Product Review - Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Leave In (NEW Formula)

So I decided to take a chance and try out the new formula of Long Term Relationship leave in conditioner. Boy am I glad I did! I can't believe I'm saying this but I honestly think I like this better than the old formula which I didn't even know was possible! Granted I stocked up on the old formula, I'm not as scared for when I finish my last bottle of the old formula. This new one has a bit more protein, the product is now white, has a different scent, and the consistency is less sticky and a bit lighter. Personally I LOVE the new scent! It's hard to explain but it also sticks around longer than the old formula. I also love the consistency, it can still make your hair feel a little coated if you use too much but that's expected. The "extra protein" hasn't caused any adverse effects in my hair, in fact since I've been using it, my hair has experienced less shedding! I love the old formula but I'm glad to welcome in the new!

Pros: scent, price, available at Walmart now, works!, better than old formula, consistency
Cons: protein sensitive ladies beware probably, new formula may not agree with everyone
Repurchase?: YES!!

Product Review - Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Shampoo

So I've had this shampoo since September and am now ready to do a review! Overall it does its job of getting my hair clean. It does have sulfates and when I used it consistently for a few weeks my scalp was whiter and itchier than normal. So I diluted it with some water and oils and I really think that helped! I only use it about 1x a month or so and I think it takes away the little buildup that my Hair One misses or possibly causes. The smell is pretty good but doesn't stay once I put the conditioner in. Does it leave my hair all beautiful and tousled? Nope, my hair looks the same lol. I will say it does make my hair feel clean and fresh!
Pros: Smell, price, availability, works
Cons: sulfates, irritates scalp if used consistently, doesn't tousle
Repurchase?: Probably not
