Light and refreshing!

My hair type: I have oily roots and dry ends so I am definitely the right demographic for this hair care range. I used to wash my hair every day, but in recent years I have trained my hair so it only needs to be cleaned 2-3 times a week.

I got stuck into these products as soon as they arrived. It had been a few days since I had washed my hair, so it was the perfect time to trial this range. I love the light teal colour and the overall look of this packaging. The smell is probably my favourite thing about this range. It's very refreshing which nicely counteracts the oily smell that hair can have when it hasn't been washed.

After using the mask, shampoo, and conditioner I blow dried my hair. My hair felt lighter and softer than it usually does. I definitely felt refreshed and my hair was more voluminous.

I didn't apply any other hair products while trialing this range so my review would be accurate. Usually I use an oil at the ends of my hair to keep them hydrated. Even without an oil, my hair still felt hydrated and it looked shiny. In the future I'll still continue to use an oil, but it's nice to know I don't necessarily need one with this range.

I managed to go without washing my hair for a total of five days, which is incredible! Usually the day after washing my hair is when the oiliness starts to return, but not with this range. I first decided to use the dry shampoo on Day 3. It wasn't that my hair looked oily, I was just super keen to try the dry shampoo. On Day 4 I used the dry shampoo again and my hair still looked like it had been freshly washed. By Day 5 my hair was feeling heavy with product, so I finally decided to wash it again.

Overall this range really does work at keeping the roots light and leaving the ends hydrated. I would definitely buy the mask, shampoo, and conditioner again. The dry shampoo wasn't the best I've tried so I probably won't repurchase it. Definitely try this range if you're struggling with oily roots and dry ends! I doubt you'll regret it!

Goodbye Oily Roots

Overall this range works as stated. My hair is coloured and I often struggle with oily roots and dry ends. After using the mask, shampoo & conditioner and allowing my hair to dry, I could see and feel the difference. It was shiny, soft and smelling fabulous! Brushing my hair wet or dry was not a problem. I did not need to use any other products as I sometimes would have to get the brush through my long locks. For me, the results lasted 24-36 hours and not the 72 hours they claim. It would be a better statement to say they work 'up to' not 'for' 72 hours. The packaging colour choice for this range is an aqua green, not the natural colour you would expect for something with '3 types of precious clay' in my opinion. All products were easy to handle, open and close. The shampoo and conditioner have good flat lids to ensure the do not fall over. They are easy to open and close with one hand. The fragrance was pleasant in all except the Detox Clay Mask where the clay smell had almost overpowered it completely. It gave it a more earthy smell which is what I would expect from a clay product. Overall, I would say this range does what it says but for how long will depend on each individual. I would recommend this to anyone who suffers from oily roots and dry ends.

Tips: Sit the clay mask in a warm place before use to help get an even application. The instructions for the Mask are under the sticker on the lid. Don't wear black clothing when using the dry shampoo as it leaves white marks if you over spray.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range

Thank you BR for the opportunity to test and review the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range. As someone with both oily roots and dry ends, this range appealed to me. I am always on the look out for new products that will either absorb the oil in my roots or give moisture to the ends of my damaged hair so I was excited to try this range. Out of the 4 products from the range I really like 3 of the products and would happily use them again. The only product I found disappointing was the dry shampoo as I felt it didn't absorb the oils from my roots and the can was smaller than I expected. Both the shampoo and conditioner worked well and I found that I could go an extra day without washing my hair. I really enjoyed using the clay mask as it was something I had never tried before. I found the concept interesting and loved having my hair feel super refreshed after washing it. Only downside to the clay mask was you needed to use a lot of product so you would only get about 4-5 uses from the container. Overall I am impressed with the range and give it a 4/5.

The Good and the Bad

Thank you Beauty Review for my place in the trial for the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range. I was very excited to be picked for this and loved experimenting with the products. The thing that stands out for me are the shampoo and the conditioner. The smell is magical and lingers long after you have been washing your hair. The hair feels light and has more volume and you can extend out the period before you need another wash (from 2 to 3 days for me). You only need a small amount of product , which means price is reasonable because it will go a long way. I was a bit disappointed about the delivery of the mask and dry shampoo and would only use them occasionally.

Pretty good!

Overall I really enjoy this range, it delivers on keeping my hair oil free for longer and didn't weigh my hair down. I think as a range all the products work together really well , with both the shampoo and dry shampoo being stand outs for me. The conditioner is probably my least favourite, as it doesn't give quite enough moisture for me but I see how it would work for people with less hair and thickness as me . The price point of the range is great, it offers something that I think other supermarket brands haven't been able to , as a lot of others I have used get rid of the oil but completely strip my hair leaving it like straw. Or leave my hair so heavy that by the next morning i'm like a grease slick. The dry shampoo is a game changer for me, I use a lot of dry shampoo, and I love the non residue formula so I don't look like a powdery mess. The only thing I would say they could add would be a mask to apply to mid lengths and ends for people with extraordinarily thick long hair like mine that needs that little bit extra moisture without weighing the hair down.But loving being able to go from everyday or every 2nd day washing to every 3 days. HAPPY DAYS!!

Nothing extraordinary but it does the job!

The set seemed to work right after I used it first time. However, I didn't notice a huge difference. I thought the more I use it, the better my hair would be. But that wasn't the case. Here's what I did: I used the clay mask as directed. I then washed it out and used shampoo as I would use any other shampoo. I then conditioned my hair using the conditioner as I would use any other conditioner. I used the dry shampoo once a day (in the morning) for 3 days after the wash. On the third day, I REALLY needed to wash my hair again.

The scent of all the products is SO FRESH and I loved it! It made me feel so fresh and clean. For the price, I would regularly buy and use the shampoo and conditioner. The clay mask didn't make much of a difference to my hair as I though it would, so ditch that! And I didn't really see the need of using dry shampoo (I never really was one to use dry shampoo and it's too much of a hassle with my thick hair). So I will switch the my current shampoo and conditioner for this set but no mask and dry shampoo for me. Would I recommend? Yes, why not. The brand is trusted and not expensive at all. It's worth a try, it leaves hair very clean and works to an extent. My hair is not as oily as it used to be but it didn't last as long as I thought it would. I don't really wash my hair less often with these products but my hair feels better.

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.

Elvive Extraordinary clay range

I was very excited to be chosen for this trial and keen to try it out. By the time it arrived I just had a week to trial it so I hope that is enough to give it a good chance. 1. Clay mask - I found this quite messy and fiddly to apply, it took time to get a good coverage all over so is something you need to set aside time for. But it was easy to rinse out though which was good. I've used it twice now and while I can see a small improvement in my oiliness it certainly wasn't the miracle product I expected.

2. Shampoo - I really liked this shampoo and will most likely use it again. It left my hair feeling light and clean which is something I find hard to get in many shampoos.

3. Conditioner - This was my favourite of the 4 products and one I will definitely purchase again. It felt so lovely to apply and left my hair feeling so soft and silky. It was really easy to brush and style after as well.

4. Dry shampoo - The best part of this product was the smell. It doesn't leave a white film on your hair like other dry shampoos I've used but I'm mixed as to whether it's any good or not. I will give it a few more trys to really decide if I'd buy it again.

Overall the packaging of these products is great, such a pretty colour and wonderful that the bottles have flat lids and can be stood upside down (I dislike having to shake a bottle like mad to get anything out of it). One week probably wasn't enough time to give these products a fair go so I will continue using them to see how it goes. It wasn't the oil-be-gone miracle I was hoping for but it has made some difference. The shampoo and conditioner I will more than likely buy again but am undecided on the mask and dry shampoo

L'Oreal Clay Range

I was super excited to be chosen for this trial team and to get all 4 products was awesome because it's not often that I go out and buy an entire range, I usually just buy the shampoo and conditioner. The clay mask I am not completely sold on/not sure if it is necessary, I feel like it did make my hair feel nice, but not sure if it made a difference to the overall oiliness. I did really like the shampoo as I felt it didn't leave my hair feeling dry before I put the conditioner in which I find a lot of other shampoos does. The conditioner was really nice and I would repurchase this again as I love the feeling of my hair after and the smell was really lovely too. As for the dry shampoo, it smelt amazing and I would use it just for the smell it left in my hair and how long it stuck around for! I kept thinking I was getting a whiff of someones perfume each time I smelt it, but I this didn't perform to how I thought it would and didn't hold up to others I have tried in the past.

Tips: The conditioner goes a long way, so don't squeeze out too much! Also, probably best to use the whole range to get the most out of this product.

Tried but missed the mark

I am cursed with lots of thin hair which is oily at the roots and dry/damaged at the ends and because of this my hair can neither be washed too often or my ends dry out OR left too long before washing. What usually happens is I get 1 day of beautiful clean hair that can be left down, then it goes into a pony tail, then into a bun before having to 're-wash. If it's really not behaving it's tight in bun after 1 day.

Now I would like to start with what I loved about this range: the packaging is gorgeous all aqua blue/green across the whole range, the scent is lovely and fresh like walking into a high end salon and the price is fantastic value for money. However from here my results varied. Out of the 4 products in the range I would repurchase 2 - the mask & the shampoo, I would definitely not repurchase the Dry shampoo and lastly the conditioner I would use again but wouldn't actively seek out. (Pleas see my more in-depth reviews for each product)

Over all the range claims to keep my oily roots at bay and my hair light and fresh for 72hrs but that sadly is not what I experienced.

When I used the pre-shampoo clay mask, the shampoo & then the conditioner at best I got 2 days of wear before I really needed to wash my hair again OR start my tying up routine. 1 extra day is all I got being able to leave my hair down but I had to really think about not touching it. The dry shampoo was the worst for me, it speed up my need to wash my hair instead of prolonging it.

So over all, like I said I think they have really tried but it has just missed the mark for me.
