L'Oréal Paris® Botanicals Lavender Soothing Therapy Regime Review

Wow! Is the first thing I thought when I opened the top of these beauties to smell, a sweet lavender with a slight hint of mint but a sweet musky scent all around, which stays for days after. The shampoo comes in a generous 400ml pump top, which is built very well and one pump is suitable for my long hair. It is a very silky and foams up a wee bit as I washed my scalp. It left my scalp feeling fresh and very clean yet not that awful 'squeaky clean' that some other brands of shampoo strip your hairs natural oils. So I really like that, as I have long fine hair that is prone to dryness. The bottle is attractive and as it states on the label it is suitable for vegans, and no parabens or silcones.

The conditioner is a tube with a click close lid, which sometimes I did struggle with opening in the shower when my hands where wet, so I had to get a towel to wrap around so I could open the lid, it was a very tight shut which is positive to use when travelling, but negative as some people do have trouble with their hands so this may not be suitable for them. I would have preferred the pump style bottle also. The conditioner is labelled as a 'balm' and it was. It deeply nourished my hair even after my first use, and it was noticeably softer and silkier, so over time with continued use I could see my hair becoming more nourished and smoother.

This range is made for soothing scalps and hydrating delicate hair this worked wonders for my type of hair as sometimes with such a thick based conditioner your hair can be left feeling more heavy, oily and lifeless. This does the opposite, it was light, hydrated and so smooth.

The scent is very florally, but sweet and minty too. I personally loved it but lavender can be quite a strong scent so I know it won't be for everyone.

I will continue to use this brand as it is easy to source as they sell at supermarkets and Farmers, which often do sales.

I am so in love with this set. I didn't think I could fall in love with a shampoo or conditioner. But I have. Big time.

The shampoo comes in a pump (handy!) and does a magnificent job of cleaning my hair. It's left clean, but not stripped. My scalp has stopped itching, I no longer have as many scalp pimples popping up, and my hair isn't as oily as before.

The conditioner comes in a squeeze tube (also handy) and is thick and rich and does a fabulous job of leaving my hair soft and hydrated.

My hair looks SO good. Shiny, soft, healthy.

Second best of all? The scent. It's so yum and turns your shower into a luxurious experience.

I will repurchase and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to those who suffer from itchy scalp and oily heads.

My hair is that wonderful mix of really curly yet super fine.

I walk that dangerous like of having beautiful girls OR a frizzy bird'snest of a do depending on how my hair feels or if it's like...the full moon and there was a blood sacrifice so only then will my hair be perfect.

Anyway. The shampoo has a nice light lather. I liked how it didnt make my hair feel too tangled after nor was it squeaky (meaning over cleansed). The lavender scent is light and pleasent but it doesn't stay long. The biggest bonus is that my scalp didn't feel tight at all. I hate that sensation and it usually ends up with my getting dandruff. Although this doesn't promise to help with that I feel that the fact it doesn't totally strip your hair will help.

The conditioner is thick but does not leave a residue and I was pleased at how much slip my hair had after rinsing it out. I could run my fingers through and my wide tooth comb didny snare as often.

I'd purchase these duos again for the price point.

My hair before had become dry and my scalp itchy and flakey as a result of chlorine being added to the water here not to mention constantly smelling like a swimming pool. Now, my hair feels smoother and appears less frizzy. It has a nice shine and is easier to brush. Then there is the Lavender scent, just amazing! Every time I brush my hair or even just let my hair free of the restraints of a hair tie, I would get this delightful waft of Lavender (not chlorine!). This lasted right up until I next washed my hair. My scalp is definitely less itchy and the flakiness has lessened dramatically too. The Conditioning balm, with its flip top lid and squeeze bottle, was easier to use than the shampoo pump bottle. The pump was quite stiff which made it difficult with wet hands. $17.99rrp each makes this more of a treat rather than an everyday product for me.

Overall this regime was good. The shampoo & conditioner both did what they should without irritating my sensitive scalp. What I liked most about this range was the sizes - 400ml for the shampoo & 200ml for the conditioner. I normally use more shampoo than conditioner at a time so I really liked that this set took that into consideration! I felt good about both products not containing any harmful ingredients. The shampoo cleaned my hair nicely and the conditioner really hydrated the ends. One thing I thought was less than expected was the smell. I was expecting a sweet, smoothing lavender smell but it was quite raw(?), quite different to what I thought. In conclusion I think it is a nice set to use, but for the pricing there may be a lot of different options that may be similar or even better.

A great product and range. I have had sensitive scalp on and off since being pregnant so I was very keen to try this shampoo and conditioner range from L’Oréal.

The shampoo and conditioner are so gentle and soothing. I had no reaction while using this products.

The shampoo has a effective and pump dispenser that controls how much you use and little amount of shampoo goes a long way. I have a medium length hair and with 2-3 pumps I was able to was able to thoroughly wash my hair. After washing and using the corresponding conditioner from the range my hair it felt full of volume, well moisturised and very clean.

After using the L’Oréal lavender conditioner my hair felt soft and clean. Also it was full of volume which I was surprised by as most conditioners leave my hair weighed down. While the aroma of the shampoo and conditioner was very floral it was not too over powering for me. A little of the conditioner went a long way which was great and with the bottle being a good size it should last me a long time so well worth the investment.

I really liked this product range and will certainly be buying it again.

The lavender in these products makes a potent scent which leaves the hair smelling amazing for days. Targeting both hair and scalp health is a great concept, during a weeks usage I did find my hair was shinier and my scalp felt better, I do think at least a months usage of this regime is needed to know if these products do what they say but definitely see potential in it.

I think the design and wording of the packaging is easily read and is quite luxe, the pump on the shampoo is a great feature though being able to pump a larger amount would be helpful. The conditioning balm is only half the product amount of the shampoo which confuses me a little as I didn't feel the product went any further than other brands.

I would repurchase if the price wasn't so high as the scent is super relaxing, has no nasties, the packaging is recyclable and has potential to help my scalp and hair issues.

Im so glad I got the opportunity to trial this range out. Im so impressed and these products are amazing!

One struggle for me is dull, brittle , delicate hair with a very sensitive scalp in the cooler months. If you have any of the above problems...Then you NEED these in your life!

The shampoo and conditioner are infused with lavender essential oil, soya & coconut oils which are super gentle on my scalp and provide a high level of hydration to my hair.

The packaging is stunning and its made of high quality. It makes you feel that your using high end hair care just by holding the bottles in your hands.

The shampoo lathers well and deep cleans. The conditioner is super smooth and for both products a little goes a long way.

The scent is delicious and super long lasting.

I will continue to repurchase these beauties!

They leave my hair hydrated, shiny and feeling amazing. I have had no irritation at all from these.

Usually only using salon hair care I was pleasently supposed with this duo.

The fragrance was Devine soothing my senses as well as sensitive scalp. Packaging: I really like the shampoo pump bottle but would have liked the conditioner to also be in a pump bottle. The shampoo cleansed my hair well which I have found other sufate free shampoos haven't and the conditioner was a nice thick hydrating formula. This was slightly too heavy for my hair but overall OK.

I’m not overly keen on the shampoo but the conditioner really dumbs down the shampoos scent, which is necessary. Good packaging on both and I like that the shampoo has a pump bottle. I won’t have to worry about purchasing hair care for quite some time as the bottle sizes are very generous.

I like that only a small amount of both was needed. They left my hair soft and shiny. I do believe these are worth the rrp even though it’s more than I would usually spend. I would recommend to others.

I’m not sure that 10 days was sufficient time to complete this trial though as I only wash my hair every 3 days, so only got 3 washes in.
