Henara are a brand I hadn’t heard of until recently, when I was asked if I would like to try out their Goldshine shampoo and conditioner for blonde hair.
As I regularly have blonde highlights, I thought I would give them a go, as I’ve never really come across any hair products for use on coloured hair that I would recommend to my friends, family and you guys who read my blog. And believe me, I’ve tried a lot!
As always, I’ll start by sharing my thoughts on the packaging. The Henara Goldshine Shampoo & Conditioner cost just £1.49 each, and come in 250ml tubes which are a lovely bright yellow colour. In the top corner is a coloured band which tells us that they have a ‘new, improved formula’ and there is a matching coloured band towards the bottom of each product which tells us which product is which. The shampoo has a pink band, and the conditioner has a green one, and both products are 100% free from parabens and SLS.
Henara Goldshine Shampoo
The first time I used this shampoo, I squirted it into the palm of my hand and instantly noticed how lovely it smelt. With these sorts of products in the past I’ve not liked the scent as much as I did with regular shampoo’s, so this was a huge bonus for me.
It has natural Henna and Chamomile extracts to help enhance the colour of natural and coloured blonde hair, and I really feel that it cleanses and refreshes my highlights. My hair always feels super glossy after I use this product, and it seems to be a lot more manageable than it usually is.
You use Henara’s Goldshine shampoo just as you would any other shampoo – massage it in to wet hair and rinse thoroughly. You can repeat if necessary, but the only time I’ve ever felt the need to do this was once after I’d taken the kids swimming.
Henara Goldshine Conditioner
In the past I was always scared of using conditioners, as I always found that they left my hair feeling weighed down and kind of ‘icky’. But in the last 6 months I’ve changed my mind about them, and they’ve become an important step in my hair care routine.
The Henara Goldshine Conditioner is one of the best I’ve ever used, as it leaves my hair feeling super soft and much more manageable after I’ve used it – which is exactly what I want from this sort of product. And again, this has natural Henna and Chamomile extracts to help enhance the colour of natural and coloured blonde hair.
I always use this particular conditioner alongside the Henara Goldshine Shampoo (mentioned above), and, since my hair is super fine, I only ever use it on the lengths. I just massage it in and then rinse thoroughly. And I would never recommend repeating with conditioner. One application is more than enough!
Overall I am really impressed with the Henara Goldshine range. I find that my highlights have looked a lot fresher for longer than they usually do. The range has most definitely prevented premature fading, and I didn’t notice any of the usual brassiness coming through that I normally do after the first couple of washes following a cut and colour.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention how lovely and shiny my hair looks after using Henara’s Goldshine range! In the past I’ve felt that my hair looks somewhat dull and lifeless after a few weeks, put these products really seem to give it some extra life. I love them!
I’m almost at the bottom of my tubes of Henara Goldshine Shampoo & Conditioner and I’m gutted as I can’t find any in my local Savers (who are the only store who stock it as far as I’m aware). I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for ones outside of my local area and stock up as soon as I possibly can!
A few of you also asked if Henara do a shampoo and conditioner for brunettes as well, and after a little search in the Great Yarmouth branch of Savers, I found that the answer is yes, there is a Bronze Shine version of this as well. Fantastic!

Nice review. I also have fine hair and have always hesitated to use conditioner. Since going chemical free, I feel like my hair doesn’t feel “quite right” after a shampoo, but that’s probably just because it’s not coated in chemicals!!! You have given me the courage to try conditioner!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Marie 🙂 I really used to hate conditioners, but now I find they really help if I steer clear of using it on the roots, but concentrate on the lengths instead 🙂 xx
I don’t have blonde hair 🙁 boo
But I am so tempted now to see if they have other products more suited to me in their range. I think these are a decent price and if you have had good results with fine hair, then I may do too!

They’ve been fantastic on my hair Kaye, and I usually hate washing and styling as it can be a complete nightmare with the little I have to work with 🙂 I popped into Great Yarmouth Savers yesterday and they had a brunette version of these as well as the blonde ones, and they’d gone down to a pound each as well … bargain!xx
Does the company do brunnette products? I’d love to give them a try, I workout so i’m constantly washing my hair, it’s starting to get dry 🙁
Hi Amy, I noticed yesterday that they do a Bronze Shine version of this shampoo and conditioner as well as the Gold Shine one 🙂 Xx
These pictures are so pretty, I’d love to try these products as they look like they are great quality! 🙂 x
I might have to check out the brunette version of this as it seems like such a great product! And it’s such a great price too. x

This looks really promising. Currently I am using the tresemme range including the conditioner. I’m like you, up to one year ago or so I haven’t used conditioner at all, but now that I am using it my hair is so much softer. I have very thin hair. I’m glad to hear this is available for brunettes. Originally my hair colour is dark blonde but since dyeing it all the time it doesn’t seem to change colour anymore and I haven’t dyed in over 2 years.

Oh this shampoo and conditioner really sounds promising! I have highlighted hair and after a while is does look a little dull, so any product which will enhance my fake golden locks is a complete bonus! Great review.

Great review I have such fine hair too and use to hae using conditioner.
I love the look of these as I use to try out blonde Shampoos all the time when my hair was lighter to keep the color.
joanna bayfors recently posted…What’s in Blake’s Memory Box
I’m always wary of trying new shampoos and conditioners because I have such a sensitive scalp and suffer with psoriasis. 🙁 I see and smell such lovely shampoos but know I can’t use them, ahh! I use Alberto Balsam mint and tea tree shampoo and conditioner, it smells gorgeous and is nice and cooling on my head. I am a huge conditioner fan though – I have a lot of hair, very curly hair, so if I don’t condition (and brush while conditioning) it becomes one big mess of frizz and it gets very dry. I’d love to live a conditioner-free life because it takes me so long (curly hair struggles.. seriously, I brush the same ten strands of hair for like ten minutes!), maybe some day there will be a tech to prevent this! 😛
Great Review! I am always on the look out for a really good hair care product! I have fine hair too but have my hair hair dyed red (naturally blond) so when I go back to blond I am totally going to give this product a try!x Thanksxx
What a lovely review. I think I need to try these out as my highlights get a little brassy and faded after a few weeks so the shampoo and conditioner sounds awesome. Thank you so much for sharing x

These sound like a bargain! I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for them if I decide to go blonde again.

These sound like lovely products, I have extremely thin hair and am constantly trying new shampoos, I’ve yet to find one that leaves me feeling like it’s one I will stick with. I must look out for these and give them a try.

This sounds great. I can’t believe how cheap it is. I have ombre hair and its really dry at the ends so this sounds like it would help make is more manageable.

Great review of some fantastic budget priced hair products. I would need the brunette but would buy these for my son who has shoulder length hair.

Great review and what a fantastic price point for a great product. I would need a brunette one myself but Ive always been dubious about products like this because i have used a lot myself. So I will have a look out for this brand and give the brunette version a try.

I have thick, curly and frizzy hair and it is a lions mane to say the least! I will have a look out for the brunette version and see how it works on my hair.

A great review, they seem to be a really good product and at a fantastic price. I’d need a brunette version personally.
A word of warning…I have just received the Brozeshine versions of this product which state ‘paraben and SLS free’ on the front quite clearly yet the 2nd ingredient in the shampoo is Sodium Laureth Sulfate! Not tried them yet but I’ve e-mailed the company to clarify…hmmmmm
I know this is a very old comment, but in case you do ever see this:
SLS is the abbreviation used for Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, the known irritant, which is distinct from Sodium Laureth Sulphate (abbreviated to SLES). So it depends whether you’re trying to avoid irritation from SLS specifically, or trying to avoid sulphates whether SLES is an acceptable ingredient for you 🙂
I used to be a redhead but now I am blond. I have been usjnd the old henara for blonds for yezrs as my hair has faded and people have always asked me where I go for my highlights and don’t believe me when I say I have never either dyed ir bleached my hair. Sadly they do not make that shampoo any more and though I have bought the new goldshine it falls very short of the originL it xoes not have the lovely smell of the original, in fact I get rather a chemical smell from it. Today I used the very last of my old bottle and though I have bought six of the new stuff, I am really sad I can not buy the real one any more. Havs they gons out of business and sold the brand name on? Would love to know where I could gef my hanxs on some of the original.
The he Mara intensive treatment wax for all hair types is really good.
However I can’t find it anywhere anymore. Have they gone out of business?
