I have really loved trialling this Extraordinary oil Coconut oil range from Loreal (thanks BR) All the packaging in this range is simple and all matches in. The scents all match which is a light and sweet coconut scent is, it is a subtle and not over powering scent, it is just very pretty. The shampoo and conditioner bottles are a huge 325ml which I love! Even the oil comes in a 100ml bottle which Is huge and I have barely made a dent in it after using it for the past 10 days.
The shampoo was probably the biggest let down in the range for me it just left my hair feeling stripped/really dry (I know- how is that possible when you are in a shower! But it did) It doesn’t lather much which is ok that’s not really a biggie.
The conditioner has a lovely thick consistency and it is easy to use and spread through your hair it has the same beautiful scent that matches through the rest of the line.
The mask is a goodie its like a rescue remedy for your hair. I love how soft and nourished it leaves your hair. It doesn’t take much to take your hair from drab to fab! I love the big plastic tub this product comes in, it is so easy to scoop the product out.
The oil is honestly my new favourite it is amazing! it is great in my hair, it is just as good as the salon stuff that I normally buy, a little goes a long way with this oil too so it will last for ages.
Overall I am pretty impressed with this range and I would happily repurchase it except for the shampoo.
This is a fabulous range and has made my hair look so healthy and beautiful. I am in love!
SHAMPOO: I was excited to trial this range so when it arrived I was straight in the shower. It came in a large bottle which surprised me as the other Elvive shampoo I have is considerably smaller. I like that it has a flip top lid which makes it easy to open and you can stand it on the lid to get the last bit of shampoo out.
It is a lovely thick consistency and man it smells devine! Beautiful coconut scent which I really loved. A little bit definitely goes a long way, it lathers up very well and washes out easily.
It didn't leave my hair feeling dry or knotty at all. The only negative thing I found was the amount of colour that washed out when I was rinsing. I know it is not a colour lock shampoo but I was shocked to see how much come out.
Overall it is a lovely shampoo which made my hair feel clean and smelling like coconuts!
CONDITIONER: Like the shampoo this comes in a great sized bottle with a flip top lid. I love how you store it standing on the lid which helps get all the conditioner out.
It is lovely and thick! I have very long hair but you don't need to go overboard with this as it spreads so well. It has the same amazing coconut smell as the shampoo, sooooo yummy!
I leave it on for a few minutes then rinse out. It leaves my hair with no knots and my comb runs through it with ease. After blow drying and straightening my hair looks transformed. So soft and shiny, my frizz is tamed and my hair looks fabulous. The coconut scent lingers all day which I love.
A beautiful conditioner that I am loving. I do not get any colour wash out at all from this unlike the shampoo.
MASK: I have not used a lot of hair masks before so was keen to see what results this would give me. It comes in a tub with a screw on lid which makes it easy to scoop the right amount of product out.
It is very luxurious and thick which I love and has the most incredible coconut smell which lingers in my hair all day, I love getting wafts of it throughout the day.
It seems like it can be used in a few ways, I tried a mask, overnight treatment and leave in conditioner. I like it all 3 ways! When used as a mask I shampoo my hair then leave this on for about 5 minutes then rinse, as a treatment I used it on damp hair as it was easier then popped on a shower cap and left it on overnight, as a leave in conditioner I put a tiny amount on my mid lengths and ends. My hair was never left feeling heavy or greasy. This really is a lightweight mask and my hair was left feeling so soft and hydrated with each use.
Definitely a winner for me and I would recommend for anyone wanting to give their hair a boost of hydration. Love this!

Tips: OIL: I love a good hair oil and this one was really great! It comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a pump. It holds 100ml of oil which will last ages as you only use a little bit each time.
The oil itself is very lightweight, I use 3-4 pumps, rub my hands together then apply to damp hair, it does not leave any greasy feeling at all or make my hair feel limp and heavy.
After blow drying my hair is smooth and frizz free, it has a beautiful shine and smells incredible. I really love this oil!
I have also used it on dry hair to tame any Flyaways and it did a fantastic job, you only need a little bit, it is so effective.
Overall this is a beautiful hair oil which I will gladly keep using and would happily repurchase when it runs out. Love it!
I highly recommend this entire range. It will leave you with beautiful hydrated hair and smelling like coconuts!
