L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo Review

After using the rest of the product range with great results, I had high hopes for this product. I was quite disappointed. I regularly use dry shampoo in my hair, so I am no stranger to how this sort of product should work. This one failed to deliver. On the third day after washing my hair, some oil started to show on my roots. I applied this dry shampoo as I normally would, and it didn't really make much of a difference. I still had a lot of oil on my roots, and my hair seemed to lose some of its shine where the product was applied. I tried again the next day when more oil appeared, but my hair still looked like an oil slick so I had to give in and wash it that night. Usually dry shampoo can tide me over for about 3 more days before washing. I won't be using this product again.

I'm not much of a dry shampoo girl, mostly because I have such oily hair I don't believe anything but a good wash can do the trick.

I use dry shampoo mostly to freshen up between work and going out, or gym and going out.

This shampoo is easy to use and smells nice, I do sort of wish it was more scented, I love the scents of other dry shampoos.

Does it instantly refresh? Well you have to leave it a couple of minutes before brushing through/styling but lets say it's a very quick refresh!

What else did I love? The can is a good size, it doesn't leave residue once brushed through, leaves hair shiny and probably stretches out wash time by at least 24 hours.

This product didn't step up for me. It had a nice fragrance and it didn't leave any white cast, however for my hair it didn't seem to refresh or soak up my oily roots. It just didn't compare to other dry shampoos at the same price point. Also due to feeling it wasn't doing the job I tried using more product, which meant that the product was used up quickly.

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!

I got to put this product to the test for a week. On my second day after washing my hair, I had to use this to revive that freshness and clean scalp. I can say that as soon as i sprayed this product to my roots i got that satisfying hit of freshness that i was craving straight away. This satisfaction was short lived as the product only lasted a few hours and my scalp and hair started feeling heavy and oily. This did not stop me from re-applying the product though.

As a regular dry shampoo user I was super excited to try out and review the L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Dry Shampoo however I was left feeling disappointed.

The bottle is quite small (150ml) whereas my usual dry shampoo comes in 200ml for the same price (although I always snap it up for much cheaper), I did like the packaging though. I followed the directions and applied to my roots on day two after washing my hair and discovered that this product really lives up to the 'no residue' claim which i'm not too sure I like although it is great that you don't have to spend ages brushing it out or worrying that you missed some. I found that this dry shampoo didn't absorb oils very well at all which was a bummer. My hair still looked oily and not refreshed at all really. I decided to give it another go a few days later after I had washed my hair again and it was much the same. I will stick to my Batise Dry Shampoo as I find it works the best at absorbing the oil.

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.

I was so excited to be picked to trial this range of clay products. I think the packaging is lovely and bright and would stand out on the supermarket shelf. I think it smells really nice and is great to use after a gym workout before I start work as I don't have time to wash, dry and straighten my hair before I start my shift. It definitely freshens my hair up and doesn't leave a white residue like other dry shampoo ranges. It isn't the best dry shampoo I've ever used but it is still a good product and if I saw it at the supermarket and was on special I'd definitely grab some.

The dry shampoo is my least favourite of the clay range. Like the other products in the range, the product looks awesome, is very eye catching and is easy to read. It has a very refreshing scent and made my hair smell clean. There was a slight white powdery residue in my hair which took quite a bit of brushing to get rid of. In the end it did work, it got rid of the oil that was in around my scalp. However, I probably wouldn’t use it again as my usual dry shampoo does a better job (no white residue).

I'm not a huge user of dry shampoos as I find they just don't do what they say they do. I gave this one a go on the days I didn't wash my hair and had mixed results. I loved the smell and was pleased to see it didn't leave the white film over my hair that other dry shampoos do that is hard to brush out. However while it did feel a wee bit fresher and lighter it didn't last that long. The price of this product is really good compared to other dry shampoos but overall there was nothing too special about it.
