Dangerously Effective: Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight Shampoo and Conditioner

Read, Rinse, Repeat

Pam Gaulin
Any product that shaves time from my morning routine receives kudos. When that same product is so effective that it enables me to use fewer products for the same results, my pocketbook is happy. The reformulated Pin Straight Shampoo and Conditioner from Herbal Essences made my hair routine faster and easier, and I did not have to add any leave-in products to help untangle my hair.

Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight Shampoo

I have used a number of different Herbal Essences shampoos and conditioners, but not always together. The Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight Shampoo was creamier than the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Shampoo I have been using recently. The Herbal Essences shampoo makes a rich and fragrant lather, and I have to remember to use a little less next time. A little of this shampoo goes a long way.

Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight Conditioner

The first thing I noticed when I put the Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight Conditioner in my hair is that my hair became instantly silky and smooth. My long hair is not pin-straight naturally, it's what I like to call "puffy" when left to its own devices. My favorite hairdresser referred to my hair as coarse (vs. fine). I usually have to buy more expensive conditioners, like Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Treatment to make my hair more manageable and less bulky.

My favorite thing about the Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight conditioner is that I did not have to add anything else to my hair before brushing it to get rid of the tangles. Because my hair is long and thick it tangles easily, especially underneath and the back. I usually put some leave-in hair smoother, either Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness Smoothing Leave-in Conditioner or Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum to smooth my hair and make the tangles easier to manage.

I wanted to see how my hair reacted without adding anything else. When I only used the Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight Shampoo and Conditioner, my hair was easy to brush and had only one or two small snarls, not the tangled mess I usually have after putting my hair up in a towel to dry.

The reformulated Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight conditioner is more effective on my hair type than the original formula was.

What I Will Be Using

I may have found a replacement for my Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness conditioner, because the Dangerously Straight seems to get rid of frizziness and make my hair soft while untangling it. Although I still love the Paul Mitchell products, the Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Pin Straight Shampoo and Conditioner fit my budget better.
