L’Oréal Paris Botanicals Fresh Care with Coriander Regime Review

This was a lovely trial to be chosen for as my over coloured hair was desperate for some help. I loved the pump action container for the shampoo and the herbal scent got me from the start. Lovely to use and so kind on my dry damaged hair. The conditioner was fantastic on my hair restoring shine and softness and again with that lovely scent however I would have liked a pump action container for ease of use. The serum was a nice extra for daily use and gave the ends of my hair some body and I was able to brush without any tangles or knots. Overall the three products are outstanding together and my hair has never felt or looked so good. I have received quite a few compliments which have been a long time coming . Overall I will definitely purchase the shampoo and conditioner and will continue to assess the serum over the long term.

I would recommend this range to people who are eco and environment concerned, Those who like the idea of natural plant based products, those who get head aches, greasy scalp, itchy scalp/mild dandruff, sore muscles and those wanting silicone and paraben free products. This range may be ideal for people with mild skin conditions. The coriander oil has ant-fungal, anti-bacterial, stimulating, calming, aphrodisiac, antispasmodic, analgesic, and the smell of coriander is good for a deodorant, improves appetite, and nausea. I would not recommend this to those who worry about animal testing as this brand does do it. I have enjoyed trialing these products and learning about the good things coriander can do. Too pricey for me to re buy and I am not a big fan of the scent but it is a nice treat

I absolutely love this range. It has made a huge change to the health of my hair. My hair has been very sad for a lot of years because of dyeing and straightening and basic ill-treatment. Now after using this as my hair washing and care its healthy and shinning. People have even commented on how healthy my hair is looking which is a major confidence booster. I love the way this smell as well, nice and fresh. I have recommended this to ll my friends and family.

I have tried the Safflower one, so when the opportunity came to try this as well, and even though the coriander made me a little skeptical, I jumped at it. My hair can't seem to make up it's mind what it's issue is. I've struggled with it being oily for so long and I think all the things I have used to try and combat that have sapped it of life and damaged it, so I was looking forward to seeing what this could do.

First off - I love the packaging of this range. It just looks really pretty next to the other shower products that look so similar to each other. I don't like how small the conditioner is - I use way more conditioner than shampoo, as I think most people do, so I think the size range should match.

The shampoo is quite thick and feels luxurious as you run it through your hair. The scent was actually quite surprising, fresh and a little spicy. Not the overpowering coriander I feared. It takes a little extra to get the lather that I like. The conditioner feels quite heavy, like a treatment. I liked the softness of my hair after using this. The strength potion is my favourite - like a leave in conditioner. My hair felt really soft and smooth after it dried.

I think this range is great, the only thing that puts me off a bit is the price. I understand why the price point is more, but I have done some other trials that have been great for my hair and not had the high price point. I think I prefer the Safflower range, the smell is more me, but I will stick with the strength potion.

The shampoo: This shampoo came in a really nice bottle, I like the pump and it is a nice shape bottle. This shampoo did what it said, cleaned my hair which is obviously what i'm looking for most in a shampoo. It does smell quite strong but the smell isn't too much like coriander it has some sweetness in it as well so I wouldn't say it is a bad smell just a distinctive smell. This shampoo lathered nicely but not too much.

The conditioner: I like this conditioner it was very creamy and thick which I like and it was very easy to massage into my hair. I feel like it was very hydrating but no to the point where it was hard to wash out. This also had the same scent as the shampoo but comes in a squeeze bottle instead of a pump bottle. This was only half the size of the shampoo so if you are someone who uses them up about the same, you would need two of these per shampoo.

The serum: I liked this serum, it was very light and almost felt like thick water when applied as opposed to lots of hair serums which are quite thick and oily. The bottle was very good and it has a squeezy tube to get the product out which is nice. It is also quite hydrating but doesn't make your hair feel like you have anything in it.

Overall I like this range, I think it says what it does, and it comes in nice packaging which is always a plus. I would definitely purchase the conditioner again and probably the shampoo and serum as well.

I was really excited to be chosen to trial the shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in treatment from this range. My colour and heat treated hair is in need of some extra love so I take whatever I can get that will help it out. I’m usually a supermarket shampoo/conditioner girl so trying something from L’Oreal which is in that next price bracket up is a bit of a treat.

I really like the packaging of this range. The brown color reminds me of older style apothecary bottles that you would find in a pharmacy – but being completely made out of recycled materials (other than the dye) means it has that modern twist. In particular with this product being in a bottle with a dropper makes it feel even more like a treatment or pharmacy product. The scent of this range isn’t something I’m a big fan of. I find it interesting that they decided to go with coriander given that some people are genetically disposed to hate it (it tastes like soap to some people). Luckily I’m not one of those people, and I adore coriander usually. Unfortunately though the herbally scent really doesn’t do it for me and smells a wee bit too strong – a wee bit like a medication rather than a spa experience I wanted. Luckily even after using all three products in this range I can’t smell the product afterwards.

Shampoo – This was probably my least favourite product of the range. Not particularly sudsy and made my hair a wee bit dry – but works in combination with the rest of the range.

Conditioner – This is a super thick conditioner that is really good. Probably more of a treatment than a conditioner.

Treatment – This has been my fav product of the range. Doesn’t weigh my hair down and makes it soft and more manageable.

I like this range, but unfortunately the scent doesn’t really do it for me. I think I might just have to try another scent in this range!

I really like this range. The packaging is simple but quite attractive with its recycled bottle and green on the label.

The whole range all smells the same but it's such a fresh, earthy, herby natural smell. I get compliments all the time about how good my hair smells!

I like how the conditioner is a balm as it really penetrates my hair and softens it.

I think all three of the products in the range work really well together to strengthen my hair while keeping it soft and hydrated. I have noticed that my ends have been getting a little dry, but I think that might be down to just needing a hair cut!

I'm definitely going to try the other types that L'Oréal have created!

The packaging for this range is made from recycled plastic which I love!

The scent is AMAZING its a herbal fresh scent and even after 2 days I can still smell it in my hair.

Firstly the shampoo is lovely and thick and the pump bottle is awesome! It lathers up to a thick indulgent lather without drying my hair out.

The conditioning balm is deffinately what it says it is. It is super thick and moisture rich deffinatly leaving my hair tangle free and silky soft.

The potion is a generous size and I love that it comes in a dropper bottle which controls how much you use to minimize wastage. It leaves my hair feeling soft and protected without the nasty oily look.

Using these 3 products together is just fabulous. My hair feels stronger and have noticed a significant decrease in hair breakage. I have very fine hair and I have also noticed more volume which amazes me. I truely don't have anything negative to say about this system and strongly recommend trying it for yourself.

I purchased the shampoo, conditioner and strength potion with the hope I could find a reasonably priced product range that had less chemicals and was naturally made. I am thrilled with my purchase, generous size packaging and the price too. My only gripe is the pump on the shampoo wasn't so friendly to use in the shower when wet. After using the shampoo (which lathered beautifully) , conditioner and strength potion my hair feels naturally clean and not bound down with 'extras'. I love knowing what I'm using is free of silicons, parabens and colorings!! What makes me the most happy is that the bottles and packaging are made from recycled materials and 100% recyclable!

I have loved using this combination of shampoo, conditioner and my most favourite of all the strength potion! I'm so keen to use products that don't contain nasty chemicals but also want a good result for my coloured and damaged hair, a girl can have both I've discovered. The packaging of this product is quite retro and most importantly made from 100% recycled materials well done L'Oréal. My hair feels stronger for using this product and I really like the extra help (always) from the strength potion doesn't weigh the hair down but I think it gives me more protection of my hair when styling.
