i've just washed my dry, coloured over and over and over, hair in this to give it a try and I am really impressed. It feels really clean and soft and smells fab - a bit Vosene-ish but not quite as medicinal. I think the mag only cost me £2.50 so its well worth a try :)

It's this one.

It will almost certainly contain salt. Even the Brazilian keratin range contains salt now.

Actually; I tried to check the ingredients in Morrison's today but I ripped the plastic wrapping so looked like I was trying to steal it so I hastily put it down!Blush then I ended up in tesco later and I could see sodium chloride listedHmm so I didn't bother...think my hair's getting 'immune' to Liz Earle so I'll maybe try the new waitrose one?

Sorry for the delay, I fell asleep early last night and have been working all day today!

The shampoo has about three million ingredients! But looking for sodium I can see disodium laureth sulfosuccintate, sodium chloride and sodium benzoate. I didn't realise you should avoid this if you've had a brazilian blow dry?!

I used it again today and am still impressed. I try to wash my hair only every other day as it gets quite dry otherwise and it was still clean and fresh smelling this morning. Tempted to buy the full sized ones :)

Ah that's a shame. I have a nightmare with hair products usually, I tried the 7 day straight stuff that everyone raved about and woke up with more frizz than usual!

I actually find that cheaper shampoo & conditioner works best for me usually - the Alberto Balsam ones in particular, about £1 each. Might be worth a go?

Tangled my hair something awful. Then again, you only have to look at my hair and it's in knots so I'm not a reliable source. Grin

I bought the magazine today (miraculously in Sainsburys they had some which hadn't been plundered by the people who think "Free Gift" is just that. No , you need to buy the magazine.......)

The wrapping was quite inflexible 70 and my thumb just 'popped' through it so I dropped it back onto shelf where no doubt someone else will half inch it later Shock
