We all know I am a big fan of dry shampoo. I live like you all a busy and hectic life and if I am honest with you all. I find hair wash day a big chore. I have fine long blonde hair and no matter what I try I get greasy roots far too quickly and it is very very annoying.
Dry shampoo is a lifesaver for me on days my hair needs a quick refresh. Today, I’m talking about the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Dry Shampoo. I have tried the full elvive dreams lengths product line well, the shampoo, conditioner wonder water and hair mask etc. All the major hyped products from this line. But spoiler alert The l'oreal elvive dream lengths dry shampoo is the standout product in this line. I have been obsessed with this since day one. I can not find a better dry shampoo than this one and I want to tell you all about it.
What is L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Dry Shampoo?
L'Oreal Elvive Dream Lengths Dry Shampoo is designed to revive your hair between washes, absorbing excess oil and leaving your locks looking clean and full of life. Part of the Dream Lengths range, it’s tailored for longer hair prone to dryness and split ends, offering a solution to greasy roots without stripping your strands.
What are the key ingredients in this dry shampoo?
-
Rice starch: Effectively absorbs oils, refreshing your hair between washes.
-
Subtle fragrance: Leaves hair smelling fresh and clean
-
Silicone-free formula: Prevents weighing down hair, making it suitable for fine or naturally curly hair.
Who is this product designed for?
The Dream Lengths Dry Shampoo is ideal for those with long hair like me, but it works well on most hair types, from thick and curly to fine and straight. It’s especially handy if you’re looking to extend the life of your blow-dry or hairstyle or of course if you need a quick refresh after a workout.
Packaging and First Impressions
How does the product feel upon first use?
I have found when sprayed, the product feels lightweight and doesn’t leave a heavy residue. It’s easy to distribute through your hair with your fingers or a hairbrush. This is a very fine mist and you need to spray 30cm from your roots for the best results. This does not leave a white cast at all. It is a wonderful fine mist which is perfect for my fine hair. It leaves it so much more manageable and I can get away with an extra day before washing.
What are the initial scents and textures observed?
The fragrance is sweet and fruity scent, which is the signature of the Dream Lengths line. The texture is fine and dry, which makes application seamless.
They say it's a blend of bright berries, cherry blossom, sweet vanilla, and sandalwood and I totally get those notes from the full elvive dream lengths range.
How to Use L'Oreal Dream Lengths Dry Shampoo
What are the steps for applying this dry shampoo?
-
Shake the can well before use and I mean well.
-
Hold it about 30cm away from your roots and spray in short bursts.
-
Let it sit for a minute or two, then massage into your scalp or brush through your hair for an even finish.
How much product should you use for the best results?
Start with a small amount and build up if needed. Overusing can leave a white cast on darker hair.
Are there any tips for maximising its effectiveness?
My tips would start before. you even need to use the product. Using a good shampoo and conditioner that is for your hair type. Ie if you have dry and damaged hair use a good product to help with that. I also recommend if you have fine or oily hair not to use a leavein conditioner if you plan on using dry shampoo. You need to set yourself up to win. The more oil you add to your hair before you need the more you have to have absorbed by the product.
so you start with a good base before you even need to use the product. then use it on dry hair and focus on oily areas like the crown and temples. Flip your hair upside down for added volume. This makes my hair feel clean and refreshed.
Performance and Results
How well does it absorb oil and refresh hair?
The dry shampoo absorbs oil really well even after cardio workouts, leaving hair feeling fresh and clean without the need for water.
Does it leave any residue or white cast on the hair?
While it’s generally residue-free, those with darker hair may notice a slight white cast if too much product is applied. This can easily be brushed out.
But with my fine bleached hair I have never had a problem with white cast.
How does it compare to other dry shampoos in the market?
There is no comparison to other options at a similar price point because they are different. They all have a heaver mist in my option. This dry shampoo holds its own as it has a really fine mist. I can pit this against all the highend dry shampoos I own and it will win hands down. My hair looks and feels great and not weighted down.

My Review
Having tested the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dry Shampoo over the last few years, I’ve been obsessed with it. It’s easy to use, smells divine, and keeps my hair looking fresh between washes. I have used this after workouts on camping trips and to add volume to hair for events. Yes, it has a nice scent but unlike other dry shampoos it doesn't linger and inter fear with your perfume. Which I love. You are not going to get the I can smell coconuts comments with this product. Making it great for nights out.
I have put it to the test for you and believe me it has been tested. I am a mountain biker and after pretty grim bike rides I spray this and I have clean silky hair. I will never not have a can of this in my rotation. I would be heartbroken if this ever gets discontinued. Overall, it’s become a staple in my hair care routine.
