Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about this sulphate-free duo

The product

When it comes to formulating a game plan to tackle dry, damaged and dull strands, often we can be overzealous, overloading our hair with heavy hydrating products.

Finding the right balance has always been a game of trial and error.

But Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe & Avocado Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe & Avocado Oil Nourishing Conditioner take the guesswork out of the whole process.

This sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner duo gently cleanses hair, while nourishing lengths with natural moisturising ingredients such as aloe and avocado oil. Safe to use on coloured hair, this fresh-smelling hair care range is also free from nasties and formulated with 90 per cent natural origin ingredients.

Here’s what our panel of Review Crew® testers had to say about this balanced and nourishing shampoo and conditioner.

The panel

Beauty Crew sent the Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe & Avocado Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe & Avocado Oil Nourishing Conditioner to a panel of women aged 18 to 36 with dry, damaged, dull and lacklustre hair.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe & Avocado Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe & Avocado Oil Nourishing Conditioner.

The lightweight nourishment: Reviewers loved the way the shampoo and conditioner worked in tandem to gently cleanse hair and restore moisture, promoting nourished, healthy, soft strands.

The sulphate-free formula: Review Crew® members were impressed by the sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner formulas, which allowed them to effectively cleanse their hair without stripping it of moisture.

The refreshing, gender-neutral scent: Almost every single reviewer mentioned the refreshing fragrance of the shampoo and conditioner, with many saying it was a welcome change from traditional floral and feminine scents typically found in hair care.

The verdict

“I have been using [Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe & Avocado Oil Nourishing Shampoo] for a few weeks now along with the conditioner and I have noticed my hair feeling much softer and hydrated. You only need a small amount of shampoo as it lathers nicely and goes a long way. I love the smell of this product (it's the best part) and have found that the scent has lasted for a few days making my hair still feel fresh, even after a sweaty workout! I also dye my hair and have found that this shampoo hasn't changed my colour or made it dull. This is an affordable product that I will continue to purchase.”

“I absolutely love the Herbal Essences bio:renew Potent Aloe and Avocado Oil Nourishing Shampoo!! It smells fantastic and lathers very well in my hair so I didn't need to use a ton of product to get that lather going. It left my hair feeling nourished, soft, shiny and clean. I felt that it kept my hair cleaner for longer too. The packaging was easy to use and looked fresh and bright in my bathroom. I highly recommend this product to anyone with oily roots and dry ends or who needs something to tame and smooth their mane.”

“I was surprisingly pleased with this product, having used salon hair products for years, I was not sure how a supermarket brand would compare. Only a small amount of the product was required to nourish the hair, and paired with the shampoo my hair smelt gorgeous afterwards and was very soft. The outcome was much the same as the salon products I use, and I would definitely continue to use. The product also worked really well on my blonde highlighted hair, leaving it looking fresh and bright, and removing any brassy tones.”

“This conditioner is just as it says - nourishing! It feels like such a high quality product on your hair for such an affordable price. You only need a little bit and it goes a long way. After using this conditioner my hair was never frizzy or dry or felt damaged anymore. It felt so silky, soft and healthy. It also put my mind at ease that I was putting all natural ingredients in my hair and I could definitely feel the difference. The packaging was also effective and fun as the conditioner came out like a star shape.”
