L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coconut Regime Reviews

I was so excited to be chosen to trial this regime. My hair is dry, due to colouring, lightening & styling habits! I also have fine curly hair, so it takes on a frizzy life of its own!

The regime I was sent was the Shampoo,Conditioner,Hair Mask and Nourishing Oil. The scent of all of these products is a light coconut scent and not over powering. The amount of product you get is generous across the range. I’ve used all 4 products consistently for a week and I might be a 10th of the way through the products.

The tub of Hair Mask is a favourite. A multi-talker. I was particularly taken by the Mask’s statement on the label “1001 uses! Whoa! The mind boggles – 1001 applications from the container, or 1001 ways to apply it?? The hair oil is glass, maybe my only real issue with packaging. Glass is great for the environment, but it’s quite heavy and in a tiled bathroom and slippery hands it proved a little treacherous, but we all survived the experience without breaks or injury.

Shampoo: Only a tiny amount needed to get the satisfactory suds, and rinsing is quick and easy. I was left with smooth hair, pre-conditioning. It wasn’t ‘wow’ but it was better than ‘ok’. Definitely nourishing. Not drying.

Conditioner: A small blob goes a long way and coats the hair nicely. Hair is tangle free after a quick rinse. Loved the feel afterwards with this even without the mask, my hair was relatively tangle free and soft after drying.

Hair Mask: Smells lovely! 1001 uses it said. I used it 4 ways (997 other ways to go!). I used it as a Conditioning treatment, an overnight Hair Mask, leave-in conditioner and as a finishing balm after styling. Definitely a favourite product, and performed well with all uses. In shower conditioning treatment was the favourite!

Hair Oil: No noticeable scent with this, but it’s a nice consistency to use. Not too runny & not too thick. A couple of pumps is plenty as a serum on wet hair. I only needed a tiny bit to boost shine on dry hair. It was so fabulous as an overnight treatment to hydrate my hair (was my favourite over the hair mask for overnight use!)

There are favourites with this regime– the mask and the hair oil. The shampoo/conditioner are great. Performed well with my dry fine hair. Defintely delivered on softenss. Maybe fell a little short on my ‘shine’ expectations. The whole range is well priced for the results. The Mask is fabulous, and if you’ve got incredibly dry hair, or it’s taken a battering with colouring/styling then a week of this product will bring some hydration and softness back to your hair. The oil is where I got the best results with hair shine – both as a conditioning treatment and finishing serum – it’s really lovely. A fantastic overnight treatment! Definitely wasn’t disappointed with results or experience! Thank you BR & L’Oreal for having me part of this fabulous trial!

Ive loved reviewing this entire range. I might just make it a staple in our house. I love how the bathroom smells like a coconut haven once ive used all the products :) Using them all together in the stages that they go has been really great i believe they all compliment each other and if your like me and love a bit of coconut, you can't go wrong. Loreal is a brand thats been around for a long time and it sure doesn't disappoint and the price point for this range is well worth it. If your hesitant then id defiantly go for the oil and the mask. If you only want one then go the oil.

When used in combination I was happy with most of the products in this regime. With a few little niggles thrown in. Overall I loved the smell of all the products, but then I'm a bit of a nut for coconut so that was almost a given. I didn't find it overpowering though, which can sometimes happen with this kind of smell. Firstly starting with the shampoo it went on well, but didn't lather as much as I expected. I did however find that when I washed it out my hair felt quite squeaky, this was a concern given that I do have issues with dry hair. Next up was the conditioner, this product 100% made up for the shampoo squeak - it was rich, thick and creamy! I didn't have to use as much as normal because of this fact and my hair came out feeling amazing - even a few days post wash it was still awesome. The hair mask is probably the most disappointing of the products in the regime - I felt like it was trying to be too many things, even though initially I was really excited about it. I didn't think it was thick or moisturising enough for a post shampoo mask, but conversely was probably too heavy for a dry application, leave in treatment or pre-style addition. But that is just my personal opinion based on how my hair reacts to certain types of products and ease of dispersal through my hair. I did really love the hair oil component of the regime - initially I put too much in, but once I balanced that out it was great. A little certainly goes a long way and for its price I think it'd last quite a long time. Best part is my hair still looks lush and shiny, plus a little added to dry hair gives an extra bump of gloss!

I found these products worked great in combination. The shampoo focuses on your scalp with the conditioner working on the lengths and ends. My hair felt and looked clean, soft and shiny without looking oily. The mask added hydration and nourishment leaving my hair looking a lot healthier than it has. The oil tamed most of my fly aways and minimized the fluffiness I get when I brush it dry. I love the smell of all of these products and would happily pay full price. My hair is looking and feeling a lot healthier. Have even had comments on how nice my hair is looking. Have already recommended to family and friends.

Lets be honest, its always nice to trial a whole range. There's just something so satisfying about matching products on the vanity, or in the shower.

The packaging of the Elvive Coconut Oil range is lovely. Quite classy for a supermarket range!

The prices are reasonable - at $8 each the shampoo and conditioner are such great value. The oil's price surprised me...before I used it. After using it, I would have paid more for it, its that good.

As a range the products work well together - my hair is soft, shiny and feels so healthy. Which for a faux-blonde is pretty much living the dream!

If I had to drop one product it would be the mask - the conditioner was more than conditioning enough for me, and I felt the '1001 uses' was a bit of hyberbole!

Oh - and when used together - your hair will never stop smelling like sweet coconut oil. Its just delicious!

I have really loved trialling this Extraordinary oil Coconut oil range from Loreal (thanks BR) All the packaging in this range is simple and all matches in. The scents all match which is a light and sweet coconut scent is, it is a subtle and not over powering scent, it is just very pretty. The shampoo and conditioner bottles are a huge 325ml which I love! Even the oil comes in a 100ml bottle which Is huge and I have barely made a dent in it after using it for the past 10 days.

The shampoo was probably the biggest let down in the range for me it just left my hair feeling stripped/really dry (I know- how is that possible when you are in a shower! But it did) It doesn’t lather much which is ok that’s not really a biggie.

The conditioner has a lovely thick consistency and it is easy to use and spread through your hair it has the same beautiful scent that matches through the rest of the line.

The mask is a goodie its like a rescue remedy for your hair. I love how soft and nourished it leaves your hair. It doesn’t take much to take your hair from drab to fab! I love the big plastic tub this product comes in, it is so easy to scoop the product out.

The oil is honestly my new favourite it is amazing! it is great in my hair, it is just as good as the salon stuff that I normally buy, a little goes a long way with this oil too so it will last for ages.

Overall I am pretty impressed with this range and I would happily repurchase it except for the shampoo.

I’ve been using the set of shampoo, conditioner, mask and oil together after receiving them to trial.

L’oreal are good at making matching sets of products like this and I like using them as a set. This is like having two sets, with the option to use either the mask or the oil, and the oil can be used in several different ways. Or you can use all four products together. That’s great value for less than $50 for the four products.

I love the matching packaging and having lots of options for how to use the products. That they are coconut oil – based is wonderful, as I love coconut oil and have dry hair so oil-based products are very good for me.

The shampoo is light and clear, and cleans my hair without staining or leaving any heaviness or residue. The conditioner is a creamy white lotion, and is also light and leaves my hair feeling soft and hydrated. The mask is thicker than the conditioner and can be used in several different ways. I find a little is all it takes to leave my hair feeling conditioned, weightless and soft, which is what the product claims. The oil is lovely. As per the directions, I rub 2 – 3 drops between my palms then work through the ends of my hair. The result is soft frizz-free ends that look hydrated and healthy.

Overall this is a very good set of products. I love them using them together. They all share the delicious coconut scent that remains in my hair after use. I rub the residual oil into my hands after applying it to my hair and my hands end up soft and scented also!

I highly recommend this set, and the products individually, especially for those with dry, fine hair like mine.

Absolutely LOVED this range! My hair gets pretty dry in Winter and I always struggle with the length and ends getting all frizzy and dull. After using this range for a few days, honestly, my hair doesn't feel like my own! It's soft and silky and actually has a nice shine to it. I used the shampoo everyday, then alternated between the conditioner and mask. Saving the oil for after I styled my hair helped so much with my little 'baby hairs' and kept them in place all day. Highly recommend this range if you have dry hair and want your hair to be silky smooth.
