L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

The packaging is pretty standard, I like the look and the colour that is across the range is nice. The scent for me is quite strong, it's not unpleasant, just strong. I'm not good with strong smells, thankfully this one I can still smell in my hair after but it's not as intense.

The shampoo itself is thick and lightly coloured. I used the normal amount that I use for other shampoo, but it was too much. At first I thought it reacted with the pre-shampoo mask, but when I did it without the mask it lathered up a lot too. I have found after the mask I need to wash twice for it to feel clean, and with most shampoo I do this too. With just the shampoo, one wash is enough for it to have the clean feeling.

My hair feels light and remains oil free longer than the period it says, so I think in conjunction with the conditioner this works really well.

I was pleasantly surprised with this shampoo and think that I would probably continue to buy this. I used it a number of times, a couple with the pre-shampoo mask and a couple of times without and I think it did a pretty awesome job either way! I have recently cut my hair from super long to shoulder length so I wear my hair out a lot more and because of this I find myself playing with my hair a lot more and it gets oilier faster, but with this I found that my hair didn't get as oily as fast as it has been.

I really liked the packaging for this product and thought it looked really beautiful (the whole range did).

My favorite part about this shampoo was how light it is, usually shampoos make my hair feel quite dry afterwards and I need a lot of conditioner to make my hair feel smooth again and not tangled, but I didn't get that with this product.

I thought the packaging was simple but effective. However, it looks pretty much identical to the conditioner so I needed to be careful regarding which bottle I grab - especially because I'm short sighted so already have poor vision!

It squeezes out easily and smells amazing! The scent also lasts after you rinse it out. It made my hair feel clean, light, smooth, silky and manageable. It also let my hair last longer than usual. I typically wash it every other day, but this allowed me to extend it to about 4 days!

Definitely love it, would repurchase and would highly recommend!

I used this the shampoo with the conditioner, however in all honesty I found it did nothing to prolong time between washes.

I wash and condition my hair every second day and hoped I'd be able to push it out another day but unfortunately this product wasn't for me.

I wouldn't buy this to use again unfortunately, but after reading other reviews maybe it's my hair?

LOVE love love the fragrance L'Oreal uses , I would seriously use the fragrance as a perfume!

I really like this Shampoo! It's creamy and bubbles up nicely it's easily worked through the ends . But.... it does dry my hair out and strip my colour :(

I found while rinsing my lengths and ends felt like straw. But that didn't stop me from giving it the full trial. My hair colour really washed out , perhaps it was the clay mask or this?

I told my 14 yr old Daughter to start using this range too as she can wash her hair twice and she have an oil slick head. And one wash later , beautiful soft shiny wonderfully clean and fresh hair...even 3 days later..

Me...no this didn't work for me , my hair was so greasy by day 4 I rewashed. BUT that's ok because this range is perfect for Miss 14 , a blessing in disguise because we'd tried all sorts for her hair.

And the fragrance really lingers in your hair for days

I love this range, my hair lasted twice as long before needing a wash. It went on nicely and rinsed nicely. The only thing I didn't like was the smell and the fact that it looks exactly like the conditioner so you have to read the bottles to make sure you have the right product. My hair is normally oily by the second day so I usually wash it daily, this time it lasted a couple of days. It smells like a mix of clay and colouring chemicals you smell at a salon. I like my shampoo to smell like apples or strawberry or something yummy. I will definitely be buying this from now on.

Sadly I couldn't. I have a scalp that I like to call Dandruff prone. A shampoo either works for me or it doesn't. This one sadly didn't.

I like to only wash my hair twice a week. Generally at the start of the week and at the end of the week. Even so in still keeping my routine the same I found this shampoo left my roots so oily and slick.

By the end of the bottle my Dandruff was back with a vengeance and my hair and head were not loving me.

I dye my hair regularly so was looking for a shampoo that wold hydrate my ends and keep my hair looking soft and shiny. When in fact it did the opposite and my ends looked worse after using this product.

I personally won't be using this again but I felt it was worth giving a go.

Reasonably priced for $6, I've seen it on special for less, so if you love this product keep an eye out for the deals :)

I received this from BR to review along with the conditioner, preshampoo mask, and dry shampoo. They're all in really nice looking packaging, and I really like the light green colour.

The shampoo smells divine, which instantly made me like it more. It lathers up well to create heaps of foam, and only a $2 coin size dollop is enough for my whole head (although I do have shoulder length hair right now). It's easy to rinse off, but I feel like it feels a little too 'oil stripping' if that's possible. If you've ever tried washing your hair with bar soap (terrible idea), you'll know that super gritty, lost all oils kind of feel. Well after rinsing this off, my hair felt a little like that. Almost as if it's done its job a little too well. After I used the conditioner though my hair felt back to normal again so maybe you have to use the two products in conjunction. I did notice that my hair feels much lighter straight after, and it looks very shiny.

It's been a bit over a week and I feel like my hair is already improving. I've been quite active this week so I expected my scalp to get oily quickly, but it's averaging about three days before it's unbearable and I have to rewash my hair. Normally if I wash every second day, I can easily pass off with fresh looking hair.

L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo comes in a nice green bottle, easily stored on it's head for easy dispensing. The consistency of the shampoo is quite thick, which is great, because it doesn't just run off your hand and you are able to foam it up quite nicely. The smell is delicious and fruity, both when you are using it and afterwards lingering in your hair. Even while washing, the hair already seems to feel lighter. The hair feels fresh and bouncy, even on the second and third day.

The shampoo lathers in hair very well and little goes a long way. It left my hair feeling very clean and almost squeaky once it had been rinsed out. Used on its own I am not sure it would leave your hair soft and silky but used along with the pre-shampoo mask and clay conditioner my hair was soft, bouncey and shiny. Will definitely be using this and the other products again.
