Whatever happened to - Timotei shampoo??

[GenieGenealogy]

One of the biggest brands of my 80s childhood and 90s early adult hood. The woman with the long golden hair frolicking by a waterfall, and a horse (?) Huge selling brand, it was everywhere and everyone used it.

Then at some point it completely disappeared. What happened? Was it replaced by "Because I'm worth it" and the Herbal Essences woman?

I used to love garnier fructise shampoo it was the only thing that worked on my teenage greasy hair and smelled so lovely

I loved citre shine. It smelt amazing. I occasionally Google to see if it's come back.

I loved shaders wash in sachets too!

It was my go to as a teenager.
I recently bought 4 cans in Savers 😆
Smells the same.

Remember it fondly. The adverts.

Me! It was great shampoo. My gran loved it when she came to stay.

Can also confirm 02 Impulse smells the same!

You can get massive bottles of Flex in Spanish supermarkets

I loved woodleigh green too, smelt of apples, wish they would not keep changing things, loved flex too. X

It's at Superdrug just different packaging now.

I'd forgotten all about Fructis!

I remember being an awkward teenager watching TV with my parents and cringing whenever the Herbal Essences ad came on because of all the noises! 😂

They are in hone bargains right now for 2.99. 650mls.

Just called revlon now but smell the exact same a the old flex. Just used it earlier today!

Top shelf in the shampoo aisle. Please leave some for me!

Loved this - it smelled so nice!

Oh my goodness you've just sent me reeling back to high school!! I bloody LOVED Woodley Green Apple shampoo!! I had completely forgotten about that until now 💕

A snip at £15.99 on Amazon

The height of luxury for me was Alberto Balsam (now about 99p a bottle) followed by the Yellow Flex.

My mum had Salon Selectives but I wasn't allowed to touch. But I did use Toners and Shaders sachets and occasionally Green Apple Shampoo. Wanted Timotei but was told Timotei and Sunsilk were 'only for blondes'.

Right while you're all about
Does anyone remember a squishy soap from the body shop? It was like the consistency of jelly cubes and was a blackcurrant scent
Not a funny shape, it was a rectangle

I can't remember the name of it but I had a shower gel a couple of months ago, sniffed it and was whacked around the head with nostalgia

I would love to go out again after using the Vidal Sassoon shampoos, elnett hairspray, pearl drops to whiten you teeth, blue mascara and poncho pink lipstick in that horrible beige tube, big hair, big plastic jewellery, huge baggy batwing shirt worn with a thin belt over a pencil skirt with white stiletto's. Dancing around your handbags was still a thing, and it cost 50p to get into the club.

The Body Shop was such a huge thing - I remember a school trip to London and everyone piling into the one in Covent Garden and coming out with the kiwi lip balm, elderflower eye gel and bath pearls (that probably pissed off everyone's parents by staining the bath). We thought we were so sophisticated - it lost some of it's allure when one opened in the next door town!

OMG yes it was amazing and I've never found anything similar!

I remember Flex but my favoured conditioner was Finesse. Aside from not believing in conditioner, my mum seemed to think it was really gauche/vain.

From the Body Shop, I loved the fuzzy peach range and Japanese washing grains, and the animal soaps...I also regularly bought stuff from CtG; there was a pink clay like facial wash bar that was quite good for acne.

VO5 hot oil was ESSENTIAL. Did it really live up to it's promise?

I have really fine hair yet in all my (late 80s) school pics I look like I've got wiry wavy hair. Must've been horrible to touch.

I used to like V05 conditioner- the purple one. I think it was jasmine scented. And Limara Yellow Moon body spray.

Was there a VO5 green apple shampoo? I remember using one but it wasn't Woodley Green. I loved Limara - always thought it was for the more edgy, rebellious of girls rather than boring Sure!!! Body Shop coconut hair gel - amazing hold and delicious smell - I was devastated when they discontinued it.

@longtompot I loved CTG. From their eyeshadows that you could buy individually that fit in a circular box, their ginger perfume but best of all was the "Cocoloco shower oil". It was amazing.

Lush just isn't the same

Oh i can't remember the brand but I had these magnetic eye shadow singles that you kind of snapped into a magnetic case and rearranged. It was so sophisticated and everyone at my school coveted it. Anyone?

I loved salon selectives. Are those still available? Had many different combinations!
