The product

Sometimes we just wish we could take our hair on a spa day and let it have the opportunity to reset.

But instead of forking out a hefty wad of cash to do the job, we’ve decided to turn to a far more affordable, PETA certified cruelty-free option: Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Shampoo with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower and Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Conditioner with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower.

This moisture-balancing shampoo and conditioner combo helps to hydrate hair, boost shine, and enhance silkiness. The pair even have that dreamy spa smell, with real scent notes of pear, lily and jasmine, which makes the experience so memorable.

The formulas are enriched with botanicals like chamomile, aloe vera, and passion flower which help to nourish, moisturise and condition hair, so you can enjoy your most radiant mane yet. Plus, an added bonus; the packaging is now recyclable.

Here’s what our panel of Review Crew® testers thought about this budget-friendly shampoo and conditioner.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Shampoo with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower and Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Conditioner with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower.

It helped to restore their dry hair: Our members with especially dry strands were really impressed by how the shampoo and conditioner helped to moisturise their hair

Their hair looked silky and shiny: After washing their hair with the shampoo and conditioner, a number of reviewers noted that their hair looked silkier and shinier than ever before.

The stunning scent: Review Crew® members kept mentioning just how much they loved the scent of the shampoo and conditioner; the fragrance of pear, lily and jasmine lingered in their hair for days after washing.

The verdict

“[Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Shampoo with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower] is amazing, beautifully scented, and leaves your hair smooth and soft. I loved it, I just needed a small amount and my hair feels clean and soft afterwards. I love that it has this fragrance which lingers after and it gives the feeling of freshness. I have been using this for the past 2 weeks and my hair has never felt this healthy. It just locks the moisture in and makes the hair softer and smoother. My husband loves the fragrance which is not too overpowering but just the perfect scent which makes you feel fresher.”

“I have long, straight, thin hair but I have a fair bit of it! My hair does get unmanageable and quite oily so those are my main concerns when looking for a shampoo. I am really happy with how [Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Shampoo with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower] left my hair — it was clean, fresh and soft. Perfect for frequent use. The product is easy to use, the shampoo smells amazing and lathers up really nicely to get a good clean. It didn’t dry out my hair or leave it feeling oily. I have always loved using Herbal Essences and the Herbal Essences Classics Chamomile Shampoo has not disappointed. Would buy again.”

“I have never been able to find a product like [Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Conditioner with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower] I have very long hair and have found that most conditioners do not leave my hair feeling silky or light. I am so happy with this product, and have never felt this type of smoothness before. I have found that after blow drying my hair it looks SO shiny, and I have received a lot of compliments about it since using the product. The scent of the conditioner is also amazing and leaves your hair smelling so beautiful.”

“[Herbal Essences Classics Moisture-Balancing Conditioner with Chamomile Aloe Vera and Passion Flower] used with the shampoo made my hair so smooth, soft feeling and frizz-free. As someone with balayage hair I always struggle with knots in the ends where it is bleached and use conditioner to try make it easier to detangle. I only used a small amount each time but I found that this conditioner made it so easy to brush out my hair both in the shower, and once it had dried. My hair felt so soft and I couldn't stop touching it the day after. It also smells amazing, really calming and relaxing, but I wish the scent actually lasted on my hair afterwards.”
