    Warning! I chopped all my hair off

    I had waist-length brown hair that was bleached ashy-blonde balayage on the ends. (This was done professionally and my hair has been lightened for years) I picked this up at the drugstore after my salon-brand shampoo and conditioner ran out because I saw that it had good reviews here. Probably one of the biggest hair mistakes of my life! After using this consistently (along with conditioner) for 2...read more weeks, my midshaft and ends were so dry that I could no amount of "It's A 10" could get a comb through them post-shower. Before this, my hair was combination, but definitely manageable. After this, it was a dried out dreadlock clump. I went back to my hairdresser and CUT OVER A FOOT OFF. He explained Herbal Essence dries hair from the inside out. And that sulfates contribute to color loss. So basically this is garbage that ruined my hair. Don't be cheap like me and buy the good stuff unless you are willing to risk your hair's health.

    Didn't Work For Me...

    Herbal Essences products tend to leave my hair feeling gunky after a couple of uses. They usually smell incredible, but almost none of the formulas actually do as they promise, and this is no exception. I don't notice my color lasting longer while using this product. Overall, they're better for sniffing than they are for using, in my opinion.

    NOT FOR ME

    Leaves hair soft and shiny but takes the color right out.

    Disappointed

    I just went to a medium brown colour with gold ones after being bleach blonde for pretty much ever. I got this because it was cheap. I love the smell and it does leave my hair really soft, but it stripped the colour right out. In a week the colour has severely faded and I am so unimpressed. Definitely trying something sulfate-free next time and skipping the cheap stuff. seriously, don't waste your money with this crap.

    Works great!

    I have a semi permanent hair color and with any other shampoo, I would have to dye it as soon as two weeks but with the use of this shampoo/conditioner I could go as far as two months without needing to touch it up. Love it.

    Stay away from this shampoo, especially if you are blonde

    After reading the reviews praising Herbal Essence Color Me Happy shampoo I bought this inexpensive product. On my next visit to my hair stylist the first thing out of her mouth was "what kind of shampoo are you using, because it has stripped your color!" YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

    Gorgeous scent and clean feel

    After trying ever popular commercial brand of hair shampoo and conditioner, I'd have to list this as my favorite. Not only does it satisfy my superficial needs by being an adorable pink and residing in a cute container, it's the best smelling shampoo I've tried. And I must say, I've tried a lot. My hair is a very fragile blonde color and this shampoo helps preserve the color while keeping my hair healthy and moisturized. Two thumbs up.

    No bueno. :(

    This shampoo dried out my hair and now I'm left with a big frizzy mess. Returning asap.

    Not What I Expected

    Several years ago Herbal Essences was my go to hair brand. All of their products have a lovely scent. I remembered really liking what some of their other shampoos and conditioners did for my hair. I ended up switching my shampoo and conditioner just to try something new and didn't return to this brand. When I coloured my hair I had to look for a new shampoo and conditioner b/c the brand I had ...read morebeen using, Aussie, did not have hair products for coloured hair. I decided to go back to this brand b/c I had liked it before and the products are very affordable. As I mentioned earlier they have a lovely scent to them. This product has helped extend the semi-permanent dye in my hair. I've had my hair dyed for about 4 weeks and I have seen very minimal fading. However, I am extremely disappointed in every other area. Before I only had to wash my hair every two or three days. This shampoo has made my extremely oily and caused a lot of build up. I have to wash my hair everyday with this shampoo. This is only going to make my dye fade faster, which is part of the reason I am impressed with how this product has prevented fading. In my opinion, the oil and build up outweighs the lack of fading
