L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut Shampoo Reviews

I have tried a lot of different shampoos, but L'Oreal's Elvive range is one that I often revisit. When I first heard about extraordinary oil, I knew it was one I'd have to try.

The shampoo was a typical moderate consistency and lathered reasonably. Most importantly, it left my hair feeling clean but not stripped.

The shampoo on it's own did exactly what I required, but for me the jury is still out on the range as a whole.

This product definitely does what it says! The smell is divine, and I love the design of the packaging. My only downfall is that after use, even though my hair feels soft and lush, it does feel a little bit heavy after drying, an oily type feel that I wouldn't usually go for. However I still really like this product and will continue using it until I run out :)

This was my go too Shampoo range back a feed years ago. Made my hair feel soft with out stripping my natural oils, tamed my frizz it was just amazing! I still go back to it now that they have taken out the yuckies x Smells so good too x

This a really good size bottle of shampoo for the price. A little goes a very very long way. The bottle itself is really large, but easy to get product out of. There’s no hand grip workouts with dispensing this shampoo.

To use, it takes very little to get a lot of suds, and applying it’s not a heavy feeling shampoo, but you feel like you are getting your hair clean without stripping it of all natural oils. It’s quick to rinse off, and my hair was left feeling incredibly soft and smooth. Definitely not that squeaky clean feeling you get from some shampoo's

It’s got quite a subtle coconut scent to it, which is quite nice. All in all, it’s not a shampoo that wow’d me, but there was nothing bad about the experience either. My hair did feel a little more hydrated than some other ‘nourishing’ shampoo’s I've tried. I have coloured hair, and didn’t see any colour fade and I had used this the day after colouring!

There’s other favourites from L’oreal that I would possibly choose first, mostly based on ingredients, but I wouldn’t snub this as its definitely one of their better ones for dry hair - and delivers on softness like some of my favourites. On it's own it doesn't conquer all my 'dry hair' woes, but as a regime it's got great potential!

The L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut Shampoo is a lovely scented shampoo which will leave your hair clean but not stripped of moisture.

I like the scent as it does not smell too artificial. The formulation lathers well and rinses off pretty easily. I would say it would not suit you if you have you have super oily hair not because the formula is oily but because it is pretty gentle.

the scent of this is quite interesting it is a mix of coconut and caramel with a really slight fresh fruity or floral twist this is not a strong in your face coconut scent like others. I think lovers of caramel or praline fragrances would like the smell of this shampoo. As far Loreal products I went off them for a while as they test on animals but say that they do not which misleads people because for example they own the body shop which also claims to not test on animals yet the additives to source products and things that make up the product could be tested on animals and or not from a sustainable or ethical source. This being said plenty of its competitors test on animals too or sell in china too. I really did love the scent from a conditioner from this line years ago before I changed to silicone/diamenthicone free stuff so that and the double points on Loreal products from BR right now really got me to go out and seek some Loreal brand products to review/. This shampoo is nice enough and appealing with the golden yellow bottle and I have already mentioned how it smells. To start off my hair seems to like the product seems to smooth the hair some what (I did not try the matching conditioner yet) and lathered quite easily - its not sulfate free. I am not fully convinced that this does not strip your hair of natural oils it might just seem that way because coats the hair in " extra ordinary " oil - coconut. Coconut can help smooth but it can clog pores so I won't use this with out alternating between every few washes. I also read some where that if your hair is already dry that coconut might actually not be a good idea Coconut oil can cause protein build up for these hair types, blocking your hair from much needed moisture which makes your hair even drier, stiffer and less elastic. Less elasticity means more breakage when combing or styling. Therefore, using coconut oil as a hair mask can actually make your hair drier, brittle and more damaged than it was before! interesting right? anyway, I am not totally sold on this shampoo though it is nice to use some times I am not in a big rush to get another one.

Holy moly the size of these shampoo and conditioner bottles is crazy. A whopping 325ml. the bottle is easy to grab in the shower and easy to squeeze the product out. The flip top lid is sturdy and doesn’t cut you like some flip tops can.

I have rather dry and abused hair and sometimes some shampoos can be very harsh on my hair and dry it out even more. I normally only stick to salon shampoos and toners so i was excited but nervous to try this shampoo but I was pleasantly surprised.

The clear shampoo has a very slight sweet coconut scent it is mild and in no way over powering. This shampoo doesn’t really lather a lot which is ok. After I rinse it out, my hair does feel clean but almost slightly “squeaky” clean or stripped, it felt strange. I was worried how much conditioner I would have to use just to get it back to ‘normal’ this is probably my most least favourite in this range.

I don’t think I would repurchase this again as I just really didn’t like how it left my hair after I rinsed it out.
