L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

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!

I am cursed with oily hair, that I need to wash to wash my hair every day, and at a stretch maybe every second day, which tends to be a bit greasy up top and frizzy elsewhere. So a product promising to help with this is exciting

The shampoo lathers well and leaves my hair feeling really clean. It is a really thick consistency - so much so that if I don't squeeze hard enough it disappears back into the bottle! Nice and thick but doesn't weigh down my hair.

I love the turquoise/aqua colour of the bottle, but I do prefer see through bottles so I can see how much product I have left. And even though the shampoo and conditioner bottles are different in that one sits upright and vice versa, they are still too similar and I would still get them mixed up. Maybe just too early in the morning for me.

Overall it is a good shampoo. Not sure if on it's own it would help with oily roots but is designed to be used in conjunction with the mask, conditioner, and dry shampoo. For those reviews - check them out under those products.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this range thank you BR. I have very oily roots so was eager to see if this could make a difference. I typically have to wash my hair every second day.

It comes in a aqua colored bottle that can stand upside down. It has a lovely scent. The consistency is semi thick and white pearl like.

This shampoo is easy to lather up and rinse off. It claims to give you 72 hours of freshness and light lifted roots. It unfortunately didn't for me however used in conjunction with the Clay conditioner and clay Pre-shampoo mask (which are in separate reviews), it definitely helped. It left my hair feeling clean and light. I would recommend.

I personally always use the same brand of shampoo and Conditioner together so can not comment on Wethersfield this product would work by itself.

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.

Was super excited to try out the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay range as I have oily roots + dry ends and the fact that it has 'clay' in the name intrigued me. I like the packaging, the scent and it's easy to use. I followed the directions on the packaging and applied the shampoo to my wet roots, followed by conditioner on the ends then left them to soak into my hair for a couple of minutes while I shaved then rinsed it out as I always do. I really liked this shampoo as it contains no silicone's and left my hair feeling fresher for longer without weighing it down. I usually wash my hair every second day but found that I can go 3 days now.

This products smells and feels like the other Elvive shampoos. I like how the shampoo cleanses well without drying out the hair and my hair feels so light after I clean it. I received this product as part of a BR trial. The scent is light and refreshing. Really happy with this product.

I received this from BR to review along with the conditioner, preshampoo mask, and dry shampoo. They're all in really nice looking packaging, and I really like the light green colour.

The shampoo smells divine, which instantly made me like it more. It lathers up well to create heaps of foam, and only a $2 coin size dollop is enough for my whole head (although I do have shoulder length hair right now). It's easy to rinse off, but I feel like it feels a little too 'oil stripping' if that's possible. If you've ever tried washing your hair with bar soap (terrible idea), you'll know that super gritty, lost all oils kind of feel. Well after rinsing this off, my hair felt a little like that. Almost as if it's done its job a little too well. After I used the conditioner though my hair felt back to normal again so maybe you have to use the two products in conjunction. I did notice that my hair feels much lighter straight after, and it looks very shiny.

It's been a bit over a week and I feel like my hair is already improving. I've been quite active this week so I expected my scalp to get oily quickly, but it's averaging about three days before it's unbearable and I have to rewash my hair. Normally if I wash every second day, I can easily pass off with fresh looking hair.

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
