Head and Shoulders Clean & Balanced Regime Reviews

This one was a bit of a tight review and I normally wouldn't wash my hair twice in 4 days unless I had a special night out and a lot of product buildup. That being said, with the second shampoo and conditioner application tonight my hair is only maybe fractionally drier than usual on the ends and my scalp feels great. These products work really well together, the only downside for me is the scent. For some reason my nose really doesn't like it and I can't stop smelling it!! The shampoo is a surprising thickness and you'll definitely need less than you think to get a nice rich lather that penetrates to the scalp easily. I did experience a few tangles after rinsing out the shampoo but the conditioner soon sorted those out. The conditioner was easy to work through from roots to tips and once rinsed out properly left my hair feeling great. I did need to add a little serum to the dry ends of my hair when blow-drying straight away but when I let my hair dry naturally I had a surprisingly frizz free version of my natural waves.

All in all the system does it's job, no nasty white flakes to be seen on my black uniform but for me it's likely to be a once a fortnight use to reduce buildup and cleanse my scalp rather than a product I'd use every time I wash my hair.

Thick product which is so rich in smell. Smell is to die for. And product is so nice to massage through hair. I’m in love with this stuff!!!!! However, I’m unsure how good it actually is for your hair. It’s full of such unnatural and random ingredients

Shampoo: I found that the shampoo lathered really well and that a little went a long way. When washing it out though, my hair felt a little sticky, although this was soon remedied after using the conditioner. Conditioner: The conditioner is a lovely thick formula and easily went through my thick hair. It immediately left my hair feeling really soft after washing it out. As a pair: I enjoyed using these products in the shower with wet hair, however, I found that when my hair dried, it was quite fluffy. I have quite thick, curly hair anyway, but noticed that it was quite a bit fluffier than other brands of shampoo and conditioner I have used. In regards to its anti-dandruff qualities, I did notice that my hair looked very clean and didn't notice any flaking in my scalp, like I sometimes can. In that way, I liked it! Overall, it's a pretty simple shampoo and conditioner, with no extra frills, but should be considered if dandruff is your main concern.

First impressions about the shampoo and conditioner was the delicious smell! They smell divine, and on squeezing them out of the bottle they are really thick and creamy.

Given the length of my hair I go through a lot of shampoo and conditioner, so how thick the shampoo and conditioner were hopefully meant I didn't have to use as much as I normally would.

The shampoo lathers really well, and my hair did actually feel cleaner than it does with my normal shampoo.

This is sadly where the praise ends though. When I washed the shampoo out, my hair felt like a tangled, clumped together, straw-like mess. I couldn't get my fingers through it to was the shampoo out properly, so had to rely on just rinsing. Thank goodness for conditioner!

I spent a good amount of time massaging the conditioner through my hair to try to untangle it, I left it in for a few minutes then rinsed it out. My hair felt clean, and I hoped the conditioner had helped with the tangles.

Unfortunately I was wrong, and had to spend a good amount of time wrestling the tangles out.

After using it twice I also noticed my hair was itching than before trialing the product. After four days I also noticed my hair was harder to brush and wasn't as smooth and soft as normal. Although my hair FELT cleaner, the tangles and texture of it have put me off continuing to use these products.

Although I'm sure this would be a fantastic product for hair that's not like mine, I'd not purchase it myself.
