I LOVE MY TRESEMME ANTI-BREAKAGE SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER…I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DRUG-STORE BRANDS…THE CONDITIONER LEAVES MY HAIR SO SOFT I DON’T EVEN NEED LEAVE-IN
That’s great, Paola 🙂
I have been using PANTENE for brunettes. IT is decent enough. I can tell the difference in my hair between some pro brands and some drug store brands. For me, I just like good soft hair and a good smell lol…
lol! I’m all about soft hair, too 🙂
I’m loving Abba True Curls ….
Oh, nice! I think I have an Abba product or two…
I’ve been using Color Conserve Aveda. My hair is so soft when I use them!
Nice! 😀 I’m glad it’s working so well for you, Valentina!
i use redkin body full shampoo and biologe conditioner
I think I must be the only person who uses matching shampoo and conditioner, lol!
A couple of years ago I started using Bumble and Bumbel thickening shampoo and conditioner, and I can’t even imagine trying something else 🙂 Love it, love it!
You’re making me want to try it 😛
I’ve been using D/S brands for awhile now. My favorite “salon” brand is Redken though (They d/c’d my favorite line a long time ago!). Right now, I love Aussie products for the way they smell! And their 3 Minute Miracle deep conditioner is *awesome*. I was also big on coconutty smells during the summer, and Sunsilk had a summery shampoo/conditioner out that smelled soooooooo nice. I still have a bottle of the shampoo 🙂
I’ve only switched to non-drugstore shampoo recently, but my hair never had problems with it, so who knows if I’ll go back, LOL.
I just started it using Bumble and bumble (gentle shampoo and super rich conditioner) so far so good. 🙂
Awesome, Lara!
sunsilk. it smells SOOOOO good and the conditioner is the best i’ve ever used. it breaks my heart when i have to switch when my hair starts to get used to it.
Aww 🙁 How often do you switch?
I use tigi’s brunette goddess, with kerastase masquintense for a weekly treatment.
I have back length, very thick black native hair and it works wonders!
Oh, nice! Maybe I will look into these!
haha I use fructis, which I’m sure is terrible for your hair, but my hair is always straight, tangle free, and bouncy so… it can’t be that terrible. 😀
LOL! That’s what I always said 😉
i’ve used outrageous (revlon) since i was 12 years old! smells amazing and leaves my hair ridiculously soft and shiny. every couple of weeks i’ll wash once with pantene just to mix it up.
Nice! 🙂 Glad it works so well for you JayDee!
I love the smell of that shampoo! I thought they stopped making it because i havent seen it in stores since like middle school. used to love it though. where do you buy it from?
Right now, I’m using Aussie shampoo. It smells good. I’m not too keen on conditioner, though.
I’m not picky when it comes to shampoo, but smell tends to be the biggest factor with what I choose.
Oh, yeah, can’t have anything that smells terrible!
pantene ice shine is the best!!! anyone else use that?
I hadn’t even heard of it, LOL!
I am loving Joico Moisture Recovery Shampoo and Conditioning Balm right now. I normally use Catwalk Curls Rock Shampoo and Conditioner.
Joico is a great brand for hair care!
Redken Blonde Glam Shampoo and Kerastase Anti-Ciment Usure Conditioner. I love the shampoo so far, the conditioner is overpriced and nothing special..
Oh no, that sucks 🙁
I don’t like to spend a ton of money on shampoos or conditions. I use Head and Shoulders extra strength shampoo (I have dandruff), Herbal Essence long term relationship conditioner (I also have really long hair) and Pantene Renew Mask a few times a week.
i use head and shoulders too! but i use dove moisture therapy conditioner. I used herbal essence long term relationship conditioner but it didn’t leave my hair as soft as dove does.
I might have to check out the Dove one!
I think that’s what my boyfriend uses, the Head & Shoulders one!
I just recently started using Aveda Scalp Benefits both shampoo and conditioner
I think it’s pretty great to control my oily scalp. Plus it leave my hair light and soft 🙂
I used Kerastase Volumactive and I really liked it, esp because it makes my hair soft but it’s pricy….so maybe I’ll rotate with that.
I’ve wanted to try Bumble and Bumble for a while now…and it seems like a few comments write good things about it…so perhaps that will be the next to try 😉
Ohh, very nice! I might recommend the Aveda products to my sister.
i love Ojon!!!!
Awesome! Any particular products you recommend?
CURLS-cleansing cream and the extasy asian hair tea conditioner!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Sounds like someone has their HG shampoo!
I use Bumble & bumble. It’s quite expensive but it’s awesome salon product. Love it!
I gotta try some B&B products!
paul mitchell shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair and sometimes joico intensive hair repair? its in a brownish bottle its one of those 5 mins then rinse out type things
Joico is great 🙂
I LOVE Wen cleansing conditioner for my curly hair
I just started using Wen and I love it. My hair has never been shinier and less frizzy.
That’s two for Wen!
Nice, Dee!
I only use the Color Extend Redken products since I change my hair colors every 2 months and play with funky colors all the time.
Makes sense 😉
I keep to my Clairol!! I love how they have such great smell because frankly, the smell a shampoo leaves in my hair is very very important. Their conditioner works well for my hair as well and leaves it quite soft. So yeah! Clairol all the way 😀
Shampoo definitely needs to have a good scent!
I’m using Tigi Dumb Blonde, and I need a change. I’m really tempted by the Superstar stuff from Tigi.. it smells soooo yum!
I’m all about a good smelling shampoo!
biolage color care shampoo n conditioner
and kerastase nutritive anti dry hair mask which makes my hair SUPER soft 😀 love <3
Ohhh, thanks for the recs, Karen!
Frederic Fekkai Full Volume! I love anything by FF.:)
FF! I need to try them more often!
I second the Fekkai love-I use a little bit of the Full Volume along with the glossing, and then to mix it up on occasion I will use the new CO Bigelow Mentha shampoo once a week. Before I curl my hair, I will use the Fekkai Protein stuff and then after, I have a little thing of the protein mask that I will use.
This reminds me I need to get Fekkai’s glitter hair product… hm!
I switch up my shampoo and conditioner every time I finish a bottle. Currently, I’m using Outrageous by Revlon. It’s one of the cheapest shampoos out there but works just as well as its more-expensive neighbours!
I often go back to Herbal Essences (the classic one that they discontinued) because I LOVE the smell.
It takes me foreverr to get through a bottle. How long does it take you?
I’m currently using Big Sexy Hair Shampoo and Silky Sexy Hair conditioner. <3
Do you feel like the shampoo adds volume at all?
Paul Mitchell Shampoo One and Paul Mitchell Instant Moisture Daily Treatment conditioner. I also use a leave-in conditioner when I get out of the shower called Acclaim with tea tree oil. It’s sold at Sally’s and is like $3 or something. It’s awesome for processed hair.
I’ve always heard good things about PM products!
Oops, the above should save “Proclaim,” not “Acclaim” leave-in conditioner. I just went in my bathroom and checked.
I’m using Pantene Brunette Expressions shampoo and conditioner at the moment. Love it, as it makes my hair really shiny and soft. The conditioner is really good too, as it isn’t too heavy – I sometimes find that some conditioners are too heavy for my hair. I also really like Aussie Frizz Miracle shampoo and conditioner – leaves hair soft, shiny and less frizzy!
Do you think it adds depth or brightness to your natural color, Saira?
