I have very oily hair and I’ve never tried dry shampoo before, so I was excited to get chosen to try the L’oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Dry Shampoo. It comes in a 150ml bottle and it also has a lovely scent. The texture is like a light hair spray.
I wash my hair everyday second day, so I used the dry shampoo on days I haven’t washed my hair. I followed the instructions on the bottle. I shook the bottle well and sprayed it to my roots from 15cm above my hair. I did this to each section of my hair, only targeting the roots and let it soak in for 2 minutes. Once it has set, I lightly brushed it with a comb.
I was very disappointed and unimpressed with this dry shampoo. The dry shampoo didn’t absorb the oil like it said it would, instead made my hair very greasy, sticky and even oilier. The worst part was my scalp got very itchy, but I did have nice smelling hair.
I was super excited to try this dry shampoo, more than any of the other products in the range, but I just couldn't fall in love with it, I was so gutted.
The best bit about this dry shampoo is the scent, it did leave my hair smelling fresh which I loved because the scent lasted all day, but in terms of taking away the oiliness it juts didn't work for me. I did like how it wasn't white and powdery like some other brands, but maybe because it isn't as powdery it doesn't take the oil away? I wouldn't buy this product as I know there are others out there which do the trick for me.
