For a few years now I pretty much been using salon brands exclusively for drugstore brands would leave my hair dry and breakage I usually stock up during the beautybrands sale. I thought I would give regular brands a try so I tried Dove repair, Tresemme Platinum Strong both left my hair dry and stiff then I tried Pantene Beautiful lengths and Garnier Damage Eraser which was better than the first two but still my hair got overly dry as the day progressed
I was at walmart and noticed Suave had a Paul Mitchell SuperStrong "dupe" called Split End Rescue And since the shampoo and conditioner was under $5 all together for a big bottle I picked it up and tried it today. I am very surprised that my hair came out very good. Not as good as my salon brands but 10x better than the garnier and pantene I tried. its hours later and my ends are not dry. I also noticed Suave now has a Nexxus and Pureology dupe but i do not remember the names.
So if you want to to try something good at a drugstore cost or can no longer afford your salon brands I would recommend this.
Someone once made a comment on the boards that I look down on people that use drugstore brands. That is not so. I highly promote salon stuff for they work better for me. I am 100% supportive of what ever works.

Suave makes excellent shampoos & conditioners. I love the macadamia nut formula.

Most of the time, when u buy expensive brands of products --- the price is high due to their endless advertising (commercials, print, etc) or packaging. I buy all my make-up and hair products from Walmart or Costco. So simple!!!!!

It's great that you found something that works for you. Personally, I only use name brand drug store brands and Avon. I particularly like Dove products. I'm not knocking the expensive, elite products. I just don't think they are any more effective than less expensive brands.

I am the opposite, lol the big salon brands always outperformed drugstore, for me at least. I love my salon brands. lol AVON is good. its been ages since i tried AVON shampoos but they are surprisingly good

I just used L'Oreal Everpure, their sulfate-free line and my hair is like straw.
The Herbal Essences Color Me Happy CC finally came to a store near me. Loved it the first time, WOW, after swimming in salt water, I used the HE CC and my hair looked and felt incredible. Second time, I got oily very quickly and frizzy.
The only line that really worked well was the Coppola sulfate-free for post-Keratin treatments. Very watery consistency.
