Anyone use Elvive products?

I use Elvive shampoo and conditioner (for coloured hair) as I can't afford professional products and find that they are the next best thing.

I always use conditioner because if I don't my hair is usually a tangled mess! Last week I run out of conditioner and went without for a few days and surprisingly my hair wasn't too tangled. Yesterday I bought some new conditioner and have found that my hair is now completely unmanageable, it is really soft and flyaway and just won't style properly.

I'm wondering if anyone else has found this? Perhaps they have changed the ingredients or maybe it is just that my hair no longer needs conditioner.

Any hairdressers out there?

TIA

Nope. But I avoid Nestle products.

I use the same shampoo/conditioner combo as you, and have found the conditioner to be same as always. BUT my mum hates conditioner and does not use it. This results in very dry ends and when she has to use it, it makes her hair very unmanagable. In other words, I think her hair is gotten used to not having conditioner, and when she surprises her hair with it, there is lots of fluffyness and flyawayness.
Mine on the other hand, only has the fluffyness and flyawayness after not using conditioner [so has my hair gotten used to me using it?]

Thanks jewelsandgems. I think I might give my hair a break from it and give it a conditioning treatment once a week to give it some protection.

VVQ and Marmadukescarlet, I had a feeling it was something to do with Nestle but wasn't sure. I don't tend to boycott companies anyway although I can appreciate why people feel the need to boycott Nestle.
