This is driving me nuts
Back 20 odd years ago I used this shampoo and conditioner but can't for the life of me remember what it was and I have a feeling it may of been discontinued as haven't seen it for ages, was thinking of using it again but can't find it.

All I can remember was it was a green bottle and didn't have a fruity smell.

I still yearn for the 3 step Vidal Sassoon products from back in the late 70s- early 80s. My hair was incredible back then.
Dark brown bottles, almondy smell. Amazing stuff.

I was going to say this.
I was a nurse in the late 70s and my hair was shoved up under my starched hat all day (v glam!). The Vidal Sassoon 3 step hair stuff smelt divine and made my hair look strong and glossy. A miracle considering the way I treated it.

A shampoo/conditioner that I LOVED from the 90's was in an aluminium bottle and I'm sure it was the name of a male hairdresser? Anyone know?
They had aromatherapy type scents and I can literally still smell it. Takes me right back to getting ready for a night out!

I still miss the Avon leave in conditioner from the 80s - a massive pink cylindrical bottle.

Quick Touch - the smell of my childhood!

Thanks to those posters who have reminded me of the Salon Selectives advert jingle 😉

legophoenix · 12/10/2022 22:29

Yes!! It was Nicky Clarke Hairomatherapy!
Wish I could smell it again. It was a lovely texture too.

userxx · 12/10/2022 22:30

@PeloFondo Thank you!! I loved that stuff.

ohsuzannah · 12/10/2022 22:32

Polyherb rainsoft shampoo? I used to use it but it's long since been discontinued 😐

Chocolatecroissant1982 · 12/10/2022 22:32

I miss the Vidal Sassoon shampoos in the brown bottle that smelt of marzipan. And flex shampoo.

Wasn't it in quite a phallic looking bottle? Italian name?

Penguinsaregreat · 12/10/2022 22:36

I remember Flex. It smelt gorgeous.

Yes! I loved Vidal Sassoon my mum had the industrial sized bottles for seemingly years. Blast from the past

willowstar · 12/10/2022 23:22

@AndSoFinally I think it was called Once. I remember the advert...once... super soft once....or something like that!

willowstar · 12/10/2022 23:24

I too miss the brown bottles Vidal Sassoon range which smelled if almonds and salon selectives. I also remember shampoo and conditioner by Revlon, though I lived in the US for a while so I am not sure if it was over there or here I used it. It smelled so good.

This! I worked in a bar, one of the other girls who worked there was a hairdresser and she used to get really annoyed because (apparently!) my hair looked so good everyone thought l was the hairdresser.

I loved Revlon Flex as well. It smelled incredible!

@WeThreeKingsofOrientAre that link didn't ring a bell for me, this one is the UK version, far catchier!

CellarBellaatemycoal · 12/10/2022 23:58

I used to love the sachets of minty st Ives intensive conditioner (was it a three minute treatment or something ?) . So tingly!
