Clay range

I am cursed with oily hair, that I need to wash to wash my hair every day, and at a stretch maybe every second day, which tends to be a bit greasy up top and frizzy elsewhere. So a product promising to help with this is exciting

Together the four products - Clay Mask, Shampoo, Conditioner, and Dry Shampoo - combined extended my need for washing my hair out to three days. That has never happened before.

I decided to do a wee experiment to work out what from that range helped: 1) I started out using just the shampoo and conditioner - lasted a day and a bit. Wished I had rewashed on Day 2. 2) Used the mask, shampoo, conditioner - lasted two days without needing a wash. 3) Used the shampoo, conditioner, and dry shampoo - lasted three days. 4) Used all four products - lasted three days.

In scenarios 3 and 4 my hair looked clean, not greasy or frizzy. It did however not feel so great to touch - kind of stiff. But only having to wash my hair three days will really help cut down the time I need to get ready in the mornings. Great for a non-morning person!

My favourite product from the range was the dry shampoo - great for maintaining that fresh look. Not sure the clay mask added too much value.

Tips: Use all four products, or at least the shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo for best results

Extraordinary Clay Range

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this range thank you BR.

This range consists of four steps / products which have all been reviewed separately.

Step 1: The Extraordinary Clay Hair Mask. Step 2: The Extraordinary Clay Rebalancing Shampoo. Step 3: The Extraordinary Clay Detox Conditioner. Step 4: The Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo.

I was super excited and eagerly awaited the arrival of these goodies! My roots are extremely oily and my hair typically needs to be washed every two days which frustrates me.

All in all this range definitely helped with prolonging of washing my hair. With this range I can last upto four days instead of the normal two days. In saying that, throughout the fourth day I have to reapply the Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo multiple times as I personally don't feel step four works too great unfortunately.

I personally feel like I achieved roughly 60 hours of fresh and light weight roots. Not the 72 that this range claims to give you however I am very happy with how soft and shiny my hair looked after using step 1-3.

I would highly recommend and will definitely be purchasing the first three products in this range when required.

Tips: Use the mask as a little treat weekly on your hair. It definitely helps with the 72 hour claim of fresh and light roots.

Oily roots no more

My hair is coloured blonde and I would describe it as being oily in the roots and dry/damaged on the end. I normally wash my hair every second day, but that's only because I blast my hair with loads of dry shampoo. I was very excited to try this product as I was hopping it could help me ween of the reliance on dry shampoo.

Clay mask- amazing fresh aqua like scent. The texture was pretty thick and I found it took some time for me to work it through my thick hair. I found it worked the best when I put it in prior to my shower and let it sit in there for 15 minutes. Rinsed easiler without making my hair feel dry (which I was expecting).

Shampoo- thick texture which lathered very easily, no need for double shampooing like other products I've used in the past. Same lovely smell.

Conditioner- light product, same nice smell. Left my hair feeling smooth and moisturised.

Dry shampoo- nice smell, however not my favourite product. It didnt live up to my expectations. I used it day 2 and 3, and it didn't absorb the oil as well as it should have.

Overall I really liked this range, the smell was Devine and very clean feeling-without leaving it dry. The combination of the pre shampooing treatment and shampoo/conditioner worked well together and I noticed a difference in my oil production day 2 and 3.

Obsessed!

I was so keen to test they products out as I suffer from very oily roots and always have to wash my hair almost everyday or second day at least. This range consists of four products to be used together to help reduce oiliness. Item 1: Pre-shampoo clay mask which for me I didn't find that it made a huge difference to my hair.

Item 2: Clay shampoo which left my hair feeling very clean.

Item 3: Clay conditioner which helped made my hair become tangle free and smooth.

Item 4: Clay dry shampoo which really helped between washes to stop my hair from getting too oily.

Using all of these products together allowed me to not have to wash my hair everyday, I could go two days after washing my hair before I felt like it was too greasy to leave another day. I think I will be using these products again as they are quite inexpensive and work quite well.

Clay range

Over all I love this range! I was excited to be selected to review the whole range free of charge which I'm so grateful to beauty review for. I do get oily roots and dry ends but with the help of this amazing range I feel illiminated the oilyness. My hair smelt amazing, my hair felt clean and healthy, hair has bounce, not weighed down. Would definitely use again in the future

Tips: Best used with the whole range together to get the best benefits

Oil be Gone!

My hair usually gets oily within few hours after washing my hair, so I was excited to get chosen to trial the L’oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay range. The range consists of 4 products; the detox clay mask, rebalancing shampoo, detox shampoo and dry shampoo.

Before I hopped into the shower, I scooped a little detox clay mask with my fingers and massaged it onto dry roots on my scalp. I did this with every section of my hair and left it on for 5 minutes. I found that even though the texture of the mask is thick, it was very easy to massage it into my scalp. Once I’ve given enough time for the clay mask to soak in, I washed it off in the shower in a massaging motion until the water ran clear. While I was washing my hair in running water I noticed, the greasy and oily feel my hair had before I applied the mask was gone. I followed my hair washing ritual with the shampoo and conditioner in the same range. I’ve also used the shampoo and conditioner without using the clay mask and I found the clay mask makes a significant difference to the oiliness of my hair.

I tried the rebalancing shampoo after I’ve used the clay mask and followed the instructions on the bottle. I have medium length hair, so I used about $2 coin amount of shampoo. I massaged it into wet hair, covering my whole scalp and rinsed it out until the water ran clear. Often with other shampoos, I had to wash my hair twice in the shower because I could still feel the oil in my hair. With the rebalancing shampoo my hair felt very clean and oil free after one wash. I then followed it with the hair conditioner of the same range.

I applied the detox conditioner after I applied the rebalancing shampoo and followed the instructions on the bottle. It doesn’t say how much to use, so I squeezed two pea size amount into my palm and applied the conditioner onto my hair, only focusing from the mid-length to the ends of my hair. I left it into my hair for about 2-3 minutes and washed it out until the water ran clear. My hair was very soft after I washed it.

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 15 cm 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 and uncomfortable.

I liked using the detox clay mask, rebalancing shampoo and detox conditioner for my hair washing ritual as my hair felt very light and soft while leaving my hair smelling lovely. The best part was, my hair was oil free for 2 days. I wouldn’t use the dry shampoo again at all because it made my hair and scalp in a horrible condition.

Tips: Use the detox clay mask, rebalancing shampoo and detox conditioner for the best results for oil free hair.

A really nice hair care range

I was fortunate enough to be in the trial for this product and I can say I really liked it! The packaging is really nice and the whole product range smells like a sea breeze.

Hair mask: this is a really thick green colour (same colour as the packaging). I found it a little difficult to apply as I have a lot of hair. It was difficult to get it into the scalp rather than just on my hair. This product is meant to help balence your scalp and I did notice my roots were less oily and my scalp felt nice, but I can't say it was so amazing that I would purchase this. Perhaps if you have really oily hair (more than mine) it would make a difference?

Shampoo: love the shampoo, you don't need to apply a lot as this lathers up sooooooooo much. Smells awesome and leaves my hair feeling nice and clean afterwards. I can defiantly see this shampoo becoming my go to. Easily one of the best supermarket shampoos I've tried.

Conditioner: The conditioner accompanying this shampoo is really nice, I applied it to the middle of my hair and ends as directed. It has defiantly helped with dry ends, they have basically disappeared. I can tie my hair up in a bun (which normally dries out the ends so badly) and my hair is as good as new. Would defiantly recommend this with the shampoo.

Dry Shampoo: I was really impressed with this, dare I say I think I like it better than my Batiste dry shampoo? this doesn't leave a weird white film in the hair like the batiste does. Shamefully I have gone almost a whole week without washing my hair due to the magic of this dry shampoo. This dry shampoo is like magic on your hair.

Over all I really like this range, my hair is soft and shiny and not nearly as frizzy. I would defiantly purchase the shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo. They only thing I feel that wasn't as good as the rest of the range is the hair mask, and that's not to say it wasn't good, just not as good. Perhaps it just isn't right for my hair. If you have super oily hair give it a go and it may work better for you.

For the price point, this range is awesome, make sure you check it out!

Tips: When applying the hair mask split your hair into sections (with hair ties) for easier application

Clay Range

I am a girl who usually washes her hair every day as I have very oily roots and hate the look of it. since using the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range i have been able to go 2-3 days between washes. I will definitely be using this range again!

All 4 of the products have the same clean, fresh smell that is gorgeous. The aqua packaging is very appealing too. I started off by using the Pre-Shampoo Clay mask. The custard like cream came in a rather large tub and was easily applied once you got the hang of it. Initially a bit messy and time consuming trying to segment hair to ensure to only get it in the roots. Once rinsed out I followed with the shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo lathered excellently and a little amount went along way. Once washed out, my hair felt cleansed and almost squeaky to touch. I used the conditioner only on the lower half of my hair, avoiding the roots. It made my hair feel very moisturised and silky to touch. Once dry, my hair looked very shiny, bouncy at the roots and was soft to touch. It was easy to style and there seemed to be less knots in it than usual. The dry shampoo I liked the least out of the 4 products as it only removed a small proportion of oil residue and found it left my hair quite damp after using it. However on a positive it did not leave any powdery residue like other dry shampoos do and smelt amazing. Overall I recommend this product range for anyone like me with oily roots that wants to make them a thing of the past!

LOVE some, not so much others.

This is a really interesting range and an awesome concept to address oily roots while still moisturising, the range in general totally did this.

I LOVE the shampoo and conditioner, they rival my salon brands and I will absolutely repurchase. The pre-shampoo clay mask I could take or leave, it seems to work but it's pretty cumbersome. The dry shampoo unfortunately didn't work for me so I won't repurchase.

I love the shampoo and conditioner so much that they are the influence for my high rating. It has been such a joy to find a product the controls oil without stripping and leaves my damaged ends feeling really soft and hydrated.

I have reviewed each individual item in detail but as a range, if you suffer oiliness, I would absolutely recommend giving this a go including the pre-shampoo mask!

Tips: Give yourself ample time if using the clay mask and skip the dry shampoo.

The Range

Well, I am actually quite impressed! When I first read about the range I thought, "How can it work on both dry ends and oily roots?" It doesn't make sense from the other ranges that we have seen.

There weren't too many downsides for me, so I'll quickly note them. The scent was a bit strong for me, the mask could do with some more instructions and the dry shampoo wasn't for me at all.

The plusses were many though. Using less shampoo to get a better effect seems like a win of course, and using less conditioner because you are focusing more on the ends is good. I like the mask, it extends the oil free time for a bit longer, although it's a bit of a pain to do so I'm not sure if I will continue with that part very often.

My hair has felt light, soft and smooth - I don't often get this as usually, a shampoo tries to combat one issue at a time. It really does extend out the time between hair washes, that's something that is a little hard to get used to. It's ingrained in me that I need to wash my hair frequently to get rid of the oil. 2 of my friends have complimented me on my hair looking healthy, if other people are noticing that it's taming the oil but hydrating the ends - it's a total win for me!

Tips: Simply - if you have oily roots, give this a go!
