Which shampoo would be better for natural african-american hair: Herbal Essence or Dove?

I want to switch shampoos. I want one that will make my hair more easier to manage and also detangle it along with keeping it moisturized. So I'm stuck between Dove and Herbal Essence. Any other suggestions are welcomed.Which shampoo would be better for natural african-american hair: Herbal Essence or Dove?
Don't get either! They both contain harsh chemicals called sulfates, which are horrible for African American hair. Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate both strip moisture out of your hair and leave it dry. Dryness makes it brittle and more prone to breakage. Keep in mind these are the same chemicals used to create soapy foam in floor cleaners and engine degreasers.





If you're going to use shampoo, find a sulfate free shampoo. The product lines below have sf shampoo that have received good reviews from African American women:

If you have kinky or curly hair, you can do away with shampoo all together and just co-wash. It's when you use only conditioner to wash your hair. Conditioner still contains detergents which will make your hair clean, but they are not as harsh as the sulfates found in most shampoos. Most people experience softer, more moisturized hair that grows to longer lengths. In addition, it is comparatively cheap to using organic shampoos because it only requires light drugstore conditioners.Which shampoo would be better for natural african-american hair: Herbal Essence or Dove?
Sounds like you're looking for DOVE! But it's a good idea to switch your hair products every few months, because certain products will add more of a certain chemical and stip your hair of another so it's always a good idea to have a couple shampoos on hand so that your hair isn't deprived of anything in particular


you may also find that between summer and winter you need to switch products. something that works well in winter may leave summer hair somewhat greasier!





but yes, i suggest dove for sure! i find that herbal essence is mostly good for yummy smells..but otherwise, it's not as effective as dove (in my opinion)
i would say Dove too, but another good is Pantene Pro-V, the one for black folks, it's a really good moisturizer.They have thick conditioner which make your hair super soft and manageable.
I prefer Herbal essence. If they were my only 2 choices other than that I love tressemme, it feels great.
i say Dove. i think its a blue bottle but im not sure ... herbal essence has alcohol that dries out our hair
