L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

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.

I always feel bad when I place a bad review or even a slightly below average review. I have tried this product and I keep trying to see if it will get better but for my hair it just didnt do anything for me. I have natural hair on the top and bleach blionde ends.... think ombre but really grown out. I get oily roots when it is close to wash day and I wash my hair twice a week.

Using this product in the shower (obviously hahaaha), I like how it sat with the tops down which would mean the product would be easy to get that last little bit out (big plus). It has a pleasant clean smell (I am more of a OMG fruit or OMG sweet tasty wonder smell fan myself). It foams up and seemed to wash out easily. I did not need to do my usual two sampoo wash. But after conditioning and then drying my hair it felt heavier? It felt weird, something was off and I have no idea what it was.

It did remove the oil but it left my hair feeling bla. I do not need help feeling bla! By day 3 my hair was oily and gross perhaps more than usual. I think this really didnt agree with my hair type.

I did give it a good try and it did do what it said it would. It just also made my hair heavier and feel weird.

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.

I used this the shampoo with the conditioner, however in all honesty I found it did nothing to prolong time between washes.

I wash and condition my hair every second day and hoped I'd be able to push it out another day but unfortunately this product wasn't for me.

I wouldn't buy this to use again unfortunately, but after reading other reviews maybe it's my hair?

I'm feeling like a negative Nellie about this entire range (which I'm grateful to BR for sending to me!) To keep it brief: The pros: *It cleanses my hair. Hair is left feeling super clean and nourished. In conjunction with the clay mask, my hair felt clean * It smells nice. * A little bit of shampoo goes a long way (when used in conjunction with the mask) * It's a super affordable range ($5.50 ish for a 250ml bottle) * It's easily available

Cons * My hair was left quite fluffy * My hair had an unusual amount of flyaways * It did not keep my oily roots at bay - my hair is just as oily as it always is, maybe, just maybe, more oily...!

On balance, I'm not a fan of this range, I think there's better product out there that do a better job - I prefer the red L'oreal Elvive range, which I've used on and off for a few years.

I purchased Loreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay shampoo for my dry and damaged hair. It feels good while shampooing as it gives a soft and silky touch. But when my wet hair are dried, they look the same as before. I used it for like 2 months to see if it will make a difference but NO. This shampoo might work for many other people as I surely trust this brand.

I call this particular Shampoo of the L'Oreal Elvive Clay Range the Strip Shampoo. Why? In using this very product i found the results disappointing. I felt that my hair was complete stripped to the point where my hair felt hard. My scalp also felt dry even though i'd just washed the product off. On the packaging, it said that it will leave your hair feeling fresh and clean for 72 hrs, however, it really didn't. Try 48 hrs, where my head started to get that itch where you know you have to wash your head because that freshness, that cleanliness is gone. I had to dry shampoo the heck out of my head just to get through the day. This shampoo was not suited for my scalp and hair.

Sadly I couldn't. I have a scalp that I like to call Dandruff prone. A shampoo either works for me or it doesn't. This one sadly didn't.

I like to only wash my hair twice a week. Generally at the start of the week and at the end of the week. Even so in still keeping my routine the same I found this shampoo left my roots so oily and slick.

By the end of the bottle my Dandruff was back with a vengeance and my hair and head were not loving me.

I dye my hair regularly so was looking for a shampoo that wold hydrate my ends and keep my hair looking soft and shiny. When in fact it did the opposite and my ends looked worse after using this product.

I personally won't be using this again but I felt it was worth giving a go.

Reasonably priced for $6, I've seen it on special for less, so if you love this product keep an eye out for the deals :)
