L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Clay - Does it work?

I actually fit the bill for this product perfectly, I've always had oily roots but dry ends. I have to wash my hair every other day and use dry shampoo in-between, which as you can imagine is an absolute nightmare! I have tried all sorts to help my hair become more balanced, but nothing has worked. When I saw this range I was so excited that finally something was out there for this annoying hair type I have... But does it make my hair feel "purified" for 72 hours?

In short, for 72 hours, it doesn't *rolls eyes* But I do still really like this system. I've noticed that my hair has become less greasy, even if only slightly there is a difference. I was worried that the clay would leave my roots feeling stripped of moisture, dry and frizzy, but thankfully it doesn't. After initial use my hair felt light weight, it was clean at the roots and fairly nourished at the ends! I would say my hair really is the extreme, so if your roots don't get too oily I feel like this would work so well for you. Or if you wanted a deep clean for your roots once a week this would be a fab option for that. 

The clay part to all of this is a bit of a faff, I've used a lot of it up already so I'll be needing to repurchase that way before the shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner is good because it doesn't leave my fine hair feeling weighed down at all, but I feel like it could be more nourishing than it is so I still use a deep conditioner on the ends of my hair once a week.

If you have a similar hair type to my then please help a girl out and share how to control it. I feel like I have tried everything, from not washing my hair as often to conditioning before using shampoo... nothing seems to really work. Overall I love the concept of this, but my hair needs something even more powerful!
