L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

Great option for a supermarket shampoo brand. Affordable, always on special, smells fantastic and really really works for oily hair. Although I feel it dulls hair slightly which I guess would be caused by the “clay” part. I would defintely purchase again when on a budget

I always enjoy the fragrances they use in their hair care products. Prior to using this my hair had been heavy and weighed down by silicone styling products. The first time I used this product my hair felt lighter and looked healthier. After the 3rd use my hair began to feel Iifeless and limp. I would use this once a month as a treatment to deep clean your hair and scalp and remove all the dirt and built up product.

I have oily roots and dry ends this is the only shampoo that washes my hair properly and my hair stay oil free for 4 days instead of the 2 days with any other shampoo. It smells good and makes my hair feel amazing.

Occasionally my hair tends to get quite greasy and was recommended to try it out, I absolutely love the smell of this product which kind of reminds me of the one for colored hair. Would recommend this for anybody looking to control oily or dry hair on a budget

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.

My hair has been getting oily roots recently, so I decided to give this shampoo a go after hearing about it here on BR.

The shampoo is packaged like the others in the Elvive range. And the white shampoo inside the bottle doesn't look much different to their other shampoos. Being a clay shampoo, I expected something thicker than standard shampoo. Scentwise however, I reckon it has a similar scent to other products in the clay range - not that it actually smells like clay.

In terms of effect, the shampoo does feel like like it's taking the oil out of your hair. After washing it out, my hair had a squeaky clean feel, and I sometimes got an extra day before needing to wash it again. But although it said it was for dry ends too, I didn't really find it great for those. I found it best to stick to a hydrating product for those.

Because my hair doesn't get oily (except for the roots from time to time) and because I stuck with a conditoner that hydrated the rest of my hair, I don't think I saw the effects as much as someone who has oily hair who uses both the shampoo and conditioner. But it did pull my roots out of their oily funk, and give me back my normal hair (which is more dry than oily). So this product is a great pick me up for people who are having an oily moment too.

This really is the perfect shampoo for oily roots... In the past few years I've had some trouble finding a good shampoo that helps take the oil away. Then I found this! It's a holy grail! After the first wash I noticed a difference instantly. I don't need to wash my hair as frequently, I can get away with washing it every 3-4 days.

The only problem I have with it, is that it sort of dulls my hair abit. It doesn't feel as soft and smooth as other shampoos I have used.

But if you're looking for a shampoo that is specifically for oily roots definitely try this out! It works wonders!

Unfortunately I have a feeling L'Oreal Paris has taken this(and the conditioner) off the shelves as I can't find it in any countdown stores anymore, which sucks a lot!

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.
