L'Oreal Paris Botanicals Safflower Rich Infusion Conditioner Review

Squeeze for a brilliant conditioner! This conditioner arrived as part of a three part regime, its appearance is of a tube, freshly coloured in seasonal colours and clip lid for easy closure, the pack volumn is adequate for its price bracket. After shampooing my hair I applied this conditioner, again reading the pack for correct amounts and noting that this doesn't appear on the tube, further to note there is no tamper seal in the tube however it was transported with tape over the lid. Easy to grip tube in the shower made for a good experiance. The product itself applied easily to my hair with a no drip and non greasy feel, I left the product on for a couple of minutes to allow it to do it's job, This conditioner washed out easily leaving a subtle smell and lasting softeness that was easily able to be brushed and dried. Once my hair was dry, it was good to note how long the softness lasted for despite harsh treatment, and that was 24 hours minimum still able to be brushed and still with a scent. Over the last week my hair condition has improved, it appears stronger, more easily able to cope harsher environments, and more socfter than ever, my friends are loving the fresh new smell.

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! The packaging had a similar colour theme and style to the shampoo (as they are from the same range), and I 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 squeezy bottle/tube was really easy to use- I had good control of how much product came out and it was easy to grip when wet (this surprised me, as it looks slippery!), and it opened easily and closed tightly. I really enjoyed the smell of this, it was more coconutty than the shampoo and it smelt really clean and fresh. I really really liked the thick and creamy texture of this! It felt really rich and lush on my hair and it was so smooth and silky, it glided with ease onto my hair. When I washed it out, my hair still felt super soft and when it dried it was so silkyyyy and soft and it felt amazing!!! After my shower, my hair felt clean, smooth and soft. No other product has made my hair feel so soft before! I also liked that I didn’t have to use any more conditioner than I usually would. This is my favourite of the three in this range and I would definitely repurchase, I have not felt my hair this smooth in a long time!

Gentle formula, detangles and leaves hair silky, nice smell and suitable for myself and daughters. I use a few times a week and haven’t experienced sensitivity as I do with many products. I like that it has no sulphate etc

I was pleasantly surprised with the smell of this conditioning balm. There were hints of freshness, coconut and a bit minty, I really loved the whiffs of different scents and even dry my hair smells amazing. The consistency is quite thick, it felt kind of like a hair mask which is why I guess they called it a conditioning balm rather than just simply conditioner. I did feel that I had to use a lot of product as my hair is very long and it didn't spread as much as the shampoo. I have quite dry hair from lightening it so much so this product was really put to the test. My hair did seem to untangle easier and my hair felt softer rather than frizzy. The packaging to me was a little bit understated especially compared with the shampoo in this range, I do like that I will be able to cut it open to use up all of the product. I don't think I would repurchase at $17.99 for 200ml due to having to use so much product in one go but I would consider it if it was on special as my hair feels so lovely after using this range.

The ends of my hair are very dry as i have bleached them then dyed over them and i find regular conditioners dont make my hair feel very good except this one. I love the smell and how thick it is , reminds me of a hair mask. I only ever buy this when it is on sale as i find its retail price a bit much for my budget. I have used the shampoo but i find makes no difference if you use the products together or separate.

The conditioner packaging is equally as pretty as the rest of the range, so luxurious!!

I like that the lid is on the bottom, so it makes it easy to use. This is a super thick formula which I LOVE in a conditioner, almost masque like texture. One thing I did notice about this is a little did go a long way (and I have a tonnnnneeee of hair) After i rinsed the conditioner out I felt like their was only a few tangles BUT they were super easy to comb so it did an awesome job of putting moisture back into my super dry ends.

Overall I found this to be really moisturising, and left my hair smelling and feeling sooo good. I have used this a couple of times now and have found that I only need a little conditioner and only on my very ends otherwise it makes my hair a little heavy.

Firstly this range comes in beautiful high end looking packaging - salon quality you could say and would look fab in any bathroom! The scent is a lovely almost minty manly scent, and could certainly be a shared family range that the hubby/partner would be happy to use.

I have a tendency to get oily roots with dry ends (I have colour treated ends - Balayage) and my hair length is just below my shoulders. There are no instructions on the conditioning balm as to how much product to use or how long to leave it on for before rinsing so I left it for a couple of minutes and used a walnut sized amount, after rinsing my hair felt lovely and smooth and once it had air dried for a bit it began to feel very soft (my hair can feel thick and tangled after using some ranges, but this was exceptionally good). The consistency is a lovely thick, creamy smooth texture, and applies easily, I love how my hair instantly felt smooth after rinsing.

I thoroughly enjoyed using this conditioner, and at such an affordable price you cant go wrong.

'My hair was so soft when I washed it I couldn't even feel it' - this was the comment my 7 year old daughter made after using my L'Oreal Paris Botanicals Safflower Rich Infusion Shampoo & conditioner. I have to agree with her as my hair has never felt this soft with my regular shampoo.

We had some trouble working out how to open the shampoo pump but that was more of a user error (should have been wearing my glasses ;-).

I tried different drying techniques to see how it would look and I'm so impressed. After the first wash, I let it dry naturally and I was actually able to leave the house with naturally dried hair that looked half decent. I would never usually leave the house without blowdrying or straightening my hair - or at the very least tying it up as it just sticks out all over the place due to it being dry. After using the botanicals safflower shampoo & conditioner it dried really nicely and sat really well which is unheard of for my hair.

Next up was blow drying, and again, no need to straighten it as it was sitting really well. It looked really soft, silky, shiny and healthy - not the dry lifeless hair I'm accustomed to.

Lastly I blowdried and straightened my hair and it was still so soft, silky and healthy looking after the additional heat treatment. My hair can look a bit like straw sometimes after I've straightened it.

The ointment is also fantastic on both wet and dry hair. I tried the ointment over the weekend on dry hair that had been washed, blowdried and straightened the previous day. It was perfect at smoothing all the fly away hairs, without it looking greasy or unwashed. It actually looked shiny and as if it had been just washed.

We also tried it on wet hair, both my daughter and my own. I felt that it gave some extra protection before blowdrying my hair - definitely less fly away hairs. It was fantastic to use on my daughter's hair as she has long wavy hair which tangles easily. This was fantastic at detangling and leaving her hair looking amazing. All three products smell particularly lovely, as if I've just been to the hairdressers.

Overall we're so impressed with the shampoo, conditioner and ointment that we will definitely be buying this in future. The kids currently have their own shampoo & conditioner but I think I will buy this for all of us in future, or at the very least my daughter and I as it has made a huge improvement for both of us.

A natural conditioner that does what it says has been something I have struggled to find in the past. Well until Beauty Review was kind enough to send me this, along with the rest of Loreal's latest hair range Botanicals Fresh Care - Safflower range.

For my hair type (I have extensions) natural conditioners contain ingredients that don't in fact condition my hair, but instead pretty much make it feel like I haven't conditioned my hair at all. I need as much moisture as possible in my hair, due to the extension not getting the natural oil from my scalp - super important when maintaining hair extensions - This conditioner though, different story. As soon as I washed it out of my hair I could feel a major difference My hair was soft, tangle free and smelt oh so good

Speaking of the scent the conditioner had more of a vanilla/coconut scent (even though there is no coconut listed as an ingredient) than the shampoo did (the shampoo had a slight minty/peppermint smell to it). It's not an overpowering scent but enough for it to linger on your hair for a few days.

I feel that my hair actually stayed softer longer than usual which I think was mostly due to the conditioner.

The one criticism I have on this product is the size. The shampoo comes in 400mls while the conditioner is 200mls. I don't know why this is always the case (conditioners containing less than their shampoo counterpart), and it probably doesn't really warrant being mentioned in this review, but if you were considering buying more in the range it may be an interesting fact for you!

Definitely will be using/purchasing this conditioner again!!! You will love if you like all natural products contained in recyclable packaging!

I 100% love this conditioner! The scent is minty with a slight coconut infused aroma. The conditioner itself is quite thick and I used what I would describe as a "catapillar amount"(looked like a chubby catapillar on my hand haha) I applied mid way down to ends and massaged through my hair and scalp.

I left for a minute or two and rinsed out, instant soft hair and no tangles! Yay..

After towel drying my hair it was still soft and easy to get a comb through, which is awesome as my hair is bleached and would normally tangle and knot.

The scent in my hair was still around 2 days later and my hair was still lush.

I have been using this every 2nd day for the past week and a bit and my hair has honestly never felt so good.

Shiny and soft everytime I use it
