I have been using this shampoo for a few weeks now and really rate it. I used to use Herbal Essence range a while ago but hadn't used it for a while. I must admit the reason why I chose this particular shampoo was because I liked the shape of the bottle! I am very glad I did buy it as I really like it and think it has a lovely effect on my hair.

This shampoo helps to hydrate your hair. I find that in the winter my hair is dry from all the central heating we have on and it loses it's shine and looks really quite poor. I have tried some repair and protect shampoos to try to help my hair in the winter but none of them really impressed. The hydrating effects of this though seems to do the trick.

This shampoo comes in a really bright blue bottle which is long and tall but slightly wider at the bottom which gives it an interesting shape. The brightness of the bottle is what attracted me to it in the first place in the supermarket and then I smelt it and thought I would buy it. The smell is quite tropical, it is a bit floral but a hint of coconut too which is lovely, it makes a change from the usual soapy smell of the shampoo I had been using.

The shampoo itself is quite thick and that is what I like, it feels more luxurious than when it's really watery and just seems to run down your fingers so quickly you haven't got time to rub it in your hair. I have very thick hair and tend to use a blob about the size of a 50p and find that this is sufficient enough for my hair. The colour of the shampoo may put you off as it's blue! Not as bright as the bottle but definitely blue. I quite like this, it makes it a bit different.

It washes out really nicely and I used some conditioner afterwards too, I find if I don't use conditioner my hair is a nightmare and gets really knotty. The smell of the shampoo did stay on my hair afterwards and my husband commented on how nice it smelt which is nice! After drying my hair with a hairdryer I find that when using this shampoo my hair is really nice. It doesn't feel as dry as normal and it also is easier to brush too as though the hydrating qualities have helped to stop it being so easily knotted.

I think it adds some volume to my hair too and I really like the finished result. It feels very clean and soft and in good health. I definitely recommend using this especially in the winter months when your hair is in need of being hydrated but then saying that in the summer it probably needs it too as it will be warmer outside so in fact I recommend this for all year round! Lovely!
