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!!

Bye Bye Oil!

I can't go 24 hours without washing my hair. When I try I end up feeling like I've been bathed in oil. Most unpleasant. So I was very excited to try this range.

The clay was so interesting to use - it's thick, has a potent but enjoyable smell, and it took quite a while to work it into my hair. I thought because of this it would be hard to rinse out, yet it rinsed easily.

The shampoo soaps up really well so you don't need a lot. It feels like my hair is clean, but not stripped.

The conditioner was interesting in that it felt quite moussey, like meringue mixture. It went through easily and once rinsed out my hair felt soft and smooth.

The combination of these three products saw my hair stay un-oily for three days - which is unheard of! On the fourth day I saw hints of oil, so took to it with the Dry Shampoo.

I love the dry shampoo's scent. It's yum. And makes my hair smell lovely. Initially I used it wrong, just doing the squirt and scrunch method I use with other dry shampoos, which didn't work. I then read the instructions and saw I was to spray it on, leave it for two minutes and then brush through. This worked much better and meant I could get another day of not washing my hair in.

I loved the freedom these products gave me. I saved time each morning not washing my hair. I was able to do different styles. I was able to enjoy my hair once again.

Since using this I've tried just using the shampoo and conditioner, and this combination alone means I get 48 hours out of my hair before having to wash.

I went into this being pretty skeptical and have come out converted.

My only nitpick would be the shampoo and conditioner are similar in design and I have to be careful to reach for the right one first.

All in all, this regime is a winner!!

Tips: Read the instructions for the dry shampoo in order to get better results.

Sad face

I've been testing the shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo in this range for the past couple of weeks, and tried the hair mask last night. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed by the results. The products do a good job of eliminating oiliness at the roots but unfortunately leave my hair dry and almost coarse feeling - an issue I never have with other products. The conditioner doesn't make my hair shiny or help it look hydrated... and the dry shampoo was just a bit meh.

Tips: The shampoo is the most harmless of the bunch. I'll keep using that, but skip the rest.

That's essentially how I felt too :( I felt like it did about as well as most other ranges at eliminating oiliness plus left my hair drier than normal, such a shame!

Mixed feelings

When I started using these products I noticed a huge change in the quality of my hair right away. I have thick, heavy, long & difficult to manage hair, and my hair suddenly felt lighter, smoother and softer with combined use of these products.

This range really appealed to me, 3 types of clay -intruiging, and the color choice of packaging for these products Is fresh & pretty. These products all have a similar sweet pretty floral smell, the scent is great.

Although the condition of my hair was significantly improved when I started using this range, the oiless of my roots wasn't. I noticed no difference in regards to oily roots, which is supposed to be an aspect of this range..

The conditioner was my favourite of the bunch as it worked wonders on my lengths. The shampoo is nice but didn't make any difference in regards to oily roots. The mask and dry shampoo I found to be rather ineffective.

I might repurchase the shampoo & conditioner, but would leave the mask and dry shampoo.

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.

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.

Amazing range

I feel like this range is perfect for my hair. I'm so glad I got to trial this product for BR. I haven't found any other hair range that cleans the scalp thoroughly without leaving me with dry brittle hair. The range has extended the time between washes by an extra day (so every third or fourth day) and even when I do wash my hair I feel that it's more to rinse and wash out any residue or dust rather than because my scalp is feeling very icky. I have tried the entire range in one go and also separately substituting with my hair products. I find that the clay masque makes the most difference but the system does work better when all the products are used together

Tips: If there is one product you would buy, definitely try the clay masque. Massage the masque slowly into your scalp and take your time!

Did not live up to expectations and claims

I wanted to love this... I really did. I have oily roots and am keen to try any product proclaiming to Sort This Out. The hair mask was off to a promising start (once I realised it wasn't a leave in treatment) and my hair felt really clean. Alas, that's where my excitement stopped, alongside slight resentment at an extra five minutes time in the shower (I'm ever mindful of the price of power!). The shampoo and conditioner was cleaned my hair and left it a bit thicker than usual (read, slighty boofy). The dry shampoo was abysmal, it did little for my oily roots, not sure if I got a dud? Overall, really unimpressed with this range and disappointed as I really wanted to love it!

Tips: The shampoo and conditioner is more or less fit for purpose, I'd use this in isolation - don't bother with the mask and totally flag the dry shampoo...

All About The Clay

I had the opportunity to test out the L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Clay Range, which includes the Clay mask, shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo. Each individual product of this range stated distinctive outcomes by use.

First product used was the Clay Mask. I believe that this mask did as it said it would. It did an incredible job at thoroughly lifting the oil and dirt from my scalp (as i purposely did not wash my hair for almost a week so i can put this to the test). It smelt calming and fresh no doubt the 'Clay' was announced as soon as you open these products. The second was the shampoo in which i did not really enjoy as it left my hair feeling extremely stripped. My hair felt hard straight after rinsing it out and my head did not stay feeling fresh and clean for 72 hours. The conditioner was the savior of this range as it was smooth and allowed me to comb my hair with ease. It delivered what it said it would. On the second day after using the product, my scalp did not feel as the shampoo said it would, so i put the dry shampoo to the test. It felt soothing and i got that hit of freshness straight away once applied directly to the roots. I was disappointed that the fresh and clean feeling did not last the whole day. It did not stop me from re-applying the product throughout the day.

Tips: Do not hold back with the clay mask, be generous when applying to the roots. It works.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Range

Overall not 100% for me, BUT perfect for Miss 14 with wild greasy hormones, it is so perfect for her and I will buy it for her :) If my Hair wasn't coloured red with red lust semi pigment colour lengths and ends it would be perfect for me too.

I will continue to repurchase the Dry Shampoo as it's the best I've ever used!! Thank you :) And once again I'm inlove with the fragrance
