So I got a sample of this “hair mystery” shampoo and conditioner a few weeks ago and finally got around to using it this week. The sample was pretty generous in size as it lasted me for 3 hair washings, so I was able to really get a hold on how my hair reacted to it.
First off, I color my hair. I have to or else I would be a big silver and grey mess. This mystery shampoo and conditioner did not strip my hair color at all and it remained intact.
The scent is very clean and maybe a hint of fruit? My hair was also very soft and surprisingly very shiny.
Looking on the back of the sample, I can see the mystery product is from Proctor & Gamble. At first I thought maybe Herbal Essence reformulated their product. However, when I was at the supermarket tonight I noticed something on the Head & Shoulders bottle. The logo appears to be similar to that on the sample. Hmmm. My guess then is that the “Hair Mystery” sample is a reformulated Head & Shoulders..and honestly I am shocked. I never expected a “dandruff” shampoo to make my hair look and feel so good. Wow.
So what do you think? Have you tried a sample yourself? Am I on to something with the logo thing? I guess we’ll all find out on December 17th when Ellen DeGeneres will finally reveal which brand it is on her show!
Update: It looks like my sleuthing skills paid off! Head & Shoulders was indeed the mystery shampoo & conditioner! I’m still floored by how great it made my hair look and feel!
I am with you lady, that sample made my hair feel great. It was shiny and even felt thicker. Who would have thought it would be Head and Shoulders? Oh well it works I know what I am going to buy next!
I love a good mystery – although, I’m always trying to “solve” it! LOL! Since Ellen is a spokeswoman for Cover Girl (a P& G product) I’m not surprised that the mystery shampoo was a P&G product — but I too am surprised it’s H&S.
i use H&S all the time and it makes my hair look really good. i think the reformulated version is much better than the original
