Herbal Hair Products

Herbs are one of the dozens of ingredients used in modern shampoos, reports haircare expert Paula Begoun. They can be used to help cleanse, moisturize and nourish your hair. For the best results, choose an herbal haircare product that's been recommended by hair and beauty experts.

Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner

Real Simple magazine's beauty editors highlight Herbal Essences' line of herbal shampoos and conditioners as some of America's best classic beauty products. These haircare products come in over a dozen unique formulas designed for various hair types and needs, such as dry hair or color-treated hair. Each bottle focuses on a specific combination of herbs that lend the product conditioning effects and its trademark fragrance.

Many conditioning hair treatments are too heavy for oily hair, as they simply add more oils to an oily scalp and hair shaft. Not so with Clairol's herbal conditioner, which is recommended by the editors of Shape magazine as one of the best conditioners for oily hair. It uses natural herbal astringents plus lightweight conditioning agents, to give your hair the moisture it needs without overwhelming it.

Davines Shampoo

Davines offers more than a dozen formulations of its shampoo. The entire line won a rare Editors' Pick award from InStyle magazine, which praised its "herbal-enhanced formulas." Ingredients include carrot extract, arugula extract and chestnut extract. Each herb has been chosen to help a specific hair condition, like fine and thin hair. The magazine concludes that these products will boost your hair's appearance and leave it feeling soft.
