L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Conditioner Review

I'd read a few reviews about this product and although i don't have very oily hair, i thought that my hair was prone to be quite itchy on the second day/day of needing a wash so I bought this and tried it out and thought that it was quite good and did what it said it would.

The smell that I'd read that was 'overpowering' and chemical smelling, i didn't find to be that strong or chemical smelling. I found that the smell was quite subtle and you don't really pick up unless you were smelling it for ages.

But anyways. I thought it was a good conditioner and although didn't provide me with immediate silky soft hair, after blowdrying, it was manageable and very nice and the smell i quite liked too. I no longer had itchy scalp/hair on the second day after washing so I think it wasn't as oily as it usually got. I also used this for a week so it wasn't just the one-off use.

I was impressed by the consistency of this product and it smells really nice with a natural feel. I use this after using the shampoo and leave it on for about 3-5mins so my hair can absorb the product well. This works wonders because it really made my hair so smooth and manageable, it really did hydrate my ends which I really like because I have really dry ends because of hair coloring.

The only downside of this product was the effect on my scalp, I had dandruff because of this. Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong or the product doesn't suit me that much? It can also be that I accidentally didn't wash it well? I tried this product again today and I tried not putting any conditioner on my roots and I think that is better. Any thoughts? Am I the only one who experienced this?

This conditioner smells great and is easy to apply. It complements the Loreal Clay hair care range and works well with the shampoo, to give voluminous, bouncy, light and fresh hair. After Shampoo, I would recommend applying a generous amount to your hair, focusing on the roots and leaving for 2-3mins before washing off for silky, smooth and manageable hair.

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.

The Clay Shampoo can be a bit drying (probably because it is stripping out the oils), so the conditioner is definitely needed. It is easy to apply and rinse out, and also made combing my hair easy too. It is quite thick like the shampoo, so using too much weighed my hair down a bit. Lesson learned! It did leave my hair soft and silky - though this wears off by days 2 and 3 (though probably due to using the dry shampoo).

I love the turquoise/aqua colour of the bottle, but I do prefer see through bottles so I can see how much product I have left. And even though the shampoo and conditioner bottles are different in that one sits upright and vice versa, they are still too similar and I would still get them mixed up. Maybe just too early in the morning for me.

Overall it is a good conditioner. Not sure if on it's own it would help with oily roots but is designed to be used in conjunction with the mask, shampoo, and dry shampoo. For those reviews - check them out under those products.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this range thank you BR. I have very oily roots so was eager to see if this could make a difference. I typically have to wash my hair every second day.

It comes in a aqua colored bottle that stands upside down. It has a lovely scent and the consistency is thick and white.

Just like any conditioner, apply to your mids to ends of hair. Leave for a couple of minutes and then rinse throughly.

It was easy to rinse out and left my hair silky smooth with no knots. Once my hair was dry, it looked extremely soft and had a lovely shine.

I would recommend

Soooo, I went a bit crazy and bleached my hair three times. So although my roots are still oily my ends are fried. This light-weight conditioner was more than able to sort it out, while not giving my hair a filmy coating. This is due to the lack of silicones, which a lot of people are starting to avoid in their hair and skin products.

Pretty fresh scent, which is not too floral or that would overpower my body fragrance. I'm going to get my partner to try this, to see if it works just as well for male hair (very long, thick).

This was my absolute favourite of the four products. The product has a subtle pleasant smell and feels so silky. It goes onto the hair easily and immediately makes it feel softer and less frizzy at the ends. It rinses out reasonably well and I was very impressed with how soft and smooth my hair was afterwards. It was easy to brush and style and felt light and clean. I was really impressed with this conditioner and think it will become a regular purchase.

Was super excited to try out the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay range as I have oily roots + dry ends and the fact that it has 'clay' in the name intrigued me. I like the packaging and it's easy to use. I applied only to the ends of my hair as I always do and found that my hair felt so soft and moisturized. I really liked this conditioner as it contains no silicone's and left my hair feeling fresher for longer without weighing it down. I usually wash my hair every second day but found that I can go 3 days now.

This is a lovely edition to the Extraordinary Clay range, its light, nourishing and smells delicious! I was surprised at how much thinner than the shampoo it was. However, it left my hair looking and feeling so gorgeous! I can quite happily go 3-4 days without washing my hair, for me thats quite amazing...previous to using this product it was every 2nd day. I highly recommend this range to anyone who has to put up with oily hair! I only use the conditioner on the ends of my hair whereas i only use the shampoo on my scalp.

Like the shampoo , this product has a slightly medicinal smell, which I don't love but its not offensive. It is a creamy consistency and you only need a little through the dry lengths and ends of your hair. It does a good job of giving a nice moisturised finish without weighing the hair down too much. My brush went through my wet hair without any problem, which impressed me, as I thought that after cleansing it with the Clay shampoo it might be a bit dry, but the Clay conditioner is a perfect match to the shampoo. I really like these two together.
