Who remembers Revlon Flex shampoo?

I had long forgotten this shampoo and conditioner but caught a whiff of it on my hair after using L’Oréal dream lengths. It’s not really the same but something registered in my scent memory.I loved it in my teens and 20s. The conditioner was thick and yellow and the smell lingered in your hair for days plus my hair felt bouncy and shiny. Win , win.
Does anyone know if you can still get it anywhere?

@Mummyjemma81 Do you know if it's the same/smells the same?

Will go there tomorrow!

They also do raspberry flavoured Fry's chocolate cream...

I'm not sure but....... I recently bought the thick yellow revlon conditioner.....and when I was using it I had this smell flashback of being a child ( im 42) so I googled what does revlon conditioner smell of....and it brought me to this forum.

@Mummyjemma81 @BurningTheToast I think it smells the same 😀 it's £2.99 in HomeBargains for a big 600ml bottle.

@SoapCollector Brilliant - I'll pick some up and wallow in some late-Eighties, swishy-haired nostalgia!

Thanks

Revlon Flex shampoo was discontinued in 2002. But Google search shows that it is back.
Is Revlon Flex shampoo really Back?

It was not discontinued in some countries. I have always been and still can get all the Flex products.

Nice
Do you buy Flex products from Amazon or from their official website?

The prices upthread are ridiculous.

Here is the proper price.... About 2 pounds

Try the SA shop.

You can buy this version of flex in home bargains but it’s not the original formula or scent that everyone recalls, unfortunately. I think the round bottle as seen on Amazon, eBay etc may be the original. I’m guessing it is imported hence the price and delivery time 🤷‍♀️

Yes! I can almost smell it now! My mum used to buy it and I used it when I had a perm, think it did make it a bit greasy too.

I was just googling reviews on the Revlon flex and found this old thread... the reason was I have just come across Flex at my discount store here in NZ ...and I was like I remember this stuff!! Was this like from the 70's! I remember all the older girls used it... and it smelt good and their hair was amazing. So I had to buy some to try ... I have washed my hair twice now and its so so good in my hair!!! Going back today to stock up!! I have been buying solon expensive bottles for ages now at around $60 a pop .. Flex is 2 for $12.00 here and its feels even better than the expensive brands I have been buying, so happy
