Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Mask, 8.5 fl oz

My once super-easy hair has been damaged beyond belief after wrongfully trusting one of those "made for you!" customizable hair care companies. I have spent the last year trying strengthen my hair, get rid of split ends, give any volume at all, bring back the waves I used to have, and desperately trying to make sure I don’t lose any more hair (I have an awful thinned out spot right at the back of my part now!). I’ve had some, but not great, success so far…until now! I picked up this Elvive mask and tried it out last night. I used my regular shampoo, then used my regular conditioner (very quick application from root to tip, to untangle the thinned-out, damaged section on my scalp). Once I rinsed that out, I used this mask, fully saturating my hair from about the chin downwards, and working a little bit up towards the roots. I left it on for the recommended 3-5 minutes and rinsed. Used no additional product, did not try to encourage curls in my hair, nothing. When I woke up this morning, I had the most perfect wave on a little section right by my face, as well as several hints of waves throughout the rest of my hair. It all fell out within an hour of being up and moving, but that’s okay…that’s the most I’ve seen in about two years. Now that the waves are out, I can’t stop marveling at my hair. It feels soft, silky, and weightless, and has more shine than I’ve seen it have in a long time. Only time will tell for long-term results, and I will continue my search for additional products to add to my arsenal, but I am truly amazed at the results of this. As a final bonus, the scent is pleasant, not overpowering, and fairly neutral – I don’t think it would “compete” with the scent of most other hair products!

I am so happy with this product. It truly works amazingly. I had very dry hair from being out in the sun. My hair also was oily from using another brand that caused a chemical build up. I could not be happier with this product. I used it with the Elvie dry and damaged repair shampoo.

I literally love this hair mask! every time i use it my hair feels so silky smooth and when i dry my hair it just has so much shine and no frizz!! super good to leave in overnight too! Highly recommend!!!

I bought this after my girls (4 and 7 years old) and I got professionally treated for lice (I know! It was awful!) . They warned me that the lice treatment would destroy our hair to book an appointment for a deep conditioner treatment, which I did for myself, but didn’t feel the need to do so for my children and went out in search of a conditioning treatment I could do myself. That’s where I found this! I found it completely by accident in the hair care aisle and figured I would give it a shot and I’m so glad I did! Our hair was damaged to the point where it felt like dreadlocked straw but now after just one treatment, i was actually able to run a comb through it! It’s still not perfect but it’s a thousand times better then it was and I canceled my appointment! This stuff is amazing! Oh, and it smells good too! :)

I usually buy hair products from the hair salon. This time I was out of my hair mask and had got this one from cvs. I used it this morning for the second time and my hair feels amazing! Super shiny, soft and the smell is wonderful. Also, not pricey comparing other high end brands.

I am at the bottom of the container, and I will be buying another on the next shopping trip. I can not do without it. I have very fine hair that I color treat, so my hair was becoming frizzy , dull and unattractive. This product makes me proud of my hair again. To the person that mentioned wanting a travel container.. I just put it into a smaller plastic jar for travel. Or better yet, spoon some into a ziplock bag. You can squeeze it out to use, and when you have used the last of it, turn the bag inside out, put your hand in the bag and rub on your hair.

1. Made my hair fall like crazy 2. Made my hair itchy 3. Made my hair dry 4. Made my hair extra frizzy 5. Doesn't smell that great

I love this product so much and I cannot live without it. however, I travel a lot and the packaging is extremely inconvenient to travel with. I would love to see a travel size one day. Please????

Have used up my whole tub of this stuff and really enjoyed the results I got from it. It moisturizes well and is a great treat for hair that is damaged or stressed. Will be buying again!

I have very very thick, curly, and medium coarse hair that I wash fully once per week and use a straightener on every day. The first time I used this product my hair felt SO much softer, smoother, and smelled great for multiple days. It definitely made my split ends less noticeable and my hair felt like I had naturally straight, sleek hair, whereas before it felt like coarse curly hair that had been straightened. I could see this being too heavy for thin, already sleek/oily hair, but for dry, damaged hair it's a miracle! It gave me comparable results to much more expensive products and it will last me months.

This product should definitely only be used on extremely dried & fried, especially color-treated hair, basically anyone with noticeably damaged hair, split ends, etc. Also, I'd recommend using only if you have optimal to thick hair, and to probably only use this treatment 1x/wk, because it truly is a miracle worker on my disgustingly over-processed THICK hair, and reading some of the negative reviews, I could only guess these people had great hair to begin with, and/or anything but very thick, coarse hair, like mine. Maybe it was left on too long, or maybe not left in the hair long enough? Before committing to the product, I bought the sample packet, which I noticed is offered everywhere the full size product is sold, so it's truly beneficial & I'd recommend doing that for anyone who's on the fence about whether to purchase or not.

I was not sure about this one, since it is a little different type of product. It seems to work though

I was looking forward to finding at least some change with its use, but found it very ineffective and it left quite a bit of residue even after thorough washing. It left my hair feeling heavy and not healthy at all.

bought it a week a go, totally changed my hair, gave it life, it hydrated it a lot

My hair was really color damaged, this helped a lot, it changed my hair, slowly

It is a great product I've been using it for years its the best out there.

I am African American and used this product after severe protein overload. It worked after my first use to prevent future shedding and breakage. So glad I gave this product a try!

Makes my hair soft every after use but aside from that, I don't see any difference...

I made the mistake of getting a perm and am suffering the damage of it now. I tried L'Oreal Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm and just after two uses, I am amazed by the amount of repair of my hair. My hair has almost completely quit breaking and has regained much of its shine. Again.....I'VE ONLY USED IT TWICE SO FAR!!! Thank you for this product and its effects on my hair. I am thoroughly impressed and will switch to only using L'Oreal hair products just because of this one!

I use this regularly on my hair about once a week. I think it works great!

I love this conditioning treatment for my hair. Makes my color treated hair feel soft and I have no frizz on humid day. I love it!

Hard to notice a difference but I do have thick curly hair so finding products for my hair is difficult

This is the best conditioner! It’s perfect even with fine/straight hair. I never feel weighed down.

. I'm straightening my hair all the time and this product helps with my split ends a lot

But this month ago it did a wonderful job I highly recommend it

I really love this product it help with my damaged hair
