"After years of indulging in higher priced, salon hair products like Catwalk, Sexy Hair, Alterna, and Matrix, my husband gently requested that I try something, well, cheaper. At first I was completely outraged, being as in love with my hair as I am. He always said my hair was wonderful! Why would he want me to change that? But I love him more than my hair, and since he's the bread winner, I grudgingly agreed. Expecting the horrible results from my high-school days of using Pantiene products, I tried Herbal Essences because of their new marketing (I'm a designer and appreciate fun, thoughtful packaging). To begin with, the smell is, of course, lovely. But the more important part is results! This is going to be in all caps so you fully grasp my meaning: I AM THRILLED WITH THIS CONDITIONER. The shampoo sets it up perfectly without stripping my hair too much, alternating with None Of Your Frizziness Shampoo helps keep it smooth as well. Now, my hair is shiny, easily styled by just smoothing a nickel-size amount of Long Term Relationship cream through while it's wet, letting it air dry (use a bit of the curling mouse if it's diffuser time) I have virtually no frizz. The Best part is how SOFT and touchable my hair is now. Before, the products I used made it look pretty good, but not exactly fun to run my fingers through. On top of all that, I can buy all the ones I need and only spend the amount I used to on ONE bottle of my other shampoo. Thrilled, Completely thrilled!
If you just want to skim this review, here's what you need to know:
Shampoo and Conditioner= Fantastic
additional products to use: Mouse, Long Term Relationship leave-in and shampoo.
Little extra hint: use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute products through your whole routine, especially conditioner and leave-in
Finally: My stylist never even noticed I switched products!"
