What they flagged

  • Conditioner lighter than some prefer

What the gurus are saying

The shampoo earns consistent praise for how soft and manageable it makes hair feel during the rinse itself, with several gurus noting it conditions almost as well as a separate conditioner would. The citric acid bonding complex works gently enough for regular use on damaged or color-treated hair without buildup, and at around $11-17 the pair offers solid value for a drugstore option. The conditioner is lightweight and nourishing but doesn't wow quite as much as the shampoo does. One caution: the fragrance is quite strong, so those sensitive to scent may want to test it first.

"This is a citric acid base complex, it just does so well for my hair. [...] In general, I just like the foam, the lather, the clean of this shampoo. It's 17 dollars for the shampoo plus conditioner in the 7 ounce bottles, [...] already a good discount. [...] These are relatively smaller bottles, so if you use a lot of shampoo like I do, you're going to go through them pretty quickly."

"L'Oreal's Everpure line has a shampoo and a conditioner and I really like both of them. They just have a really nice foam, a really nice clean, and my hair feels very healthy afterwards and actually a lot easier to style afterwards, I think because of the citric acid bonding complex they have in it."

"Now, the swap that is drugstore is another one from L'Oreal around $11, which is the bond repair shampoo. I absolutely love this shampoo. In fact, from this entire L'Oreal EverPure Bond Repair line, the shampoo is my favorite, even more so than the conditioner. I absolutely love the way my hair feels when I use the shampoo. [...] I love the way it feels even more compared to the Briogeo. I did feel like I almost conditioned my hair with the shampoo."

"The shampoo is my favorite because it's such a gentle, hydrating, nourishing shampoo that I would use even without the paired conditioner. On days when I do my hair cycling routine, [...] I alternate between shampoos, and on a day where I just need to gently cleanse my scalp without drying my hair, I'll use this shampoo. [...] I love how soft and silky my hair feels after it's rinsed out. The conditioner is lightweight and doesn't make my hair heavy."

"I actually have used this myself and I love it. [...] It really helps to revitalize dry, brittle, damaged hair, whether it's from chemical processing, coloring, or just overdoing it with heat styling. This really helps to repair the broken bonds in hair that causes brittleness and hair breakage. This is a fairly affordable shampoo and conditioner. I'm actually most obsessed about the shampoo because after using it my hair feels super soft and slick."

"I absolutely love this because my scalp feels cleansed but also as it's rinsing through my hair, my hair feels very moisturized and not tangled up and not crunchy and dry. [...] This is by far my favorite product from this entire Bond repair line, even more so than the conditioner or the bond repair concentrate. [...] I just love how this shampoo makes my scalp and hair feel. It makes my hair feel already so soft and manageable, and it helps to detangle as I'm rinsing it off."

"The L'Oreal Paris EverPure Bond Repair conditioner is a really nice lightweight conditioner that contains those bonding repair ingredients that help repair dry and damaged hair. It contains 12% of the bonding hair complex with citric acid along with glycerin. It's really lightweight and safe to use on color-treated hair. It has a light citrus fragrance, which I love because I find that hair care with fragrance is part of that experience and really matters for me."

"Since I only wash my hair twice a week, which by the way I hate, I miss washing my hair every day but I'm trying to protect my hair and it's what I have to do, now I prefer to use a cheaper alternative for the first wash and I thought this product was great. However, I can't buy it here so I've had to move on. So if I lived in the US, would I buy it again? I would buy it again, I thought it worked great."
✓Mixed
"I've also been trying out the bond repair now I don't have color treated hair so I don't you know take that with a grain of salt I don't have much in the way of damage in that regard the premise behind these is that they get in there and they may you know stand in for disulfide bonds um it's interesting and I I do think it works in that regard I don't see any difference in my hair though when I use the bond repair."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
