Question... Need advice.

Have very fine color treated hair. I wear it in a short Bob. Has anyone ever tried mixing a little conditioner with a regular amount of shampoo to cleanse ? Whenever I use conditioner separately, even just on the ends, my hair gets so soft it won't hold a style even with styling products.

I have a similar problem, but my hair is not thin; it has good body, but it is so soft. I love the color (I quit coloring it a year ago.) and it is a natural white as snow. I'm 72, so the color made me look even older.

My stylist suggested I use very mild shampoo and just a dollop of rinse on the bottom only. Then rinse out quickly. I have been doing this and have no split ends, have the soft bob style and use only a flat iron to style.

Creme rinse weighs down hair so put just enough to get it untangled.

Good luck.

You can mix the two or try a 2 in 1 product that combines shampoo & conditioner. I also have fine hair. I use a little mousse before blow drying.

Maybe you don't need a conditioner.

My hair is thick on my head, but the strands are fine. Does that make sense? I don't color it either. I quit using conditioner decades ago because it always made my hair floppy and flat. I realize every woman's hair is different, but have you tried going without conditioner?

I have fine color-treated curly hair. Hair cut is a few long layers for my curls.

I just started using Tweak-d (HSN) and from Sally's BTZ Beach Head Seaside Smooth for stellar smooth strands. I am loving the results!!

I've only used both twice so far. I can't remember the last time I really liked my hair after at home shampooing.

My hair is baby fine (not color treated, letting my gray grow out) and cut in a short bob. I use Paul Mitchell's Extra Body Daily Rinse. It is a very light conditioner which detangles my hair and doesn't leave it weighed down. You can get a small 3.4 oz bottle at Ulta to try.
