Head and Shoulders..wow.

I used to have dandruff when I was in elementary school and so did my older brother. One day I tried his head and shoulders and needless to say, a few weeks later the problem was at bay. I hadn't used it in several years because I haven't experienced dandruff in a while. Anyway, while watching television I noticed an add for Head and Shoulders starring one of my favourite actresses..can't remember her name..you know, the one who used to play Brenda on General Hospital? She now plays someone on 90210. Anyway, I went out and bought a bottle because I've always admired her hair, and boy was I ever impressed with the results! My hair felt so clean and healthy when wet and after drying it, it had so much bounce and volume, not to mention shine and softness. I don't know if anyone can tell me about the ingredients in it, but I sure appreciated the results. I don't use it every night, about once every two weeks when my hair feels limp. It smells kind of like soap, but I dont' mind; it only adds to the clean feeling I get from using it. Anyone else with a similar experience with this product?

> Another product that coats my hair is Herbal Essences,> I can take my fingernail and run it up a strand of> hair, and all this white stuff comes off, like wax!I won't buy Herbal Essences simply because the commercials are so blasted pathetic, but I'm not surprised about the white coating. I experienced the same thing with Pantene a few years back -- ugh!

I agree, I just hate the commercials, you can tell that someone wasn't thinking 100% when they made them.Anyways, about the pantene, I think it strips your hair, and adds silicones and other bad stuff to it. Isn't this horrible?Imagine if they made a soap what it would do to your skin.Do you know of any other shampoos that do this?I have found that some Finesse stuff does this and I know this shouldn't happen, but I tried a Biolage conditioner once, and it left my hair with coating too!!However, Aveda doesn't, Bain De Terre doesn't, and some of the good salon brands.

The converse is true as well.
