Shampoo- is it all basically the same bar perfumes?

[PollyPerky]

Just musing...

I've recently changed my shampoo and wondered (excepting organic ranges and SLS free) if it's all smoke and mirrors?

I've used everything from the pricey (Aveda and Philip Kingsley) to Herbal Essences.

I don't see a huge difference.

All the 'stuff ' they are supposed to have in from mango fruit to white tea picked by virgins at dawn.... surely it's all a load of chemicals to provide a smell and the actual raw ingredients (fruit, leaves, whatever) is a minute amount, just so they don't break trade descriptions?

Yes.

Some shampoos are horrible on my hair, they make it limp and greasy so I guess there must be SOME differences!

Yes, there are differences, but I don't find cost to be an indicator of quality. Best shampoo is Pantenne and have tried everything - Oribe etc downwards!

Pantene makes my hair rank! Best shampoo is Aussie

Best on mine is Head and Shoulders! Never expected that.

I think they must have some differences some leave my hair feeling light and soft, others greasy to touch and my hair feels a lot heavier

Best for me L'Oréal elvive ( red bottle, coloured hair )

Worst herbal essence

No, I used to think that then I switched to a better product and my hairs very sleek & shiny now.

Pant

Pantenne is awful

And i live Herbal essenses

Pantene gave me an itchy scalp. As did Elvive after a while.
Aveda was good but not worth £20 a bottle.

Aussie mega has been my staple for ages but felt my hair was still a 'tacky' after a couple of days and as if the conditioner weighed it down(it's not greasy) .

Now swapped to herbal essences white tea detox.
