I started using this shampoo when the treseme shampoo I was using before it gave me horrible dandruff. I was converted pretty quickly when it smelled amazing, got rid of nearly all the dandruff within three or four washes and left my hair (frizzy and curly and super thick) feeling and looking pretty great. I wouldn’t use anything else now.
So I definitely thought this shampoo and conditioner was only if you had dandruff and problem hair – Until one day I was at my sisters and decided to use it.. Converted straight away!! I have never had a shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so silky and smooth before! I have long curly and some what frizzy hair and this duo tames the mane!
Sunsilk really does make my hair silky. I think it is the conditioner that works so well. The one thing that I don’t like (as many shampoo and conditioners are like) is that the shampoo bottle and the conditioner bottle look so similar when I get into the shower without my glasses to read. I write in big permanent ink letter “Cond” and “Shampoo” so I can tell the difference. Sunsilk really does help with getting rid of tangles in my fine hair.
Pantene shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. I have used it for years. Even my hairdresser agrees that it is suitable for coloured hair. I would never change from Pantene. Even though it is for coloured hair I use it on my Grandchildren . They love smell and feeling afterwards, they think it is a real treat to use Nannys Shampoo and Conditioner. I have even used it on my Staffy!!
My favourite shampoo. Loreal Elseve colour protect.
I have been using this shampoo for years now. I am not even sure how long. I know that you are supposed to change each six months, but I simply can not. Maybe for a wash or two, but not an entire bottle. This stuff is great. It keeps your hair soft, clean, nourished, shiny, and really protects that colour. Smells amazing too.
My 86 year old Mum was going crazy with an itchy scalp for over a year – she changed products in desperation, including purchasing some very expensive shampoos and conditioners. She had no idea exactly why she was itching herself crazy, even after using all natural ingredients. Eventually she thought to give Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo and Conditioner a go, reasoning that surely it must be gentle enough if it can be used on the delicate scalps of babies … and voila, straight after the first use, the itching ceased … and she is SO happy about it!
Am usually fine with just using Sukin, however with my third pregnancy my scalp has been terrible! I tried a few natural solutions first but nothing worked. Then tried Cedel – instant difference! I now just use it once a week & it keeps my scalp under control. Can’t wait to be back to normal again!
I’m in love with the Sukin Organics Protein Shampoo & Conditioner. At $19.95 for 1L, it’s pricier than regular brands but probably the cheapest true organic one. I love that it helps minimise the nasties I put onto my skin, is great for my fussy scalp & hair, I can use it on the kids, and a little goes a long way so it’s actually pretty good value too for the quality you get.
This shampoo is amazing! It smells delicious, it leaves my hair soft and silky and not at all oily. The price cannot be beat (in true Aldi fashion). The bottle is cute and being small it doesn’t take up too much shower space. I definitely have and will continue to recommend this awesome shampoo.

I have recently been using Organic Care Dry Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner and I have been really please with the results. After having and breastfeeding two kids my hair has changed completely and is now really dry. I find this shampoo and conditioner is really effective for dry hair, unruly hair, it has a great scent and seems to be free from all the nasties you find in other brands. It’s readily available at the major supermarkets and best of all it’s cheap! Great value hair care!
I love Loreal Elvive shampoos. I used to buy their colour protect shampoo, but then with pregnancy I stopped colouring my hair and no longer needed to use that one. I have recently switched to the Extraordinary Oil variety instead. Loreal keeps my hair really soft and tangle free for a while. It helps to maintain the balance of oils in my hair. The only thing that I don’t like with this one is the smell, but it is growing on me.
Sunsilk really does make my hair silky. I think it is the conditioner that works so well. The one thing that I don’t like (as many shampoo and conditioners are like) is that the shampoo bottle and the conditioner bottle look so similar when I get into the shower without my glasses to read.

I am really impressed by the Goldwell Kerasilk Reconstruct Shampoo.
This shampoo is pearl-coloured and I could really feel it cleansing my hair. No need to wash my hair twice – it cleaned my hair first go (unlike some really cheap & nasty shampoos).
It left my hair smelling nice and feeling silky even before following up with the Goldwell Kerasilk Reconstruct Conditioner.
I couldn’t believe how soft and tangle free my hair became when I started to use Sunsilk brilliant shine (the one in the pink bottle). I think it is the conditioner that is making the difference. It has a beautiful scent as well. I wait for when it is on special to buy as it can get expensive.
The brand fruits although it is rather cheap is actually a good shampoo, I find it is one of the better cheap shampoos.
I was using this before I got dermatitis on my scalp and I did love using the shampoo and I absolutely love the smell of this shampoo, I’m quite sensitive to perfume and it gives me headaches but I find this scent is actually quite pleasent and doesn’t affect me which is a bonus.
I get dermatitis on my scalp so my scalp gets itchy and irratated and a doctor recommend me head and shoulders. Honestly my experience with this brand is horrible.
it didn’t work and the perfume from the shampoo was overwhelming and made my head spin to the point I almost fainted.
it took ages for me t o be able to get the pursue smell out and I thought perfume was a irritant, so why is it in a shampoo for sensitive scalps.
I will never buy this again and I don’t recommend
This shampoo is perfect for hair that has been coloured, I’ve used this shampoo for a few years and I found it to not only have a really nice gentle smell, it helps keep the hair stay bright and fresh just like it’s just been coloured and the best part is that it doesn’t irratated my skin and I have fussy skin.
it may be a salon bought shampoo but it’s worth the money, I was definitely happy with the results.
natural shampoo that's good for itchy, dry and irratated scalp
The brand moogoo has by far been the best shampoo and products I have ever tried, I get a irratated dry scalp which can some times be caused from dermatitis and this shampoo has stopped my itchy dry irratated scalp and cleared it all up within a couple washes. I’m so pleased because at times I’d find myself scratching until I had a sore
Pantene shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. I have used it for years. Even my hairdresser agrees that it is suitable for coloured hair. I would never change from Pantene. Even though it is for coloured hair I use it on my Grandchildren . They love smell and feeling afterwards, they think it is a real treat to use Nannys Shampoo and Conditioner.

I buy Tresemme for the family. It is very versatile which means I only have to buy one bottle for all the family. It leaves everyone’s hair soft and silky. I have tried many others but this is the best so far. Having mostly males I don’t want to get anything too expensive or they will only waste it by using too much each time
My favourite shampoo. Loreal Elseve colour protect.

My Shampoo is OGX I found it at Aldi and the first few times i didnt buy it as i always thought that cheap stuff was nasty and no good so when i finally got it i was amazed at everything about it, especially the fact that it was cheap yet good quality.The smell stays all day which is refreshing and my hair is always silky soft. It has the Argan Oil of Marocco and is also Sulphure free…
So I found this last week at Chemist Warehouse. I was going to buy my regular Moisture Rich Treseme, but I decided to try this out seeing it is Paraben free, free of dyes and silicone.
My hair looks and feels very clean and is much softer than normal. The coconut smell is just gorgeous and lasts at least 2 days. I was sniffing my hair non stop. I’m really pleased. I definitely recommend it.

I love Loreal. I recall reading that you’re supposed to switch your shampoo every six months. I did that in my early 20s and tried every shampoo on the market. Once I found Loreal I never went back to any other brand. It makes my hair shine, it handles hairdrying well. It is soft, and it smells great. i’d never use anything else again (I just now switch between WHICH loreal product I use).
I have been using this product for easily the last 5 years. I have tried a number of different varieties, but currently am using the Moisture Rich formula and have been for quite some time now. My hair is naturally wavy with great tendency to frizz. I straighten my hair after every wash, and this shampoo provides my hair with the most silky smooth results. Every time.
I remember once a lovely older lady asked me what I use on my hair while I was at a park with my kids. She commented on how shiney and healthy my hair looked. Needless to say I was flattered, but I had to give the credit to Tresemme. In addition to it being great on my hair, it is so cheap! Often on special for $5 for 1lt. Awesome!

‘They Taste Amazing, I’ll Definitely Be Stocking Up Again’
Having three young kids, juggling their commitments and her own as a school teacher means Kristie Young’s days revolve around snacking on-the-go. And she admits she’s not always reaching for the best options! So she was thrilled to try out new Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars and says she’ll be restocking next time she’s shopping.
Kristie is right in the middle of one her busiest seasons of life – juggling three kids (two at school), a job, partner and household. But this year, she’s made a commitment to herself.
“I’m always running around. Always a million things on my to do list, but wouldn’t have it any other way.” Kristie told Mouths of Mums.
“But I’m turning 40 this year and I thought I really need to start prioritising myself, because for the last seven years, I’ve been pregnant, breastfeeding, busy with the kids, I have not looked after myself at all.
“So this year, I’m really starting to get back into my own fitness journey, health journey, and eating a lot better and starting to eat more regularly and eat more protein filled meals and snacks that will fill me up. So I’m not just reaching for sugary snacks, especially around that afternoon, where I’m getting tired from being awake with the baby all night and just finding myself reaching for junk in the cupboard.”
A self-confessed snacker, Kristie says her snacking habit is worse during school holidays when she’s constantly making in-between meals for the kids. So she decided to give Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars a try, as part of the Mouths of Mums review team.
“They were actually filling. I like that they had eight grams of protein, because that’s something that I’m really trying to increase this year, having more protein. And they taste amazing, which is obviously great and I like that they have chocolate, because normally in the afternoon, I’m reaching for something sugary, something chocolatey, and this way I know I’m getting that protein hit as well. So they’re a bit more filling.
“They help me last until dinner time without reaching for all these other little snacks in between.”
“I also like that they’re easy to take out and about. So when I’m doing kinder drop off, dancing. I always pack snacks and food for the kids and forget myself. It’s been good put myself first and have something in the bag and on the go for me too.”
Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars not only satisfy those constant cravings throughout the day, they’re temptingly tasty. With layers of nuts and soy crisps and enveloped in milk or dark chocolate, it’s every sweet-tooth’s dream.
“I’ve tried quite a few different protein bars, and some of them I don’t like the aftertaste or the textures too hard. Whereas I found this had a nice amount of crunch, the flavour was really nice, and the perfect amount of chocolate too.”
With three delectable flavours to choose from, Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars make mum me-time an indulgent treat, with no artificial flavours or colours:
Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc: Crunchy cashews, peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious caramel layer and coated in rich milk choc.
Cookies & Cream Dark Choc: Crunchy peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious cream layer and coated in rich dark choc.
Almond & Double Choc: Crunchy almonds, peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious white choc layer and coated in rich milk choc.
How amazing do these flavours sound?! Kristie tried a couple of the flavours, and for her the Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc was an absolute standout!
“I’ve got the Almond & Double Choc, which I love and Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc. And at first I thought this one might be too sweet with the salted caramel, but it’s actually not. It’s perfect, the perfect balance. Probably my favourite!’
“They’re so good for having the desk draw at work, those little snacks. I’m not just reaching for sugary rubbish. I know they’ve got protein, especially in the afternoon, when I am running low on energy from being kept awake all night. It’s good to have these in the drawer and just have one each day, which I’m enjoying, something to look forward to at work.
“I’m putting them on the shopping list, so when I run out of these, I’m off to get some more for myself. My partner tried them, and he’s approved them. He wants some too. I said he can’t have my stash, so I know I’ll definitely be stocking up again at the supermarket. I’m recommending them and really enjoying them.”
Purchase Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars from Woolworths and Coles.
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Kristie was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars and genuinely loved them!
I rarely snack throughout the day and have an aversion to sweet things, anyway, so would not have tried these bars off my own bat. It is good to hear these reviews and that everyone liked them, but I still doubt I would buy a pack of 5 bars in case I didn’t like the sweetness of them. I avoid cakes when going out to coffee as well.
I’ve tried these too and found them filling and satisfying . They give me that chocolate fix that I crave but are small portions. I am trying to be healthier from now on too. Swimming every day and stopping the snacking. When I do have one of these it is planned.
Ive always l9ved the nice and natural bars and buy them quite often but I’m yet to try the deluxe protein bars. After reading this review and the comments ill definitely bevtrying them out as they sound delicious. I’m a bit of a sucker for caramel and chocolate so I know which ones ill be trying first!
These bars were soo good! I was hesitant thinking the added protein would make this taste funny or have a weird flavour but they taste amazing and are so addictive! I really enjoyed the cookies & cream flavour. They are super convenient to take on the go and are more filling!
It is always so great to hear and read other mum reviews of products. I love these muesli bars, they are so delicious and perfect to keep in your handbag or laptop bag for a snack at work or if you are on the go. This brand of muesli bars is one of my favourites as they have lots of flavour.
I trust your judgement Kristie so these will be put on my shopping list for my next trip for groceries. My son runs his own shop and he is always having muesli bars. I think these ones will be so much better for him health wise as well as being tasty.
Thank you for sharing your review with us Kristie, it’s nice that your experience was such a positive one. My daughter is very much into protein rich foods currently (together with going to the gym) and I believe she has tried these bars as well. However the bars have not such high star rating and personally I consider them as not so healthy
Thank you Kristie for a very relatable and down to earth review with a lot of good detail. I found similar features with the bars when I reviewed them. The bars are not too hard and they are not too sweet which is terrific in a protein bar. These bars are now on our shopping list.
I was lucky enough to also receive Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein bars to taste and review. I was surprised with the taste and the texture of the bars. Salted caramel, cashew and choc is my favorite flavour and one of these bars with a cuppa for morning or afternoon tea is simply so satisfying.
