Anyone used these highly advertised and throughly expensive hair products? I must admit they almost have me convinced, but just can't bring myself to spend £40 on shampoo and conditioner 😳 anyone know anything that's similar or better even? I have lots of mid-back length fine hair which is quite curly when left natural, and has a tendency to be very knotty. Been on the hunt for ages for a good conditioner that doesn't leave my hair with that horrible filmy feel as if you've not washed it all out properly. Any help appreciated!

I love Tigi bed head Urban antidotes recovery shampoo & conditioner. It's on justmylook and really reasonably priced. It's really such a good shampoo & conditioner! Have a look at the reviews Xmas Smile

I know its expensive, but think how much you spend on cheaper stuff and then think about using the better stuff less often. I had to do this, I spend more on better stuff but use it less often and my hair has never looked better.

I don't use FOB btw, so not a recommendation. At the moment my leave in is Paul Mitchell blue conditioner, my hair looks and feels amazing and I don't have to use my frizz styling products when I use it.

God I forget tigi is still a thing! It always reminds me of growing up in the late 90's/early 2000's Grin thank you!

I splashed out on F.O.B (discounted) and unfortunately really didn’t get on with it, made my hair feel weird. Had to give it away which made me feel very sad as they were big expensive bottles! But decided no point using if I didn’t actually like it, no matter how much it had cost!

I’ve used it and liked it but have since preferred to splash out kerastase. A little goes a very long way!

Ahh noooo, this is what I'm afraid of. Do they do samples?? I'd happily buy a small sample to see if my hair liked it. Honestly I swear I've tried every combination of shampoo and conditioner out there. I even tried the curly girl method of using only cleansing conditioner to 'wash' my hair but it all just makes my hair feel sticky, like it's not all been washed out. I haven't tried Kerastase though! Will add that one to my list.
