  Good

  by FaceCandy (26 reviews)

  The new Herbal Essences collection, Tousle Me Softly, was designed to work together to achieve a touchable tousled look from wet to set. The shampoo and conditioner provide a lightly conditioned base to set your style while the polymers hold hair in place. -Tousle Me Softly Shampoo and Conditioner ($2.99) - Cleans hair and... removes styling product without stripping essential oils and moisture. First of all, I have to say that I do really enjoy the smell of these products. It's a mix of wild violet and pomegranate. Yum. I usually use Head & Shoulders (yes, I'm admitting it) frankly because I'm afraid that if I stop the dandruff will come back. I took that risk, solely for the sake of beauty research. I am happy to say that both the Shampoo and Conditioner work, but my hair was slightly more frizzy than it usually is. face candy grade: b+ -Tousle Me Softly Hair Spray ($2.99) - A lightweight, non-sticky hairspray that doesn't leave hair crunchy. The main thing I like is that this spray doesn't smell gross and alcohol-y like most traditional hairsprays. Maybe you need to really spray it on and all over your head for the desired hold, but I couldn't really notice any hold whatsoever. face candy grade: c -Tousle Me Softly Finishing Cream ($5.49) - A hair cream with styling and conditioning polymers. Apply to wet hair for for softness or dry hair to reduce frizz and fly-aways. The texture is kind of like... cold pudding. So don't be fooled into thinking that it's a pomade that will really mold and shape your hair. I do find that if I use the shampoo and conditioner, this step is more necessary, mostly to reduce the frizz. I'd like it if it provided more hold. face candy grade: c -Tousle Me Softly Mousse ($2.99) - A very light-hold weightless mousse. I have a short, pixie cut so this mousse didn't do a whole lot to my hair. It may work for someone with longer hair, to create volume, but after I put it in, I couldn't even tell it was there. face candy grade: d -Tousle Me Softly Spray Gel ($2.99) - A medium hold spray gel. This was my favorite product of the collection. I spray this gel through damp hair then pull out sections to get a piece-y look on my bangs. I mix a little bit of the Finishing Cream with Jonathan's Dirt and then pull more sections out. Once it dries, it's shinier and still has a "wet" look to it. Provides medium hold. face candy grade: a These are the prices that came with the press release. Looking online, prices seem to be more around the $5 mark. August 21, 2009, 11:13 am

  Not So Great

  by iheartheels (26 reviews)

  This entire summer, I've been all about "letting my hair go free!" My tresses are, and have always been, inclined to be stick straight. But, over the last few years, since I've become more willing to experiment, I've found that my hair does have natural wave to it. Not the perfect waves of, say, Vanessa Hudgens, b...ut wavy enough to not wreak havoc on them every, single morning with a blowdryer. (It's just too darn hot down south to put myself through that every day!) I used to wonder how to achieve the perfect waves for my hair. And you know what I do? I wash it, condition it, blowdry my fringe bangs and then lightly around my face and the ends (I hate sitting around and I feel a drip, drip!). Then, for the rest of the day, I let it do its thing. And you know what? Just letting my hair do its thing works perfectly! Of course, it doesn't hurt to scrunch with your hands every now and then to perfect even more. With all this said, I thought I would try the new Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly line - that includes a great-smelling shampoo and conditioner (just $2.99 each) (plus other essentials like hairspray, mousse, spray gel and touch cream). The line claims to "tousle" your tresses freely if you just wash, condition, apply the mousse or gel, blowdry, flat iron (like you would use a curling iron) and gently brush out your new curls with your fingers. Last, blast with hairspray and use the cream. Whew! I don't know about you, but this is way too much of a routine for my hair just to look a la natural. And I wasn't even impressed with how it worked. I typically use a "regular" shampoo and sometimes even a mismatched conditioner, and my hair turns out just as tousled. Definitely an affordable price, but if they're wanting you to buy all six of the products at once, you might as well buy from your salon! Don't hate me, but give me my much simpler routine any day.

  Gets the ball rolling on your beach waves!

  (This is an except from my review of the entire "Tousle Me Softly" collection on my site) Okay, so maybe I’m not even in the ballpark of perfect like the model! But I did really like the products, it was pretty easy to achieve a more soft and tousled look so it’s an appropriate name for the collection. I us...ed the Tousle Me Softly shampoo & conditioner then towel dried my hair until it was closer to damp than wet. I applied the Tousle Me Softly mousse all over my hair and lightly combed through my hair with my fingers. I also sprayed a little bit of the collection’s spray gel onto my roots just for good measure! I twisted parts of my hair up (about 5 sections) and away from my face and clipped them into place, letting them down as I dried that section with high heat, keeping the shape of the twist intact as I was drying it. You can cup the twist in your hand and lightly unwind it as it gets drier, I find that helps define more of a wave pattern instead of a curl– it’s all about the waves! Once my hair was dry, I lightly broke apart some of the tighter twisted sections into place with my fingers, almost raking them through then sprayed a decent amount of the Tousle Me Softly hairspray, and wah-lah! I was happy with the result, beach waves for a girl with shorter hair! It looks totally gorge on you girls with longer hair, I’m totally envious by the way. June 22, 2009, 1:20 pm

  Of two minds about this shampoo

  by interzone (22 reviews)

  My hair does hold soft waves really well after I use this shampoo, but it gets oily-looking much sooner than if I use another product. It's OK to use on the weekends or if I know I'm just going to get my hair dirty the next day, but if I want more than one day out of a wash I skip this one. December 1, 2009, 12:34 pm

  I love this!

  by allibean (1 review)

  I love this set, the shampoo and the condtioner. I normally have very limp, oddly textured hair, kind of a flat, pathetic wavy. This stuff has made my hair piece-y and given it the body that no other shampoo could, not even body building shampoos. I used to flat iron my hair almost all the time because of the odd texture, b...ut now I just leave it natural, because this stuff makes it look awesome. And it smells great, but I've never gotten anything from Herbal Essences that I didn't like the smell of. However, I wash my hair every day (bad for your hair, I know), so I'm not certain of how it fends off grease. November 10, 2009, 6:34 am

  SO not for me

  by Zehabix (43 reviews)

  Top 500 Reviewer

  I was looking for something that would help with my sort-of-wavy-can-be-randomly-straight hair without a lot of effort. I thought this might help it decide to dry curly more regularly. Maybe that was stupid, because this didn't really help with it. I only used it about once and I felt like it was drying to my hair in compar...ison to their Featherweight line. I was not a huge fan of the smell at all. Plus, the packaging (as lame as it sounds) totally put a damper on my mood, I'm not a purple person. November 9, 2009, 6:06 pm

  Tousle me Greasy

  by krepage (23 reviews)

  Now, it could just be my hair type- because I am slightly oilier than most, but upon air drying my hair after using this shampoo and conditioner my hair was frizzy, and it looked as though I hadn't even showered! The hair around my roots was heavy and almost clumpy. NOT ATTRACTIVE. My husband likes the way this smells, so h...e has been using it. But even his hair looks lifeless. November 9, 2009, 3:18 pm
