long, straight and about 10% grey. I currently use temporary colours to disguise the grey but the greys look wiry. This product does a great job of smoothing down my grey hairs so that the texture more closely resembles the non-grey hair. I use this product once every six weeks to make my hair shiny and keep it in good condition. After shampooing I towel-dry my hair and comb through the Elvive bond repair pre-shampoo. I then wrap my hair in cling film for an hour before rinsing and conditioning. I use another brand of shampoo and conditioner. This product lasts me for 3+ uses per bottle so is very cost effective.

I’ve been an Olaplex user for a while but it’s expensive so was excited to see L’Oréal bring out a cheaper version. Sadly this didn’t produce the results I was hoping for, and made my hair quite greasy. Though my hair is damaged it’s also thin so maybe works better on thicker hair.

Wow it did so much for my hair

i use k18 post shower and olaplex post shower, so im not sure which one is the best because i rotate, but i do like the pre-shower treatment, i dont like putting oil on my hair, so id use this before shampoo.

Great product; it gives my hair elasticity, which I usually get from protein treatments, but it does not leave my hair dry. My hair feels soft after use.

This pre-wash hair conditioner is great. Combining all hair care i am currently using is giving great results; hair don't look dry anymore.

I’ve been growing my hair out and this product has helped so much to keep my lengths healthy and from splitting! Smell is amazing and my hair is so much healthier since using it.

It made my hair smooth and nourished, it also smells amazing
