Burts Bees

I was at the store the other day and happened to see that they carry the Burts Bees Shampoos and Conditioners. They smelled amazing! I was planning to try it, but I wanted to see what you all thought. Is it worth buying?

    I did not like it on my hair.  I have thick, curly hair. =)

  • I also have curly hair, and I also totally HATED them
  • the shampoos are decent. I do not like the conditioners though! I also have thick curly hair. I've tried 3 of them - the super shiny, pomegranate and the brazil nut. try giovanni's shampoo's and conditioner's, I love those! if you are at target - same place burts bees are - are also where giovanni is stocked

  • I use the Color Keeper and while I like it now, it did take some getting used to.   but I think anytime you switch from a sulfate/chemical laden product to something without all the junk in it, it will be a shock.

  • I apparently in the minority here - I LOVE them.  I have fine blonde hair that needs washing every day.  I tried several other types of shampoos/conditioners and never liked the result.  With Burt's Bees my hair is awesome.  I've gotten a ton of compliments on it, even from my hair dresser.

    If you buy the Burt's Bees Head to Toe sample kit, I think there's a sample of the grape fruit style.  I like the pomegranite ones better, but it gives you an idea. :)

    Good luck!

    I think this is me, which is why I'm still giving it a whirl. I have the Brazil nut I think and I feel like i have to use so much, but I'm used to crap ingredients otherwise so I think it might just be me? Although I did try a Naked Naturals conditioner that I loved and it was much cheaper, so I probably won't be a Burts Bees convert when it comes to hair care.

  • i'm using Burts Bees grapefruit shampoo right now and its okay. I wash my hair every other day and it looks good without any grease on the second day. Its a little frizzy on the first day, but my hair is always like that.
  • i didn't like it.  I have thick straight hair.

    What do you mean a 'shock'? I found it to be an immediate and obvious improvement. My hair has always been dry and I need so much less conditioner now that I'm not stripping it with sulfates. They do lather less, but to me, not significantly so.

    I use Burt's Bees. Ideally I'd use a smaller company's product, but I've had some bad experiences and the Burt's Bees moisture line works great for me. I do use the Gudonya Too conditioner as an extra treatment.

    Although Burt's Bees is owned by Clorox, I understand that the BB segment has maintained its 'greenness' and has done a lot of good in some areas, like saving frogs.
