No Bullshit Beauty Review: Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Hair care

Ok, so I thought I would try something new with this blog: No Bullshit Beauty.

I'm scientifically minded. I'm the sort of person who calls out bullshit in TV adverts. "18/25 women agreeing isn't statistically significant!!!" I hate bad stats, I don't like it when brands throw around big words to confuse the layman. Just because someone is wearing a lab coat in the advert, doesn't mean that the  XYZ of chemicals actually do anything, right?

So what if I just used stuff and told people WHAT it actually did, regardless of what the advert says it does?

So here I go, with Herbal Essences and their Honey I'm Strong range.

Worth debunking right away, is that these products do not give orgasms in showers. Nor could you achieve hair like Nicole Sherzinger in an air plane toilet, a camper van or similiar. Water pressure? Electricity? Salon proffesional etc etc?

Back to the product itself.

Smell: Amazing. Subtle, and not overpowering.
Feel: Gooey. It's shampoo...
Taste: What, are you nuts?

Results
I have lots of fine long brunette hair, with a tendency to go greasy at the roots and very dry and brittle at the tips.I don't have the budget to get my hair cut every 6 weeks - I'm lucky if it's every six months (between trips to the salon I get my Mum to trim the ends off!)

Normally I have to wash and condition my hair everyday because I exercise a lot and need to shower often (yuck). I was surprised that with this, I don't even NEED to condition! I only need to do it every other time, just to keep it manageable, but the fact that I can skip conditioning means my hair stays more manageable for longer, and plus it saves £££ in the long run because I always run out of conditioner faster than shampoo!

I couldn't finish this post without a picture of the little guys that help to make the key ingredient of these products. Herbal Essenses website states "did you know honey is nature’s golden elixir? once a luxury reserved for kings and queens, honey has been revered for centuries as a natural healing remedy and beauty secret for the hair." I've heard of the healing benefits of Manuka, though I'm unsure of the science behind why/how this works... All I can say it, it DOES WORK.
