Mechanism of Action

L'Oréal Paris Elvive Color Protect Conditioner works through conditioning ingredients that help improve hair surface feel and reduce friction between strands.

Softening ingredients may form a thin cosmetic coating on the hair surface, supporting softness and easier detangling.

A smoother hair surface can reflect light more evenly, helping color-treated hair appear shinier and more vibrant.

Using a suitable conditioner after shampooing also helps improve the feel of dyed hair, particularly when the lengths are dry or tangled.

Important: The conditioner does not completely or permanently prevent hair dye from fading, restore lost dye pigments or fully repair structural damage caused by chemical treatments.
