L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo Review

L'Oréal Paris elvive extrodinary clay dry shampoo is great for those days you don't have time or want to avoid washing your hair. It was easy to apply and sprayed a light even mist onto the roots. Has a lovely fresh scent and absorbed up oil for a fresh washed feeling.

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.

This is the product out of the whole Clay range that I think made the biggest difference to my hair and allowed me to only need to wash my hair every three days because of less oiliness and less frizziness.

I have used a few dry shampoos in the past, but the best thing about this one was it didn't leave my hair with white residue. This is great as I have dark brown hair so the white residues of other dry shampoos can leave me looking 30 years older in two seconds. The smell was also mild and pleasant, which is good as I find other dry shampoos a bit overwhelming and to the knowing nose obvious you have dry shampoo in your hair!

I only used the dry shampoo on the days I hadn't washed my hair. It made my hair look fresh again and got rid of the oily roots. By day three however, my hair looked clean but felt a bit stiff. But I will continue to use this product so I only need to wash my hair every three days.

I received this dry shampoo as part of the Extraodinary Clay range BR Trial (thanks BR!). When it comes to dry shampoo I'm always a bit "meh" about them. I've never found one that worked so I've never gone out of my way to purchase them regularly. Having one part of this range I was forced to use it haha.

The bottle is in your typical steel spray can and for just under $7 I think it's a pretty good bargain. There are clear directions on the can making this easy to use if you're a first time user of dry shampoo.

This one has been specifically created to coincide with the range for oily roots & dry ends (which I suffer from). On my third day of not having to wash my hair, my hair looked a bit limp so following directions I sprayed some through my roots & allowed it to settle for 2minutes before brushing through & styling. I was extremely surprised at the result because like I said, I've always been let down by dry shampoos. This instantly lifted my roots & made the limp look go away. It actually made my hair look like it had been freshly washed! (I had no hesitation about leaving the house).

There are mixed reviews on this dry shampoo so I guess it comes down to personal experience & opinion, but I for one loved it!

Having thick, unruly and oily hair I've tried most other dry shampoos but this one, as part of the whole extraordinary clay range is my favourite.

Using this as part of the system I didn't need to wash my hair every second day, in fact I got down to twice a week! It had a subtle fragrance, was easy to apply AND didn't leave me looking like I had bad dandruff

I really really love this Dry Shampoo!!

1 it smells amazing , I think this range is the best smelling hair care products out there!! 2 it didn't leave my hair chalky like Batiste does. 3 it really did suck the oil and leave my hair fresh, smelling great and it really did leave my hair looking like id had a quick shampoo!

It also did NOT dry my roots out , at all!

It looks great 2 days later , not like Batiste ..

I am very impressed and will continue to repurchase.

My hair is literally oily 2 days after a shampoo and I have cherry red coloured hair so I do not wash it often!

It brushes through really easy and your hair is very easy to style afterwards. The nozzle sprays well and clear, does not seem to clog and the can is easy to hold. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I loved this product! I use dry shampoo on a regular basis with having quite oily roots so I have used a few, and one of my least fave things is the powdery residue that it leaves, that can make powdery clumps that shed on my shoulder like dandruff (attractive!!) but because this range has no powdery residue I didn't have this problem, which also meant my scalp didn't get as irritated which it can tend to do from a blanket of powder. I loved how it just sucked up all the oils for my hair, and even leaving it grease free the next day. I like the size of the bottle, its perfect for throwing in my bag, and the blue packaging is super sweet. Overall I think this is a product that I will be buying over and over again, it really worked for me!
