Clairol Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Shampoo

I have used professional shampoos for years but since I started washing my hair everyday, I thought I'd try some cheaper shampoos. I thought it would be fine considering I have a few on rotation at any given time. I bought this shampoo and conditioner and also the Dazzling shine set, since they were on offer and were so cheap in comparison to my professional products! So I thought I'd try them out...

Well, this one smells absolutely amazing of coconuts. However, after washing with this my hair was duller, had flyways and looked just overall worse and not very clean. I used it once, that was enough for me. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of this shampoo and the matching conditioner. The whole point of washing my hair daily is to always have clean, shiny hair. If I am going to get dull hair then why bother? I tried HE years ago and also couldn't use them then. However, I thought that nowadays they would be much better considering we have access to so much technology and ingredients. Well, they are still crap. At least for me my fine (in texture) but thick (in quantity) long hair, this didn't work at all. Two lipsticks because it smells so good and is so affordable and well, it washes the hair.

I bought this because I actually *wanted* a cheap shampoo that would strip my hair (for occasional use) and I liked the scent, and it was on clearance. Instead of squeaky-clean, I got greasy roots. I gave the second (free) bottle to my son, who had the same experience. So, yeah, no... not even for $2.

Well, another Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner miss for me. I have literally tried every version of these and I cannot use any of them. They all have the same basic ingredients, just different extracts and scents. They all do pretty good for the first use or two and then it's like a suffocating plastic envelopes the hair and it is dry and hard to get a brush through. And it dries out my hair really bad. I know shampoo and conditioner will build up over several uses, but this happens after just a couple. Same result with all of these. The Sleeker the Butter, Honey I'm Strong, Moroccan My Shine, all of them. But the worst is the Color Me Happy- can't take the rose scent! And the Hello Hydration is blue in color and maybe it is something about the blue dye/color, but it really burns my eyes. Smells like suntan lotion but it does nothing good for my hair, which is dry, curly, color treated and fine textured. The price is great, esp. with coupons, so if it works for you then you can get a great deal.

Decent shampoo. Lathers up and cleanses nicely, has a fresh scent to it that I really like. It's not the most moisturizing shampoo I've tried, but it's good for the price.

I wouldn't buy this again because it tends to strip my hair color a little bit. The difference is noticeable. For a drugstore moisturizing shampoo, I prefer Nexxus Therappe or Neutrogena Triple Moisture.

Probably more suited for those who don't color their hair.

This turned out to be too aggressive for my scalp.

Don't like this stuff at all. Makes my thin, fine hair look greasy and weighed down. I sometimes use it if I run out of my other conditioner (smooth collection, so much better!) and regret it each and every time. Don't know what I was thinking when I bought it, obviously I wasn't.

Makes my 4c hair, super dry, super flaky, itchy and tangled. I mean, I thought my hair was going to lock up. I now will be using this for shaving cream.

This shampoo does not hydrate my hair but it also doesn't make my hair look frizzy or considerably worse. It has a pleasant scent but I have to use enormous amounts of conditioner after I wash my hair with this because it make my hair all tangled which is a problem I've never had with my L'oreal shampoo. I would not recommend it for damaged hair but if you're looking for something that smells good, does the job of cleaning your hair, and is affordable, this is fine. It just doesn't hydrate hair as well as it claims to.

This stuff felt good going in (and it was crazy blue!) and washed out nicely but at the end of the day my hair just didn't look as good? I used my regular routine so nothing else was different besides this shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels nice but my flyaways seem to be much more pronounced :(

Just bought this the day before yesterday and used it yesterday. Ohmygod this product really does make your hair smooth from the first wash itself! I was using loreal before this but since this was on sale and a cousin told me about it, I picked this up. Generally i dont go out on the days i wash my hair cause it's all frizzy but this product along with the conditioner made my hair so super soft and shiny and the smell is just unbelievably good. Can't stop touching my hair! Definitely recommend it!
