has anyone tried the Herbal Essence cleansing conditioner?

First a small rant - so many people say bad things about WEN, but now it seems like every major brand has jumped on the CC band wagon. Intesting...

I have tried two of the imitators, the L'oreal one (can not stand the over powering fragrance, IMHO it's sickly sweet) and the Sally Bee one (which did not work well for me).

Has anyone tried the Herbal Essence one?

Re: has anyone tried the Herbal Essence cleansing conditioner?

I haven't and won't because they test on animals BUT if they didn't, I would certainly try it. Alot of people are liking it, although they still contain menthol and peppermint oils which I don't really care for. It seems like those ones don't have alot of the nice, nourishing ingredients WEN has though.

I've tried that RENpure and one other one, can't remember the name, and they were absolutely NOTHING like WEN. I haven't tried the others like L'oreal because of animal testing but I haven't head good things about those anyway.

Nope, like HD stated, they are not cruelty free. I tried a few others, hair one and renpure and ick, no thank you. Just a mess.

I have not tried it, but there is a thread about it on I believe page 1 or 2 in beauty banter. The consensus appears to be that most people do like at least the initial results (because it is so new) of Herbal Essence Naked CC but don't care for the scent. I will be interested in the reviews after long term use.

I tried it and like it. I didn't think about the cruelty free part, so that is something to think about. It is similar to wen, (which i love), but does lather a bit. It says low lather on it, whereas wen froths with water but doesn't really lather. I get a very good result from it and the big advantage is it is much easier to rinse out than wen because you use so much less. I used it this past tuesday becaue i had to take one of my kitties to the cardiologist for a pretty early appointment and just didnt have the energy to spend the time it takes me to wen and i think the results were good. Now today i had plenty of time so i used wen and the results are perfect. So for me it is sort of a good alternate for busy days that gives a pretty nice result but i won't stop using wen.

It took six years ,for WEN to be on QVC before anyone made any hair loss claims.

This was my first cheat in 3 plus years because I always used Herbal Essence in my teens. The scent is still wonderful but it was an epic fail for my curls. Gave it to DD to try.

There are a LOT of Cleansing Conditioners and Cowashes on the market now. I thought it was due to the Curly Girl Method.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I haven't tried that, but love the results I get with Eden Bodyworks Coconut Shea All Natural Cleansing Cowash.

Does it still have that amazing scent? Gosh I used to love that. Hmmmm. Might have to pick up a bottle of this as a first cleanse? What did it do/not do for your curls?
