Hair is normally categorised in one of three ways: normal, oily and dry. But what if your hair doesn’t fit neatly into one of these labels? Well, this is my problem…or should I say was my problem, as I’ve found a new hair-washing duo that perfectly addresses the problem—and they’re one of the best affordable shampoos and conditioners on the high street.
L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hydra Pure Shampoo and Conditioner, which hit shelves at the beginning of 2024, is designed to tackle hair that’s ‘combination’, to borrow a skincare term (more on this later), with oily roots but dry or dehydrated ends. This can be caused by what L’Oréal terms ‘The Greasiness Dilemma’: your hair feels greasy so you wash it more frequently, which then encourages the scalp to produce more sebum to compensate, and can also leave lengths stripped of natural moisture.
