Can I be totally honest? I used to hate coloring my hair. I mean, who actually enjoys spending half a day with gloves on, dodging drips, and hoping you won’t stain your ears (again)? The whole “regular dye” routine was a nightmare, mess everywhere, the chemical smell that stuck to everything, and let’s not even talk about the itchy scalp that stuck around way longer than the color ever did.

So when I finally gave in and tried a herbishh hair color shampoo I went in super skeptical but also secretly hoping it would be the shortcut I’d been looking for. Spoiler: I wish I’d done it sooner. If you’ve ever found yourself dreading the next box dye session, you’ll get why this was such a big deal for me.

Life with Regular Hair Dye

My old hair dye routine was pure chaos. Let me paint you a picture, I’m hunched over the sink, mixing smelly stuff in a bowl, wearing that “free” plastic cape that sticks to my neck, and my bathroom ends up looking like a crime scene. No matter how careful I was, there was always a random patch on my forehead or a weird dark spot on the back of my neck (my family loved pointing those out, by the way).

The process was slow and kind of stressful. My hair looked okay for the first week, but by the time week two rolled around, it was already fading and my scalp felt dry and cranky. Plus, washing out the dye always left me crossing my fingers that my shower wouldn’t stain. Honestly, I started putting off coloring my hair just because the whole thing felt like a chore.

Discovering Hair Color Shampoo

One day, after a particularly tragic dye mishap, I found myself doom-scrolling hair color hacks. That’s when I started seeing people rave about hair color shampoos. I’ll admit I thought, “How is a shampoo supposed to color my hair? Am I about to ruin it again?”

But the idea stuck with me. Mostly because I was tired. Tired of planning my weekends around dye days, tired of the smell, tired of my scalp throwing a tantrum every single time. The more I thought about it, the more sense it made. If I already shampoo my hair… why not try coloring it the same way?

I wasn’t expecting miracles. I just wanted something that wouldn’t take forever. Something I could do without mentally preparing myself for battle. So eventually, curiosity won. I figured I’d try it once and if it failed, I’d go back to my usual routine.

Why Herbishh Specifically

So why did I reach for Herbishh instead of just any hair color shampoo on the shelf? Well the truth is after one too many dye disasters, I was done gambling with my hair. Herbishh just felt safer. Real ingredients, no harsh chemicals, and every review I read had people saying their hair actually felt softer after.

A few things that attracted me:

• No ammonia, no harsh smell: I didn’t want my bathroom or my head to smell like a science lab anymore.
  

• Plant-based oils and real extracts: Argan oil, noni fruit, wild ginseng, stuff I can actually pronounce, and the idea of extra nourishment seems fascinating to me.
  

• Covers grays without a fight: So, that’s the battle most of us are here for. People kept raving about the100% gray coverage, totally true.
  

• Easy, no-mess application: I wanted something I could literally slap on like shampoo in the shower and rinse off, no complicated mixing or plastic capes required.
  

• Doesn’t wreck your hair: The biggest surprise in reviews was people saying their hair felt better after, not dry or straw-like. So yeah that’s a big win.
  

So yeah, Herbishh made sense. I wanted something gentle, simple, and made for people who don’t want their hair color routine to turn into a full-blown project every single time.

Side-by-Side Experience

Regular hair dye and Herbishh color shampoo are two totally different worlds. Here’s exactly how my routine changed, side by side:

Prep Time:
Regular Dye: Clear your schedule for an hour, cover every surface, find old T-shirts you don’t mind ruining.
Herbishh Color Shampoo: Just grab the gloves, hop in the shower, and you’re basically ready to go.

Application:
Regular Dye: Mix bottles, brush on the goop, hope you don’t miss a spot.
Herbishh Color Shampoo: Squeeze, lather like a regular shampoo, massage through, done.

Smell:
Regular Dye: Chemical cloud that lingers all day (and probably in your nose).
Herbishh Color Shampoo: No harsh chemical smell just a normal, pleasant scent.

Mess Factor:
Regular Dye: Drips everywhere, stained ears and neck, towels and counters at risk.
Herbishh Color Shampoo: No drips, no mess, no stains on skin or tiles. Easiest cleanup ever.

Processing & Wait:
Regular Dye: Stand around for 40+ minutes, watching the clock.
Herbishh Color Shampoo: Wait 15–20 minutes in the shower, scroll your phone, sing and done.

Wash Out:
Regular Dye: Water runs dark, shower gets stained, hair sometimes feels squeaky or rough.
Herbishh Color Shampoo: Rinses clean, hair feels soft and conditioned.

Results:
Regular Dye: Covers gray (sometimes), but hair often feels dry, and color fades fast.
Herbishh Color Shampoo: 100% Grays covered, color looks natural, hair feels softer and shinier.

How I Felt After:
Regular Dye: Relieved it’s over. Dread doing it again next month.
Herbishh Color Shampoo: Actually felt pampered. I didn't mind the idea of coloring again soon.

What Surprised Me the Most

Soft hair- Honestly, what shocked me wasn’t just how easy the process was, but how my hair actually felt better after. I’m used to my hair feeling kind of crunchy and dry for days after using regular dye, but with Herbishh, my hair felt smoother and looked shinier, right from the first wash.

Zero Stain- Another surprise was zero stains on my skin, ears, or the bathroom tiles. Seriously, I didn’t have to scrub my forehead for twenty minutes. The color lasted longer than I expected, and my hair didn’t go dull after a couple of washes. And maybe the best part I actually didn’t dread coloring my hair anymore. For once, it felt like a treat instead of a chore.

Who I’d Recommend This To

I’d recommend Herbishh color shampoo to:

• Busy professionals who barely have time to sit still, let alone spend an hour with a hair dye kit.
  
• Parents juggling everything and looking for a way to cover gray roots without a mess
  
• Anyone with sensitive scalps who fears that burning, itchy feeling from traditional dyes.
  
• People who travel often or just want a mess-free, portable color fix on the go.
  
• First-time home colorers who don’t want to risk their bathroom on something complicated.
  
• People who care about ingredients and want a gentler, plant-based formula without harsh chemicals.
  

If you’re after something simple, effective, and honestly kind of life-changing for your hair routine, this is it.

Conclusion

Switching from regular dye to Herbishh color shampoo honestly changed the whole way I think about coloring my hair. What used to feel like a chore now feels like care and my hair actually looks and feels better for it.

If you’re on the fence, take this as your sign to try something easier. I wish I’d made the switch sooner. Sometimes, the best beauty routine is the one that finally makes life simpler and lets you spend less time in the bathroom, and more time living.
