L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

I received this product as part of the Extraordinary Clay range for a BR Trial. As like the other products, it's a standard bottle of shampoo (like others from their elvive range) which is solid and you get 250ml of product. The product also smells the same as all the rest which is a clean refreshing smell which isn't too strong.

The shampoo feels a bit thicker than other shampoos I've used which feels really nice through my hair. The shampoo makes my hair feel really clean & followed with the conditioner my hair is really soft and smooth.

The results I had from using the whole range were really good & lasted a good 3 days!

My first impression of this shampoo was that I love the colour! It has a nice pleasant scent to it that's not too strong.

This shampoo has quite a thick texture that as I discovered foams up a lot so you don't need to use as much as you'd expect. It goes on the hair and mixes in well and was easy to rinse out. I was quite impressed with how soft and clean my hair felt after, even before using conditioner. It felt light and fresh which I was pleased about. Overall I really liked this shampoo and would definitely purchase it again. I used it both with the clay mask and also without. It did leave my hair feeling fresher and less oily but did not last 72 hours as claimed.

The clay shampoo has the same medicinal smell that the whole clay range has. Its not unpleasant, reminds of something clinical, but i must admit it is the least favourite aspect of this entire range.However getting past the smell, the works amazingly well with the clay mask and the clay conditioner. It is a pretty green/blue colour and you don't need much to lather up your hair. I use it twice each time i wash, and my roots are indeed squeaky clean, in fact they do squeak, when i have finished. It does extend the amount of time between washes, i was washing my hair daily , but can now go two days without having to do so. I like this range very much and will continue to purchase it, it is now my go to shampoo and conditioner and i'm very pleased to have been picked for this trial and to have discovered how good it is.

This freshly scented shampoo is quite thick and luxurious. It lathers really well and I only needed to shampoo once to have perfectly clean, oil free hair.

When lathering I concentrated on my roots as opposed to my ends so as not to dry them out. It does say it hydrates the hair as well but I find most shampoos dry my ends out, and when I wash the shampoo out it washes down over the ends cleaning them enough for my liking.

My hair feels very light and airy after using this product - oil free for over 48 hours. I'd definitely recommend this shampoo for oily rooted people.

I have very oily hair and I’ve tried other shampoo targeting oily hair and hasn’t worked. My hair usually gets oily within few hours after washing my hair, so I was excited to get chosen to try the L’oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Rebalancing Shampoo. It comes in a 250ml bottle and it also has a lovely scent. The shampoo is opaque white and the texture is like any other shampoo.

I first tried this after I applied the clay hair mask in the same range and followed the instructions on the bottle. I have medium length hair, so I used about $2 coin amount of shampoo. I massaged it into wet hair, covering my whole scalp and rinsed it out until the water ran clear. Often with other shampoos, I had to wash my hair twice in the shower because I could still feel the oil in my hair. With the L’oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Rebalancing Shampoo my hair felt very clean and oil free after one wash. I then followed it with the hair conditioner of the same range. Once my hair was dried, it stayed oil free and clean for a couple of days.

The second time I tried this without the clay hair mask just so I can see if the results would be different. I had to wash my hair twice in the shower and followed it with the hair conditioner of the same range. Once dried, my hair only remained oil free and clean for one day. I would use this again, and recommend others to give it a try if they have very oily hair.

I really don't know which way to go with this Shampoo as I love the scent 'salon fresh', the packaging - beautiful aqua blue and the price is definitely affordable and best of all it does make my hair feel less oily at the roots and refreshed BUT not for 72 hours. I would say that I get 2 days MAX without the oily feeling returning and that is heightened if I then add the Dry Shampoo from this range. Even if I use the Clay pre-shampoo mask it's only a good 2 days, which I suppose is better than the 1 day I would normally get..although I would like to test that result with the shampoo alone without the pre-mask.

The most noticeable difference I found when using this product during my shower routine is that my hair definitely felt dryer in the stage between rinsing and applying the conditioner.

Would I use this again...yes I most likely will...but does it do as it claims...not fully.

I really like the smell of this shampoo, it reminds me alot of a watermelon scent. The shampoo is nice and thick and lathers up well so I didn't need alot for my long hair. Also it didn't dry my hair out like I thought it would, it focused on removing the oils from my scalp and I was able to go 3 days without having to wash my hair which was amazing. I have already used it twice and am so glad I found a product that works so well in my hair. I will definitely be purchasing again!

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 absolutely love the smell of this shampoo!!! I used this shampoo along with the other clay range and found that it helps my hair from being so oily especially at the roots. My scalp and hair felt clean and fresh and my hair smelt delicious. This is definitely a product I'd use again especially along side the whole range of clay products as I think they all work together to help illiminate oilyness. My hair had bounce and shine! Great packaging

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?
