Clairol Herbal Essence Shampoo/Replenisher

I loved the idea of herbal essences shampoo and conditioner right from the first time i saw the advert on tv for it, it appealed to me because it is made with a lot of natural ingredients and is supposed to smell lovely. The only plus side i have found to this product is that it smells beautiful, better than any other hair product i have ever smelt but that is no good if it isnt good to my hair. The first thing i disliked about this product was how long it took to rinse it out of my hair, it took ages of running clean water through my hair before it felt like all the product had been washed out. After using this my hair felt very dry, i ...  Read the complete review

A few of weeks ago I was cruising the aisles at Tesco looking for my usual shampoo, when I happened upon their latest BOGOF offer - two 250ml bottles of Clairol?s Herbal Essences 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner for £1.99. I had never tried Herbal Essences before, despite being very suggestible to anything that has natural sounding ingredients. Perhaps it was the stupid advert that turned me off. However, these particular bottles were calling me, claiming to be replenishing for dry/damaged hair. My hair and scalp are seriously dry. If you've ever been a bit run down, you will probably have noticed your hair suffers. Well, after a 10 year illness, you can imagine ...  Read the complete review

My husband, when he is not working overseas, occupies his time with HGV driving in this country. Although at the moment he is transporting double glazing units, during the last couple of years he has on occasion worked as an owner-driver for Safeway distributing frozen food, dry goods etc. from warehouses to supermarkets. When he is doing this type of work, he is frequently offered items either free of charge or at a greatly reduced price that have been damaged; very often it is just the outer casing that is broken. For instance, we have 56 tins of cat food in the garage although we don’t have a cat. My sister-in-law (she of “A tail of rescued ...  Read the complete review

Avid television viewers amongst you will recognise the title of this opinion as the strap line (or my suggested anglicised, yet still alliterative, variation on it!) from the painful, American, court-room based advert for this shampoo. A lawyer suddenly bursts into song and informs us that she has ?the urrrrrrrge to urrrrrrrrbal?, joined by a large group of men who seem to appear from nowhere. Well, whichever advertising executive thought that advert would transfer well across the Atlantic was somewhat misguided, because the only urge it seems to create in anyone in this country is an overwhelming one to throw a brick through the television screen. Okay, I know that ...  Read the complete review

250ml of magic are in each of these little bottles, just waiting to get to work to repair the damage and torture many of us put our hair through on a daily basis. Take my hair for instance: It's long (way past my shoulders) so as the older it gets, the dryer and more worse for wear it will be anyway. I bleach it blonde on a regular basis, and the ends seem to suffer even though I'm just doing the roots. On a twice-weekly basis the straightening irons are out sucking the life out of my poor strands, plus vigorous applications of many styling products and finishing cremes on a daily basis gradually add to the ruin of delicate, heat-damaged, ...  Read the complete review
