What shampoo and conditioner do you use?

And what's your hair like please?

I'm looking for inspiration. I've been using Johnson's baby for years (I used to struggle to find something that didn't set my eczema off. It's been gone for years, but I liked how my hair looked with those, so just kept using them). Anyway, they've stopped making the pink conditioner, and I really don't like the replacement. So I thought I was probably too old to use baby shampoo I'd try something completely different.

Also, I'm nosy and like to know what other people use, and this is an excellent excuse for it Grin

My hair sounds similar to yours OP and I used Lush Big shampoo, never bother with conditioner (I never dry my hair). I had eczema as a child and dry skin now and it never aggravates. I occasionally switch and try another shampoo but always come back to it as it smells lovely and leaves my hair very shiny and manageable

This thread has made me remember the horrible scalp problems I used to have a child. I am wondering if it was due to the bargain bin shampoos I used to use. It was horrible. The only time it would get better if my mum forced me to wash it with prescription coal tar shampoo - and she would have to force me because I'd be about to suffocate with the smell.

On a lighter note though, I've also tried Rituals shampoo in the last week. It's not long enough of a test yet, but so far I am impressed. And it smells noticeably terrific.

I wanted to love Naked shampoo but it turned my fine, colour-treated hair to straw. And Liz Earle is ok, but am starting to notice my ends are getting really crispy. Any recs from the Green People/Jason/natural SLS-free ranges?

sophie Naked did the same to my hair - maybe it's not great on fine hair. The only paraben/sls free shampoos I found that work for me are Aveda ones.

Oh, no. Don't tell me that. I had a very expensive Aveda habit - took years to break it...

Sorry sophie! But they are so good... I've tried a lot of cheap shampoos and hated them all except for Aussie - but as Aussie are now evil and poisonous I'm thinking I need to start budgeting for Aveda :)
