What do you think about Herbalessences shampoo's and conditioner's?

Question

Here's why i need to know i've got 5 questions to ask.
1. Does it work for (African American) hair?
2. If it does work for (african American) hair does it work?
3. Do all the shampoo and conditioner's smell good?
4. Do you use It?
and last of all
5. What does coarse mean.

Answer 1

1. yes fuh sho. A-A hair is just like anyother hair just needs more moisture!
2. uhh yeahh for sho! it makes my hair so soft and detangled!
3. I hate the shampoos love the conditioners. Especially Hello Hydration, Break's Over, and Color Me Happy. I use the shampoos as body was.
4. see above lol
5. coarse means hard. You can tell if ur hair is coarse if u can touch it and it makes a krinkly sound lol a lot of AA ppl have coarse hair. I personally have mediumly coarse hair VERY tightly curled.

Answer 2

no i dont like it it over drys my hair.. They all smell good because all of the their lines contain fragrances.. the reason why they have the fragrance is to attract the attention of the consumer.. not really because the product is good... Coarse means for hair that is rough and thick... I suggest you use a different shampoo and conditioner.. I have coarse and frizzy and curly curly curly curly hair... maybe you should try out Redken's all soft shampoo and conditioner or biolage (by matrix) shampoo and conditioner.. or something that is moisturizing and smoothing.. even if you dont want to spend that kind of money... you can use pantene pro-v or l'oreal vive pro; look for the shampoos that are smoothing and the conditioners that are moisturizing (yes you can mix different ones) they will work well in your hair also.. Good luck

Answer 3

1. Doesn't work on my (mixed) hair type
2. It dries out hair, leaves it frizzier
3. Smell excellent - but that's not a reason to dry out your hair, is it? I think they've got a line of bodywashes, I'd suggest that instead.
4. I tried using it, it made my hair frizzy, I got ridiculously terrible split ends, running fingers through my hair meant breakage and felt like a wirebrush (only a slight exaggeration), I couldn't manage.
5. Coarse... is what your hair will be, using herbal essence! (haha) - No, seriously. Coarse means rough hair, that doesn't take well to treatments, needs extra time, to get the same effects... I call mine "stubborn". :)

Answer 4

I'm white but I presume it's pretty much the same... i have straight hair, my friend has curly hair and it works on both.
I love it, it makes my hair smell delicious, a couple of the lavender and chamomile ones smell a bit weird but most of them smell delicious.
I use it everyday, both the shampoo and conditioner and have used all different smells to the same effect
Coarse means rough to the touch.
Hope this helps!

Answer 5

I just have to say this from a white girls hair point, smells great, yes have used it but does not work on my hair, gets very tuggy. Even my five year can't use it, but the smell is addictive and even tho, I know it doesn't work, I will still buy it once in a while. Course means thin hair.

Answer 6

1. No, it makes your hair dry. Smells nice, but its dry
2. See the previous answer
3. They do, but again, not right for African American hair
4. No, I use Pantene for women of color-relaxed or natural
5. Coarse means that when you do get a relaxer, a regular strength one won't "take" as well as super.

Answer 7

I think they are great. I use them all the time because they smell soooooo nice. I am not sure whether it will work for your hair because i dont have african american hair. You can buy it for dry hair or for all hair types so it will be fine.

Answer 8

I use it and it works on African American hair I believe

Answer 9

Well, i can't answer the first couple, although i know that a few of my friends use it and they have african american hair..and their hair looks gorgeous if i do say so myself =).

I personally don't use it, but that's only because my hair and scalp are really sensitive and i find it irritates it. (but that's just me and my hair issues :D).

But yes, i have used them before in the past and they do all smell oh so nice (although obviously it's down to your opinion.)

And coarse in reference to hair would mean like rough/ heavy hair, e.g frizzy, split ends etc.

Regualr terms, it just means rough =)
