L'Oreal Paris Botanicals Coriander Strength Cure Shampoo Review

So I've been struggling to find a shampoo for months that works well with my hair. I have a lot of fine hair that hates the winter and loves to be frizzy. this shampoo makes my hair feel so much softer and doesn't weigh it down!

Over the past week using this shampoo along side the conditioner and strength potion I have found amazing results. I have to be honest and say that seeing the word Coriander I wasn't sure on how it would smell and yes it does have a strong smell buts its very natural and once your hair is dry I couldn't smell it at all! Also I have long hair, down to my ribs and it dried exceptionally fast! I did have to use more product then normal but the results after using it three times, I would 100% repurchase, my hair looked so much and felt so much healthier after a short period of time!

When I received this product I was excited as I am a huge fan of coriander. The scent of this shampoo is amazing and I absolutely loved how the scent lasted in my hair for a short amount of time.

The pump bottle packaging is exactly what I like to use and I found that a couple of pumps was ample to cover all my hair.

I used this shampoo in conjunction with the conditioner and also the strength potion. I found that my hair became stronger with less breakages when brushing and styling my hair.

The only downside was that I found my hair became oilier quicker than when I use my normal shampoo.

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 bottles remind 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. The shampoo itself the packaging I’m not a huge fan of. The pump only dispenses a small amount of product and I find it quite difficult to push down on – but really in the scheme of things that isn’t a big deal.

The scent of this 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. I find I need to use quite a bit of this product to get a good lather in my hair – but this might be because of my lack of experience of products without parabens or silicones which is supposed to be good for your hair. On the website it says you need to use three knobs worth, which I think is probably about right (knob is their word - really!). I do find that it makes my hair feel a bit tangled but I don’t mind as it makes it feel very clean. However I do think you need to use it in conjunction with the rest of the range to see the benefits of it to make sure that your hair isn’t dried out.

I don’t know if I would purchase this particular product again, but I am certainly interested in the rest of this range and will keep an eye out for it (when it is on special that is).

My hair has suffered over the years, mostly from chemically straightening and heat. As a result I am always looking for a product to give my hair a bit more love and hopefully life. After being sent the range to try I am stoked with the results, my hair feels amazing and it didn't react with my sculpt (like some products do) so a total win!

I really like the packaging that L'Oréal have used for their new range. I like how the brown bottle goes nicely with the green on the label. It's simple but lovely.

I absolutely adore the smell. It's a fresh, earthy, herby natural kind of scent and it's quite strong. I have gotten a few compliments about how good my hair smells though!

I like how it's a pump bottle but, the shampoo is a little thick to effectively use the pump. You really have to press down hard to get the shampoo out. Not sure if that's just my particular bottle or the whole range.

The shampoo lathers up pretty well once you start massaging it in. It does make my hair feel dry but most shampoos do anyway.

Overall, I haven't noticed a huge difference in strength from this shampoo but as I've been using the trio of products together, I feel the whole range is definitely working together as I have noticed less breakage.

First off, I really like the packaging of this shampoo. The design looks a lot nicer than just your stander L'Oreal hair products and I like that the shampoo is in a different style bottle to the conditioner. The only thing I can fault is the pump! It is super stiff to try and push down, and it only dispenses a very small amount. I have long but thin hair and find I need 3-4 pumps worth and because it's so difficult it's a bit of a pain. The shampoo itself I love though, it's a clear gel consistency with a subtle coriander scent to it which although is very different, I actually really liked. It cleans my hair/scalp really well but doesn't leave it feeling stripped or dried out. It's light on my thin hair and doesn't leave any residue on my scalp. I would definitely repurchase this shampoo, but I wish they would fix the pump!

I've been searching for a shampoo that is natural and will help to repair my mop - and it truly is a mop - that is suffering at the moment from all sorts of stress and punishment so I was excited to be accepted into the trial team for the L'Oreal Paris Botanicals Coriander Strength Cure Shampoo. Now don't let the name 'coriander' put those of you 'coriander-haters' out there put you off and I know there are always the two camps - those who love coriander and those who don't. (That debate has always fascinated me - they are two very passionate groups I've found). Anyway, I digress, as I often do. I was a little bit wary of the hype and also of the fact that this was an all-natural product as I've often reacted in the past to products such as these and have come out in an interesting rash and scratched myself silly but I love L'Oreal products and trust them absolutely so I was keen to give them a go and see what would happen. I mean, I was desperate for something to tame this mop which, at the best of times looks as though my only styling 'tool' in the mornings is currently an electric socket to which my finger has been connected! I've been trialling the shampoo for a week and I can honestly say that this, in combination with the other products, is doing what it says it should do. I've noticed that my hair is more manageable and the frizz is slowly disappearing. The added bonus is no 'nasties' in terms of chemicals. If you're after a value for money product that does what it says then this is a great place to start - even if you're in the anti-coriander camp.

I used this shampoo as part of the whole L’Oréal Paris Botanicals Fresh Care with Coriander Regime - with the conditioner and the strengthening potion. Within a week my hair was a bit stronger - mostly through noticing a lot less hair loss in the shower (which means it wasn't breaking as much).

The shampoo comes in a large brown pump bottle. The pump is quite tough and hard to get the product out (takes two hard pushes to get out the right amount), but it does make it a lot easier than having to pick up wet bottles.

The shampoo is clear (which was a nice surprise) and like the other products has a very strong scent - very earthy, herby smelling. It doesn't however smell like coriander - so if you hate coriander, don't let these products put you off.

It lathers well and gives a really deep clean - so well that I definitely need the conditioner afterwards to detangle and remoisturise my hair.

The shampoo: This shampoo came in a really nice bottle, I like the pump and it is a nice shape bottle. with nice packaging which makes the product seem high quality. 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. I found that my hair felt slightly dry after washing it before I used the conditioner so I did always use them together when I was using them. I didn't have any issues with my hair turning oily or getting dry or anything so I don't think it affected my scalp too much!
