--Finesse Moisturizing for dry or coarse hair Leaves my coarse hair very soft. I think it has Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate though, and and contains a silk protein and a dimethicone ingredient for smoothness.. some hair may not like 'cone products though, especially fine hair types.
--Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo not sure what this is good for.. I use it because it smells like Down To Earth bubblebath. I haven't studied the PMAS ingredients. Contains a lot of questionable herbal extracts that I'm not sure actually have any effect on hair. Gives me pretty generic results.
Both of these Suave products give me salon-quality results for a buck fifty each 14.5 oz. Great detangling properties. The Humectant smells like coconut and the BioBasics smells like Tahitian Monoi (Tiare). They contain water-soluble silicone ingredients that supposedly require less clarifying (my porosity is high though... so this ingredient works best on Caucasian hair types probably. I clarify with apple cider vinegar once every two weeks. Also, curly-hairs will looooove both of these Suave conditioners for CO wash.)
I hope to try the new Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine pair.
But now my current favs are
Garnier Fructis Shampoo (doesn't matter which type, there is barely any ingredient difference)
L'Oreal VIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner (it really doesn't matter which conditioner you use from this line, they all have the necessary ingredients to make your hair smooth. Although the scent of each results in an "ofactory assault" quoted from a reviewer.)
John Frieda Brillient Brunette shampoos smell simply incredible. But I promised myself to stop the spending on my hair, soon to be chopped off.

Keeps your hair smelling fresh for days, or looking fresh? I don't notice a problem with my hair smelling weird, but if there's anything that'll keep it looking fresh so I didn't have to wash every other day to keep it from greasing and flaking up, that would be good.
More awesome than a manatee!

I got back from Wal*Mart. I ended up buying TRESemme shampoo and conditioner for dry damaged hair. I was gonna buy the L'Oreal Vive shampoo like I said, but its way expensive for such a little bottle.
Depending on your location, TRESemme can be good or bad... some locations I've checked have a TRESemme variety that has SLES as the main surfactant (great) but some have a combination of the ammoniums. Check the ingredients: you'll want the TRESemme that has "sodium laureth sulfate" or "sodium lauryl ether sulfate"

I switch between the suave biobasics shampoo and conditioner and the loreal vive smooth intense line. I really like the results with both because they make my hair really shiny and healthy looking. I don't look at ingredients too much because I've never really had many problems with my hair being dry, but that may be because when I blow dry, I only blow dry partially..just to get the main dampness out.

look out for this one in a green bottle or heads and shoulders tend to work its great my hair after i use either one is smooth,silky and soft. which i lik
By the "one in the green bottle", if you mean the Garnier Fructis it's a great shampoo with a very gentle salon-quality cleanser. Great recommendation!

I tried Garnier Fructis before, but it wasn't that good for me-- it made my hair feel harder somehow, and it looked flatter. Apparently anything in a green bottle isn't good for me, since I also don't care for Renewal 5x, or whatever they're calling it now. I've been using the kind of Dove for fine, dyed hair lately, and it's all right, I guess. *shrugs* The thing I've tried I liked best so far was the Te Tao lotus, but that's like disappeared lately :-( , so I'm looking for something else. Not sure what I'll try next.
Hi Kuroneko Two questions for you: 1) Were you using both the S&C from Garnier Fructis? I understand many finehairs don't get good results from this brand. 2) Your sn sounds Japanese. Does it have a meaning? It's very pretty.

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!
