Question(s) For the Day

I want to purchase some shampoo and conditioner for myself for my birthday (extravagant, I know). I would love to try something that I've never tried before, so tell me:

What brand shampoo/conditioner do you generally use? Do you purchase it based on price? scent? eco-friendly? it's all you've ever known? If price didn't matter, would you choose something different?

Eco friendly. Hahahahahaha. :)

I use Suave Sleek and Smooth because I have wavy hair that likes to frizz all over the place. I have been using it for about a year and really like it. Then I also have the regular, plain scented suave in whatever scent I feel like buying that day to rotate with it because that is better for your hair I guess. I use suave because it is cheap and I am poor but I am not sure if I would change it up if I suddenly found myself with money. haha.

Biolage. I LOVE it!

I like the AG brand, but I rarely buy it as it's only available in salons and with 3 kids I just don't get to the salon too often anymore. I remember one of the shampoos or conditioners had a kiwi scent. Mmm...heavenly...

Brooke said...

If price isn't an issue, I would buy biolage. However, I usually buy fructis at Sams Club. I like the amount for the value. Last time they didn't have fructis, so I bought pantene and have liked that very much, also.

I use Herbal Essences or suave professionals. I base my decisions on price and what it will do for my hair.

When I'm not restricted by a budget, I totally buy based on scent. I would go to Sally's Beauty Supply (so it's all "salon quality" and just sniff out my favorite.) I don't understand why perfume companies don't make shampoo! I've thought that for years, I should really patent that idea or whatever would need to be done so that I could make lots of money and afford things like fancy shampoo.

I love the purple Purology it is pricy, and I am thinking of going diff with like a redken kind of tan bottle

The best, best shampoo/cond has no sulphates in it. Sulphates make lather, but they also strip the hair and cause dryness and frizz. The best no-poo (meaning no lather) stuff out there is DevaCurl and Carol's Daughter. Carol's you have to order online, but DevaCurl you can get at Ulta. Your hair will totally change when you get rid of the sulphates!

I buy, based on the fact that I color my hair. I purchase Biolage (for color treated hair). Beyond the color care needs, I go for smell! It's all about yummy smells!

Christine said...

I use garnier fructis. I use it because it works good, makes my hair smooth and untangly. If I could spend more money I would probably buy pantene.

When I'm being "cheap" I go for Herbal Essenses (the blue kind) because of smell and it's the best kind for my long, thick hair that WORKS. If I splurge, I love Matrix Sleek Stuff...LOOOOOOOOOVE that!!!

Mane and Tail Shampoo

For conditioner I use the Mane and Tail + Aussie 3 Minute Miracle.

Then after that I do an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse. (I can't live without it!)

Cynthia said...

I recently started using Tresme (I use the kind for curly hair) and I am liking it...before that it was Fructise. But when I was single and had money, I loved Biolage (it really smells yummy). Also, if you have dry hair the Aussie 3 minute miracle is great.

I usually go for the Matrix smoothing shampoo. But recently I have found that Suave has a smoothing brand (they deceptively make it look just like Matrix's) that works just as well and only costs like 2 dollars a bottle.

Lara Neves said...

It's the Matrix sleek line...not smoothing. The Suave is smoothing (I think) and I guess I can't be bothered to get up and check...

Adrienne said...

I never believed in using Salon shampoo but I recently got a good deal on Paul Mitchel smoothing (cause I have course wavy hair) and I can't believe how amazing it is!! I don't think I'll be able to go back. Before that I have used Pantene and Garnier Fructis.

I am a professional line shampoo snob, cause, well I have very unruly frizzy curly hair and my sis is a hair stylist:) I am in LOVE with JOICO k-pak and Yes there is a HUGE difference from drugstore shampoo.

Malachi and Layne said...

I have my favorite Salon Products (Bed head or Redkin)I Do NOT like Biolage...every time I used it I got flaky skin on my scalp! Thats attractive!
Alas I am poor therefore I use Whatever I have a coupon for at costco....Normaly Dove or Pantene.
By the way, Purology is fabulos but if I bought it I would have to go without eating that month!$$$$

I'm a Suave girl but that's because of the price. It doesn't usually matter to me what I use as long as my hair doesn't stink.

Sher said...

I use Suave. Always. I've been teased and tormented about it, too, but my take is why pay $20, when the $3 stuff works just as well?
I've used the Matrix (for curly hair) stuff, and it's nice, but the Suave Professionals is pretty much the same.

I do go more expensive on styling products though.

I buy Melaleuca's shampoo. It may seem expensive, but it lasts a long time, and a little goes a long way.
