Shampoo recommendations for meno hair please

What shampoo/conditioner do all you lovely ladies in your 50/60’s use please? My fine, typically greasy hair changed to dry and brittle, then shed dreadfully, now seems thinner but normal shedding. Grew out my highlights so the dryness from the colour has all but gone and it is no longer the puffy ball it had become but it just doesn’t look in great condition. I’ve gone through all brands of shampoo from Olaplex, to Elvive bond repair and am just finishing Kerastase Genesis. What next? I’d hoped the Kerastase would help it’s condition, maybe it has, but it never looks sleek when blowdried and is now back to needing washed every 3 days where I was getting 5 days from it a few months back.

I’ve switched Collagen brands and can see lots of new growth around my hairline so guess that’s a positive but would like a nice shampoo and conditioner, heat protectant as well, I guess. Any suggestions please?

I changed to Pureology hydrate sheer moisturising for my greasy root/dry ends coloured meno hair and it has made the world of difference. I am very careful about how I use it - really small amount of shampoo, focussing on the scalp then take extra care to rinse out. Comb conditioner in the ends then again make sure to reallly rinse. But I am amazed how much better my hair looks and stays looking good so much longer.
