Review: Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Shampoo and Conditioner

Mootilda
All my life, I have had extremely long hair. It's always fit me perfectly, and I never considered cutting it. Up until I was about 15 years old, I never had a problem with my hair, but as the years went on, my hair seemed to go out of control. Having long hair is a privilege, but with my hair being so fluffy and stat-icky, it can often become a pain, especially during the summer months when the humidity is high, and so is my hair!

It had come to a point where something needed to be done. I had to find products that would help my hair remain straight and calm, or I would have to make the decision to cut it. And then the day came. My husband, being the kind man that he is, went out and splurged on a few things to help me feel better about my hair being so out of control. He came across a shampoo by Herbal Essences called Dangerously Straight. I tried it for the first time that night, and I honestly don't know how I lasted so long without it. Due to the fact that my hair is thick, I have trouble straightening it, and some shampoos do more damage than good. I often find myself using shampoos that actually make my hair feel dry and rough. This shampoo was the complete opposite!

So, I put the shampoo on my head for the first time, and began to lather. Not only did this shampoo lather instantly, but I noticed an immediate difference in the way that my hair felt. It felt extremely smooth, almost as if I was using conditioner. After washing my hair once, rinsing and shampooing again as recommended, I then used the conditioner. Just when I thought my hair couldn't get any softer, it did.

Unlike other shampoos I had tried, the softness lasted, and I noticed a big difference when styling my hair. It was extremely easy to straighten, and also smelled amazing, as many other Herbal Essences products do! The proof was when I had a few people comment on what perfume I was wearing.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has thick, uneasy hair. Herbal Essences is worth every penny spent, but most importantly, it's reasonably priced. I often purchase this shampoo and conditioner for $2.50 each. If you look on the shelves of your local grocery store, you will notice that most shampoos that are lower quality are priced higher.

    I just used the Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight shampoo and conditioner... it did not make my hair completely straight, but it made my hair have bounce and shine. It doesn't seem to make hair straight just by the shampoo, but it makes the flat iron do a better job. Also the fragrance is very nice and fruity. This product gets the tangles and knots right out of your head. Overall, I think this was a good product even though it didn't do what was written on the bottle!

    I love this stuff. It works so well. randi, if you get none of your frizzness it will probably work un humidity.

    I used this shampoo for the first time and it is absolutely amazing! I used to have naturally straight hair, but its been getting wavy ever since last year. This shampoo works wonders! It made my hair amazingly smooth, luscious, and straight! I would recommend it to people with Straight - Wavy hair.
