What type of Shampoo/Cond do you use?

[Karren]

I use L'oreal Vive Pro shampoo for colored hair and Vive Pro creame rinse.. Works good and makes my hair color last longer..

 

[StereoXGirl]

When I can afford it, I use Matrix Sleek.Look shampoo and conditioner. When I can't afford that, I use Aussie products.

For styling, I use Chi products. These last me a lot longer than shampoo and conditioner do, so I can afford to buy these every once and awhile when I run out.

Kinda embarrassing, but Selsum Blue island breeze and the conditioner that comes in a pack of 2 at costco or whatever is on sale. I have way too much hair (both in length and thickness) to use anything costly because it will literally be gone in 2-3 uses even if I use sparingly. I also have this bad flaking problem. Otherwise, it's pretty healthy and shiny for hair that's so long and been through so much. =P

I switch between Biolage hydrating, Deva Curl low poo, and Alterna cavier volumizing. I'm trying to embrace the no sulfate thing but I'm not sure it's doing the job.

Try any of the shampoo's from Kenra....they are all sulfate free and leave the hair feeling super clean and moisturized!

What's better Redken or Pureology?

I dont know how to just quote part of the response

lol

Anyway, about the re-vamped Kenra Platinum line....I dont know if you noticed, but they recently added an actual rinse out conditioner to their 'fine/thin' line, before the package change they only had a leave - in for fine hair....what you can try is using the Kenra Platinum shampoo for fine hair, and go with the Conditioner for normal - medium hair (it contains shea butter and mango...so softness here you come!)

I wouldn't suggest going with the original Kenra Colour Maintanence shampoo/conditioner...it's not specific to a hair type so it tends to be quite heavy...we can blame that on the cocnut oil!

LOL Oh man, I could go on for hours....this is what I do for a living...I educate salons and their staff on the different professional lines out there!

 

[purples]

I am using Kerastase right now! Fantastic products!

I change all the time, and whenever we get new prod's I must try it!

 

[Leylani]

I use products from L`Oreal professionnel experte, Matrix, KMS California and John Frieda. And i alternate them, as some got more silicone than the others. I also use a claryfing shampoo from Vidal sassoon ocationally, diluted with water.

 

[purpleRain]

I am using Herbal essences Hello Hydration and I am liking it.

 

[Leylani]

HairEgo, Goldwell is next on my list of hairproducts to try. My hair is highlighted, so im going try the line directed to this. And the Kerasilk ultra rich treatment.

Let me know what you think once you get it!

Curly hair is a lot dryer then straight/wavy hair...think about it this way....straight hair is a straight line...the moisture/vitamins can travel straight from the bottom to the top....curly hair however, is not a straight line....it has all these curves and loops....so often times the moisture/vitamins cannot travel the full length of the hair as it has so many obsticles to over come.Have you tried Abba Pure products before? Pureology and Abba used to be the same company but eventually spilt. Abba Pure is awesome for curly hair, when I used to work with this brand I would recomend it a lot to my clients with ethnic hair. I'm not sure what you look like so just a fact I thought id throw in there.

If you have a difficult time finding the Abba line, alternatively you can use Redken All soft shampoo and conditioner (softens the moisturises the hair with avacado oil), or Joico Moisture Recovery (contains human hair keratin and bio marine nutrients)

Goodluck!

 

[Fataliya]

I just use Suave. I have short hair, so it really doesn't matter.

 

[J-Katt]

I use Matrix Sleek Look both shampoo and conditioner. I also use Aquage silk/smooth shampoo and conditioner once a week, otherwise my hair gets too flat.

 

[racquel]

I use a bunch of stuff. I like Clairol Dangerously Straight 2-in-1, Garnier conditioner, Suave Humectant conditioner, Nizoral shampoo, Selsun Blue Moisturizing shampoo, Pantene clarifying shampoo, Pantene Fortifying conditioner, Garnier leave-in, and Nexxus Humectress Luxe leave-in spray.

I would think if you work around salons you would know people generally get good commissions for selling products because the markup on salon products is so ridiculously high. I'm sure most of them use better ingredients, but it can't possibly be enough to justify the price.
I really like $1.99 Suave Humectress conditioner. Maybe it's not as good as the $19.99 Nexxus conditioner it's trying to copy, but it works really well for me so I'm certainly not paying 10X as much for something else. If you can have good hair with cheap stuff what do you gain from buying expensive stuff?
