Herbal Essences - Hello Hydration (new range)

Advantages: Lovely smell, great results
Disadvantages: Not keen on packaging

...I got this as a sample in the post after a free samples link went round at work. I?ve never used Herbal Essences shampoo before but had noticed it more since the new packaging that came out this month. (Although I?m actually not that keen on the new packaging) The samples came folded into a nice envelope with loads of details about the new range printed on it. Despite not being that keen on the new bottles I did like the presentation of the samples I received, everything looks really bright and fun and it is eye catching and suits the range which I known for being really fruity and fresh. What it promises? ?Quench thirsty hair with our moisturizing shampoo fused with orchid & coconut milk. Essential moisturizers help replenish your pretty, parched head with hair that is silky and supple.? Usually I go for volume...

Review of Alberto Balsam Herbal Essences

Herbal Essences is a great brand at a great price!

Advantages: Smells lovely, does what it says
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...I've been using Herbal Essences for a while, and I will be continuing to use this brand of shampoo and conditioner, mainly because it does what it's says it will, and the smells are divine. Currently, Herbal Essences are promoting their new, refurbished design, and I have to say I was delighted when I found out you could get a free, re-designed bottle of Herbal Essences along side the original! My opinion of the new design is that it looks sophisticated, professional, and is perfect for first time users - but if you're like me and have been using Herbal Essences with the familiarly known branding for quite a few years, it will take a lot of time getting used to! Clairol created Herbal Essences in the 1960s, aiming to appeal at people particularly interested in organic buys, especially since the hippy craze started around that time...

Herbal Essences Citrus Lift

Advantages: Adds a bit of volume, lasting gorgeous smell
Disadvantages: None

...I saw the advert for Herbal Essences Fruit Fusion new citrus lift on the telly which claims to give you lots of volume, and as I love citrusy smells and had felt my hair was looking a bit flat I thought I would try it. I have medium length (just below shoulders) straight normal hair. I bought it in Boots - they only had the larger 400ml bottles for £2.99. It was easy to spot amongst the Herbal Essences range as is a bright orange bottle. It is in the same style as their other products with the Herbal essences logo but with some oranges in the middle. It states the fruit extracts - tangerine, lemongrass and aloe vera, that it gives uplifting volume and is for fine to normal hair. On the back it claims "Delight yourself in a juicy, energising experience. Fruity and luxurious, this nourishing conditioner, blended with fruit...

Review of Clairol Herbal Essences Fruit Fusions Hydrating Conditioner

True Herbal Essence smelling dye-weird!

Advantages: Doesn't smell chemically, leaves hair soft
Disadvantages: Doesn't take to red hair very well

...the packaging, and this brand is far more exciting to look at on the shelves than the others. It has purple sparkle, the expected picture of the model loving her new colour, list of its advantages and ingredients, nothing out of ordinary, it simply looks nicer than all the other boxes. In the box you get the dye, bottle of mix which the dye is mixed with, a 6 week treatment conditioner and 'posh' feeling gloves. These feel much better standard than most given in the home dye kits. There is also an instruction page which suggests testing for allergic reactions and the strand test. I would advise doing the strand test as this will determine how long the dye stays on for. Herbal essence recommend 20 mins at least, but it can go up to 40 mins if you wish, the strand test gives indication of how long your hair will need. Mine is about 35 mins...

Review of Clairol Herbal Essences Permanent Hair Color

Clairol herbal essences

Advantages: smells gorgeous for days
Disadvantages: Can be a bit pricy in some stores

...Clairol Herbal Essences I was shopping in Safeway the other day and I needed to buy some more shampoo. I have previously used different brands and I wanted to buy the dove shampoo, but they didn?t have any left. So I started looking for another brand. I noticed Clairol herbal essences because of the bottle. It comes in a 250ml bottle with clear packaging and has a lovely picture of a bunch of roses on the back, which you can see through the pink, coloured content. Clairol use 25% post consumer recycled plastic for their bottles and they?re also recyclable so it helps save the environment too. It costs £2.19 but when I looked closer, it was on a ?buy one get one free? offer so I got the conditioner to go with it as well. What a bargain!!!!!! You can buy different bottles for different hair types for example, greasy...

Review of Clairol Herbal Essences Replenisher Shampoo

Herbal Essences - OH YES !!

Advantages: The best smelling shampoo ever!
Disadvantages: Makes you hungry! or maybe thats just me hehe

...Oh yes!! The phrase known from the advert and the perfect way to describe the feeling you get from this product. Herbal Essences Fruit Fusion looks and smells delicious and actually makes my mouth water just smelling the delectable scent it leaves on my hair for days. (Not that I go days without showering or anything! What do you take me for?) Through this review you will notice that I talk about the product as though its edible ? its not, so please don't! But if I could eat it I would. What is Fruit Fusions? Fruit Fusions is an addition to the Clairol Herbal Essences Range that uses fruit extracts to help give your hair that little extra kick. Normal Hair - A pink bottle, which contains extracts of Lychee, Pomegranate and Persimmon. Normal to Greasy Hair - a green bottle, which contains extracts of Kiwi, Kumquat and Fig. Dry...

Review of Clairol Herbal Essences Fruit Fusions Revitalising Shampoo

Herbal Essences Leave In Conditioner

Advantages: Detangles hair, smells nice, makes hair softer
Disadvantages: Doesn't condition hair

...I'm one of those people who just can't be bothered to carefully shampoo twice, condition my hair, and fix it up with hair serum, straightening balm, wax, etc etc. The most effort I make is using a 2-in-1 shampoo and sticking some hair serum to flatten down flyaways. I thought the answer would be this: Herbal Essences Leave In Conditioner. I could just spray some in after washing my hair, and voila, conditioned hair with none of the effort! --- PACKAGING: It comes in a minty-pale green bottle, with a darker green pump spray. The writing is dark green, and there is a picture of some sort of flower on the front, in a circle. It looks cheap, and not at all impressive. What's worse is the writing is in Times New Roman, which I think looks quite common and unattractive! The bottle is quite bulky as well. It contains 200ml. PRICE: I...

New Herbal Essences Range - bring back the old!

Advantages: bigger bottle, same price
Disadvantages: Far lower quality product and nothing like the brilliant salon quality before

...I have been a huge fan of herbal essences Rainforest flowers range for a number of years and used it religously. As I am blessed with Greasy hair that needs a wash every day and have long hair, I was probably one of their best customers. I say was. I too stocked up on the new range with the new giveaways when they brought them out. Confusing to say the least. I was using the Red bottled Dry/damaged shampoo and conditioner which came with the free "hello hydration" bottles, but reading the back of the old shampoo it said "your new shampoo will be called frizz fighter" so that was confusing to start off with. Over the years of using the old Herbal Essences range I've had compliments from both my hairdresser and friends on how brilliantly glossy and conditioned my hair is, despite having soft highlights in it for a number...

Review of Clairol Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Shampoo

Bye Bye Dry Hair, Hello Herbal Essences

Advantages: Works wonders on dry and damaged hair
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...Initially I was drawn to the Clairol Herbal Essences range of hair conditioners through their seductive adverts preceding Desperate Housewives. Normally advertisements have little effect on my purchasing decisions. In fact, I usually press the mute button in defiance when adverts blatantly interrupt my TV programme. However, something about these adverts, with those women erupting into ecstatic convulsions while using Clairol Herbal Essences, had a positive influence over me. I was further persuaded by the Clairol name. I thought Clairol might be a wise choice because I use the Clairol hair colours and have done for years. Included in the box along with the colouring lotion is a little tube of Clairol conditioner. This conditioner works better than anything else I've ever tried, so much so that one day, over 10 years ago, I...

HERBAL ESSENCES THE NEWEST BEST SHAMPOO YET

Advantages: Great shampoo, smells lovely, loads of variety in type
Disadvantages: None really

...I'm quite surprised that no one has wrote an opinion on this new shampoo yet! (You can also buy the conditioner as well) It's only been out for about a month in most leading beauty stores and supermarkets, but still it's so good it definitely deserves a good op! This is the newest brand of shampoo and conditioner by 'Alberto Balsam' There the best shampoo and conditioner that I've ever used on my hair leaving it feel wonderful, clean, healthy and fresh smelling. This opinion that I'm about to write is on the shampoo, my next opinion will surely be one on the conditioner though! These new herbal Essences range is very popular from what I've heard around in the shops and from talking to my friends. I can see why too! You can buy many different flavours and types of the shampoo. I bought the 'Sun Kissed Rasberry' one and was VERY...
