Herbal Essences Hydralicous self targeting shampoo

Hallelujah! I think I may have found my new favorite shampoo!

Herbal Essence Hydralicious shampoo "self targeting"

After my last shampoo I was on the hunt for something that wouldn't dry out my hair or make my roots feel greasy on the second day. This is it! I've tried lots of brands, high end and drugstore, This stuff is amazing! I haven't used herbal essence since I was maybe 11 or 12, back when they had their old packaging. (which I loved btw. Much more mature looking)

It's a 300ml bottle. Not even $3 CDN!! so inexpensive!!!!

My hair is so soft after using this shampoo. I don't get that yucky straw feeling anymore. Yay!
And my second day hair? it's soft and manageable.

BUT THE BEST PART? yes it gets better..
THE SMELL. Holy Crap! The bottle says red vanilla and whipped aloe.
 I couldn't put my finger on what the scent actually reminded me of until I came to work with my hair a bit damp and people were asking who smelt of red licorice. Yup that's me.

It smells like red licorice and a hint of vanilla. Amazing.

It's been about 2 weeks since I first tried it, but I don't think I'm going to be trying anything new for a bit. This is heavenly.

A quick review- Live clean shampoo & conditioner

Top - Live clean apple cider clarifying shampoo
Bottom - live clean exotic nectar argon oil conditioner
Middle - The shortbread cookies I made :)

Let me start off by saying that in general I am sufficiently disappointed...even in the cookies.

Lets begin with good..

All Live Clean products are 98% plant derived - Pure vegan - SLS/ Sulfate free - Paraben free-Certified organic botanicals - Petroleum free - DEA free - Phthalate free - Biodegradable ingredients - Recyclable packaging- And most importantly..Never tested on animals.


Live Clean exotic nectar argon oil conditioner

This was a very small bottle, considering what I have been used to. The bottle only ended up lasting just less than a month. I hate having to go repurchase shampoo&conditioner all the time so I usually end up buying the larger bottles (  IF I like product of course) But they only come in the one size (350ml/ 12 U.S Fl. oz)

The conditioner has the most lovely nutty scent! And lingers lightly on the hair after drying. This is a big bonus for those who like nutty scents like moi.

I apply my conditioner to whatever hair would fall from a ponytail to keep my roots from getting overly moisturized and greasy. This conditions fairly well. It's definitely not a disappointment, but on the other hand it wasn't exceptional. I've had other conditioners do a better job.

All in all while my hair had a heavenly scent to it, it was left just feeling blah-
I wouldn't repurchase this myself again but if it was given to me I wouldn't hesitate to use it again as a substitute.

Live Clean apple cider clarifying shampoo

Again, small bottle. For shampoo this isn't an issue for me because I don't go through shampoo quite as fast as conditioner. And again one size (350ml/ 12 U.S Fl. oz).

The scent again is incredible! Smells like a very potent batch of apple cider. So yummy! This was the only fun part of the shampoo though.

I apply my shampoo to the roots of my hair and massage into my scalp. I leave out the ends because I don't want to strip my locks of moisture, and when I rinse the shampoo will gently cleanse them as much as needed.

At first this seems like a very nice shampoo. My hair felt cleansed. The scent was great. It wasn't until I had used it a few times that I really got to see what was in store for me.

I like to wash my hair every other day to keep it healthy and strong. And I have never ever had a problem with 2nd day hair before, till this shampoo.  The day after my roots were so greasy and flat that I HAD to wash my hair again. I wasn't sure if this was the shampoo or not so I continued to use it. I have been using this product for almost 2 months and this has happened each time.

So while the first day is nice and pleasant. The 2nd day is a greasy mess that I hope to never endure again.  I have about 4-6 washes left in the bottle. And I will use it up, I hate to waste. But when the bottle is finished  I will recycle it away and never look back again....
