What shampoo and conditioners do you use (particularly interested to know if your a hairdresser)

[OriginalHugsy]

Hair dresser today (first time I seen this lady as my last one rudely without telling me left the salon), was telling me that shampoo on the shops is very very bad for hair and that it coats the hair and makes it have an unnatural effect? Obv the point was to sell me their mega expensive shampoo 17 bleeding quid a bottle but was it all for the sale or some truth?
What do you use?

I'm using the boots naked range atm but would like to find a cheaper paraben / sulphate free range if anyone has any reccommendations?

Aussie or herbal essences or sometimes tesco cheap tea tree oil shampoo. I can never really tell the difference and buy those as I like the smell... The primary driver is which is on offer.

The only ones I avoid are l'oreal shampoos as it's too heavy for my hair and head and shoulders as it makes my hair feel like straw.

Barefoot SOS shampoo/conditioner for scaley scalps (not the real name!). The only one I've found that actually stops my head itching.
