L'Oréal Paris® Botanicals Lavender Soothing Therapy Shampoo Review

Oh L'Oreal - what a wonderful range!

The shampoo comes in a handy pump bottle and is a good size at 400ml. For a supermarket product, the price seems a bit...pricey. Will it be worth it?

Well its free from parabens and silicones and is a more natural shampoo than the average. It definitely feels like a quality product in terms of packaging and branding.

The shampoo itself is dare I say it...the perfect consistency. It lathers nicely with one wash (I detest double-washing) and leaves your hair feeling clean, but not over clean.

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 - this shampoo didn't irritate it at all, and over the course of this trial my scalp actually feels soothed and less 'angry'.

So...is it worth the price...

YES!! Buy it. Even if you don't have sensitive scalp!

Two words. Love it, love it! (ok that's actually four words..but anyway)

As you may have guess if you've read my reviews on the range and the conditioner, this has been an unexpected find for me. I didn't expect to love it as much as I do.

I love the pump that the Shampoo comes in and the bottle is generous but not over large.

I think this range performs as well as a salon brand and I love the smell which is distinctively lavender but not overpowering.

My hair looked and felt great. It may seem a little pricy for a Supermarket Brand but a little goes a long way.

It should be fairly obvious to anyone on this site by now that I love vanilla and I love lavender. There's just something about them! I'm glad I bought this shampoo when I did, I got the conditioner for half price (but spent over $200 anyway buying a hair dryer hahaahaha).

I don't like the pump action design. I hate it. The shampoo is thick and I feel like when I get to the end of the bottle I'll be taking the pump out and smacking the crap out of the bottle like its tomato sauce (another love of mine). However I don't think that'll be for a while though, as I don't use it often, and its a massive 400ml bottle.

The smell isn't as powerful as I'd like, and as mentioned in the duo review, 9/10 times it smells like a proper florally lavender field, the other times I get a slight hint of toilet. It's not enough to deter me however, because the results speak for themselves.

This truly does soothe my scalp, my hair or scalp feels way less itchy than ever, and I feel like I have less dandruff. As for hydrating, well my hair feels nice and soft always after using it so I guess that pays off too!

Using this morning or night I feel instantly relaxed. It's like my brain knows its okay to chill out and take it easy. I really enjoy this shampoo, even with the dreaded pump, and I'd buy it again for sure. It's the only lavender shampoo I've ever seen on the market!

The shampoo is so gentle and soothing. I had no reaction while using this product. It has a effective and pump dispenser that controls how much you use and little amount of shampoo goes a long way. I have a medium length hair and with 2-3 pumps I was able to was able to thoroughly wash my hair. After washing and using the corresponding conditioner from the range my hair it felt full of volume, well moisturised and very clean.

I love lavender so when I saw these on Beauty Review I put them on the mental wish list and snapped them up when I saw them in store.

The shampoo pump bottle is great - so useful for in the shower as it means you don't have to fiddle around with caps or lids. 400ml is a nice hefty size too, I'll get months of use out it.

You only need a small amound (50c coin) to get a good lather. My hair is mid-back length and I really feel that amount did the job. I focus more on the roots when washing anyway.

This is particularly lovely to use during an evening shower - the lavender scent is so relaxing and fills the shower. Mixed with the steam its like a sauna in a spa. So, so nice!

My hair felt shiny and strong after washing using this shampoo.

This shampoo comes in a pump bottle which I did find a bit hard to open and begin using (probably user error haha). I love the pump bottle because it’s so easy and means you aren’t using more than you need. My hair is medium length and one small pump was enough to do my whole head- a little goes a long way which is great!! It lathers so well which is what I love in a shampoo!! It makes your hair feel really clean which is good but also a little bit tangly so I recommend using with a thick and norishing conditioner. I have quite sensitive skin and scalp but the shampoo didn’t irritate my scalp at all. I love the relaxing lavender smell and found it so lovely to use. I love how much it lathers and how clean it makes your hair feel.

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
