I got Naked with Herbal Essences and Influenster

So I'm a proud member of Influenster, where you can unlock badges related to your interests (mine are decorating, pet, and beauty products, mostly) and if you have enough social media clout and meet the requirements they're looking for (found out via email survey) you'll get a box of goodies sent to you to test out and review. I recently got sent a box with Herbal Essences naked Moisture shampoo & conditioner, as well as the naked dry shampoo. 

Super excited to see this in the mailbox

The Herbal Essences naked line comes in three flavors - shine, volume, and moisture. As I said, I got sent the moisture shampoo and conditioner to try. According to the HE website, the naked line is "free of heavy residues, parabens, and dyes." I've been testing these for about a week and a half now, and want to share my thoughts.

The goodies!

The moisture version like smells like mint and lavender, I believe. It's got a really pleasant scent. I currently work in a deli, so when I get off work I'm a smelly, sweaty mess. I smell of fried chicken and meats. so it's important to me that my hair products smell good and actually get rid of the food smell. Trust me, the smell of grease permeates hair. BUT, this shampoo and conditioner does a really good job of making my hair smell fresh.

Shampoo

As you can see, the shampoo is clear - you know, the whole "no dyes" thing.

Conditioner

My hair is pretty healthy, since I got it chopped off not too long ago, so I don't really NEED a moisture shampoo. Heck, even when I needed one I still opted for a volume/body shampoo. Priorities. But, this definitely left my hair soft, clean, and smelling good. It was, perhaps, a little too heavy for my fine hair. This might be something I try again in the winter, when my hair needs some added moisture. 

Dry shampoo

I really like the dry shampoo - and BONUS - it was full sized :) It gives my hair a little volume and texture on days that I let it air dry, and it revives my second day hair rather nicely and prevents me from feeling like a grease monster. Plus, any bedhead I might have, this takes care of it.

I really like the naked line from Herbal Essences. I probably won't be repurchasing the moisture line until winter, because that's when I need moisture the most. I've used the volume version of the shampoo and conditioner before and really liked it. I definitely recommend trying this line out when you need to get some new hair products.
