If you’re dealing with oily roots but dry, fragile ends, especially during perimenopause, finding the right shampoo and conditioner can feel like an impossible balancing act. Hormonal changes can leave your scalp producing more oil while your lengths become drier, frizzier, and more prone to breakage — and many nourishing products simply weigh hair down.
In my latest video, L’Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coco Review, I share my honest experience using this popular drugstore coconut oil–based shampoo and conditioner on my perimenopausal hair.

How perimenopause can change your hair texture and needs
Perimenopause often brings unexpected hair changes. You may notice:
Increased oiliness at the scalp
Dryness and fragility through the lengths
More frizz and breakage
Hair that feels harder to balance and style
This is why products marketed as “nourishing” can feel risky — especially if you already struggle with oily roots. The question is whether they can hydrate dry ends without overwhelming the scalp.
What L’Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coco claims to do
The Elvive Extraordinary Oil Coco range is designed to nourish dry hair while keeping it light and manageable. It’s often recommended as an affordable option for hair that needs moisture but not heaviness.
Is coconut oil haircare right for perimenopause?
Coconut oil can be brilliant for softness and shine, but it doesn’t work for everyone — especially when scalp oil and hair porosity come into play. In the video, I share my balanced thoughts on whether coconut oil–based drugstore haircare is a good match for perimenopausal or midlife hair.
This is particularly useful if you’re shopping on a budget but still want products that support changing hair needs.
This post gives you the overview, but the real detail — textures, results, and honest reflections — is in the video.
