When I found out that L'oreal were bringing out their new elvive extraordinary clay range of haircare I was instantly intrigued. Living in London there's a lot of pollution and over the last year or so I've noticed my hair getting a lot more oily, to the point where I'd have to wash it almost every day! So a new range designed to rebalance the roots without drying out the ends sounded just like what my hair needed:
The new products are all based around refined clay, an ingredient long since used in skincare to help detoxify and deep cleanse. Within the L'oreal elvive extraordinary clay range there are four products to choose from and I decided to start by trying the clay masque and silicone free shampoo.
The masque is designed to be used pre wash on dry hair and although it takes some time to really work into the roots (I'd suggest doing it layer by layer), it's nicely scented and easy enough to apply. After 5-10 minutes it's time to wash off and shampoo. Now I must admit with the mask being quite thick I was worried about rinsing it all out but it softens really well under water and after shampooing and conditioning my hair definitely feels a lot fresher and lighter.
L'oreal elvive extraordinary clay promises up to 72 hours of pure lightweight roots and I have to say it's not far off! On the third day I need some dry shampoo, but considering I was having to wash almost every day before its a big improvement and I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you also struggle with oily roots. Plus the masque is surprisingly fun to apply and it's a good excuse to have a mini pamper session and treat yourself to a face mask too.

Have you tried anything from the new L'oreal elvive extraordinary clay range? What are your favourite products for oily hair?
I've really been enjoying this range too! Haven't noticed any being able to wash my hair any less unfortunately but it feels really clean and soft! Loreal used to do an Elvive Light shampoo that was my favourite for greasy hair but they discontinued it :(
