How many shampoo & conditioners do you have using parallel?

43 replies

TeaAddict235 · 28/04/2021 19:17

I currently have 3 shampoos that I use in parallel, I.e. when I need a smoothing shampoo, or a moisturising one or a third gentle repair, I select from the three. Am currently tempted to open a fourth Blush

I have 2 conditioners: a hydrating one and a smoothing one.

How many do you have awaiting use, and do you find it an efficient method to have ones to fit your hair needs?

We have one shampoo for the kids and then one shampoo and conditioner for the adults. It’s more then enough with all our individual shower gels etc

I chan he the brand of ours every time to stop product build up.

I don't use shampoo but an absolute shed load of conditioners Blush and styling products
Mostly because I buy stuff on offer so I stash things, and also because I alternate between moisture/protein

Two shampoos (one for scalp psoriasis, one gentle one) one conditioner for me. However my bathroom is unbelievably full of products!
Teen dd has about 4 shower gels on the go. She’s mixed race so has different hair products to me. She has one conditioner to wash with and another to condition with plus a shampoo she uses occasionally and then an intensive conditioner...
I use soap, partner and son use shower gel.
5 year old gets given character bubble bath
2 year old can only use one bath product and one shampoo without eczema flare up. They’re expensive so I don’t want everyone using them.

I think there are 17 bottles currently in use in my bathroom! (Not including my face stuff-I do have 2 cleansers, 3 toners, a serum, an eye cream and 2 moisturisers on the go 😳)

I have 3 shampoos, 3 conditioners and 3 masks on rotation.

2, head and shoulders and the dove age shampoo and conditioner.

I usually have 3-4 shampoos on the go as my hair seems to need a change as it’s fine and I’m always looking for the holy grail. I only use one or two conditioners at most

FrangipaniBlue · 29/04/2021 17:27

1 shampoo in the bathroom and a travel size in my gym bag that gets refilled from the bathroom one.

0 conditioner

ilovebruuuceandbags · 29/04/2021 18:38

3....a purple shampoo to keep the blonde blonde, clarifying shampoo for whenever my hair gets product build-up and a daily shampoo (moisturising). Usually just one conditioner though. I get the 1L pump bottles so not much room in my shower!

FedNlanders · 29/04/2021 20:46

1..just tesco one!

chatw00 · 30/04/2021 10:32

Ooooh, too many....

My 'main' shampoo and conditioner in big pump bottles (Philip Kingsley).
Then one of each for dry hair, but I used all the conditioner and have just the shampoo left.
Then one of each for coloured hair, which I rashly purchased from my hairdresser and don't really like that much.
Plus just a shampoo, also from my hairdresser, that I liked the smell of.
Also another matching shampoo and conditioner that I also like the smell of (Dizziak).
Plus four shower gels/body washes...

Most of these are in a hanging storage thing on the shower screen, so it doesn't look as bad as it might sound!!

ZaraW · 30/04/2021 10:38

One shampoo, one conditioner and one hair mask. I buy when they run out.

TeaAddict235 · 30/04/2021 11:20

Good that I'm not the only one @pinkypink24 .

@Elouera my hair looks good and behaves well when I look after it intensively, i.e. hair masks, appropriate shampoos, etc. I have in the past just used one shampoo and one conditioner and felt highly frustrated with the results, despite trying different combinations. I also find that the different seasons have an effect on my hair. I shed about now in spring and again around November-December time, so the end of autumn. As such I notice a transition from certain products to others equally I have always been a product junkie Grin

@TeaAddict235 yes Smile somewhere between 2C and 3C depending how my hair behaves!

It took me ages to find the product that is right for me, both shampoo and hair mask (I only use hair mask and only once a week..) so I am good with one each and have not change the formula for couple of years now...
