Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about shampoo cleanses effectively without drying scalp or hair — just accept volumizing spray is expensive (€12) for a mass-market product.
The reviewer generally likes the Elvive Collagen Lifter line, especially praising the conditioner for its detangling and non-weighing properties, and the spray for its instant volumizing effect and pleasant scent. She finds the shampoo effective and non-drying, particularly preferring its results on wavy hair, though she notes the spray's price as a drawback for a supermarket product.
This review provides an overview of the new L'Oréal Elvive Collagen Lifter hair care line, focusing on the shampoo, conditioner, and volumizing spray available in Italy. The reviewer describes each product's characteristics, discusses their ingredient formulation, and shares her personal experiences with their performance on her hair.
The Elvive Collagen Lifter line is a highly recommended solution for achieving significant hair volume and improved hair health. The shampoo effectively cleanses without drying the scalp or hair, keeping it cleaner for longer, and the ultra-concentrated conditioner detangles effortlessly while leaving hair shiny and soft. While the volumizing spray instantly adds volume and doesn't dry out hair, its €12 price point for a mass-market product is a notable downside. This line excels particularly on wavy hair, enhancing elasticity and curl definition, though the shampoo is less ideal for naturally straight styles. If you have wavy or normal to oily hair seeking long-lasting volume and improved manageability, this line is an excellent choice; however, if your hair is very dry or you're on a strict budget for styling products, the spray might be a concern.

The shampoo has a clear gel consistency but is very viscous and stringy, a characteristic attributed to the collagen peptides. The reviewer also emphasizes that the collagen is biomimetic and laboratory-created, not of animal origin.

The Big Hair Day revitalizing volumizing spray is a hybrid product that simulates hairspray action without dirtying hair and acts as a dry shampoo. It promises to lift roots in 3 seconds and cleanse hair for 48 hours.
