L'Oreal Elvive Hyaluron Plump Hydrating Conditioner by L'Oreal — a conditioner formulated to balance and care for scalp and hair. Designed to leave hair feeling refreshed and lightweight.
L'Oreal Elvive Hyaluron Plump Hydrating Conditioner is a moisture-replenishing conditioner formulated with Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) for dry, dehydrated hair. It provides up to 72 hours of hydration, adds body and bounce, and detangles without weighing hair down. Designed as the second step after the Hyaluron Plump Shampoo.
It scores 70/100 on our ingredient safety scale (Moderate). It contains Dimethicone and Amodimethicone (silicones) for smoothing, Behentrimonium Chloride (a cationic conditioning agent), synthetic fragrance with Limonene (a potential allergen), and Phenoxyethanol as a preservative. It also contains a small amount of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which is unusual for a conditioner. Safe for most people, but those with sensitive scalps should patch-test.
Yes, it's specifically designed for dry, dehydrated hair. The star ingredient Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) attracts and retains moisture, while Glycerin provides additional hydration. Cetearyl Alcohol and silicones add softness and slip for easier detangling. It's best for fine-to-medium hair that needs moisture without heaviness.
Yes, it contains two silicones: Dimethicone and Amodimethicone. Dimethicone provides overall smoothing and shine, while Amodimethicone selectively binds to damaged areas for targeted conditioning. If you follow CGM (Curly Girl Method) or prefer silicone-free products, this conditioner is not CGM-compatible.
After shampooing, apply the conditioner from mid-lengths to ends on wet hair. Leave it on for 1–2 minutes to allow the Hyaluronic Acid to penetrate, then rinse thoroughly. For best results, use with the Hyaluron Plump Shampoo. Avoid applying to roots if you have fine hair, as silicones may weigh down the root area.
