They say:
With a Fusion of Mandarin Balm & Pearls
Keep your head from feeling fuzzy
Don't look so shocked. I'm here to smooth it over.
Frizz, fuzz and flyaways are finished. I'll fight for your right to smooth hair with my nourishing formula with anti-frizz potion fused with mandarin balm & pearls. I'll keep your hair smooth and shiny from root to tip and help resist humidity so it doesn't try to make a break for it.




I say:
I was tempted to try the matching set from Herbal Essence out of sheer curiosity. On Drugstore.com, I ran into a list by Herbal Essence listing their products in the order of conditioning level. This line was the highest level of conditioning. Kroger had a sale for $2.50/ea so I snagged them.


I was pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of this combo. The shampoo lathered a creamy lather on the first go round. I didn't have to lather twice. I cleaned my hair thoroughly without stripping it. My hair had a lot of slip as well.


The conditioner gave a good slip as well. I let it sit while I showered and rinsed thoroughly. I could tell the difference as I was rinsing that my hair was getting the affects of the products. My texlaxed hair was heavy and way less textured than it normally is after a wash. It was very clean, yet moisturized.


I've used these products about 5 times now and I'm presently surprised at their effectiveness. I'd practically vowed to only use salon quality products because I just didn't see drug store brands being effective enough for heat styling. I'm glad I was wrong! I'd definitely recommend this set for beauties on a budget.

i haven't tried "none of your frizziness", but totally love "long term relationship". i gave up my garnier length and strength for that one! i think herbal essences is on to something good!

Herbal additives in various products can really provide positive effects to people who are using it.

I love the leave in for moisturizing my hair!
