L'Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Shampoo Nourishing & Detangling for Dry Hair 400 ml/13.53 oz
Six flower oils, which is unusual enough to be worth listing: rose, chamomile, flax, lotus, tiare and sunflower. Together they make up the conditioning side of a shampoo aimed at dry, dull hair that tangles if you look at it.
The balance L'Oréal are after here is nourishment without weight. Dry hair needs oils, but a shampoo that leaves too much behind flattens everything at the root, so this one feeds the lengths and rinses clean. Hair comes out soft, shiny and detangled, with a floral scent that lasts well past the shower.
- Six flower oils for dry, dull lengths
- Detangles as it washes
- No heavy residue at the root
- 400 ml/13.53 oz
Suits waves and looser curls that read as dry rather than damaged. If yours is properly damaged, the Full Restore 5 shampoo in the same range is the better match.
The scent is the divisive part. It is a proper floral, and it stays on the hair for a day or so, which some people buy the bottle for and others find too much. Worth knowing before you commit to 400 ml of it.

Application tips
Two washes, not one. The first lifts off the oil and product sitting on the surface and will barely lather. The second does the conditioning work, so leave it on for a minute before you rinse.
Massage with the pads of your fingers rather than your nails. On dry hair the temptation is to scrub, and scrubbing roughs up the cuticle that this range is meant to be smoothing down.
Results
Dry hair usually comes out of a shampoo feeling stripped and then gets rescued by the conditioner. This one leaves enough behind that the hair is already soft while wet, and the comb goes through before you have put anything else on it.
The flower oil blend shows up in the finish rather than the feel: hair that dulled down under hard water starts catching light again after a few washes.
