What a system!

I've always had to wash my hair every second day, so when I had the chance to try this shampoo as part of the Extraordinary Clay range I was really excited and hopeful I would 'get away' without washing so frequently.

Initially the clay pre wash masque was like a refreshing, cooling, rejuvenation for my scalp. The shampoo with a subtle scent gave a fantastic lather and bubbles which is important for me with thick hard to control hair.

The moment of truth, once I dried was clean and easy to straighten hair. The best bit though was NOT needing to wash my hair the second day- a tiny amount of the dry shampoo and I was good to go. I am absolutely sold and will be purchasing again

Tips: I thinned down the pre wash masque with a tiny amount of water to make it go further and easier to apply

Overall, a bit "so-so"

I have very fine, thin hair with a slight wave to it which is a little below my shoulders. As a result of my hair type, it gets oily within 12-18 hours.

I will go into more depth on the individual items in the range on their own product pages, but as a general overview I don't feel especially strongly about this range in either direction.

The shampoo and conditioner were the most useful and effective parts for me personally, however, the shampoo was overly drying and the conditioner was overly conditioning. I'd prefer them to "tone it down" somewhat and meet halfway. I noticed the bottles say they contain 3 types of precious clay but do not mention what these clays are or what benefit they provide.

The clay mask for me did nothing. The first time I used it I don't think I managed to wash it all out properly and as a result of the clay residue my hair was unable to excrete it's oils but my hair didn't feel nice so I don't recommend this. I noticed that to properly cover my scalp it uses a large amount of product so the container wouldn't last long.

The dry shampoo I might repurchase depending on price. I like that the scent matches the shampoo (as does the clay mask) and it does a good job of absorbing the hair oils making me not look greasy, however my hair was still limp so I kept it tied up in a ponytail for the day anyway.

Tips: The shampoo lathers up a lot, so a little goes a LONG way.

Clay is bae!

Let me be honest - I was a very cynical, oil ridden girl when I received this invite. But hey, who am I to turn down the chance to trial a range that claims to keep oil at bay for days?!

Each product was nicely packaged in mermaid blue - a lovely addition to the bathroom.

Clay Mask - surprisingly easy to apply and it didn't 'set' too much, I was convinced I'd be trying to wash out clay and flakey bits for ages but it rinsed easily.

Shampoo -lathers well - you really only need a tiny amount of this (10c piece tops). It smells so fresh and leaves your hair feeling, well, normal if that makes sense? There's none of that obvious straw feeling some shampoos leabe.

Conditoner - ahhhhh sooooo luxe. It's a great consistency, not too thick, but not watery enough that it just falls from your hair. Same fresh smell as the mask and shampoo. It leaves your ends super soft, you can feel it immediately!

Dry shampoo - really nice product, you have to get the distance right though - too close and you'll be left a powdery mess! You also need to leave it a couple of minutes before massaging through. Would it replace my usual Batiste? YES!

All up, as a range, I'm really impressed with these products. I managed to get 3 days between washes the first time I used it, and FIVE days from second time, which to me is pretty telling. Going from washing my hair daily, to oil free for almost five days? YES PLEASE!

Tips: The instructions aren't obvious - you have to peel the label on the mask lid. And you'll apply the mask pre-shower, so don't do what I did and take it in there, fiddle with peeling the label and then realising I needed to get out again!

Great value range

I loved some of this range more than others, I liked the shampoo, conditioner, the mask was ok, worked well but was a bit of a fluffing around before washing your hair each time, and the instructions were hard to find and didn't tell you how often to use it. I absolutely hated the dry shampoo, which didn't work for me at all. Overall I liked the range , and will definitely continue to purchase the shampoo and conditioner, not sure if I would bother with the mask tho. I wasn't in love with the smell either, was kind of medicinal, I prefer floral smells, but it wasn't totally offensive.

Tips: Shampoo and conditioner together are a great combination for oily roots and dry ends, at such a reasonable price too.

LOREAL PARIS EXTRAORDINARY CLAY RANGE

I really haven't stuck to a product range before i normally like one or two from one range another piece from another range and so forth but this this has changed my mind completely im gona be sticking with this for a while and for the prices for sure for all the 4 of the products all of them together is near the same price as my purple shampoo so why not. My hair has never felt cleaner after every wash and my hair also has never felt this super soft. And i should mention ive got bleached blonde hair so this works wonders especially when my hairs wet this makes it is super managable i can brush my fingers through without ripping any hair out lol which was usually a problem but this is a main reason why i love. this they also smell so so good. But this is a must i super recommend and a must try.

Tips: You will find my reviews for each of the products in their categories.

Silky but not Oily

Absolutely loved the products in this range and would highly recommend these to all my oily haired ladies out there. After using the mask from this range, I used the shampoo and the smell was very pleasant. Now because I have thick hair with oily roots, I would normally double or triple wash but from the first wash I knew i didn't need much more although I did a double wash out of habit. The texture of the shampoo was smooth lathered very easily. As I washed off the shampoo, my hair didn't feel heavy, it was light and I felt that it had thoroughly cleaned my hair. Most shampoo's that I have tired left my hair feeling silky which added to the oiliness of my scalp. From this shampoo, my hair was left smooth. When my hair had dried, my hair was light and silky without any heaviness. I go to the gym quite frequently and run quite a lot which makes my hair a lot oilier that it usually is but it has been about 4 days now and it is just starting to get a little bit oily. I recommend using the shampoo in conjunction with the Clay Mask and the conditioner as they compliment each other well. Really recommend this product, it works just as well as the Kerastase Specifique that I currently use but a lot cheaper.

Amazing range overall

This was such an exciting range to try out and one that I am thoroughly glad I go to try out since I have such oily hair. The element of clay was very odd at first but I am extremely impressed by how each product worked. I'd classify my hair as having oily roots and pretty limp and dry ends and finding a shampoo and conditioner has always been hard as you don't really get much offer at the drugstore that targets both let alone oily hair. I'd recommend the shampoo and conditioner as a duo for sure and to use the mask if you feel like you have exceptionally oily roots since it's a pre shampoo mask that does sorta help get the oil out as well as give it volume. I've found that during the Winter time I'm fine with just the shampoo and conditioner and just using the dry shampoo every other day.

Tips: Least favourite product is definitely the dry shampoo and would 100% recommend the shampoo itself.

Worth every penny

I'm giving a 7-day review for this shampoo, which I really liked.

Day 1

I used the clay mask then applied shampoo and conditioner afterward. The shampoo is foamy so just apply a little, because a little goes a long way with this one.

Day 2

I didn't use any hair products so I can see the actual results of the shampoo. The result is amazing because before, my hair starts to get oily on day 2 but with this shampoo, my hair didn't get oily at all.

Day 3

I didn't use any hair products again to see the actual results. When I woke up, my hair is getting a BIT oily, just a bit. It stayed like that all day. I'm so impressed with this product!

Day 4

I used the dry shampoo to make my hair fresh throughout the day. It works wonders because the effect is really nice and last long enough for a day. I washed my hair during the night because I want it to be clean again.

Day 5

I didn't use any hair product. I noticed that my hair is beginning to be more manageable and easy to comb. The ends of my hair is not that tangled anymore.

Day 6

I didn't use any hair product. Still, my hair is not oily unlike before. I'm getting to love this product more and more!

Day 7

My final verdict, I washed my hair to make it fresh and clean. I really like the smell of the shampoo, non-irritating and it's thrifty to use because with just a little shampoo your hair will foam a lot!

If you have a really oily hair and don't like to wash your hair every other day like me, then you should give this shampoo a try. I really like it and it does what it says.

A little beauty

Right, so when I got pregnant back in 2013 my hair type changed. Apparently, it's a common pregnancy thing but it was news to me. My easy to care for hair (if slightly sensitive scalp) was gone and in its place I had an oily, greasy, slimeball mess. Two babies within 15 months meant my hair took a hammering and I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to look after this new hair, even though my youngest is now 2.

I've tried ALL the oily hair products, the 'no poo' thang, everything. I found other systems over-stripped my hair of natural oil, which led to it creating more oil to compensate, which led me back to a greasy square one. I've used clay on my face, so why not my hair?

The whole system (clay mask, shampoo, conditioner, and dry shampoo) works beautifully together, but works just as well as separates too. It is effective, easy to use and super affordable. Every product did what it said it would, every product worked perfectly together. My hair was clean, smooth, shiny and manageable (no knots!). I was able to go 4 days without feeling a little oily, normally that happens within 24 hours!

I'm really excited about this range - it's a new essential in my bathroom.

Tips: The whole 4-step Extraordinary Clay system is a wonderful product, but each step can work by itself too.

My new shampoo range

Well I haven't tried L'Oréal before and reading the write up on this my hair ticked all the boxes, I have to wash my hair every day as my roots get oily by the second day yet my ends become like hay. So I got the box of goodies, love the containers although the shampoo and conditioner look exactly the same so you have to read what you use don't just grab it. The clay mask was rather an interesting concept, I've used them in my face but never hair. The clay was cold and I had to figure out how to get it done to my scalp, ended up parting my hair and rubbing it in as you would colouring your roots. Took a while and smelt like clay mixed with hair colouring chemicals so not pleasant. I waited 5 minutes as required before rinsing and following with shampoo and conditioner. I wondered how the clay would rinse out but it rinsed out easily. The shampoo and conditioner both smelt the same, personally I like my hair products to smell yummy. The next morning I woke up to the most luscious head of hair!! Wow, it was awesome. I decided to see how long my hair would go before needing to be washed. Two days later I had a bit of oil so used the dry shampoo which smelt good and fixed the oil look. In the end I felt like washing it on Saturday. So it lasted 4 days. Wow, yay. On Saturday I decided to just use the shampoo and conditioner to try it on its own, my hair needs a wash tonight which is Tuesday so they lasted 2 days, I used the dry shampoo this morning to refresh. I love the way my hair is reacting to the range and am switching to this brand as my favourite. Yay!!

Tips: Treat the clay hair mask as you would a face mask, as a treat for your hair. So take the time, maybe use a comb to part your hair and rally massage it in
