Looking for an amazing Shampoo & Conditioner

[Rachaelrachael]

I always used Wella colour brilliance shampoo and conditioner... until they changed the formula a couple of years ago. Since then I've tried numerous brands and can't find anything that leaves my hair feeling as smooth and healthy as the old wella formula. Any recommendations please?

Virtue hair care is the best I have ever used but ruinously expensive. I'm using Ouai at the moment (also expensive) and it is lovely, very luxurious.

For those asking about the Japanese shampoo & conditioners, I will link the ones I have tried. These are all on the Stylevana website as this is the cheapest place for me to source them. They take a bloody long time to turn up (last order took just over six weeks), and their customer service sucks. Obviously not remotely affiliated with them. You can try YesStyle, StyleKorea, etc. Might even be cheaper as you are not in Australia. (Also don’t have to wait for our 2x per week postal service.)

Currently using this one and I really like it. *Disclaimer, am also taking meds for alopecia so think that I shall try the thinning hair ones next.

This one is lovely. Lightly fragranced with fresh apricot scent. Doesn’t weigh hair down. Conditioner rinses very well. (Universal with all of these I find). My teenaged DD nicked it. They tend to change the fragrance around seasonally. In the summertime, they had a Japanese Water Mint on which was delicious. DD hadn’t discovered it yet.. The scents are so light they don’t irritate my scalp, nor do they hang around. www.stylevana.com/en_US/kracie-ichikami-hair-care-shampoo-480ml-1.html

The Sakura one is gorgeous too. This is a travel size set with shampoo & conditioner.

This one is amazing, and I love the refills… I loved the scent and I found this strengthening without weighing my hair down.

Best heat protectant/styling product I have ever used

Best mask too… (also literally use a pea-sized amount to get through mid-lengths to shoulders)

Best I have EVER used is Rahua. Expensive but unbelievably worth it.

I'm using pureplex at the moment and my hair isn't like straw.

They do a white mask which was brilliant as it took brassiness away. There is also a treatment.

All about £10 each.

My hair has done better with this than olaplex!
