Help finding shampoo and conditioner

Mishell5 — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 00:13:23 GMT

My daughter and I are dealing with dry hair lately. I'm 61 and she is 30, and for some reason we are just not getting good results with any shampoo and conditioner lately. She has long, curly hair and my hair is just all over the place. It used to be straight, but menopause had it's own ideas about making it wavy, dry, whatever. I would really appreciate any recommendations for hair products ...shampoo, conditioner... to deal with dry hair without weighing it down. TIA.

Shea Moisture at WalGreens. THeir shampoos, conditioners and treatments are very moisturizing and smell great!

try washing just the scalp - but with very little shampoo- and that will help with the dryness of your hair. as far as conditioner goes, i just use an inexpensive brand. I think the after-product is more impt and spend my $ on that.

I have thick wavy hair. I've always been a hair product snob. :-) However, about 2 months ago, on a whim, I purchased the Loreal Advanced Haircare Power Moisture shampoo and conditioner. I'm still using it and loving it. I can hardly believe it's a drugstore product.

If you have a beautybrands in your area they are having a sale. the hempz herbal vanilla plum is very moisterizing. you will also love nexxus phyto organics extreme moisture from drugstore.com worth the money

I have used Wen for over 2 yrs now and just starting using Redkin this week & my hair has never looked better! It's expensive though. The Shampoo was $15 and conditioner was $18.

I like redken as well. I rarely had a bad experience with redken.

Thanks to all of you. I am going to look into everything. We really, really need to do something!

As far as Redken, I remember using Amino Pon many years ago. I know they have great products.

Isn't that less expensive than Wen? Do you have to use as much?

A 32oz bottle of shampoo/conditioner is as much as wen but lasts probably 20 times longer.

Indeed! Shea Moisture or Carol's Daughter. I used to have 30+ shampoos & conditioners in my arsenal. When I started using SM and CD, I threw away everything else. That's how good they are. No parabens, no sulfates.

L'anza has plenty of sulfate free products- they carry a wonderful moisturizing formula.

So does AG Hair Cosmetics with several different products to suit your hair type. You might look around at Ulta. Many of the shampoos loaded with sulfates are now reformulated to be sulfate free..

Even Redken has sulfate free formulas which look good!

And I think Ulta is having their liter sale beginning in a few days.

Forgive me if you said.. Which Redken formula did you start using?

Many have been reformulated for the better.. a few are being scrutinized & condemned for reformulating their popular formulas, too. I think All Soft was one that people were angry about, saying it's not nearly as good.

I love their Cleansing Cream for a good clarifying product. It's not drying, yet really removes hair and scalp of gunky build-up.

If you're dealing with dry hair, you might want to steer clear of sulfate-free shampoos. Those turn my hair to straw and when I asked my dermatologist about it, she confirmed that sulfate-free does that to many, not just me. I've used Redken Color Extend for years -- (Beauty Brands is having their liter sale now - #12.99 per liter of any Redken shampoos/conditioners) ... and recently discovered Suave Moroccan Infusion Color Care shampoo and conditioner. Both are terrific -- leave my hair shiny, frizz-free, bouncy and happy every day. (By the way, if color isn't an issue for you, both Redken and Suave have moisturizing versions of their products that may be a good bet for you.)

I tried Traditions Yucca shampoo and condition by Nick Chavez. It worked really well for my hair in terms of locking in moisture and didn't weigh my hair down at all.

Philosophy's Shear Splendor shampoo and conditioner are excellent. I'm so glad they brought them back!

Carol's Daughter Monoi collection. Plus her Lisa's scalp & hair treatment.

Also been using COSCO's Kirkland shampoo & conditioner.

I too have wavy, thick, course hair-that literally turns into a frizzy Cha-pet during the summer months. I have used the Kirkland shampoo twice-and I am really surprised how soft and less frizz my hair is.

All 3 products have helped my hair the pass 3 weeks-in this awful humid weather.

The Kirkland is $10.00 for each 33.8 oz bottle of Shampoo & conditioner.

Carol's Daughter I get from HSN-and they usually have free shipping plus easy pay.

Biolage- Fiber Strong and Keratindose

P.s It could be your blow dryer that is drying out your hair. I got a new one and I couldn't believe the difference in the texture of my hair.
