Best shampoo/conditioner now I can't afford Aveda?

Can anyone recommend a good shampoo/conditioner for me? I used to use Aveda but can't justify the cost any more - don't mind above average high street price though. I've got coloured hair (blonde) that tends to be a bit dry and frizzy at the ends.
Thanks so much

Aussie is the best conditioner. I've tried loads and I keep coming back to it. I use Aveda shampoo and I buy the large bottle and find that I don't need very much for each wash compared to the usual supermarket brands so it works out almost the same price over a year, but obviously the big bottle is a huge initial outlay. If I didn't use Aveda I would try Burt's Bees or one of the 'Yes to' range, Yes to Carrots is great for my kids.

I use Aussie Luscious Long and haven't had a problem with dry ends or frizz since i started using it. Its usually on offer 3 for £10 at Tesco.

Another Aussie fan as well. It's definatley the best conditioner.

Aussie as mentioned, or the Loreal Everpure range around the £5 mark or sometimes on a deal £10 for 3..

Can you afford to buy the 1ltr bottles of Aveda? I wash my shoulder length hair every third day and I use two bottles a year, not even a full one of conditioner. Have done for 20 years, consistently the same usesge. DH uses Rosemary mint, every day, 3 a year. Cheaper than the H&S that dried out his scalp before I met him.

Obviously I meant as the big bottles are more economical.

Aveda is rubbish for the money anyway! All hype! It's full of chemicals like any other brand and not ethical like they try to imply as it is owned by Estee Lauder. I use Tresemme Naturals, cheap, cheerful and comes in massive bottles which last an age. My hair is just as good as when using expensive stuff- it's all washed down the drain anyway as hair is dead it doesn't benefit from anything except something to keep it clean and something to coat it to smooth it and stop frizz. Vitamins and proteins are a waste on hair!

I've always loved Charles Worthington the strength and repair range is great.

Another vote for Aussie - I have fine coloured hair with dry ends and the Volume shampoo along with 3 minute miracle conditioner are the only products that seem to make it soft and shiny.

Thanks, looks like Aussie is well worth a try!
