Bring back Elvive Protein Recharge Conditioner
2 months ago
I have tried this because I can't find what I usually use, which is: L'Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge Leave-In Conditioner. I don't like this nearly as much and do not plan to purchase again. Please bring back the Protein Recharge product. I have seen many comments that people feel the same as I do and don't like the Ceramide Recharge, please bring back the Protein Recharge or you will be losing customers.

Not happy with your new replacement

I bought this because I can no longer find the total repair 5. It dried my hair out and made my hair brittle
and break at the ends. The new fragrance not good.

Inferior to the predecessor
3 months ago
Why on Earth did you discontinue the protein recharge? It made my fine hair behave...with a bit of fullness. I've used several high-end products that don't compare to the Protein Recharge.
This new product causes a weird combo of stringy and dry strands. It's an inferior product. Uggh, L'Oréal!

Love it!! Works great on my hair!! I ran out of product and my hair was unmanageable and felt dry. With the leave in conditioner, it is soft and manageable.

I have really thin and flat hair so I got a perm in 2023. When the perm was growing out I got my hair trimmed off and it didn't grow again for two years; staying at collarbone length. My hair stylist said it kept breaking before it could gain any length. I tried several leave-in conditioners. One that I was using was discontinued so I tried L'oreal Elvive total repair. It has been a miracle! It's probably grown four inches since I started using Elvive this year, and is now mid-back length. I also use Elvive Hyaluron plump shampoo and conditioner.

Bring back the Protein Recharge formula!!!

So sad that the Protein Recharge leave-in conditioner has been replaced with this product. I have changed nothing else in my routine and am losing handfuls of hair every day! I am now on the hunt for a new product. You’ve lost me as a customer, L’Oréal!

Bring back the Protein Recharge

This new product leaves your hair feeling dry and brittle. The old Elvive Total Repair 5 Protein Recharge is much much better.
