Herbal Essence from Clairol are probably better known for their frankly annoying adverts where users of their shampoo are so excited they feel the need to shout out "yes yes yes", in a mock orgasmic shower scene. They have recently launched a new range called "Fruit Fusions", which is a range of 8 shampoos and conditioners which are claimed to be "bursting" with exotic fruit extracts. In the makers own words, the fragrance from each bottle is "exhilarating" and captures the essence of a tropical paradise. I have to say I prefer the tagline of this advertising campaign..."just add H2O, oh, oh". Pretty bold claims for this .  Read the complete review

I've been using fruit fusions for nearly two years now and I have been very impressed the whole time. The bottles are easy to use and because they are plastic they don't break easily which is great as I have a tendency to be quite clumsy. The shampoo and conditioner are easy to tell apart which is good as thats been an issue I've had with some other brands, no one wants to have to read bottle labels when they've just woken up! First thing that's noticeable is how wonderful it smells. Ive tried most of the shampoos and conditioners in the fruit frusions range for normal hair and they all smell amazing but the brilliant shine one is definitely my favourite, and ...  Read the complete review

I did not get on at all with the original Herbal Essences range, as invariably no matter which product I tried my hair was left straw-like smelling far too, well, herbal. Like a herbal medicine shop - not an alluring scent that's for sure. With this in mind, I resolved never again to buy anything from the range. However I saw the new Fruit Fusions range advertised and I have to admit the funky coloured bottles did appeal to me. But I vowed to be strong...In the shampoo aisle I would not even give them a second look, lest I be taken in again and end up with another bottle of awful, unusable concoction sitting in my bathroom cabinet. But one day in ...  Read the complete review

Herbal essence by Clairol is a shampoo and seperate conditioner which is essentially made from fruit estracts. The advert goes that it is so good the women in the shower is having an orgasmic experience. Lucky her. I felt the shampoo was very nice it smelt fruity and clean and quite refreshing. It lathered up well and I only needed to use a small amount to get a full head of lather. So I thought this was brilliant. The conditioner left your hair feeling silky smooth and very soft. It shone in the sunlight. The shampoo itself comes in a clear plastic bottle with a green lid which has a flip top so you can squirt the required amount without ...  Read the complete review

I'll start by saying I hate the ad for these shampoos, the one where she's saying 'yes, yes, yes' I don't like it because my daughter always says 'what's she saying that for Mum'! Anyway back to the brand. I bought this as a BOGOF in Tesco so I thought it good value. I haven't tried these before so I thought I'd give it a go. The shampoo is citrus and I like anything citrussy so I chose this particular shampoo along with the conditioner to match. The main fragrange that came through was the grapefruit and I couldn't smell anything of bergamot or verbena. The shampoo lathered up really easily and I only needed to shampoo the once to get a ...  Read the complete review
