Can we talk about...

Hair?

What brand of shampoo/conditioner do you ladies use? I have been using Nexxus and it's not doing a thing for me. For some reason over the last 6 months my hair has gotten oilier, and it is just a pain to maintain. I can't find a balance between dry and oily, and it is flat as can be. No more bounce

 What type of hair do you have? What have you found works best to maintain it?

I use RedKen Color Extend & love it. I also use a clarifying shampoo once a week, I find that really helps keep the shine and texture that I like.

I have a lot of thin hair that can be oily or dry depending on the weather.

I use pureology shampoo and conditioner, in the green bottles, it smells very spa like and love what it does for my hair, keeps it healthy/shiny

I have very very straight thin, long hair. Just recently I have had the probelm with my hair getting oily, due to me going brunette. I was very very blonde, which obviously getting it highlighted made my hair very dry.

Right now I use herbal essence, I find changing it up every couple months helps me. However I do like Aveda products but they are super $$

Ooh, I'll chime in on this one because I LOVE my brand.  Aussie, Moist.  Hands down, THE best shampoo and conditioner I have ever used and you can buy it in bulk at Costco or BJ's (northeast).

I like Aussie and Garnier. I switch back and forth between the two. I also use Aloe Rid by Nexxus about once a week to prevent build up.

I have dry hair.  I use several different kinds that I buy at Target or Walmart.  Nothing fancy but I rotate between Herbal Essences, Pantene and Nexxus.

I like Aveda and Bumble and Bumble.  Have you tried dry shampoo?  It's awesome.  Try Psssssst! brand.  not expensive and never clogs.  Perfect for inbetween shampoos (i only shampoo every 2-3 days) or end of day greasies.

I need to try Redken. I have heard good things about it and I think it costs about the same as Nexxus!

I started taking fish oil supplement and my hair is like a freakin models now.

I only use Suave  daily clarifying shampoo now, I don't even need conditioner anymore.  And I've got super long, thick, curly hair.  I used to have to use conditioner and leave in conditioner.

Definitely add the fish oil whatever you do.  It'll help your hair and skin, plus its super great once you're pg too.

I used this before Nexxus and loved it! Then after awhile it stopped working with my hair, I think that's when I started noticing it getting oily. I love Aussie though, I wish I could use it again! It smells amazing!

I go between dove and pantene

I have curly, but fine hair.. I straighten it almost every day tho. you probably need to use a different shampoo for a little while.. try pantene. it is really good..

I've been using the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Liquid Shine shampoo and conditioner, and I LOVE IT! I cannot tell you the difference this has made on my hair.

I am currently using Herbal Essence .. but I buy something new every time...

I just started using dove and I really like it

I try to switch it up every now and then, but lately, I've been switching between Garnier and Tresseme (sp).  I have fine, straight hair.

I use Biolage (Hydratherape sp?) but I have really thick, coarse hair, and it makes it not so dry. But I use Pantene Ice Shine a couple times a week too, because I get pretty oily too, hard to explain, but my hair is dry in the morning, and by bed time it's so oily, its gross. So far this regimen seems to work.

I have super straight long hair, it's fine but there is a ton of it! It lays completly flat because it's so heavy. I got a perm (eeek), which gave it ZERO curl but added some body now it holds somewhat of a curl when I use an iron or rollers.

It was pricey because my hair is so long but I'm happy I did it because it doesn't just hang on my head like it used to and I can actually do some styling now.

Anyways, Paul Mitchells Extra Body line has been fabulous!! My stylist warned me away from grocery lines like Pantene. She said they actually contain chemicals strong enough to strip a floor. The chemical build up was washing my color out and weighing my hair down even more. I was told this by two hair dressers at different salons, if anyone is a stylist and knows elsewise I'd like to hear!

I use the Lush bar shampoo. I don't know the name, but it's the one with the Jasmine scent.  For conditioner I use Nature's Gate Henna, which brings out the highlights nicely in my blonde hair.

My hair is fine, but thick (have a lot of it) and breaks and drys easily.  These two products have been my lifesaver for the past 6 months.  The shampoo bars are nice because they last forever.

I have thin, oily, and curly hair. I avoid products that have parabens, sulfates, and alcohols to avoid adding chemicals to my body.

 I've found that Gianni hair products work best for me (available at Whole Foods).

I also use Lush shampoo bar, but i use the soak and float. the smell is not the best, but i have extreme dandruff and that is the only thing that as helped. i have tried tar shampoos, selsun blue, head and shoulders everything. lush is amazing!
