Herbal Essences

I love salon products as much as the next girl (hello, Biolage!) but sometimes the budget just doesn’t cooperate. Or more like, I just get this crazy feeling of guilt spending 4 times as much on a shampoo as necessary. I could totally use that extra money for cute kids’ clothes…or a Nacho Bell Grande!

So with all the two zillion or so products out there, which one gets my vote?

Herbal Essences. To be specific, the Long-Term Relationship formula, made especially for longer hair.

What’s to love about this stuff? First of all, it’s purdy. Yep, its fabby red bottle adds a killer boost of color to my neutral-colored bathroom. It’s like art, that darn bottle.

Oh, and um, the product itself is great, too. Since I have to color a lot (why is it that after you have kids your hair is just never the same?!?), I need something that is gentle, yet efficient. This stuff does the trick. It’s got a touch of red raspberry for an amazing smell (yum!) and boasts satin to help our strands grow longer and healthier. It helps protect against damage too, which is a total bonus for those of us who stretch our six-week trims out to about 10 or 12 weeks (who, me?).

This stuff is fab y’all, and at only $3.99 (I like to wait for sales AND use a coupon, too!) it is so worth its weight in haircare gold.

Have you tried this? Do you love it? What other drugstore shampoo brands rock you world? Let me know in the comments section. Thanks!
