Hi there! Today’s post is about this Herbal Essences Petal Soft Rose Scent Shampoo & Conditioner hair care combo. When I saw these at Poundland, I thought, OMG, are the originals back? Then I took a sniff from the bottle, only to be majorly disappointed. However, this combo had the look of the original line, and I thought maybe these products are similar in quality, so I bought them.
Fast forward 3 weeks… Herbal Essences Petal Soft Rose Scent Shampoo is great. I wash my hair every morning, and I am happy to report that the shampoo feels cleansing, yet not stripping. It has a beautiful gel formula, and this is simply a great quality shampoo. The rose scent is… probably quite nice if you love rose scents. I am not in love with it. However, despite the rose scent, the shampoo is actually amazing, very similar to the original Herbal Essences, and I will buy it again. PS: My husband agrees that the shampoo is very cleansing, and he loves using it after a sweaty workout. Amazing stuff!
Herbal Essences Petal Soft Rose Scent Conditioner is fantastic too. Again, I have to deduct imaginary points for the rose scent which I am not a fan of. However, I guess lots of people will like it. The conditioner itself has a lovely formula. Also quite similar to the original Herbal Essences conditioner, although it feels a bit less thick. Anyhoo, this conditioner does have the same out-of-this-world detangling powers as the original Herbal Essences conditioner, and I know I will buy it again.
Despite the rose scent, this is my favourite new hair care combo in years. I think the last time I was so excited about a shampoo and conditioner was when I tried Aussie Mega for the first time about 5 or so years ago. Before that, it was the reintroduction of the original Herbal Essences about 10 or so years ago. 😀
If you are interested, Herbal Essences Petal Soft Rose Scent Shampoo & Conditioner are available as 250ml and 200ml, respectively. I paid £2.50 each (Poundland). There are also bigger sizes available at the drugstores and supermarkets now (350ml for the shampoo and 250ml for the conditioner). These bigger bottles are £6 each, but I’ve also seen them at Superdrug, Sainsbury’s and Tesco for £2.99 / £3. Also, these products are certified vegan and cruelty-free (by PETA). ♥
I bought a few more colours/scents from this new collection already, Lavender from Superdrug (£2.99 each for the bigger sizes) and Orange and Aloe from Sainsbury’s (£3 each for the bigger sizes), and I picked up the smaller bottles for the Argan Oil products from Poundland as well. I also got my hands on the hair mask… the next few months will be very interesting hair-care wise! 😀
