L'Oréal Paris® Botanicals Lavender Soothing Therapy Regime Review

I am thrilled with the Botanicals Lavender Soothing Therapy Regime. This product solves every one of my issues in one product! My fine hair has more volume and is smoother than it has ever been without using salon products (and paying salon prices). After two weeks of using this product my skin is less inflammed - it really is gentle and I feel no stinging sensation. I am also so pleased to find that this regime also contains no suplhates and silicones as this is also on my wish list. This really is the perfect product for me.

Both the shampoo and conditioner had an unfortunate similarity in smell to the purple Dettol disinfectant cleaner that I use, so that is enough to put me off using them again. But even if I liked the smell, I didn't find the product did what it advertised. My hair didn't feel hydrated, in fact it was frizzier than normal. The conditioner bottle was also hard to open.

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.

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.

The shampoo comes in a handy pump bottle and is a good size at 400ml. The conditioner comes in a tube half the size. I had grumbles inside over that! Both products are free from parabens and silicones and are a more natural product than the average supermarket hair care.

For a supermarket product, the price seems a bit...pricey. But it definitely feels like a quality product in terms of packaging and branding.

The shampoo and conditioner are both the perfect consistency. The 'poo lathers nicely with one wash and leaves your hair feeling clean, but not over clean. The conditioner is rich and creamy and feels really hydrating.

The lavender scent is just beautiful. Really gorgeous and you can smell it throughout the day which I love.

I have quite a sensitive scalp with a persistent dry patch but over the course of this trial my scalp actually feels soothed and less 'angry'.

So...is it worth the price? I really think it is. A more natural product choice that leaves hair soft and manageable...without irritating my over-dramatic scalp. Winning!

I love the packaging is beautiful and looks so sleek and lovely in the shower. However, the shampoo comes in a 400mL size conditioner in 200mL which is a little inconvenient. I found a little bit of shampoo went a long way and you need a little more of the conditioner as it is very thick. I think in the long term you would go through the conditioner way faster and need to purchase more often due it only being half the size.

I love the whole organic and more natural idea behind the product. It has no sulfates, parabens, silicones or colourants which is really nice. Also a plus that it is vegan. I also noticed the bottle stated it was made from 100% recycled materials.

I enjoyed the smell- it’s a mixture of lavender and coconut. If you didn’t like lavender you probably wouldn’t like it as much especially because the smell definitely does linge in your hair even after it has dried. . It could be used as a multi-sex product as well because it does have a slight masculine scent. I really did like the smell and found it really calming and relaxing to use.

The shampoo and conditioner work really well together. I found my hair felt very clean and almost slight stripped after using the shampoo. It was very knotty but using the conditioner afterwards puts back all the moisture and detangles. Would reccomend that the products be used together!! The regimen when used together made my hair feel very hydrated and smooth!! I loved the way it felt after using it but noticed it probably didn’t look as shiny as usual.

Overall I loved the concept behind it and the smell. I found my hair felt very hydrated and smooth after using it. Major fault is the conditioner only being half the size of the shampoo.

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.

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.

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.

I had high hopes for the regime, and was expecting my scalp sensitivity to reduce, but it did not out perform any other products I already use. It was on par with other products that aren't aimed at sensitive scalps.

I liked the packaging, however, the difference in the bottles sizes was very annoying. I use more conditioner than shampoo and so I will likely finish the conditioner way before the shampoo, which is frustrating as they are part of a regime.

I have thick, wavy hair, and this regime gave me serious volume and looked borderline oily, not on the roots but on the hair overall. I definitely do not need extra volume, so I ended up looking crazy.

I was hoping that the smell would be more true to lavender, but I found it to have a miscellaneous type smell.

Overall, I was disappointed with this regime, as I expected more. I did get my friend to try this too, and she mentioned that it didn't make her scalp condition (psoriasis) any worse, so I think this is quite good. It did not wow me, nor do anything I don't already have from other products, so I am saying it's okay, but definitely not one I will look at buying.
