What does everyone use for shampoo/conditioner?
I use Pantene ProV, and sometimes Head & Shoulders in the winter when my scalp gets too dry, and sometimes in the summer cause it smells SO good.
I tried going natural with my shampoos, but my hair never looks half as good when I do that. I used Aveda etc...never worked.
I just now found a good combo for my hair....
I use this shampoo--it is SUPER cheap but does a GREAT job
(http://www.rxzone.us/images/products/med/861229.jpg)
And this conditioner (which is AWESOME!) (its the only pic I could find....but it is the Infusium 23 (moistur)ologie
(http://www.infusium.com/us/conversion/images/bottles_moisturologie.jpg)
right now, I use dove. It does really well on my hair.
I've also just recently started using the Infusium Moisturologie, love it! :thumbsup2:
I have dry frizzy hair that has a slight natural curl to it. It's great to be able to just let it dry or scrunch while blow drying and not have to use products that leave my hair looking wet and stiff (I usually just use a leave-in conditioner when I blow-dry my hair) and get a decent curl. But I would rather have the smooth soft texture of straight hair and keep my curls (yeah, I want my cake and eat it too :grin: ) Living in Florida with an average humidity of 90% doesn't help, so I'm always trying to find products that are heavy in moisturizers. :roll:
I have tried expensive Paul Mitchell products (one conditioner I tried was a small bottle and cost over $20 at WalMart), I've tried the semi-expensive Sammy products and was very happy with them (all of the Sammy products smell good to me), but right now I've been just as happy with the Infusium (I use the Moisturologie shampoo and conditioner). :great:
I'll have to see if I can find the Suave sleek and try that. :grin:
my hair isn't as picky about shampoo as it is conditioner.
So I spend $3.50 on a huge bottle of the sleek stuff and then $9 on the huge bottle of the infusium
I do like Dove....but after a while it leaves my hair feeling funny
I change it up every month or so.
I use Tresemme Deep Moisturizing Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Length and Strength Conditioner. It's made my hair so soft and shiny without making it too silky to do anything with! I love it!

Sad...I hate to hear that Aveda doesn't work on people. :(
I've used Aveda for a couple of years now and it has been a miracle worker. Without prattling on and sounding like a TV (er...radio) commercial, I'll just say that Aveda is a life saver. Smile.
I use L'Oreal volumizing shampoo/conditioner for fine hair. I have medium thick hair, but the texture is fine. So far, this seems to work best for my hair. I can't use deep moisturizing conditioner because it really weighs my hair down.
For styling, I use a small amount of ThermaSilk volumizing gel and finish with Garnier Fructis Purefix hair spray.
Right now I'm using an olive oil shampoo and conditioner from design line. It worked beautifully on my hair when I began using it, but now it's making the top of my hair seem oily, while the ends are on the dry side. As soon as this bottle is out, I'm switching to something else. ;)

I wish I could use it...I love the way it smells. Last time I used it it left my hair really dry and yucky feeling...but it's been a while, so I might try it again. I use some of Aveda's other products, like the light elements smoothing fluid (it's a lifesaver in the winter!).
I use the Green Bottle of SunSilk for Curly hair. It is awesome and when that doesn't work, I use Frizz Ease shampoo and conditioner for Curly hair.. With the Frizz Ease Shampoo and Conditioner, Frizz Ease Leave in Oil stuff. With the SunSilk I use the 24/7 cream that goes with it. I also at times use VO5 leave in stuff for Frizz or Curly hair. I have natural curly, Frizzy hair....

My hair is the same texture as yours, but from what I've seen of pics yours is more curly than mine. I love the Frizz Ease products also. :thumbsup2:
I've never seen SunSilk. Anyone know where we can buy that stateside?

Really? Maybe I just haven't been looking. I'll have to do this :o next time I go in. :biglaugh:
Mmhmm, there are about 89758734 different colors for all the different kinds. It gets very distracting trying to find your shampoo and seeing all those neon colors... :biglaugh:

Thanks girl! That gives me a great excuse for missing it. :laughhard:
Hehe..glad I could help. :laughhard:
Right now I'm using Biosilk shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in. I love it. Sometimes, if I'm in a hurry, I can just use the shampoo, and my hair still has that nourished feel, even without conditioner. It's sort of pricey, especially the leave-in ($30 for a big bottle), but a bottle of leave-in lasts a long time.
I'll also switch up sometimes and use Biolage (whatever the purple color is...ultramoisture, I think) or Fructis long and strong.
i use garnier anti itch shampoo and length and strength conditioner. i break out in psoriasis on my scalp from time to time and the anti-itch keeps the ithchy bearable.

I tried the green bottle of SunSilk.... it's making my hair more frizzy than ever. I even bought the cream. The cream does help, but it makes my hair feel more weighed down. That why I like the Frizz Ease leave-in spray conditioner, it leaves my hair feeling more natural.
I've also used that Biosilk leave-in. If I use it for too long, it makes my hair oily. If I only use it once a week, it does great. :thumbsup2: And yes it does last a long time, I've had my bottle now for about a year.
I'm using this set now:
(http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/87/86/pr-Shampoo-Back_to_Basics_Basic_Texture_Get_Curly_Curl_Enhancing_Shampoo-resized200.jpg)
It's 'Back to Basics Get Curly' shampoo and conditioner. So far I like it - my hair is silky but not oily, it's cut down on the frizz and defined my curls, and it smells simple and clean.
I got mine at a drugstore going out of business for a few dollars, but I think you can get it online or in salons?
Main N tail, but I am beginning not to like it right now because my hair is getting real oily from it. I have really thick hair that is down goes down my butt, the main n tail lathers it up really well, but then a day later it is so oily.
for shampoo I use Chargrin Valley handmade shampoo bars, right now I'm using thier Herb Garden bar, and although technically you don't need a conditioner with the shampoo bars, I use Jason Jojoba Conditioner. My hair is doing so great!!! I hardly have splits and it is nice and shiny :grin: ... I also rinse my hair with diluted apple cider vinager, I tend to get dandruff and the stuff helps :thumbsup2:
herbal Essence
Hydration, Coconut Milk
Or Infusium 23 Frizzology
and the Frizzology leave in conditioner
some hair care product, Advance Techniques Styling gel, Perfectly Smooth Flat Iron Lotion. It's great to put in damp hair, and let air dry. Then style after, the hair smells great.
When dry, Tresemme Smooth No Frizz Ultra Light Shine Spray. Great to get the shine and nice and soft hair!

That smells good!
Sometimes, I use Pantene Classic Clean, Matrix Amplify and Herbal Essence Body Envy shampoos and conditioners (I rotate all of those on different days).
For styling, I use Garnier Fructis Pure hairspray.

all the girls up here use Mane N Tail... it makes your hair GROOOOW....
- I however, Use Infusium 23
I don't use mane and tail, and I'm up here! ;) :P
I switch, so whatever I used when I posted here last time probably isn't the same one I'm using now. I hate what I've got - it's something organic and expensive, but it doesn't smell nice and doesn't give me shiny, pretty hair. :smirk2:

lol, Technicly, I mean up here, your up there... :p but your still here...
I like to use a combination.
For two weeks I will use Mane N Tail, then for two weeks I will use Infusium. Mane N Tail makes my hair grow, but leaves it dry. Infusium 23 (R)epair brings the health back into my hair and then I can let it grow again. When I'm running short on cash, I get the...um I think it's Vo5 silky kind. it's in a tall clear bottle and it's light purple. If it's not Vo5, then it's Suave.
I was using Main N Tail, but I got to noticing a 'gunk' ring building up in my tub. I dont know if it was me or the conditioner. haha
I have very long, thick, greasy on top, really dry on the ends, split, damage from years of bleach, hair that tangles and knots with every move. It has gotten so long, that if I wear my hair down, it just gets matted. When I wash my hair, If I dont use a type of Smooth and Sleek conditioner, there is absolutely NO way on earth that I will get it combed or smoothed out.
I have been using sleek and smooth pantene. But sometimes the stuff is so expensive that I have to get the suave smooth and sleek sometimes. It works as good, but have to use alot more of it to get the same result.
The absolute BEST thing I have used on my hair,
Is this little blue tube of Nice & Easy conditioning gloss you can buy at walmart now. You can buy it separate now without buying the hair color kit. But I only use it when I have something special to go to because that little tube is expensive.

i know what would be perfect for you, and you would love it... Avon makes it, if you can find someone that sells avon its called 'Dry Ends Serum' - its like 3 dollars or something, and go ahead and get the 'extra strength' also... Its really good.... you'll not have any more split ends, and it will feel like your hair has come back to life...
Another thing you will love is Aussie dual personality shampoo and conditioner.
Cleanse and Mend--its for greasy roots and dry ends--AWESOME stuff!
I had been using the fructis length and strength, but now I am using Finesse (it's a few dollars cheaper :) ). It really helps to keep the tangles out of my hair.
I have tried the dry ends serum from Avon. Its okay I guess, it just feels like silicone on my fingers, but I have a WHOLE LOT of hair, so I would have to use it in big gobbs. haha I do like the "feelin fresh" roll on deodorant from Avon.
This is really really gross, but somebody told me about SOMETHING you can buy at a beauty supply store in a plastic capsule you could use on you hair that had small amounts of 'afterbirth' from animals. And claimed that did wonders for your hair. I cant remember what it was, but... YUCK.
I think is it called Hask Henna 'n' Placenta Hair Mask. Has anybody used this stuff?
Also on other conditioners you buy, I look to see if it contains Oriteun or Hydrolyzed collagen, which are some names they sneak it in under. They think many consumers dont have any idea what this stuff is. Epinephrine is also another thing that I have found on labels which is a hormone from the adrenal glands of hogs, cattle, and sheep . Have a nice shower! hahaha YUCK!!
If it doesnt specify that it is Bovine (cow) Collagen, or some other type of animal, then it could be collagen form aborted fetuses.
*shudder*
I have been checking my shampoo since 1994 when I found that out.
HAHA! I guess I killed this thread, It was going great till I mentioned that, now nobody post anything except me and Melody. :laughhard: :laughhard:

at the current moment i'm using Herbal Essence Love it Long .. (red bottle) seems to be doing ok....
but i switch every time i run out of shampoo/conditioner..
I switch every time i wash my hair. I have 4 or so different ones in there that i use whenever it strikes my fancy to do so... :grin: I usually decide by what i want to smell like... :lol: seriously!
i love the new herbal essence ones
I got Organix this time. Pomegranate and green tea, I think. It smells great, but I don't know yet how it works. It's in the red circle bottle.

I need to remember this...
I've been using Pert Plus but I also like Panteen for dry hair.
teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeej!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
long time no seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah for real teej!
Oh my gosh....the old possum lady actually posted.......
I don't remember what the product is called, but it has no sodium laureth sulfate or sulfides or harmful stuff like that in it, it's all natural, cheap, environmentally friendly and works a treat :grin:
i use a blonde shampoo and conditioner and it's made my hair wonderfully nice. i also use a lemon juice rinse about once a month.
the lemon juice strips off the old conditioner or shampoo and makes it shiney and silky. i don't have much hair so i have to work at it to make it nice. it's something i learned from my grandma. she was a brunette so she used vinegar for the same result.
i also like big sexy hair mousse and spray. generally not too heavy, but it gives it some body and keeps me from looking bald. that's important at my age. . . :pwink:
I'm using biolage 'so silver' which I think is made for older ladies with white hair. I'm pretty sure. :biglaugh: It's dark purple and the lady at the salon I bought it from convinced me that my hair is ashy and should be cared for with the purple goo to keep it from looking dull or brassy.
I don't know yet how I like it, but it's pretty weird to wash my hair with purple goo! ;)
I hope your hair turns white, *laughs*
you'll just look blonder with all that texas sun. and you know, dear, blondes have more fun . . . :pwink:

*grin* I do try to get enough sun (and stars) to keep my hair from becoming dull! Thankfully, my hair isn't light enough to be stained by the purple goo... But about that going gray? That's bound to happen eventually. ERIC! :P
