I’ll admit…I receive loads and loads of hair products weekly, but I have YET to find a shampoo and conditioner that I adore. What gives, people? Honestly, the closest I’ve gotten to sudsy infatuation is Infusium’s Moisturologie line. (5 bucks a pop at Target. SCORE!)
Does this problem stem from the fact that I have “normal” hair? Most of the products I see/receive for review are so specialized (colored, dry, damaged, volume-enhancing, etc…) What about us girls with the no-drama tresses?
Tell me, dear readers. What is your favorite shampoo and conditioner, inexpensive or pricey? Let’s all share with one another, regardless of hair type. Kumbaya.

May 4, 2010 at 7:59 amI have used Bumble&Bumble Gentle and Super Rich for years now and I’ve had no reason to want to change. It works great on my normal, straight locks. I’ve had a few friends recommend Infusium so in the name of keeping on a tight budget I may have to try it.

May 4, 2010 at 8:00 amRedken All Soft Shampoo & Conditioner – I am not blessed with normal hair, so this helps tame the frizziness of natural wavy hair and keeps my scalp happy.

May 4, 2010 at 8:01 amL’Oreal EverPure moisturizing shampoo & conditioner. I do not have “normal” hair. I have enough hair for two people and it’s color-treated. I like that this is sulfate-free and doesn’t fade my colour, but it smells a little hippy-dippy for me.
Kerastase Oleo-Relax is the best ever, but I just can’t justify the expense.

May 4, 2010 at 8:03 amMy favorite combo is Bumble and bumble Seaweed Shampoo with Bumble and bumble Alojoba Conditioner. My hair is pretty “normal” – medium thickness, not dry or oily, etc. – and this combo leaves is soft but not greasy.

May 4, 2010 at 8:12 amI too have normal hair – my all time reasonably priced choice is Redken’s Clear Moisture. Been using for a decade, still love it. For a splurge, I love Kerastase’s Bain Satin 1 and Lait Vital – worth it if you can swing the heavy price tag.

May 4, 2010 at 8:29 amPureology Volume line. It’s the only conditioner that does not make my hair look dirty half way through the day.

May 4, 2010 at 8:30 amI hate to say I got sucked into a “TV product”. Wen has helped me so much. I always had “good hair” according to my mother, but let me just say last week, the desk clerk at the hotel where I was went on for FIVE MINUTES about my hair. So yeah, it must be working. And I am one of those people that swears I must shampoo everyday. I guess not, after all.

May 4, 2010 at 9:16 amI love the L’Oreal Ever Pure/Ever Strong line. I love my expensive shampoo (Keune or Alfaparf) but I don’t love the pricetag. The L’Oreal line is a good substitute, and easy on the pocketbook.

May 4, 2010 at 9:18 amKerastase Bain Satin “for normal to dry hair” is, hands down, the best shampoo I’ve ever used. I use the Lait Vital conditioner with it, and the combo gives me movie star hair. Seriously. Unfortunately, due to the price and the fact that I went back to school, I can only splurge on it once in a while…

May 4, 2010 at 9:19 amWhen I have money to spend, I love the Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner from Kiehl’s. It smells incredible and makes my hair smooth and soft.
When I am poor, I like Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner. It also smells amazing and makes my hair nice, for way less cash than Kiehl’s.

May 4, 2010 at 9:20 amI love Brocato Splassh shampoo – sulfate-free, and just enough moisture that I can get by without conditioning if I don’t have time. If I do condition, I use Brocato Saturation leave-in conditioner.

May 4, 2010 at 9:30 amLove #1: Pureology Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner.
I have dry hair, made drier by highlighting. This shampoo broke the “dry scalp today, oily scalp tomorrow” cycle. I can easily wash every other day now – I feel like my scalp is more consistent (neither dry, nor oil-slick oily)
#2. Kiehl’s Amino Acid shampoo followed by Kiehl’s Hair Conditioner and Grooming Aid #133. I tried it because it’s what my gym stocks in their showers and I. Love. It. (Enough that I might replace Pureology with this stuff) Same results as Pureology (not too drying, can go multiple days without, no second-day greasy hair).
