Heavenly Hydrated Hair

I have afro hair and managing it growing up hasn't always been the easiest task. School was in the front seat and my hair tied into a pony tail or a bun. Now that I'm a lot older I have more time to manage my beautiful tresses.

I used to be the kind of person who would stick to a product that worked for them, dedicated years stood firmly next to the products that never did me wrong but as I hit my teens I wanted to do things my way. No more did my mother do my hair (love you mum) and exploring the world of make-up and skin care as if I was back packing my way through Boots for Summer.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that experimenting should never be scary. On one of my many explorations around supermarkets Herbal Essences- Hello Hydration caught my eye. At this time my hair was in serious need of a change. I had let it get into a state where it was so dry that I couldn't get a comb through it let alone a brush and had totally given up on correcting the ghastly situation. Hats has become my all year round friend.


Hydration is what my hair desperately needed and Herbal Essences was calling to me. At this time Herbal Essences had just come out with their new bottle shape and design. Hello Hydration contains specifically Hawaiian coconut and orchid extracts but it's the coconut that attracted me to this blue beauty. I've known since a kid coconut is great for my thick, yet wavy and straight all at once type of hair.

Coconut is a highly effective conditioner. It provides moisture, helps prevent breakage and split ends and slows down hair loss to name a few perks. The consistency of the shampoo is thin so I felt I could really work it into my thick hair carefully and weirdly enough I didn't have to use too much but I think I will look out for a bigger value pack if possible.

I'm happy to say this blog post has a happy ending. It took a while for my hair to get used to Herbal Essences- Hello Hydration but by the end of the shampoo and conditioner my hair was always tangle free and I didn't have to use any other products on my hair (combing the conditioner through my hair really helped btw).
