Light and fresh hair

Give this a try if you have fine hair and oily roots. This is a great weekend treat when you have time for an extra beauty step. I was a little unsure the first time I bought one of these masks but I'm now on to my second tub. I have quite oily roots and this claims to absorb oil before you shampoo and I tell you it works! Leave it on for 5 minutes or so after massaging into the scalp and shampoo off. My fine hair feels light, less heavy with oil and you get that kaolin/clay smell throughout the day which is not unpleasant and reminds you the product has worked. If you want a volume-day this is your product.

plain weird

weird because i can't decide if i like it or not. i think i do but then other times i wonder.

my hair isn't an oil slick, so this mask isn't really targeted for me but it was on sale and i couldn't resist buying. the big bright REDUCED sticker on the label pulled me in. i'm a sucker for that sticker.

i waited until i needed to shampoo again, which wasn't a long wait. my hair was still passable as normal but i felt like i'd been plunged into BPs great oil spill blunder like all the poor wildlife had been. instructions are simple, apply to the scalp and let sit. easier said than done with unicorn hair.

like most masks, i knew this would wash out my color. i was NOT wrong. where this touched my bright hair, the color had all but faded into a light pastel, which was annoying as i hadn't long since redyed. it was also a bit of a pain to maneuver into hair because of my colorful predicament, but i managed to get the worst affected.

rinsed out, shampooed out and conditioned, my hair felt pretty awesome. the next time i tried it i didnt bother shampooing it out, i just put conditioner straight over. and you know, it worked even better. this was probably my preferred method of use, even if it did fade my hair slightly.

this is a weird but kinda good product. i dont think id purchase again as i wasnt a huge fan of the smell (herbally, medicinal... weird) but it did work. so. i guess i liked it!

Not quite right

I liked the idea of this mask - some ground work rather than an after treatment. I'm a multi-task kind of girl, so I thought Bingo, found a pre-treatment I can use once a week that can sit in place whilst I fine tune my eyebrows! I liked it's nice thick texture, it was soothing to massage in, and it gave some good lift at the roots post shower. But it didn't stop the oily roots at the 48 hour mark. I'd use it again because of the volume it gave my roots, and to finish the tub. But I'd look an alternative for a longer lasting result.

Tips: Section hair similar to a stylist applying colour.

Not for me...

I always feel bad when I place a bad review or even a slightly below average review. I have tried this product and I keep trying to see if it will get better but for my hair it just didnt do anything for me. I have natural hair on the top and bleach blionde ends.... think ombre but really grown out. I get oily roots when it is close to wash day and I wash my hair twice a week.

This was almost impossible for me to get my head around (user error people) because it looks like a treatment tub and it is a pre shampoo! The first time I got this order all wrong despite reading the instructions first. As soon as I got into the shower my brain took over and was like "treatment goes last" hahaha - epic fail!

Once I got it right......It has a pleasant clean smell (I am more of a OMG fruit or OMG sweet tasty wonder smell fan myself). I believe this product is the reason I did not need my two shampoos as per usual. I was able to get away with one shampoo.

But like the shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling bla or heavier? I can not pin point which of these made my hair feel like this, only that the combo ended up with my hair feeling heavier and weird.

It did remove the oil but it left my hair feeling bla. I do not need help feeling bla! By day 3 my hair was oily and gross perhaps more than usual. I think this really didnt agree with my hair type.

I did give it a good try and it did do what it said it would. It just also made my hair heavier and feel weird.

Tips: Read the instructions to avoid user errors like mine ;)

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE clay mask

I was lucky enough to trial this hair mask from part of the elvive clay range. The packaging is light blue and is standard packing for a hair mask. This mask does have a strong salty clay smell to it which I found pleasant.

I applied the mask to the roots of my hair and left on for 5 minutes as directed and then rinsed off. Following this I used the clay shampoo and conditioner.

After using the mask my hair did feel light and oil free however this lightness only lasted for a day or so before my hair started to feel oily.

Overall this is an average mask and in my opinion doesn't do much more than using the shampoo and conditioner alone.

Brace decision

I was first reluctant to try this mask as the thought of a mask on head was a bit scary. I used it and it did what it says and had beautiful hair after the final wash. I had more shine and volume. The heir are more manageable and soft. It is not oily and smells good. My husband likes touching it. My daughter also tried it who has very oily hair and it worked well on her too and for the first time she didn't had to wash the next day. Very nice:)

Tips: Use only as needed

Smells nice but not much else

I trialled this product and intitally I was excited, but the novelty quickly wore off. I found this product messy and to be honest I didn't notice too much difference regarding my oily roots. On a positive note it smelt devine and didn't dry out my hair as I was expecting clay to do.

Tips: I feel it's a wasted and ineffective step

Nice product but not sure if its worth it?

I was fortunate enough to be in the trial for this product and out of the whole range this was the only thing that let me down..... The packaging is really nice and the whole product range smells like a sea breeze.

The Hair mask 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? Whilst I would recommend the rest of the products in this range, this is a hard pass for me.

Mask Away

I had the opportunity to try this very product. When i found out that i the L'Oreal Elvive Clay Range was posted to me I purposely did not was my hair for a couple days so by the time it arrived i was ready to put it straight to the test. I was impressed by this first step as it did exactly what it said on the packaging. The result was that the oil and dirt build-ups on my scalp be lifted away by the clay solution. Not only did it remove the unwanted, but it also left my scalp feeling incredibly fresh, lite, clean and smelling of clay before even using the shampoo.

Tips: Don't hold back in using this, put as much on your fingertips and massage straight on scalp.

Weird - and I like it

Ok, a clay mask for hair. How does this even get passed the ideas phase?! I mean, its bizarre right? Clay to put in your hair?

Lets start with the negatives. I don't like big pots, I find them cumbersome to hold and open. You have to peel the label back to read the instructions. So unless someone tells you, you won't know you need to apply this to dry hair, pre shower.

Other than those niggles, it's a really neat product to use. You apply it to your roots, kind of like when you're touching up your roots with colour. Leave for 5 mins and rinse before shampooing and conditioning.

The mask is pale blue and smells the same as the rest of the range. It rinses out really easy, this is not like when you have a stubborn clay mask on your face - no skin pulling or overly abrasive scrubbing needed!

And...it WORKS! The first use I went 3 days before I had to wash (usually a daily washer!) and the second use I went 5 days before washing again. How crazy is that?!

For the price this is a great product, especially as it technically saves you money in the long run on all that shampoo and conditioner you'd be saving!

Tips: Read the instructions before getting into the shower!
