L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo Review

Two words: game. changer.

This dry shampoo is the bomb. It is effective and super easy to use. You can use it to stretch out a wash for another day or two, as it instantly refreshes your hair. Or you can use it to give your hair a bit of oomph. I tried it with both and both circumstances the spray was effective and the result lasted all day.

It left no visible residue (you do leave it for a few minutes and then brush and style your hair as normal) and also didn't leave my hair clumpy or crunchy like I've had happen with dry shampoos before.

The only downside - I wish the can was redesigned just a smidge. I kept placing my finger oddly which made the spray go in crazy directions! A more defined 'finger spot' and this would be absolutely perfect.

I have only recently discovered dry shampoo - I thought it was a young trendy thing and not something I would need. The brand I have tried was Tresemme.

But wow what a world of difference L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo is from Tresemme. For a start it is specifically designed for my hair type - oily roots. My hair is only shoulder length, so has no length to disperse the oils down.

It's a fine line between too oily and stripping your hair of natural oils so I don't wash my hair every day - probably every three as a rule. So I tried this dry shampoo on day three.

I found the can easy to use and the instructions easily understood. I followed these instructions and was left with a great result - instant lift and revitalisation. My hair felt like it had body again and naturally fell into style. There was no sticky feeling or visable signs of product in my hair.

In-fact the next morning my hair still felt great. The roots were not oily and the effect of the dry shampoo clay element had worked for me.

What a great product for those in between days or definitely something to pack on a camping holiday when showers are scarce.

For me a bigger can would make sense for a budget conscious shopper.

I found the dry shampoo to be the added bonus in the Loreal Clay Hair Care range! The icing on the cake, for those days between shampoo when your hair starts to feel limp and flat but not bad enough to justify a wash. To use, just spray on your roots, focusing on your problem areas, applying in sections and letting it absorb all the oil & impurities for a couple of minutes before brushing any excess off. For best results, apply before bed so it can get to work while you sleep, and you’ll find you wake up with clean-feel, light and manageable hair the next morning. I have used dry shampoos of other brands and some I find leave whitish, powdery residue but I didn’t have this issue with this product. Also love the handy size of the bottle = can fit in totes and handbags. While it works really well as part of the entire clay range, it also works well by itself too so will definitely buy and use again. It smells great too!

This dry shampoo comes in an easy to use spray can. This dry shampoo smells nice and fresh and isn't too overpowering. Since trailing this range I have managed to stretch out washing my hair every second day ( I usually wash it everyday). This dry shampoo is perfect for in between washes.It is best to spray it 20cm away from your hair and then brush through to avoid excess buildup of the product. It seems to absorb any excess oils on the scalp occurring in between washes. This dry shampoo made my hair feel clean and fresh as if it had been washed every day. Overall this is the best dry shampoo I have used and I will be purchasing it in the future.

This was the first time i had ever tried Dry shampoo, I didn't even really what it was for until I received it to trial. My hair was very greasy the day I received it and with such a busy few days I hadn't had time to wash my hair, like always I just chuck in it and bun and wait till I have time. So i had a read of the instructions and gave it a go. I sprayed it on my hair focusing on the roots, and waited 2 minute, then I gave my hair a brush. Seriously AMAZING. The results were so good! My hair looked clean, even the smell of the Dry Shampoo was a really fresh scent which I really liked. I love how it removed the oils and really gave volume back into my hair.

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.

For reviews on the other products in the range (shampoo, conditioner, and clay mask) - check them out under those products.

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
