L'Oréal Paris® Botanicals Lavender Soothing Therapy Regime Review

When paired together I think these products work wonders on my hair, the creamy consistency spreads well through my hair and has a pleasant smell. It was a little odd tht the containers were different I think I would prefer they were both pumps. My scalp has felt less irritated and I haven't felt the need to wash my hair almost every day which I have been doing with previous conditioners which left my hair feeling flat and oily. I love that it's made from organic products . The price is slightly on the high side but I found you didn't need to use too much product so it should last. As for the lavender relaxing claims, I didn't really notice to be honest. The conditioner counteracted the shampoo from tangling. So I think it's best you use both the shampoo and conditioner. Not the salon feel finish that I dream of but definitely the best combo i have tried recently

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.

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.

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.

The lavender range in the botanical series has the same high quality ingredients and packaging as the other botanical shampoos and conditioners. I really like that it contains no Sulphates, Silicones, Parabens and Colourants and the packaging is 100 percentage recyclable too, this truly gives off the botanical vibe.

Both the shampoo and conditioner left my hair easier to manage in terms of knots and frizz and it didn’t leave my hair greasy. I felt it lived up to it’s claims of nourishing fine and fragile hair and it felt great on my sensitive scalp.

The smell unfortunately let this range down for me as I found it quite masculine and not the traditional lavender smell I was hoping for.

Overall I liked how fresh and clean my hair felt from using these products. I will continue to use up these products but would look at repurchasing another range in the botanical series purely due to smell. I personally believe the botanical series of shampoos and conditioners are a very affordable range of high quality shampoos and conditioners that are widely available from the supermarket.

Sometimes you gals on Beauty Review really know how to enable a fella. In my case, it was seeing the trial and the word lavender. Then it was the flashing ads with the reviews saying how good this stuff was. The final nail in my coffin was the offer of beauty points when you bought a hair dryer… So I threw these in my cart when I bought the shiny new toy. I do not regret it.

I love all things lavender, but only if it smells like real lavender. If it smells like toilet lavender I am so far out of there you’ll hear me meep meeping as I run away. This set is kind of a combination of the two – usually it’s a really nice floral hit with good lavender being the main smell, but I’ve had a few times where all I seem to smell is toilet lavender. Thankfully, 9 out of ten times this set has been used, it’s been the delightful former smell.

The shampoo is in a pump bottle and the conditioner is in a flip top lid. If I had it my way I would put the shampoo in a flip top bottle too, I absolutely hate the design. It’s far too thick to be messing around with a pump! The conditioner is also quite thick, they call it a balm but to me a balm is waxier, and this is definitely not that. It is thick like balm though, so you do not need a lot! The shampoo is in a 400ml bottle and the conditioner in a 200ml bottle, but that’s fine. Some people are upset about it, but to be honest – the amount of conditioner you use should last you well until after you’ve used the shampoo up. You literally need the tiniest amount you can imagine.

The set claims to soothe and hydrate. I didn’t think I could comment on it soothing my scalp but in actual fact my head has been less itchy than normal, which is a nice bonus. As for hydrating, I think it hydrates to a point, but after a day my hair feels oily again. The combination makes my hair so incredibly soft after washing and I’m unable to stop touching it, so maybe that’s why it gets oily so fast. It’s nothing that dry shampoo can’t fix for a day, but even that can’t help all that much.

The smell lingers in the hair for the first day, but after that it’s just a mild hair smell. I do wish it was more potent though. I do have one gripe with the shampoo, I’m pretty sure it’s been breaking my scalp out! Each time I’ve used it I’ve had a little scalp pimple show up somewhere in my hair. It’s fine cos I don’t mind them but it’s something to be mindful of, I guess. Otherwise, I truly enjoyed my showers when I used these products, and I’d gladly repurchase when Farmers have buy 1 get one half price again!

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.

Love these two products!!

Hair is hydrated which is something I’ve always struggled with in winter. Soft, fly aways under control but I didn’t find it soothed my scalp in anyway.

Scent is beautiful and not overwhelming in anyway.

Only negative is the conditioner bottle would be better if in a pump like the shampoo.

So I'm perimenopausal currently and for the last 6mths, I've been through I don't know how many shampoo and conditioners, trying to find something that will love my scalp and hair...Guess what?? I found it!!! This shampoo and conditioner was on my doorstep when my daughter and I got home from being in the hospital and all I wanted was a nice hot shower and clean here...out came the Botanical's lavender soothing Therapy Regime and OMG, I'm in love. My scalp for the first time in months feels so calm and my hair feels so silky smooth and loved. As for the lavender scent, it makes the shower even more calming and relaxing. Thank you not only for the chance to review this amazing duo but also for finally fixing my crazy hair...

The first thing you notice about this product is the gorgeous lavender smell. It was a really pleasant surprise and makes your simple shower a luxurious one.

I have been struggling with dull, dry fragile hair this cold winter. Since the first wash - using this Lavender Soothing Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner combo - I saw a major improvement in my hair and it keeps getting better. My hair is soft, feels moisturised and looks healthy. My curls are starting to bounce back too, which I am very happy about.

In terms of consistency, the shampoo is quite light, easy to work through the hair, and lathers nicely. The conditioner is creamy and smoothing, and I find it softens and detangles my curls well. I use a comb after shower, and have noticed an improvement in tangles and knots (which frequented my dry hair!). The conditioner is so soft, it feels like a hair mask. I usually leave this in for a few minutes before rinsing out.

Packaging wise, the shampoo is in a nice pump bottle and the conditioner in a squeeze tube. It's easy to control how much you want to use from these dispensers and I think they've done a good job with the overall packing look.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. I am keen to try the other scents just because I am so impressed with the way this one smells and feels in my hair.
