L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

Like many of the other people using this range, I have oily roots and dry ends. When choosing a shampoo, remove the oil from my scalp while still leaving my ends hydrated. After using this product for two weeks, I definitely feel like this shampoo meets those requirements.

The full price of this product at Countdown is $5.50 and you get 250ml.

After washing out the clay mask, I applied this shampoo on my hair. I washed my hair all over, but really focussed on working the shampoo into my scalp. The shampoo foamed really nicely, so my hair felt clean after I washed it out. A little amount of product went a long way. The smell was my favourite part of this product. It's difficult to describe exactly what it smelt like, but it was very refreshing. It washed out easily and my hair didn't feel like it still had residue on it.

After blow drying, my hair felt light and hydrated. It also looked shiny and smelt amazing. Combined with the other products in this range, I went five days before my hair was oily enough to need a wash again. So this range definitely works!

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.

LOVE love love the fragrance L'Oreal uses , I would seriously use the fragrance as a perfume!

I really like this Shampoo! It's creamy and bubbles up nicely it's easily worked through the ends . But.... it does dry my hair out and strip my colour :(

I found while rinsing my lengths and ends felt like straw. But that didn't stop me from giving it the full trial. My hair colour really washed out , perhaps it was the clay mask or this?

I told my 14 yr old Daughter to start using this range too as she can wash her hair twice and she have an oil slick head. And one wash later , beautiful soft shiny wonderfully clean and fresh hair...even 3 days later..

Me...no this didn't work for me , my hair was so greasy by day 4 I rewashed. BUT that's ok because this range is perfect for Miss 14 , a blessing in disguise because we'd tried all sorts for her hair.

And the fragrance really lingers in your hair for days

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.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo comes in a nice green bottle, easily stored on it's head for easy dispensing. The consistency of the shampoo is quite thick, which is great, because it doesn't just run off your hand and you are able to foam it up quite nicely. The smell is delicious and fruity, both when you are using it and afterwards lingering in your hair. Even while washing, the hair already seems to feel lighter. The hair feels fresh and bouncy, even on the second and third day.

Horray!!! I'm so excited about this shampoo, I have really oily roots and its hard to find a good balanced shampoo and I'm loving this one, It does a great job of cleansing my hair, yet not drying it out completely. Before adding the conditioner to my hair I noticed my hair didn't feel "stripped" and still felt really soft. The shampoo lathers up really well, I even felt like I didn't need to repeat with that extra shampoo which I always do. I'm a shampoo every 2 days day kinda gal, and sometimes every day depending on what I'm doing with my hair, which can be really frustrating especially in winter with having really thick long hair. But I felt with using this product I got 3 days in without needing to shampoo my hair which is unheard of for me. Love it !!

The shampoo is good. I think even if I didn't use the clay mask I would consider using just the shampoo and conditioner by themselves. Lovely fragrance and easy to work with. I do notice that my hair is lasting longer between washes but can leave your hair a bit dry and frizzy once dried.

I didn't have a problem with my hair dye washing out - very minimal if any.

Loved the shampoo! I normally have to wash my hair daily, otherwise my hair is an oily mess. After using for a week, I am now able to wash my hair every 2nd day. My hair feels light, clean and nourished. This has a really creamy texture. I found a little goes a long way with this product. I will definitely purchase this again!

I've been using this shampoo daily since receiving it and have mixed feelings towards it.

My initial impressions were good. The bottle is a lovely blue-green colour and the scent is very nice and clean.

The shampoo itself foams up a LOT. You only need a small amount as the foam takes care of the rest. I found this shampoo to be very drying on my hair so focused it on my scalp and tried to avoid the lengths of my hair as much as possible. The foam covered the lengths regardless so would always dry it considerably.

I will finish the bottle but I won't be repurchasing it purely because it is so drying on my hair.
