Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm L'Oréal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm 251 ml (8.5 fl oz)

The treatment step of a two-part system

This balm is designed to follow Total Repair 5 shampoo as part of the same routine. It is aimed at hair showing several signs of damage and focuses on restoring a smoother look and feel.

Protein and ceramide in the formula

The manufacturer describes it as infused with almond, protein and ceramide, and the ingredient list includes hydrolysed wheat protein, arginine and serine. L'Oréal states that a single use improves the smoothness of damaged hair.

Quick enough for every wash

It only needs 1 to 3 minutes on wet hair before rinsing, so it fits into a normal shower rather than needing a separate pampering session. The range was previously sold as Advanced Haircare and Hair Expert, with the same formula now under the Elvive name.

How to use

After using Total Repair 5 shampoo, apply the balm to wet hair and massage through to the ends. Leave on for 1 to 3 minutes, then rinse.

Before you choose

This is a rinse-out balm, not a leave-in treatment. Contains wheat protein. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
