Recommend your all-time favorites (hair care)!

[FilleDeVanille]

I thought it'd be fun to see what kind of products you LOVE and would recommend to others, so we can inspire each other and share experiences - so I'd like to know which products you like best (of the ones you tried so far) in the following categories:

- Shampoo

- Conditioner

- Leave-in conditioner

- Treatment

- Styling

- Heat protector

- Finishing

(Add more categories yourself if needed).

Oh, and it would be ideal if you informed us about hairtype as well!

Here are my answers:

Shampoo: Kérastase Bain Satin 3 and Redken All Soft.

Conditioner: Kérastase Lait Vital and Kevin Murphy Luxury.Rinse.

Leave-in conditioner: Kevin Murphy Leave-in.Luxury and Alterna Split Ends Reconstructor.

Treatment: Philip Kingsley Elasticizer and Redken Butter Treatment.

Styling: I have no favorite - I'm still looking.

Heatprotector: I have no favorite - I'm using Redken Heat Glide now, but it's not ... genious - just average. I ordered Kérastase Ciment Thermique and I can't wait to try it out.

Finishing: Kérastase Serum Nutrisculpt - and I'm looking for a better shinespray than my Paul Mitchell.

I have long, very dry, frizzy, unruly hair btw.

Your turn!

I really like pantene shampoo and conditioner. At the moment I'm using their volumizing one, but I find that I have to change around a lot to stop a product getting less effective.

As for styling, I'm still looking, it's so hard to find good products.. my hair is very soft and fine and I guess it is easily weighed down by heavy products.

I don't know a lot about hair so I rarely blowdry it, so I don't really use a heat product or a finishing product.

I don't have any favorites at the moment, I am too fickle!

i keep trying to find new products, but nothing i've tried in the last couple months has made any difference. so, these are the products that i always come back to, my hgs!

- Shampoo - naturally peppermint

- Conditioner - pantene for woc/burts bee sugarbeet & grapefruit

- Deep conditioner - queen helene cholesterol

- Treatment - n/a

- Styling - naturally chamomile moisturizer/john frieda silicone gel

- Heat protector - n/a

- Finishing - john frieda secret weapon/ors olive oil polisher

Here is their site. Welcome to PureOlogy you can click on a product and it wil tell you what the ingredients are. I'm not sure all i know is it makes my hair soft...my hairdresser got me hooked on it after she hilighted my hair she used ot and shes likefeel your hair and it was so soft even after the bleaching. I think its best for color treated hair...
