Advantages: Smells great, reasonably priced

Disadvantages: Didn't leave my hair as soft as I would have liked

Now after those adverts how could I not try the new herbal essences shampoo? The price is pretty good and you can nearly always find these in a deal in some store or another!

The bottle looks really good in the bathroom, and I love the rich red colour of the shampoo itself. The smell is simply divine, and does just make you go "ooh yummy!" out loud (or is that just me?!). It apparently contains chinese cinnamon and ginger oil, but I couldn't smell those, but it does smell good!

It foams up really well and you don't need an awful lot, which is great as it tends to last a while before you have to replace it. It is marketed as a shampoo specifically for dry/damaged hair, but I have to say that it didn't leave my hair as soft as I would have liked, particularly as it is supposed to leave your hair "sensuously smooth". In the absence of conditioner, this shampoo left my hair feeling a bit "straw-like". It does leave your hair smelling really good though, and if used with the conditioner, leaves your hair feeling clean and quite soft.

Summary: Great shampoo for the price - but use with conditioner
