I currently use Suave, and it's worked really well for me. I used to use Vidal Sassoon (before they changed the bottles), which was ok, but I don't know how they are now. Salon Selectives is good too, altho I didn't care much for the conditioner for normal hair.

Hi claribuzz,

I have many many male clients who buy salon shampoos. Some who might be embarrased, ask me what they could use on themselves and for their wives.

You can really tell the difference in salon shampoos. Why don't you tell us about the needs of your hair and maybe we can reccomend something. Then, go to a salon that carries that brand, (check the yellow pages) and tell them what you want and say "My wife sent me to get .........."

I promise they would not give it a second thought, and probably very happy to sell it to you because its a sale credited to they seller. Most salon staff members get a small commision on the products they sell.
I am a professional Hairstylist/Haircolorist with 19 years experience. I have traveled all over the country for my advanced education. I am also a salon owner.:)........and I LOVE Redken!!!

There's no such thing as a girly shampoo. Shampoo is shampoo. It is a chemical. I mean, wtf man, why do you even care what they think? And there's nothing wrong with being gay. Gay people are like any normal people. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, ect, they all dont have a look. There are manly gay people, girly gay people. There are manly straight people, there are girly men that are straight. You can not tell if someone's gay by their looks, unless they admit it.

Claribuzz-- Walmart here has self-checkout : ) Maybe that helps you partway. Have you tried L'Oreal for Kids? It's gentle for long term use.

I'm using Avalon Organics Tea Tree shampoo. Doesn't really help with dandruff but its a good shampoo for oily hair. My scalp itches often and I tried many shampoos and treatments and nothing works. It was only till I use Scalp Benefits conditioner on my scalp the problem went away (mostly). Its quite ironic really...when the general rule is not to apply conditioner on the scalp. But then again this conditioner was made for the scalp

I think my scalp definitely needs some benefits, as much as it itches :-( .  Tea Tree shampoo could be a good idea, too, as I occasionally do put straight Tea Tree Oil on my scalp when the itch gets too annoying. . . though even that only helps a little. . .  Bleh, my scalp has too many problems.  *pokes it*
More awesome than a manatee!

I tried the Tea Tree treatment before. After shampoo, massage into the scalp and leave for few minutes then rinse out. (I use the tea tree oil from pharmacy, not the essential oil type). Keeps my scalp free from itchiness for a few hours but the problem came back. I tried all the dandruff/ itchy shampoos from Pyhto, Head and Shoulders, Avalon, Keratese and so on...nothing works. My prob got better after I start using Aveda scalp benefits conditioner and a new exercise regime (no improved diet though). Maybe my scalp is dry? You know like how oily skin is actually dry skin with too much oil in it.

Claribuzz, why don't you try Avalon Organics from certain pharmacies? I forgot the chain name though, but you can find it in Ikano Power Centre, 1 Utama and BMS Organic centre (in Cheow Yang) thats if you're familiar with PJ. So far their body and facial stuff works with me, the hair products not so sucessfull -you can also try our own home made I Green. I use their body wash but switch as I don't like the sticky residue. (its very natural based...I think the body wash does not even have preservative). http://www.i-green.com.my/

I'm using their Resurge toning gel which is by far the best mosturiser for oily skin I'ever used.

I wouldn't buy from salon. They are more expensive. Buy from those supply stores like Shins or those standalones. The only problem would be they are not good at making recommendations.

Good luck with your purchase.

ive tried like a million shampoos all of them basically the same also homemade shampoos, except one stood out that i still use today call AMERICAN CREW DAILY SHAMPOO!! it removes dirt and removes excesss hair oil but doesnt remove all the natual oil that protects your scalp and hair. it uses some sort of special extract to do this. ITS ALSO PH BALANCED so it doesn't dry out your hair. also i reccomend the conditioner to this product(***allso make sure when u use the conditioner u only use a teeny bit or else ur going to feel build also make sure ur hair is wet when u apply it). anyways if you use alot of the shampoo you won't see a difference only use a little bit like the size of a nickel or less. /////// also a good tip make sure the conditioner your using doesn't have any silcone in it basically any ingredient that ends in cone such as dimethocone.
