Himalaya Herbals Extra Moisturizing Protein Shampoo Normal to Dry Hair Review
In my household, Himalaya Herbals is a trusted name and brand because of their claims of manufacturing their range in line with the principles of Ayurveda and also that it is an Indian brand.
So any new product launches from them are always tried and tested before it becomes a staple in the household shopping list.
I live in a large, joint family so you can see almost every member having one or the other product from Himalaya.
Some time back they had launched hair care which clearly states NEW Improved in a green circle on the top corner of the bottle and that it is devoid of SLES and other harmful chemicals so I got to use many of their new shampoos. This particular one was bought during that time.
And I finally got over with two bottles and am ready to review it now.
I was particularly having very dry hair from August last year and opted to cut off all my hair in September to grow out healthier hair.
So let's see if it helped my moisture-beaten locks. When I say dry, I mean REALLY, really dry. Like nothing can save it. So even if this really says extra moisturizing it had better live up to it's claims.
During the first washes to test a new shampoo out, I never use oil or conditioner, just to see how it fares. I do this comparison test with every new shampoo I try. Just to see how much after or before care products will be needed in further usages. In subsequent washes, I use oil and conditioner as per requirement. Did this live up to the test?
You need a blob of about this much product if you have thick and long hair. To get some lather you need slightly more product. It does leave your scalp clean but if you have oiled your hair heavily, you will need way more product.
I found that it doesn't remove oil too well, I need a harsher product for the days I use oil or any treatments.
I would use this only for gentler washes.
I have to say this doesn't give any form of moisture to the hair. If you hair felt like hay before you used it, it will feel like better hay after. The claims are completely nullified. And I have been trying to finish this product for a while now. I know what I am saying. Please Himalaya, you need to completely turn around this product and re-formulate if you mention extra moisturizing. It does not do it's job.
On the plus side it has onion,fenugreek, sesame, licorice,aloe and netted melon as key ingredients. They are all excellent for your hair.The ingredients seriously impressed me so much!!!
This smells really nice. I like it in those respects.
However, you will have to deep condition if you use this as a shampoo, I always slap conditioners and serums after.
If you are interested to purchase it, you can buy it here
MRP- Rs.115 for 200ml
Packaging is good. Easy to use.
Shampoo is free of SLES, Parabens, Silicones, Synthetic colours and artificial foaming agents.
