I want to try an expensive shampoo and conditioner

[Relocatiorelocation]

I have awful hair, far too much of it, curly / wavy / straight in different patches. Doesn't respond well to the Curly Girl method, or anything else really.
I'm wondering if I should just throw money at it and try a higher end range, I've looked at Kerastase Discipline, or Redken Frizz Dismiss maybe. It's a lot more than I'd usually spend, would you recommend either? Or something else? I am so, so fed up of my unruly hair.

Depends what your hair needs. I personally love redken all soft as my hair needs a lot of moisture. I also love philip Kingsley Elasticizer for a pre-wash treatment that makes my hair soo soft

I found the red Ken frizz dismiss very heavy for my hair (wavy). It has protein in which doesn’t suit my hair. The other redken range seem to be good. It’s funny I have spent so much money on hair products and still haven’t found my holy grail. I’m not sure whether spending more is actually worth it.

I've started using Redken all soft and very impressed with how much softer and more manageable it has made my frizzy, dry hair.

I'd recommend an Only Curls starter pack to give it a go. I'm a convert to them now. It's been 4 months and my hair is in such good condition.

Kerastase is great. I also love Ouai. I have extremely thick wavy hair so do find expensive products help. I also recommend aveda, R+Co and coco and eve. George northwood’s moisturising cream is also great for leaving in your hair all day.

"Russian Amber" by Philip B is amazing

Paul Mitchell smoothing shampoo and conditioner - then Skinny Serum

If I was paying for an expensive conditioner (I honestly don't think it's worth forking out on shampoo), I would get Living Proof Perfect Hair Day. You can get travel sizes which are still expensive but they allow you to try before you commit to buying full sized. The 5 in-1 styling cream is great too.

Ouai shampoo and conditioner is lovely.

I’ve had a lovely experience with Living Proof recently too. The pink curl stuff. I found the conditioner and curl oil in TK Maxx - still £20 for the conditioner but £10
less than full price.

Pureology is excellent. Lasts for ages as it's so concentrated. No SLS in it.

I use Kerastase Bain Satin for thick curly hair and Masquintense as a conditioner.

don’t bother with Bumble and Bumble. Overpriced rubbish, may as well be supermarket shampoo .

Another vote for the Only Curls stuff it's excellent.

Pureology is great but for your type of hair I'd recommend Kevin Murphy products.

Only Curls is the way to go. Treat yourself to the starter pack and enjoy !

My adult daughter has similar hair.

She likes Phillip Kingsley and kerastase. Especially the Bain satin (I think) leave in conditioner.

She didn’t like only curls. She wants to try Ouai. I love Ouai but I have a different hair type to her, so can’t recommend if for you hair type.

Kerastase is great. So is KMS. I also like l'oreal.

Having said all that, while I totally believe that salon quality shampoos are a million times better than the supermarket stuff, you may well need other products to manage your hair.

I'm a huge fan of Innoluxe Elixir as a leave in conditioner too.

Kerastase and Redken are outstanding and always reliable (as long as you buy for your hair type).

I didn't get on with Ouai at all. Awful.

Briogeo surprised me and was really good.

I also like Philip Kingsley.

I’m also wondering whether you’d consider not using shampoo? It’s the single best thing I’ve ever done for my hair. I just use conditioner and it is perfectly clean.

If you want a real treat try Oribe. You can buy it on Space nk. It is amazing, I used to use kerastase but now I cant go back! So expensive but what a difference it makes.

I know you said expensive, but I found the Aveeno shampoo and conditioner genuinely great for my crappy hair. I have quite fine hair but a lot of it, so it's very frizzy and flyaway. I also dye it so it's a dry and damaged

Kevin Murphy & it's available on Amazon.

I tried kerastase, redken, purelogy and olaplex. My favorite is olaplex.

Davines Oi all in one milk has been a game changer for me, just brilliant for controlling my hair. I use Herbal Essences argan shampoo and conditioner though - a good high/low mix that’s performed me.

I always end up going back to the Ouai - works great for my fine, wavy/curly hair. Smells amazing and looks fab on the shower shelf too!
