Herbal Essences Naked Kit Review & Walmart Gift Card Winner Announced!

I received a Walmart gift card in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.
 
So a few weeks ago I told you all about the Herbal Essences Naked Kit that I ordered online from Walmart.com. The awesome thing about Herbal Essence Naked Collection is that it contains zero dyes or parabens – and as I am trying to go more natural, this was right up my alley.
 
Herbal Essences Naked Bundle Pack 1 Kit  Beauty2
The Herbal Essences Naked Collection consists of shampoo, conditioner, and hair styling products that are formulated without parabens, colorants, and sulfate keeping the formula as “naked” as possible.Herbal Essences Naked Cleansing Conditioner is a sulfate and paraben formula which works to cleanse and conditioner hair in one step. Simply apply three to four pumps to wet hair, comb through or leave in for 5-6 minutes, and rinse out. No need to use shampoo as it works to cleanse and conditioner your hair in a single step much like Wen’s popular cleansing conditioner.It has that super fresh fruity floral scent that most Herbal Essences products has with a slight twist of mint.I was pleasantly surprised how soft and manageable it made my hair without weighing it down. Even after the first use, my hair was extremely manageable with very little tangles to fight through plus my hair was very soft and frizz-free! Not to mention it smelled amazing too!

Even though I’m in dire need of a haircut, the Herbal Essence Naked Kit made my hair manageable and ready to shine! (and my daughter’s as well!)
