L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

I was pleasantly surprised with this shampoo and think that I would probably continue to buy this. I used it a number of times, a couple with the pre-shampoo mask and a couple of times without and I think it did a pretty awesome job either way! I have recently cut my hair from super long to shoulder length so I wear my hair out a lot more and because of this I find myself playing with my hair a lot more and it gets oilier faster, but with this I found that my hair didn't get as oily as fast as it has been.

I really liked the packaging for this product and thought it looked really beautiful (the whole range did).

My favorite part about this shampoo was how light it is, usually shampoos make my hair feel quite dry afterwards and I need a lot of conditioner to make my hair feel smooth again and not tangled, but I didn't get that with this product.

I really like the smell of this shampoo, it reminds me alot of a watermelon scent. The shampoo is nice and thick and lathers up well so I didn't need alot for my long hair. Also it didn't dry my hair out like I thought it would, it focused on removing the oils from my scalp and I was able to go 3 days without having to wash my hair which was amazing. I have already used it twice and am so glad I found a product that works so well in my hair. I will definitely be purchasing again!

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.

This freshly scented shampoo is quite thick and luxurious. It lathers really well and I only needed to shampoo once to have perfectly clean, oil free hair.

When lathering I concentrated on my roots as opposed to my ends so as not to dry them out. It does say it hydrates the hair as well but I find most shampoos dry my ends out, and when I wash the shampoo out it washes down over the ends cleaning them enough for my liking.

My hair feels very light and airy after using this product - oil free for over 48 hours. I'd definitely recommend this shampoo for oily rooted people.

The clay shampoo has the same medicinal smell that the whole clay range has. Its not unpleasant, reminds of something clinical, but i must admit it is the least favourite aspect of this entire range.However getting past the smell, the works amazingly well with the clay mask and the clay conditioner. It is a pretty green/blue colour and you don't need much to lather up your hair. I use it twice each time i wash, and my roots are indeed squeaky clean, in fact they do squeak, when i have finished. It does extend the amount of time between washes, i was washing my hair daily , but can now go two days without having to do so. I like this range very much and will continue to purchase it, it is now my go to shampoo and conditioner and i'm very pleased to have been picked for this trial and to have discovered how good it is.

I used the shampoo as part of the extraordinary care range. The shampoo has a subtle gentle scent and gave a wonderful lather. I didn't need to wash my hair twice which I usually do as it felt so clean on the first rinse. Using this shampoo as part of the range, I've successfully managed to only have to wash my hair twice a week!!!.

I think this may be my new favourite shampoo! The packaging is pretty, the smell is subtle, and my hair loves it. The shampoo lathers nicely, and rinses off easily. After my hair was rinsed it literally felt squeaky clean. This made me feel confident that the oils were completely washed away. My hair was left feeling very light and soft. Much nicer than it usually is after washing. The feeling lasted for about 3 days before starting to get a little oily, which is slightly longer than what is normal for me. I will definitely be continuing to use this product, along with the matching conditioner.

I was sent the range to review, and I was super excited about trying the shampoo & conditioner as I have tried so many and never really found the perfect fit. I love the scent, however the shampoo leaves me with that too squeaky clean feeling which is especially disappointing since the pre-shampoo mask makes my hair feel nice and soft. Other than that, it feels like any other run of the mill shampoo, as does the conditioner. You don’t need a lot of either product each time which is great. However I found I was left with the same amount of time where my hair felt good enough not to rewash it - every day or every second day at most, which was quite disappointing. Overall it wasn't a bad shampoo, but it didn't live up to my expectations.

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.

The packaging is pretty standard, I like the look and the colour that is across the range is nice. The scent for me is quite strong, it's not unpleasant, just strong. I'm not good with strong smells, thankfully this one I can still smell in my hair after but it's not as intense.

The shampoo itself is thick and lightly coloured. I used the normal amount that I use for other shampoo, but it was too much. At first I thought it reacted with the pre-shampoo mask, but when I did it without the mask it lathered up a lot too. I have found after the mask I need to wash twice for it to feel clean, and with most shampoo I do this too. With just the shampoo, one wash is enough for it to have the clean feeling.

My hair feels light and remains oil free longer than the period it says, so I think in conjunction with the conditioner this works really well.
