I always have a bottle of this in my shower eventhough I don't have dandruff.
I use this approximately once a week as sort of a switch up from my daily shampoo. I find it cleans up any minor build up and maintains a healthy scalp. Sometimes when my scalp gets itchy I shampoo with H&S;and it clears it right up. I don't find it that drying but a bit more then my average shampoo, nothing a decent conditioner can't deal with though.
Some people don't like the smell, I think it smells fine...just a sort of fragranced clean smell. I guess though it's a distinct H&S;smell since no other shampoo I've used smells like that.
Overall I really like this shampoo, when I was on accutane and had a dry scalp they recommended selsun blue and nizoral, both of which worked too but they stained my tub and were more expensive.

I bought this thinking it would accentuate the natural wave in my hair.
If you read my other herbal essences reviews this is when I determined that the varieties are more or less the same. It worked just as well as the other varieties but didn't add extra wave or definition to my hair. They are still oth great shampoos and conditioners that maintain the condition of my hair without drying it out or making it limp or oily. The smell is nice as well, more floral if you aren't into fruity.
Overall great product when on sale, but like all the rest I think the main difference is the smell.

A very good clarifying shampoo.
This is a great shampoo to use occasionally to remove build up.
This was also a life saver for me when I tried coconut oil in my hair, people said it would just wash out.... I totally did not for me. I shampooed it a bunch of times with my normal shampoo and it as still limp and clumped together from the oil. I remember my mom saying she loved this shampoo when she wanted her hair to feel really clean so I gave it a try, and it worked! I think it negated the moisturizing aspects of the oil but... I didn't want greasy limp hair until the oil washed out.
Definitely do not use this every day, maybe once every week or month depending on how much product you use and how much build up you get. I tend to use it every month and whenever I do an updo with lots of hairspray and mousse and stuff.

A very fruity smell like most garnier products!
I didn't find my hair that much shinier or sleeker but the shampoo did clean very good. The conditioner was decent, I prefer the Herbal Essences one a bit more but this one was still very good at conditioning my hair. I haven't tried any other Fructis shampoos or conditioners but this one was pretty decent.
I remember i bought a few bottles because it was a good price so this is a good low budget product. It didn't dry out my hair or make it limp and oily just kept it clean and conditioned.

I had a little sample of this.
I usually keep head and shoulders around and use it when I feel I need too. I don't have dandruff but sometimes I get a little itchy and one shampoo with H&S;usually clears it up right away.
I didn't find that it was that different from the original, I find H&S;to good and removing build up so it an be a tad drying. I felt that my hair was not any smoother or silkier then normal. On the plus side it worked just the same as the regular H&S;in stopping early signs of itchiness and dandruff problems.

I like the Pantene smooth and silky I think. I tried this out because it was on sale and figured it might be similar.
I didn't like this combination however. It made my hair feel very coarse and not soft. Also it didn't add any shine to my hair at all, actually not only did it feel coarse it looked coarse and dull.
My hair is usually not picky at all, I shampoo and condition daily, and buy whatever is on sale. So I was pretty surprised this didn't work for me. The conditioner was thick and creamy but I guess was moisturizing enough.
Perhaps this formula didn't mesh well with my hair type, I have thick hair both in terms of amount and the diameter or the individual strand. When it's not properly conditioned it can look dull, so this might've been the case.

Tried the shampoo and conditioner, I didn't really notice any extra volume.
The smell was alright, very fruity. I didn't notice much difference then their other varieties besides the smell. Cleans decently and the conditioner is creamy and moisturizing.
Eventhough I do find them all the same I will note that I didn't find this combo weighed down my hair, I do shampoo and condition daily though.
Overall all these herbal essences are quite good when on sale.

I found the conditioner slightly thicker then the regular line, but maybe it's because this one is "hydralicious". I found it performed the same as the regular line, the shampoo cleans decently and the conditioner was creamy and thick. I was kindof drawn into the swirly bottle.
Overall a decent combo when on sale.

Like all Herbal Essences products it has a stronger scent.
I have very long hair (to the narrow of my waist), but I don't find these varieties all that different (except for dandruff formulas or clarifying formulas). I didn't find the shampoo or conditioner anymore moisturizing or strengthing then the Hydrating version or the Volumizing version.
Therefore my review is similar to my Hydration review, the shampoo cleans decently and the conditioner is nice and creamy, Overall a decent combination when on sale.
If you like the smell then get it even if you don't have terribly long hair!

A very affordable shampoo and conditioner, I've tried a few of the varieties of them but generally get the blue one (I think, the moisturizing one). The shampoo is a little drying but I do wash my hair everyday and I find the conditioner moisturizes my hair.
I do find the conditioner a little thin, I like thick creamy conditioners because I find it easier to coat my hair with less product. This product has a thinner consistency so I find I use a lot more to properly coat my hair. Also I find it less conditioning them creamier conditioners.
Overall a great affordable brand, I repurchase these quite often aswell.
