Do you remember and miss the ORIGINAL Clairol Herbal Essence Shampoo?

Question

In the 1970's Clairol sold a fantastic, earthy, woodsy emerald green shampoo called Herbal Essence. I am not talking about the God Awful bubble gum fragrances they are currently selling as "Herbal Essences" (plural). There are petitions on the Internet asking Clairol to bring back the Original formula but not enough people know about them. Let me know right here and I'll send this on to Clairol!

It's amazing with all this "natural product" emphasis going on that they would overlook such an obvious money making opportunity by bringing back a shampoo that made your hair smell like an Earth Goddess instead of the sickeningly sweet candy heads they offer now.

Anyone else miss this fabulous product??

Answer 1

I LOVED Herbal Essences and its real, woodsy smell not the synthetic flowery or fruity smells they have now.  Never in my life did I receive so many compliments on how my long blonde hair looked healthy and smelled great as when I used that product!  And, the conditioner kept split ends, the frizzies and dry hair in check.

Answer 2

Ha ha!  Yeah, I remember using it! It was a good product.

I liked the long gone~"Body on Tap" shampoo better though!  Body on Tap was made w/ beer, to increase hair's volume, and it smelled so wonderful! (Not like beer).

Answer 3

Yes! And now you have reminded me I want it back too! There is nothing on the market to compare to that smell....

Answer 4

Yes, and I've sent emails to the company, and they just don't seem to care whether we miss it at all.  I'm so disappointed.  This was the very best shampoo on earth.  And the best Fragrance too!!!

Answer 5

If you have a dollar store in your area, they actually sell the original green bottle with the lady on it.  Same great scent!
