bah, bought a load of the James Brown hair prods and they are rubbish.

[piratecat]

Offer 3 for a tenner, so i though i'd treat myself and being a pretty much skint all the time person it was money that WAS a real treat.

So much to choose from but i thought 'hey he's pretty good isn't he'

it's supposed to be moisturizing shampoo, well my hair felt like rats tails, and a twice a week conditioning treatment. May as well have put my Herbal essences on.

my hair is quite dry, and dyed. The other prod was hair protector. made no difference. Wish i'd kept the receipt now.

I think all of those branded hair thing are shite. Every six months or so I get sucked in and I'm always disappointed.

i know! i have tried a few over the years, even tresemme seemed to changed.

my hairs not that bad! pissed me right off.

oy James Brown, i am pissed off you here me!!

oh fgs 'hear' even

I agree, the shampoo and conditioner is shit!

One of the best hairdressers I have ever had told me never, ever, ever buy any products bearing the name of hairdressers or celebrities. She told me to stick to the main brands you see in hairdressers e.g. loreal, clairol, kerastase etc. I have found this to be sound advice. Sadly we are now 300 miles apart [sob]

sorry, I should have been clearer - the brand names, not the actual stuff only sold in salons.

The only product with a hairdresser's name on it that I've ever found to be any good is the Charles Worthington conditioner.

Everything and I mean everything else has been disappointing. But thanks for the heads-up, if I'm ever tempted by special offers I will resist!

I got some of this shampoo and conditioner - it's on offer in Superdrug (sure it's £1.69) in store and I really like it.

I like the Trevor Sorbie range. Good old Trev, he's never let me down.

Oh god I used to be obsessed with Charles worthington hair stuff.

Now I prefer herbal essences, the purple tousled one.

thanks for the advice about the V05!

moomin, i am sorry iyswim that you have also purchased this crap.

yes the blue coconut Herbal Essences is great, of which i also have in the bathroom originally!

Agree all/ most 'celeb' hairdressers' products useless. Most have just 'sold' their names anyway.
Best to stick to Kerastase IMO.

Herbal essences does odd things to my hair, as does Phil Smith stuff. Aussie stuff a fail safe. Liz Earle and Aveda do lovely shampoo.

i quite like the serum but only as its silicone free but to be honest i use curl creme or coco lite stuff

the man himself comes across as a colossal xxxx

i checked the back of the product, there's no hotline just an address in London, Curlytop, which i could write to if i can find the time.

I'm a total sucker for shampoos etc that promise be beeyootiful hair. I am always disapointed.

I tend to go back to Herbal Essences with my rat tails between my legs.

I also like the purple 'tousled' one.
I have even had compliments.

Yeah i bought some on the Boots offer and found it pretty naff too.

result! went into tiny local Boots, and they suggested ring customer services.

were really helpful (as i explained even if i had the receipt, it's a 40 mile round trip to the big Boots where i got the prods) and they gave me 12 quids worth of avantage points. nice one Boots.

lady also thanked me for telling her, now she wont buy any, and they pass on comments back to their team too.!

Good result! I find the staff in tiny Boots' really helpful, actually.

James Brown made some vile racist comments about a Black actor a few months ago. Probably a good idea to not pour money intro his coffers, the racist tool.

did he! i am glad then that i left such scathing negative comments of his products on the Boots site then!
