If you use expensive shampoo and conditioner

[kittykatkitty]

Could you please tell me what brand you use and why you love it?
I have fine , dry hair and shampoos from boots etc just aren't working anymore.
I feel I need to invest in something better.

@kittykatkitty I was coming to recommend the Extreme range by Redken. I'm currently using their Ultra Soft but I do prefer the Extreme. I find it helps my hair hang properly - I have fine, wavy, processed hair. Good choice. I hope it works well for you.

Aveda Cherry and almond. X

I love the banana shampoo and conditioner (and occasionally hair mask) from Body Shop. My hair isn't particularly problematic, but can sometimes get a bit dry. After a good treatment with this stuff every fortnight or so (normal, cheapish shampoo the rest of the time) it's nice and glossy and soft again :). Best thing is, you only need a really small about of Body Shop stuff to make a big difference, so it lasts ages!

I have fine hair and love tigi rockstar. (You can sometimes get it cheap at TK Maxx and TJ Hughs)

Another Aveda devotee! The products smell amazing and make such a difference to my hair.

Pureology serious colour care. Buy it on amazon not from salons.

I’m another who uses Redken Extreme after being recommended it on here. I have very fine, flyaway hair that breaks easily (my own fault - I bleach it platinum blonde). There does seem to have been a marked improvement since using the shampoo, conditioner and anti-snap serum. I buy them from lookfantastic.

have to say that knowing how fraudulent the beauty 'industry' is, I was very sceptical. But the Wella Enrich shampoo and Fusion conditioner really do the job, I notice when I try to economise with the high street stuff. You only need a tiny amount, just as well given the cost.

They are sold as 'volumising', which is the last thing I need, I have heavily straightened hair to get rid of my horrible ageing ugly curls. Fortunately that is a lie and it doesn't seem to make the bulk any worse.

Living Proof Volume Boost. I notice the difference if I have run out. Leaves my hair noticeably thicker. I have had a cold and noticed the difference in my air, so have started vitamins and collagen - things we do!

My advice would be to try products that are sulphate and silicone free rather than focusing on the price point. I found Maui moisture and Faith and Nature sensitive shampoo infinitely better than some much more expensive brands. I have a sensitive scalp and had greasy roots but products without SLS dont irritate it and the above let me go 2-3 days without needing to wash it.
Good luck with your search!

I have said this on other threads, but if you dye your hair, you'll see a boost in quality, thickness and texture if you stop dying

Fair enough Diana but some of us well me) do not want to go grey!

I've looked up the Redken extreme - it is in a mauve bottle - it it just the bottle that colour or one of those mauve colour shampoo for bleached hair which I do not have.

Mine isn't coloured at all and is as fine and as thin as can be. Wish it was as simple as just stopping colouring it.

Innoluxe like Olaplex but better.

Aveda is so lovely and lasts for ages and gives you an aromatherapy treatment as well because it all smells gorgeous.

@lotusbell sorry only just seen this. Yes would definitely recommend. My hair was similar to how you describe and mine is so much better since using it xx

Aveda Shampure (about £50/litre but I got a 20% off M&S)
Love the smell, leaves my hair clean and not coated

Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" leave in

Aveda Daily Hair Repair ( it was in the Advent but I didn't buy that)

Like a PP, my current favourite is Virtue - I use the volumising one. Also like Aveda and Kerastase - the Densifique one.

I use Tigi Recharge, not overly expensive as you can get 2 huge bottles for about £11, but I find that they remove any product or oily residue from the roots whilst leaving the rest of your hair in excellent condition as well. I use Mane Club hair masks occasionally, they are absolutely incredible but expensive to use a lot, so normally I use the banana body shop hair mask once a week which helps to keep it in good condition. If money was no object I really like Aveda.

Aveda

I like this one, though it's not really expensive as such. It does seem to help thicken my hair. I also use the leave in spray conditioner they do, or argan oil.

I also have Deciem HIF, the one with the peptides, can't remember the name. I do like that a lot though it's a bit hard to use and costs a lot per ml. Plus they don't always have it in stock.

I love this www.kevinmurphystore.com/hair-type/coloured/ and this uk.lizearle.com/category/haircare/SHAMPOO-CONDITIONERS

@Standinguptononsense, thanks for that. Money now parted with!

@kittykatkitty
I use the cherry one too atm, love the smell and texture. Gives my hair a good shine too.

I use Aveda Shampure. It makes a real difference to my hair. it smells fab, and lasts for ages.
