Herbal Essences Naked Moisture review

In my Influenster VoxBox I received Herbal Essences Naked Moisture hair products. To be specific I received the shampoo, conditioner, and dry shampoo. This is my review. I was initially intrigued by this product because it’s sulfate, paraben, and dye free. I’m always looking for something that’s slightly better for my hair, skin, or nails.
I guess I’ll start with the packaging. It’s cute. I feel like it’s simple and (kind of) sleek. Basically it’s at the same caliber that other HE products are.
Upon first use, I really liked it. The only downside is that the shampoo didn’t foam the way I expect a good shampoo to. My hair felt pretty good after using the shampoo and conditioner and I couldn’t wait to use it again!
Second use: The shampoo still didn’t foam. Sigh. I hate that. It also made my hair feel really REALLY coarse. More so than usual. I felt like I had to use the entire bottle of conditioner (it was travel size, okay) to make it feel slightly better.
Here’s the thing though, it didn’t feel much better. My hair is damaged. I dye it and use hot tools on it constantly. That being said, I don’t use high end salon products. I prefer something I can grab from a drugstore. I use L’oreal shampoo and conditioner and usually a Dove dry shampoo.
Final thoughts: These products won’t get a third try from me. I’ll just chalk it up to the fact that maybe it’s not compatible with my hair type because I know a couple of people who LOVE this line.

Dry shampoo review: It smells great, although it’s a bit strong. It does its job, but it could just be the way that I apply it that makes it work so well. I prefer to spray down my hair with dry shampoo the night before (if I know I’m not washing my hair the next day) that way while I toss and turn at night the dry shampoo REALLY works into my hair. I would repurchase this product again but I really do love the Dove dry shampoo as well!

Until next time, make it rain.
