L'Oreal Paris Botanicals Safflower Rich Infusion Shampoo Review

This shampoo comes in a brown bottle pretty naturally looking different shape to most shampoo bottles. I personally don't find too appealing given all the brands on the shelf I wouldn't have picked it from its looks. I had seen it on Beauty review and as it was on sale had to give it a go.

I found the pump took a lot of pumps to start it off and didn't put out a lot of shampoo at a time which made me feel like I was using a lot given the amount of pumps I had to use to get a decent amount out.

It's a creaming colour shampoo and didn't really bubble up like other shampoo.

The shampoo is ok it did leave my hair feeling silky and nourished. However I'm not a fan of the smell so wouldn't repurchase myself but it definitely does the job.

This shampoo, does exactly what it says it does, leaves my hair feeling clean and fresh, and I have had no issue with dandruff which I have suffered from in the past with other products. Doesn't leave my hair feeling oily or dry and because I have coloured hair I have not noticed any fading which is an added bonus.

I received the Loreal Paris Botanticals Shampoo from BR to trial. The packaging of this shampoo is gorgeous, really eye catching and has that salon look to it but not the big price tag (retail $17.99). Would happily have it displayed in my bathroom for all to see! The pump lid is just fantastic,so convenient & easy to pump just the right amount and not waste any.

The smell is delish - very caramely (my husband and kids tried it too) and we all give it a big thumbs up in the scent department. It lingers in your hair for about 3 days after too.

It foams up quickly and spreads nicely to give long or short hair a really deep clean. For my hair that is bleached blonde, very long and dry I started to notice after I washed out the shampoo my hair was feel stringey and felt a bit crunchy. For my husband and children their hair was super silky soft after washing out the shampoo. After my hair had dried it was tangle free but still quite dry compared to after I would normally wash it with my normal shampoo Personally I don't think I would buy this or recommended it for friends who have heavily bleached hair as it really wasn't nourishing enough for my dry hair...however my husband loves the shampoo and would definitely buy it again for himself and the kids If I was to dye my hair back dark or let my natural hair colour grow out I would most definitely purchase this shampoo to use

I was really excited to be trialling this, as I always go for more natural products without parabens, so this is right up my alley! I liked the pump packaging and thought it was really easy to use and to control the amount of product that came out. The nozzle can also be turned off to be switched on or off. I suspect that it may be more difficult to get product out near the end though! I also thought that the colour scheme and design fitted well with the ‘Botanicals” theme, as it has autumn-type brown and orange tones, making it earthy but still modern. The product is a pearly white colour and was silky smooth texture. However, I found that I had to use close to twice as much shampoo as I normally would to get it to spread properly. I like the smell of this, it’s some blend of coconut, floral and citrus notes. It’s really refreshing! My hair felt clean and smooth after using this shampoo and it did feel quite nourished! As I have quite long and thick hair, I didn’t find that it detangled it any more than my usual shampoo would, but that didn’t particularly bother me. Overall, my hair is usually quite dry, but it has been feeling smoother, softer and more nourished since using this product (and the rest of those in this range). I would like to see how long it lasts me, as I am using more product, however it seems to be working so far!

Loreal botanical shampoo

I have been using this shampoo along with the conditioner and treatment in this range. I have dry hair, especially on the ends which is also very thick and long. I also often get a dry scalp and get dandruff. I was hoping for this shampoo to add some moisture to my hair.

I found that this shampoo made my hair feel nice and soft. However my roots generally aren't too dry. I haven't noticed a difference to the dryness of my scalp. I also was expecting my hair to feel softer. I have only been using this for one week though so I think I will need to continue to use it for a couple of months to see good results.

I found that this shampoo didn't lather as easily compared to my regular shampoo or other shampoos I have used. This made it a bit harder to apply and rub into my scalp and hair. I also found I needed to use twice as much shampoo as I usually use.

The scent of this shampoo smells of coconut, I don't know what safflower smells like and whether it's actually the safflower I'm smelling but to me the coconut smell is strong.

The shampoo comes in a pump bottle, which is a bit different to your normal squeezy bottle. I don't mind it being in a pump and I actually find it easier to dispense the product. However I can imagine that when you get to the bottom of the bottle it will be hard empty the product out.

Overall, this shampoo was just ok. It did an ok job at cleaning my hair and it did make my hair feel soft but not as much as I expected. I will continue to use this shampoo but I don't think I will purchase this again.

Using this shampoo has got me mixed in feelings about it. Just you know I have shoulder length hair and it is coarse. Super dry through winter months! I love the bottle itself as the nozzle can "lock" (now that I have a 1.5yr old Mr who loves to open things and squeeze everything out lol)

At 1st I used 2 pumps.. which ddnt do anything! Didn't spread at all. I washed my hair 3 times to get any real result of getting it going. Super annoying that I had to use so much shampoo. It did however not tangle up like it normally would after shampooing so super pleased with that. Love the scent aswell it's like minty coconut.

All in all wouldn't purchase this shampoo again as I have to use so much for it to do anothing.
