Favorite Shampoo and Conditioner (human)

Tell it to me! I am currently using Biolage and I am comfortable with that price range. I want something new though and I've been using the same stuff for years and years and years. I color my hair, it is naturally frizzy, dry at the ends and will get greasy if I skip one wash at the roots. I train dogs all day so it is usually in a pony but I like it to have some nice ody and smell good. I tried searching but found a ton of dog shampoos :lol-sign:

I really like Mixed Chicks products for my hair, but I have dry hair, so it might make your hair too oily??

I really like DevaCurl and Mop Top

I use Avalon Organics right now. I can only use organic shampoo and conditioner or else my head breaks out in open sores.

I really like their mint one as it makes your scalp tingle and it feels so nice and relaxing, it also smells amazing. And its at a nice price point.

I'm using John Frieda's Root Awakening. It's gentle on my bright red dyed hair. It's not Sulfate Free, but it's pretty good anyway. Way better than my Organix, which stripped my red colored hair to a clean blonde.

And it gets bonus points for being cheap.

Baking soda dissolved in warm water, with an apple cider vinegar rinse (the vinegar goes in AFTER the baking soda is totally rinsed out... lol).

If I'm feeling ambitious, I like cutting the vinegar with steeped rosemary water. It picks up the red highlights in my hair and smells really good.

This is one of my weird loves - trying new shampoos!

I currently rotate between:

Yes To Carrots Nourishing shampoo

(works amazing at taming frizz but I'm not a huge fan of the scent)

Great Clips Tea Tree Solutions shampoo

(DH's, but is great smelling and really works on itchy, dry scalps, but is not as good on frizz, though)

and Everyone Soap Citrus Mint shampoo/body wash

(good basic shampoo, decent on frizz/itchies, smells AMAZING)

I like Avalon Organics, Beauty Without Cruelty, Whole Foods 365, and a ton of others but the above seem to be working well so I'll prob stick with them for a while.

I've been using Simply U and I love it. It's sulphate and paraben free, and is not overly expensive.

I get the big bottles for around $6-7 and it lasts quite a while.

Weirdly, after trying a whole array of SLS and paraben free shampoos of varying prices, the one that works best for me and KEEPS working is one called "Simply U." I get it at evil WalMart, less than $6 for a 750 ml pump bottle. I only use the conditioner about once every three or four shampoos, sometimes just adding a squirt to the shampoo.

EDIT: Looks like we posted at the same time, Sal

I use Mixed Chicks shampoo, and Rusk Sensories Wellness Bedew Conditioner. Which I don't think they make anymore (probably why it was on clearance when I bought it lol).

I have curly frizzy hair that gets greasy within about 12 hours after being washed. But it LOVES MOISTURE. That's what I like about the Rusk conditioner, first of all it smells amazing, but it's thick and creamy and wonderfully moisturizing.

That being said - it is the products I use AFTER I wash my hair that make it or break it, so I am least picky about my shampoo/conditioner.

One thing I'm loving about the baking soda treatment is this is the first year ever, in almost thirty years, that my hair didn't instantly crackle into horribad split ends the day my dad lit the wood stove for the winter. The wood stove has been going for about a month now, and still no split ends.

I used to use baking soda for my hair.

But then I stripped it and colored it bright, bright red. I couldn't dare use baking soda now.

I used to use baking soda too and loved it....for a bit. But the several times I did it for months at a time, eventually it would stop working for me:/

I did the baking soda -- I really, really wanted it to work, but after a few weeks my hair got. . . ick. I tried several other concoctions that had worked for other people with the same results

But since I've been using SLS and paraben free shampoos (3 or 4 years now?) I haven't had any split ends and my hair has always been bad about splitting.

I might try the baking soda thing Romy - sounds really good. My hair needs it lol - after being dyed/bleached all shades of the rainbow and back to black/brown again....

When/if money isn't an object: Bumble & Bumble Creme de Coco, Seaweed, and Tonic shampoos/conditioners, Philip B Russian Amber and White truffle shampoos, and Lazartique masks and hydrating and cereal shampoos.

On a budget: Alba botanicals, John Freida, Aveeno, and Johnson & Johnson lavender baby shampoo.

My favourite is TIGI's Rockaholic shampoo and conditioner. It smells kinda like gummy bears and it does great stuff to my hair, even when I was dying it a lot and flat ironing and abusing the heck out of it. I've been trying to get it on sale and am not having any success, so this time I found TIGI's BedHead Some Like It Hot. Kind of a weird time to be using a humidity protecting shampoo but it's sulfate free so I bought it. It also smells amazing!
But I'm planning on buying more Rockaholic as soon as the hair store I buy it from online gets more of the big pumps in. I just love it.

I do the opposite - I wash it with shampoo once a week, but condition it every other day. I have washed it without conditioning it before, and it's one of the few shampoos I can do that with and still be able to make my hair manageable. I've had way less frizz, and less split ends.

I have found it at Dillon's/Kroger as well as Walmart, but Dillon's only has the small bottles.

Interesting...I've had an issue for a little while now with pimple/cyst things on my scalp, like on the lower back of my head and hairline. I wonder if that would help...I do use Lush shampoos though.

Try something with tea tree oil, even add some to your current shampoo.

Right now I'm using Kiss My Face whenever shampoo, and I'm in love with it! The first ingredient is aloe, and it makes my hair SO soft:



I have curly hair, so I only wash it about once a week with shampoo.

Right now I'm using Alba Botanica condtioner:



I'm going to try the Kiss My Face one next.

Then I use Mixed Chicks leave in conditioner, which is the most important part!
