I'm a bit OCD when it comes to using a matching shampoo and conditioner. I think that the 2 were developed to work together and maximise the benefits from the product. And these 2 products confirm this. The shampoo is a deep cleansing yet nourishing formulation. Even though I use alot of styling product in between washes I found that the shampoo was strong enough to wash all the product build up without leaving my hair super dry and stripped. The conditioner is a super thick formulation making it so easy to apply. It left my hair feeling well nourished. My hair was left smelling so fresh and pretty. A nice subtle Lavender fragrance. One aspect of the regime that is quite unique is the the different sized shampoo and condiitoner. The shampoo is twice the size of the conditioner, which I think is a great idea. My shower is a conditioner graveyard, with conditioners not quite finished, while the shampoo is long gone. I will be interested to see if I finish these 2 products at the sometime. All in all a great regime that seems to work really well together.

Reviews
I loved this range - actually surprisingly as Lavender wouldn't be my first port of call fragrance wise.
The sensory experience of using it alone had me hooked. The smell of it in the shower when you're massaging it into your skin...amazing.
Love the packaging especially on the shampoo which had a pump on it. If I was being picky i'd love a pump on the conditioner too, but on the plus side it's easy to tell the bottles apart in the shower when I don't have my glasses on so i'm ok with this.
My hair loved it and it was as good for me as any salon brand i've tried. I'll be sticking with this for a while for sure!
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.
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.
FIrstly I'd like to mention that I am a regular user of natural non-supermarket paraben/SLS free shampoo/conditioner so I'm benchmarking this regime against it. Overall I'd like to say it is a very good product in terms of replicating mainstream shampoo and conditioner expectations. I really enjoyed using these products though I do try and find products which do not contain SLS/SLES (sodium lauryl sulfate/sodiim laureth sulfate). Performance wise it works, the price is great for this level of quality, my hair is glossy and hasn't changed at all (which is a good thing as it's in quite good condition). My only gripe is the power of the smell, it isn't a lavender smell I know, more medicinal and masculine. It's fine after it dries but I thought the intensity of the perfume made it feel less natural for some reason. Overall I think if you are wanting to switch from an high-end supermarket shampoo and want to try something natural then the L'Oreal Paris Botanicals range is a good product to try.
Tips: Perfect for men to try as the fragrance is not at all what I would describe as feminine.
I was looking for a really good conditioner for very fine and straight hair, so far so good. It has a nice creamy consistency but maybe need to use abit more than I normally would. It has a nice fragrance nice and subtle and not too overpowering. It’s a similar price to what I pay for other conditioners so it’s worth the money, although you do use abit more so it maybe slightly more expensive? I love the packaging it’s very appealing. I found it did what it said and my hair has been soft and shiny and it cleanses very well. I’d definitely use this again and would recommend this to my friends
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
Tips: Less is more... dont apply too much as it will make your hair feel oily
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.
These products work great together! The shampoo leaves your hair feeling really nice and thoroughly cleansed, and the conditioner makes your hair lovely and soft, tames my frizzy ends without weighing my hair down. The shampoo lathers up really nicely in the shower and a little bit of both products go a long way. I have quite fine and oily hair that is also easily irritated, and I found this regime really good. The pump bottle on the shampoo is fantastic, I always am a big fan when you don't even need to pick up the bottle in the shower. However, I didn't love the conditioner packaging as I found the cap very difficult to open.
