Oily hair game-changer

Brief overview of hair: I have super oily hair, particularly my roots. I normally wash my hair every other day (and double shampoo) because by the end of the second day, my roots are super oily, yet my ends are limp and lacklustre.

I was super excited to try this range. I like that you can tell the products are all from the same range through the packaging, but the shampoo and conditioner look almost identical so be careful what you're reaching for in the shower (especially since I'm short sighted too!)

Clay mask: I have used hair masks before, but usually these were treatments after shampoo and condition, so I was surprised and hesitant about using the mask first. I didn't enjoy the smell much, was a bit chemically to me. I liked that a little bit goes a long way because the tub isn't incredibly huge and I have thick hair so a tub of mask usually doesn't give many uses. I waited 5 minutes before rinsing and following up with shampoo and conditioner.

Shampoo/conditioner: Use only a small amount of shampoo! It lathers up really well, works right in and feels super nice. It also smells amazing - much better than the mask - and lasts even after washing! I found both worked well. My hair felt clean but remained light. It was smooth, silky and manageable. I lasted 3 days before it started feeling a teeny bit heavy.

Dry shampoo: This was my main critique. I have black hair and the white powder definitely stood out for me, requiring quite a bit of effort to hide. I feel that it's effective, so my hair could last another 2 days. I would definitely like it if they developed a brunette option.

Overall: I went 5 full days before needing to wash my hair again, and it actually felt clean, smooth, light, silky and manageable! Love this range and would highly recommend to those with oily hair.

Tips: I thinned out the mask with a bit of water to make it easier to apply!

L'Oreal Extraordinary Clay Range!

A lot of products give big promises but i really do feel that my hair issues have improved now that I am using this range. Ive pretty much always had dry hair, that gets affected by humidity and ends up like a puff ball. Ive used the most hydrating products I can to combat It, but in also in the unfortunate position to have a very oily scalp! Kinda a dilemma there! But hang on to ya britches...I was able to review this range in its entirety and I'm like "what hair issue?" The pretreatment mask has a scent blend between a body shop body butter and earthy goodness. Its real in colour, however dried grey and hard-ish. You apply it to the scalp only before shampooing and its a good to google how to style your newly oil-less hair! It felt a bit thick in places so I adjusted the amounts to a thin application. Felt wierd on,fantastic to remove! Left my hair with a very dry, heavy feeling. I didnt like this But it soon softened once I shampooed.

The Shampoo - the bottle is too similar to the conditioner except sits upright. It has a really pleasant scent and texture, much thicker than the conditioner! A little goes a long way. It thoroughly cleansed and removed the preteatment After the mask and shampoo, my hair felt very stripped of moisture. I wondered if i had over done it,and wondered if i had any colour in my hair! Rest assured, my hair colour was the same!

The conditioner - as I said, quite similar to the shampoo but sits on its lid. Its also a lovely scent and texture, thinner than I was expecting but left my ends (which is where I concerntrated on) feeling very hydrated.

I love dry shampoos and have only recently been made aware of just how versatile they are! (Thanks to BRs cool article on them) . I over did it the first time I used it...instructions say to spray 15cms away from roots...nobody got time to measure that, obviously I underestimated the distance because I ended up with grey streaks! I use this product on the 2nd and 3rd day. It adds freshness and volume. Love it. I also love the size, I can throw it in my handbag!

Overall, I'm pretty rapt to have been able to review this range. I'm going to be repurchasing because I love feeling more in control of my hair, which gives me confidence. Ka pai L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Clay Range!!

Tips: Dont be put off if it feels like its stripping your hair, its just soaking up that pesky oil! Do love your newly balanced hair texture...hydrated not oily! Use all of the products because it makes a different to the overall result. Dont spray dry shamps to close Dont another your hair in the mask...a light application is better Do enjoy feeling confident <3

A Winner!

Oily hair has been mine (and my mother's) problem always, so I was super excited to try this range.

In summary: Love the dry shampoo! Very effective compared to other brands I have used. Great for in between days (which you won't have many of when using this Clay range). Would also be a definite in the bag for a camping trip or when you know washing will be out for a period of time. Instant lift and revitalisation.

Clay Mask: A face pack for your head. I struggled to see the point of this product and have actually forgotten to use it last time I washed my hair....all wet in the shower and then I remembered it. Hard to judge if it works on its own merit because my hair did seem good on the day I forgot to use it anyway. Jury still out really on this aspect of the system.

Shampoo: Lovely smell and a little goes a long way. I use only one lather up and have great results - clean and oil free hair.

Conditioner: I am truely converted back to using a conditioner. Shiney hair and great feeling for days.

I have already recommended this range to my mum. It is effective, affordable and a revelation for my hair. Results are long lasting and I have had three days of oil free hair before I felt the need to wash again. Thank you L'Oreal for creating a system that solves my specific hair issues.

Tips: Use the entire range for best results. It is inexpensive and very effective.

The perfect solution for oily hair and scalps.

The range consists of 4 products - when used together the result is shiny, light feeling hair without the oil build up around your scalp - and it stays this way for days. The range all has a a similar smell - the only one that is a tad more earthy smelling is the mask.

I love the idea of a mask for your scalp. Yes it's messy and a tad tricky to apply, but you use it prior to showering so washing it off is easy. I blobbed it in sections over my head and massaged it into my roots with my finger tips and found that worked well. After 5 minutes it washed off easily in the shower.

The shampoo was thick and lathered well. I only shampooed once as I could feel that my hair and scalp were clean. Normally I shampoo twice using other shampoos but this worked a treat on the first go.

The conditioner I had doubts about - would my dry ends be well moisturised? Would I have to use half the bottle in one go? Yes and no - yes my ends were conditioned and no I didn't have to use much at all. I focused on the mid lengths to ends as directed and was impressed with the result.

After the 3 products I was easily able to comb out my hair. After letting my hair air dry I styled as usual. My head felt lighter - i get headaches which I think is from the weight of my long hair but it amazingly felt a tonne lighter. I also had a lot more root lift that I dont usually get even with freshly washed hair.

Skip forward 5 days and my hair was finally starting to get a little oily - a quick spritz of dry shampoo before bed and voila - another 2 days of oil free hair.

After 7 days I did feel my ends were a little dry, I used some hair oil on the ends and it was better. This could be drying on hair that isn't super oily, or even if over used, I don't think I'd use this range solely for my hair I would mix it up with another shampoo set and alternate them just two as not to overdry my hair and scalp.

Tips: My daughter has acne on her face, back and shoulders - I made her use these products as well as her hair is really greasy - she only used them once and her skin is looking heaps better which I think is from not having an oily mop of hair draped over it.

Can't fault!

Thank you BR for selecting me for this trial! A little background of my personal third-world hair problems..my hair gets extremely oily on top, my hair is thin/limp & my ends are dry - hence I wash & condition my hair daily to keep these things at bay. That means, blow drying & hair straightening everyday too which is all just time consuming & costly. To finally have a range specifically made for oily roots & dry ends, to me, is kind of a big deal!

This range includes a Detox Clay Mask Pre-Shampoo Treatment; Rebalancing Shampoo; Detox Conditioner & Dry Shampoo. I won't divulge into too much detail of each product because we have to review each product individually but more review them as a range.

They are all packaged with the same coloured bottles & slightly darker mint/green lid & all in your typical shampoo/conditioner solid packaging. They all have the same scent too which is a nice refreshing scent which isn't too strong.

These products claim to give you 72hours of fresh & lightweight roots, scalp feels balanced and ends are hydrated. I found that on day 3, my scalp still felt "dry", my ends & top did look a little bit limp - but neither looked dirty. The dry shampoo worked a treat (which I've never experienced with any other dry shampoo), just a spray all over my roots as directed, waiting a couple of minutes before brushing through, styling & my hair looked fresh as the first day of washing - so much so I had no anxiety about leaving the house with my hair down! Oh and I have to mention how shiny my hair still looked.

Overall this range has definitely surprised me, over 15 years of living with oily roots & dry ends I was kind of sceptical about it having not found any product that lived up to their claims! I definitely recommend this range.

Tips: Can't think of anything specific except follow the instructions on the packaging & if you feel like you should shampoo & wash just leave it - the dry shampoo will sort it out (based on my personal experience).

No More Oily Hair

I have very oily & greasy hair. I should be washing my hair every day but being a lazy person, I do it every other day. Which means hair gets tied on the unwashed days. I was quite excited when I read about L'Oreal Clay hair care range. And couldn't wait to try it. And am so glad I did. Masque - It looked different from other masques I have used. But boy, was it fantastic. It smells a lot like the clay masque I apply on my face, kind of earthy. The texture is a bit slimy and applying was a bit of an experience. My hair was quite stiff after the application. I waited 5 minutes as per the instructions. Shampoo - I am quite used to using shampoos with fragrance. This one had none and its not a bad thing. I didn't need to use much, just a dollop. There is a lot of foam, felt a bit heavier than other shampoos. But hair felt soft once washed and not snappy as with other shampoos Conditioner - Like the shampoo, no fragrance. Didn't need to use much. Washed off the hair and once almost dry, straightened it. I was so impressed with the result. They felt light, luscious and beautiful. Best part is I didn't need to wash them again till the 3rd day. That is so amazing. I absolutely love this range. I used the shampoo/conditioner with & without the masque. The result was the same. Also, reduction in hair fall. The shower drain hole had less hair than normal. And lastly, I use a product when I use a straightener or a blow dryer. But I didn't have to use anything after using these fantastic clay products. One less thing to worry about. Dry Shampoo - This was the only product that wasn't effective on my hair. I am currently using a product I bought from US which gives my hair a lot of volume. Whereas the L'Oreal product didn't. It made it a little less oily but I did have to put up my hair. I couldn't leave them open. So overall a big tick to the masque, shampoo & conditioner but no to the Dry Shampoo.

Tips: These products can be used separately and don't need to be used together.

Combination Hair, Nightmare No More!

Like my combination skin, my hair becomes oily at the roots very quickly while the ends remain quite dry, so I was over the moon when I was picked to trial L’Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range.

Firstly, the L’Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range consists of 4 products which are a Detox Clay Mask, Rebalancing Shampoo, Detox Conditioner and a Dry Shampoo and come in eye-catching, aqua blue colour, sturdy packaging. Both the Rebalancing Shampoo and the Detox Conditioner have flat lids that open and close easily and the product dispensed, is easily controlled. The whole range has a gorgeously fresh, light smell.

To start with, I used the Detox Clay Mask which is a pre-shampoo treatment and designed to be used once or twice a week. The product is the same aqua blue colour as the packaging and is of a thick consistency. The Clay Mask works by absorbing excessive oils and impurities, thoroughly cleansing the scalp and removes any product build-up that tends to weigh hair down. I massaged plenty of this clay masque into my roots using my fingertips, left it for 5 minutes and then rinsed off ready to apply the Rebalancing Shampoo. At this stage, my hair felt clean, refreshed and the product was soothing to my scalp.

I massaged the Rebalancing Shampoo into my scalp using my fingertips causing the shampoo to lather up nicely. The Rebalancing Shampoo is not too thick and not too watery, a perfect shampoo consistency and washed out easily leaving no residue.

Next, I applied the Detox Conditioner, paying particular attention to my dry ends. I left the conditioner on my hair for 3 minutes before combing through and then rinsed leaving my dry ends feeling hydrated, softer and tangle free.

After blow drying, my hair felt super clean, light and so lovely and soft and after 72 hours, just a tiny bit of oil on my fringe (I expect from the oily skin on my forehead), so I gave the Dry Shampoo a go. I sprayed my hair with the product which dispensed as a fine mist and left for 2 minutes, after which I brushed through leaving no trace of any powder or residue whatsoever. Just lovely, clean, shiny hair :).

Tips: Apply the Detox Conditioner to mid lengths and ends.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range

Overall not 100% for me, BUT perfect for Miss 14 with wild greasy hormones, it is so perfect for her and I will buy it for her :) If my Hair wasn't coloured red with red lust semi pigment colour lengths and ends it would be perfect for me too.

I will continue to repurchase the Dry Shampoo as it's the best I've ever used!! Thank you :) And once again I'm inlove with the fragrance

Amazing range

I feel like this range is perfect for my hair. I'm so glad I got to trial this product for BR. I haven't found any other hair range that cleans the scalp thoroughly without leaving me with dry brittle hair. The range has extended the time between washes by an extra day (so every third or fourth day) and even when I do wash my hair I feel that it's more to rinse and wash out any residue or dust rather than because my scalp is feeling very icky. I have tried the entire range in one go and also separately substituting with my hair products. I find that the clay masque makes the most difference but the system does work better when all the products are used together

Tips: If there is one product you would buy, definitely try the clay masque. Massage the masque slowly into your scalp and take your time!
