L'Oréal Paris® Botanicals Lavender Soothing Therapy Shampoo Review

As I mentioned in the review for the Duo of the Shampoo and the Conditioner, this shampoo ROCK's big time. 6mths of trying new shampoo's and this arrives and blows me away. My scalp is calm and my hair is so shiny! If you are struggling to find a shampoo that not only agrees 's with your hair but relaxes you at the same time, this is it! I can't wait to buy this in the future, it's definitely worth its price and I highly recommend it!

I have really fine and extreamly curly hair. So finding shampoo thats going to cleanse is properly without totally stripping my scalp is always a mission.

I love the fact the shampoo comes with a pump. There is nothing more annoying than having to reach over and deal with a cap when you're trying to get 'poo into your hands (that said the conditioner comes in a tube..ugh).

It didn't lather too much which I expected but it did a good job of cleaning my hair and prepping it for the conditioning balm.

A very subtle lavander scent which I liked - i've learnt that fragrances are not my friend on my scalp sadly.

All in all a nice shampoo and one that i'll likely keep using until its gone.

Bonus: My hair had a lot of volume after this which I did enjoy!

I found this shampoo amazing!!

It comes in a pump style bottle so easy for getting the product out, but also makes it hard once you get close to end of bottle.

It’s a nice thick shampoo that doesn’t bubble up as such but does a great job in cleaning my hair ready for the conditioning balm. The scent is lovely and not overwhelming at all. And my hair felt super soft after just the shampooing stage so you can imagine how much I liked this product.

Only negative from me is that it didn’t soothe my scalp like it said :( which was the most exciting part for me. Lil disappointed but still in love with this product

I loved the premise of this product, but sadly, its not for me. Let me start by saying the packaging is beautiful, but for me, that's where the positives ended.

The shampoo was a nice consistency but the smell was overpowering. It was way too sickly sweet and intense for me. We have an open shower and it was still too much. After my hair had dried it was still very strong, and while others commented that my hair smelled amazing, to me it was like I'd rolled in a lavender field and had flowers stuck everywhere - overpowering, intense and a little too sickly.

It cleaned my hair well but..... Grease city within 24hrs. I used the conditioner too but didn't on my roots and even just the shampoo was too much for my hair. It didn't soothe, just irritate and over excite. It was easier to brush and didn't knot though, so I'll take that win.

Ive seen this on the supermarket shelves and finally got to give it a go.

Firstly, the packing is beautiful, I love a simple style bottle with the pump!

The lavender scent is quite strong, which i personally like and it actually stays on your hair after washing and styling.

I love that this has no sulfates and parabans that most shampoos have have, and my curly hair LOVED it. Some shampoos make my curly hair dry out so much it just goes frizzy instead of curly. This made my curls amazing!

However, My bleached hair did not like it. Usually I only need to tone with purple shampoo once a week, the oils in this shampoo turned my hair an odd colour after the first use. For this reason I most likely wouldn't repurchase.

I liked this shampoo. First of all I was really excited that it is natural and is paraben, silicone and colourant free and eco friendly. It is infused with lavender essential oil, soya and coconut oils and is meant to be used for fragile hair and sensitive scalp. I used it several times and I can definitely say that it has made a lot of difference to my hair. My hair is much more soft now and not so frizzy as before. It added a bit of shine too and my hair feels hydrated. It has nice and gentle smell which lasts at least for a day. Lavender also has soothing ability so it helps me to relax while having a shower. The shampoo cleans hair well and you don't need to use much for good result. For me one pump was enough so it means it'll last longer. It wasn't irritating neither during wash nor after. Has nice creamy texture. My husband has problematic skin so I thought he would benefit from it too. He liked it too and said it was gentle on his scalp and his hair felt soft afterwards. He also liked that scent is not too much so he didn't feel girlish after using it. So it is great to buy for whole family if you want to have nourished and healthy hair without putting toxins in your body. Highly recommend to everyone.

I used this product hoping that it would help with my sensitive scalp, but unfortunately I did not find any difference between this and my normal product. Which was disappointing considering my normal product is not aimed at sensitive scalps.

The texture was similar to normal shampoos, however, I found it didn't lather as much as other products, which made me feel as though it wasn't getting all the way to my scalp, due to my thick hair.

The smell wasn't what I was expecting and I was hoping for a stronger smell of lavender. Which this did not provide.

I am also not a fan of it's price, considering it's size when I can get a bigger size product that does better things to my hair from other brands.

Overall, I would say that this product is just okay, but I won't be reaching to purchase it.

Was excited to try this , I love the fact it comes in a pump bottle, at first I thought it was hard to get the shampoo out but then realized it was giving you a small amount as that's all you need, it leathers up well and has quite a strong botanical smell. The one thing I found with this I didn't like was that it made my hair really tangled! If u do not use the conditioner it is a battle to brush. Overall it did make my hair shiny and my scalp has been a lot less irritated. I will keep using this product as I do like how my hair feels after using. I like the smell but I dont find the lavender relaxing that much. But I do however like that its organic and cheaper than the organic products you buy at the hairdressers. There is a lot in the bottle so it should last a long time.
