QuoteReplyTopic: Your favorite shampoos?! Posted: January 21 2005 at 8:12pm
I dont really use alot of shampoo im African American and alot of people i know are into a "no poo" thing we they only use conditionor my favorite is pantene daily moisture renewal, or garnier 3 min masque
I also like the pantene women of color conditionor
I use Shwarzkopf Supersoft shampoo with conditioner in it. its really good and your hair is so soft and shiny when you use it. i have straight hair but it is permed it makes my hair soft and shiny whatever it looks likes! I love it!
I like the TRESemme shampoos. Nice and cheap and do their job.
I've tried more expensive products like Redken, Sebastian, and Nexxus and none of them did anything more for my hair than the cheap brands do.
I avoid the VO5 line since it does the whole plastic hair feel for me. It must have the harshest ingredients known to man in there, because my hair is really resilient to drying products like bleach, colorants, etc...
Is no one going to mention Pantene's Soft&Smooth Line? By the way, I'm a guy, and I absolutely could not live without my conditioner by my side. lol. Anyway, I love Pantene's Smoothin Line. The conditioner really coats my hair and leaves it smoother so that when I straighten it, I get less damage.

I guess "plastic" is a better explanation than anything I could've come up with. It's just that most things make my hair silky, and Fructis is one of the few things I've tried that makes it feel closer to wig hair instead, so it wasn't worth using. It's fine for men to dye or straighten or whatever they like with their hair, now. There are even a lot of companies starting to market dyes especially to men, so you're definitely not the only one doing it. There's no reason to feel self-conscious :-) .
Now, wig hair, that I understand!

I bet "hard" hair is just hair that feels plastic, like barbie or doll hair. Hey dj727, lots of guys do things with their hair that is perceived as "feminine". I respect you for having the guts to come out and tell everyone. Don't be afraid to style your hair if it makes you feel good about yourself : )

I used Garnier Frutis shampoo. It made my hair feel rough and dry <<<< maybe thats what Kuroneko meant. But I dont use Garnier shampoo no more. I sometimes use Dove Intense Moisture shampoo and conditioner cuz sometimes I straighten and blow dry my hair << thats why I need Intense Moisture.
It sounds weird cuz Im 16/male. 'And your probably thinkin for a male he straightens and dyes his hair!' I sometimes straighten my hair cuz the way I style it and I have waves and curls, so I straighten them. And I only dyed my hair about 3 times cuz I needed a change.
What a boring life I have.

No fair, I've dyed my hair just about every imaginable shade and it's never done anything for dandruff :-( . I get none of the luck! I used both shampoo and normal conditioner from Fructis, but not the deep conditioner, since I don't have problems with dryness anymore. It smells nice, but made my hair feel so hard I only bothered to use it a couple of times. Most shampoos, even if they don't make my hair any fluffier, at least make it silky soft, so a shampoo that can't even do that isn't worth trying out for long. *shrugs* It's kind of lame, just "black cat". A lot of my nicknames are cat-names, because it relates to my real name, Katherine.
Hi Kuroneko..first of all, I like your real name. And, I like your user name, too. Anything, in my book, that is cat related is a good thing! But, anyway, when you say that Garnier makes your hair feel "hard", what exactly do you mean? You said that you don't have problems with dryness anymore, so I don't know what you mean by hard. Thanks!

Some people don't react well to salicylic acid or whichever anti-inflammatory they put into Head and Shoulders. Dandruff shampoos usually contain some sort of medicated ingredient to control the flaking. Head and Shoulders also contains a very harsh cleanser... sorry I keep stressing this cleanser thing... It's a big issue.
LoL. It's True. But ya know, Im a 16/male. I just dyed my hair, and hair dye kills dandruff < cool.
That's funny! Well, he doesn't dye his hair. I think that head and shoulders is probably putting some "secret" ingredient in the shampoo so you feel that you have to buy some more to cure the dandruff. But, he changed to another brand (not sure which one) and it went away.

I used Garnier Frutis shampoo, and it made my feel like straw and it made my hair dry and itchy. I didnt like it. I had dandruff a couple months ago, so I used Head and Shoudlers <<< that gave me more dandruff than I already had! So I switched to Dove Intense Moisture shampoo and conditioner << good stuff! It got rid of the dandruff I used to have! :) I use so many shampoo's and conditioner's, including TRESemme, Dove, Super Straight Hair shampoo.
Anyone ever use Super Straight Hair shampoo?? I bought that at the Dollar Store last year, and Im finally using it! It works though!
Thnx for all the reply's to my thread! Keep 'em coming...lol.
That's funny about what you said about the head and shoulders. My husband said the same thing when he used it!
