If you love your shampoo...

Tell me what it is please?

I have lots of fine dry highlighted hair that is always a bit straggly at the ends, I need some tlc. I blow dry and don't use irons anymore which has helped a bit.

I do occasionally find one I love - Joico K-Pak, Kerastase Ciment one - but my hair seems to get used to them quickly.

I'm not up for going silicon free although I limit it in styling (Extraordinary Oil only for nights out etc) but open to suggestions.

And I do weekly coconut oil soaks which definitely strengthens it.

Shampoo and conditioner really.

I think I need at least two sets to cycle between as my hair gets used to whatever I use.

I use elvive fibrology shampoo and conditioner, I find it plumps up my fine hair. Before that I used to like using the naked range

I love Neal's Yard orange flower. It is silicone free but I've found it's very cleansing but also leaves my hair soft so I love it. They do different ones depending on hair type.

Get a good SLS free shampoo. I use Dr Organic from Holland and Barrett. Stop washing your hair everyday, and make sure your highlights don't contain any bleach.

This improved the condition of my hair a million percent.

I had to grow/cut the straggly dry hair out though to really see the benefit.

I don't wash my hair every day - once every 3 days. And I don't want to go SLS free as I do use silicones in moderation and I don't think an SLS free one would remove the buildup. Just a gentle shampoo really.

I have to go SLS free as I'm allergic to them (lumpy scalp). Silicones, less so.

I have fine, highlighted hair that needs to be washed every day - greasy roots, dry mid lengths and ends. The best shampoo I've found (having tried loads from the cheap through to Aveda/Joico/Kerastase/Redken, you name it!) is L'Oreal Ever Riche in the gold tubes. Gentle enough for my scalp and gets my hair really nice and clean without drying it out. I use the one for very dry hair. Is often on 3 for 2 in Boots or the supermarket, too.

I use organix which you can get in boot, superdrug or some supermarkets. I have hair that is very long, fine, tends to frizz and tangles. This combo works best so far: Brazil nut shampoo followed by the keratin conditioner (shampoo is in a brown bottle while the conditioner is in pink) the bottles are distinctive round shape. Made is the US, so a hit pricey, between 5 and 7 quid a bottle, though there are often deals such as 2 for a tenner.

Getting the ends cut so the hairs are the same length will help with the straggly looking ends.

Brill - Elvive Fibrology and Loreal Ever Riche both look good. I'll nip to Boots later and get whichever is on offer

I use Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo and conditioner and the 3 Minute Miracle and every now and then I use MilkShake Integrity. Whatever I use I follow up with MilkShake Conditioning Whipped Cream.

I've tried all the salon brands recommended by hairdressers and not been impressed. This range is by far the best I've found...

brilliant brunette

They also do a range for blondes.

I do get it cut regularly - blunt cut as it makes it look thicker - but it's splitting more quickly than ever and I think decent products will help. I'm trying to grow it and it's frustrating!

It is possible to buy an SLS free shampoo (Sodium Laureth Sulphate) that still contains silicones. But you will have to do some serious label reading/googling to find out which they are.

No SLS made a massive difference to the condition of my hair, even without the other stuff.

I should add that my tangled frizzy hair becomes silky and softer with that shampoo + conditioner combo. I think my hair needs a lot of moisture. I wash it about every 3 or 4 days.

I liked the brilliant brunette range before my scalp got really sensitive. I used the brunette range despite being blonde. I found it better for shine and moisture than the blonde version which turned my hair to straw.

make, if your styling regime includes silicones I would use a clarifying shampoo every 3rd or so wash. I like the Redken cleansing cream

Aveda shampure range. Has dramatically improved my hair and doesn't give me eczema like other shampoos. It's pricy but I bought a huge bottle in the US nearly a year ago and it's still no where near empty.

I have highlights and fine hair too. Greasy roots and dry ends can be my problem. I don't think it really matters what shampoo you use - I just use vosene every other day, but I use loads of conditioner. I just buy cheaper stuff but use loads of it and give it a good amount of time to soak in. I find this helps more than different brands tbh.

Squeezy is this the clarifying one you mean?

I'm a bit scared of clarifying shampoos in case they strip my colour. I have a mix of blonde highlights with an ash toner.

Ooh Tarka I haven't tried Aveda shampoos and the shampure range sounds fab. Bit ££ though! Maybe I'll order the sample sizes and try...

That's the one. It's unlikely to strip your highlights as they tend to be bleach based but it may fade your ash toner though using a purple/blue shampoo like Touch of Silver will help to restore that and reduce the warmth/brassiness in the highlights. Tbh, clarifying shampoos tend to be harshest on bold or dark colours.

this one is marketed as suitable for coloured hair if you would rather not take the risk.

I have the touch of silver shampoo somewhere, I must remember to use it more often as my highlights do go brassy after a month or so.

Thanks for all the great tips swishy haired people

I use Toni and guy which I get from boots. Also the aveda stuff smells soooo good, just cant afford it regularly.

OP I know exactly what you mean about your hair getting used to a shampoo and conditioner, I have the same trouble and need to switch between others sometimes. Funny isn't it.

Definitely try a sample before buying. It has a very distinctive clove-y smell which I love but might not be your cup of tea.

I adore Kevin Murphy Angel Wash

It's expensive, but so lovely - when I use it, random people keep commenting on how great my hair smells confused
