QuoteReplyTopic: Shampoo and Conditioner Posted: January 03 2006 at 12:29pm
Hey Happy New Year everyone!
I am planning on hopefully doing my shrinkies extensions this upcoming weekend, as long as everything arrives on time!
I was just curious if anyone could recommend a good shampoo and conditioner for my hair after I have in the extensions. I know of Pureology but I was curious if there were any other more simpler, cheaper, lol, brands that were ok to use.

Well the cheap drugstore brand shampoos have a tendencie to dry out the extensionhair aswell as your own hair. I Use the Sunsilk keratin Conditioner dough, wich is dirt cheap (25kr, that is like 3 dollars) It makes my overproccesed hair silky and smooth like a babehs^^(loads of silikone jeeh).
Hum stay away from Pantenee(LOOADS of evil evil silikone)
I would say that investing in a good brand Profesional Shampoo is well worth the money, it last longer and is kinder to you hair.
Best of luck<3

I use Garnier Fructis Fortifying Sleek & Shine shampoo, and Pantene Full &
Thick Conditioner. I also use Sauve hair gel and hairspray, and drugstore
hair silicone serum on occasion (I use some styling paste/balm from the
salon, but that's my only salon product!). Cheap, and they're the same
darn thing as the more expensive brands.
Paula Begoun has a book out about hair products, and it's great. I also
get her newsletter with product updates. I've used the $$$ stuff from
salons, and I still struggled with EXTREME hair static... I looked like a
clown. The stuff I use now really keeps my dry hair in check, cuz there's a
real lack of humidity where I live, so it's a concern at the top of my list.
I don't know if my products were the problem, but all the strands I do
lose are from my first microring install from way over a month ago. I
haven't lost a shrinkie yet. (I'm using Amm's, along with her lush hair.
^_^ )

I just went and bought Biolage shampoo and some Infusiom leave-in stuff and have Pantene deep conditioner to use (leave in for 3 minutes and rinse out). Is this pretty okay to use on extension hair?

I love the cheap stuff better than most more expensive stuff I try. I've
seen best results with the garnier sleek and smooth and pantene
conditioner. If you are going to invest in one thing, I would tell you to
make it the Biosilk smoothing gloss stuff. They now sell it at Target and
stuff too, not just salons! And it's AMAZING. More on the pricey side, but
definately worth it!

The Pantene 3 minute conditioner will be fine on your extension hair (but
avoid the roots/bonding area if you've got microrings, linkies, protubes,
and the like).
I almost bought that same conditioner today, but bought a whole load of
other Pantene stuff (that conditioner wasn't on sale, but the stuff I bought
was, and I'm a sucker for sales ^_^). I was having some problems with
my 22" Lush looking kinda scraggly & rough; I'm not the best at styling,
and I was washing every day for a while there, and shampooing pretty
vigorously. Oops, heh heh.
Tried the Pantene Blonde Expressions Satin Polish Finishing Creme (whew,
say that ten times fast!) and the Pantene Smooth & Shine Styling Milk,
adding a bit of each to my hair right when I got home, and even with just
the little bit of product I used, they did a good job at smoothing
my hair and adding softness. Yahoo!
Ah, I love saving money.
