L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

So glad I got to review this. The shampoo is AMAZING! It is effective, it smells amazing, and it's an affordable price point. The bottle says you'll get 72 hours of gorgeous hair, but I've got it an extra day or two more without seeing the greasy, oily mess that used to greet me. Other shampoos have over-stripped my hair, leaving me with fizzy bits and frizz (also, new Mums will get me here - those awful baby hairs that you get round your forehead from the post-partum hair loss. They used to full-on frizz, but not with this!).

This shampoo left me with a very, very, slight halo of hair, but nothing a quick spritz of hairspray couldn't fix - and even then, not really needed. It didn't weigh down the ends either. I've also found using other dedicated oily hair products that my hair got tangled and knotted. This time, nothing. So easy to brush and I didn't wake up with a bird's nest in my hair.

Just beautifully clean, healthy hair and scalp.

Being a shampoo it is really easy to use. It seems thicker than other shampoos I have used and I found I didn't need to use as much. Has a really nice smell that is not too strong and for me lasts all day. I applied to my roots and let it run through the rest of my hair while rinsing. I found it left my hair feeling really clean and quite soft although a little more knotty. Used with the clay mask, hair washing can be stretched out to around 3 days. Without the mask 2 days max for me. Will continue using this as I don't need to wash as much.

My hair is coloured, normally oily at the roots with dry and frizzy ends. After using this, my hair was shiny and smooth, no frizz and no oil! My scalp felt clean and refreshed, not heavy and oily. The only problem I have with this product, as with the conditioner, is the statement on the bottle saying '72 hours of fresh roots and hydrated ends'. It would be more appropriate to say 'up to 72 hours'. Everyone's hair is different so I was not surprised to only get 24-36 hours before noticing the oiliness returning. The packaging is sleek and easy to handle with a convenient flat lid at the bottom of the bottle which stops it from falling. It is easy to open and close with one hand. The smell is a pleasantly fruity, floral fragrance.

Overall, I would say this is definitely a product that works and I will be using it as my everyday Shampoo.

I have very oily hair and I’ve tried other shampoo targeting oily hair and hasn’t worked. My hair usually gets oily within few hours after washing my hair, so I was excited to get chosen to try the L’oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Rebalancing Shampoo. It comes in a 250ml bottle and it also has a lovely scent. The shampoo is opaque white and the texture is like any other shampoo.

I first tried this after I applied the clay hair mask in the same range and followed the instructions on the bottle. I have medium length hair, so I used about $2 coin amount of shampoo. I massaged it into wet hair, covering my whole scalp and rinsed it out until the water ran clear. Often with other shampoos, I had to wash my hair twice in the shower because I could still feel the oil in my hair. With the L’oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Rebalancing Shampoo my hair felt very clean and oil free after one wash. I then followed it with the hair conditioner of the same range. Once my hair was dried, it stayed oil free and clean for a couple of days.

The second time I tried this without the clay hair mask just so I can see if the results would be different. I had to wash my hair twice in the shower and followed it with the hair conditioner of the same range. Once dried, my hair only remained oil free and clean for one day. I would use this again, and recommend others to give it a try if they have very oily hair.

I was able to test this product for a week and I can totally vouch that this product is really effective and true to its claims.

I used this and tried not to wash my hair for a total of 3 days! Can you imagine that? I was so impressed because I actually wash my hair every other day. I'm planning to keep this shampoo and definitely repurchase when I finished the bottle.

I don't think this shampoo is suitable for colored hair because the formula gets really foamy even with little product. Foamy shampoo don't actually suit colored hair because the color will fade quickly.

Being foamy is actually not a bad thing, it's actually good if you don't have colored hair because this is a thrifty shampoo. A little goes a long way with this product.

The L'Oréal Paris elvive extrodinary clay shampoo is in a gorgeous coloured bottle with a delicous fresh scent. You only need a small amount it lathers up beautifully and I found I only needed to cleanse once. It didn't make my lightened lengths and ends feel like a tangled birds nest after rinsing. I found it great for my coloured hair, as it's very fine with oily roots and very dry damaged ends. Lovely shampoo that I would DefinTely use again

I have recently started using this shampoo to try calm down my oily hair, in hoping my hair would stay fresh and dry on top for longer without having to wash it all the time or pulling out the dry shampoo.

After a couple weeks of using this I have noticed a MASSIVE difference in the oil production of my hair. It has reduced by a lot, meaning I barely have to touch my dry shampoo anymore :)

I use this with the clay conditioner and it works great.

The only thing I would say is a downfall, is that the ends of my hair aren't very hydrated like it claims, but in saying this I do not look after my ends as much as I should.

Perfect and affordable shampoo for anyone trying to combat greasiness.

I have oily roots and dry ends, but also quite a dry and flakey scalp. I thought I would give this a go to see if it helped out my hair and scalp issues. While it didn't make it any worse, I didn't think there was any marked improvement in the oiliness of my roots, and my scalp seemed to get a little worse, I guess as there wasn't anything specifically targeting the scalp dryness. A shame as I really liked the scent, and it was nice to use, lathered well and the container stands up well in the shower.
