L'Oreal Paris ELVIVE Extraordinary Clay Shampoo Review

Loved the shampoo! I normally have to wash my hair daily, otherwise my hair is an oily mess. After using for a week, I am now able to wash my hair every 2nd day. My hair feels light, clean and nourished. This has a really creamy texture. I found a little goes a long way with this product. I will definitely purchase this again!

I was fortunate to be apart of the beauty team trial for this product. I really love the shampoo, you don't need to apply a lot as this lathers up sooooooooo much. Smells awesome and leaves my hair feeling nice and clean afterwards. I can defiantly see this shampoo becoming my go to. Easily one of the best supermarket shampoos I've tried. Works really well with the conditioner to give you shiny, healthy hair!

this shampoo cleans oily hair very well ,but your hair will feel dry if you dont use any conditioner ,my hair did become oily longer than before so i think this did work to control the oil but just not that nourishing the ends ,but its good enough for a shampoo you just need to use their conditioner as well

This shampoo did a great job of combating my oily roots.

With my normal shampoo and conditioner I wash my hair every second day, but on my no-wash days I sometimes need to top up with a bit of dry shampoo in the morning, and I ALWAYS need dry shampoo if I'm going out in the evening of my no-wash day. With the Extraordinary Clay shampoo I found that I never needed dry shampoo on that second day, so it's a big win for me there.

I have to say I don't love how much the scent lingers. It's not an awful scent, in fact I kind of like it, but I strongly prefer hair products that don't leave a scent in my hair at all and this range definitely leaves a fairly strong and persistent smell, which is somewhat 'chemical' ish.

It's quite foamy so I use probably half the amount as I would of normal shampoo (or quarter of the amount if I'm using it after the mask from the same range). My only complaint is that it's far too harsh for my tips and the conditioner from the range just doesn't do enough to counter that. On day 2 my tips start getting dry and angry, and if I use dry shampoo to stretch things out to day 3 then my tips are a gnarled mess.

However, I like this shampoo enough that I'm probably going to shop around to see if I can find a better conditioner or treatment to pair with it and hopefully counteract the effects, and if I do then I'll definitely repurchase.

I really enjoyed trialling this shampoo. The fragrance was beautiful and fresh. It lathered very well, which meant I only had to shampoo once, rather than my normal twice shampooing technique. I didn't notice any magic change regarding my day two oily roots, but the product was a lovely shampoo and did a good job cleansing my hair.

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.

This smelt nice and fresh so I thought I would give it a try. With all the clays I was a little concerned that it might be too drying but I planned to use when my roots were oily. I got a big bottle for about $5 on special. I wouldn't use this every time I wash my hair as I think it could still potentially be drying and take colour out of my hair fast. Ideally this is a clarify detoxify type shampoo I think. Also over use will stimulate more oil production from your scalp. My hair felt clean after use and soft but it wasn't super soft or amazing. The scent did seem to gently linger in my hair for a little bit so that's good I like strong scents these days but this is not overpowering or very strong but good to know it lingers. The shampoo itself is not clear reminded me of an anti dandruff shampoo. I haven't bought the conditioner to go with this. I don't shampoo twice unless I feel like I have to and I didn't with this. It lathered easily and I didn't need to use alot. Does the job of cleaning your hair but I am not convinced it hydrated my ends I don't really understand how a shampoo can clean roots of oil and hydrate the ends. I'm not saying I'd not use this again but I'm not in a big rush to get another bottle.

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 was sent the range to review, and I was super excited about trying the shampoo & conditioner as I have tried so many and never really found the perfect fit. I love the scent, however the shampoo leaves me with that too squeaky clean feeling which is especially disappointing since the pre-shampoo mask makes my hair feel nice and soft. Other than that, it feels like any other run of the mill shampoo, as does the conditioner. You don’t need a lot of either product each time which is great. However I found I was left with the same amount of time where my hair felt good enough not to rewash it - every day or every second day at most, which was quite disappointing. Overall it wasn't a bad shampoo, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
