I love trying new shampoos and conditioners but this is always my go-to if I can't be bothered spending time looking at new ones.
First off, Herbal Essence is a brand I really really trust. Secondly, this smells like HEAVEN. I'd buy this just to sniff!
The consistency is nice and thick and massages in really well. I always shampoo twice and find that when its time for the second one, I only need a pea size amount because lathering just gets too much otherwise! (Turns shower into bubble bath - though not necessarily a bad thing!)
It washes out well and the coconuty smell stays (I just sniff my hair sometimes!) My hair DOES feel silky after using this shampoo and conditioner!!
Does it rehydrate my hair? No idea. It just feels good and looks good and I'm sold on that.
So I have quite damaged hair because I dye it on a regular basis. It's also very oily so I have to wash it every day until I finally buy a dry shampoo. This shampoo and matching conditioner just sorta showed up in my house a couple of months ago, I guess my step mother chose it, so hey, I'll use it. I really didn't expect such great results. I rarely use conditioner but this shampoo on its own makes my hair sooo soft. It really controls oil and it smells absolutely beautiful, just like a Herbal Essences product should. I highly recommend this to anyone. Also I've found that my hair is falling out and breaking a lot less than it used to.
