Want to invest in a great shampoo

32 replies

I am turning 40 soon and I have decided this year will be the year I invest in myself!

So with that in mind I am looking for a great shampoo/conditioner, salon style! I have pretty thin hair and it’s just a bit dull, it never looks that different. I did buy a style hairdryer which I like but I would love more volume and shine.

Any ideas? thank you!

Would also recommend Aveda, especially Pure Abundance shampoo or Shampure shampoo and Phomollient styling foam- AMAZING stuff for fine hair…

I use pureology hydrate (purple bottle) and the L’Oréal pink glycolic conditioner (you can get this in supermarkets and boots etc) - a great combo!

Oh yes, and when I can afford it, Aveda Botanical Repair Mask

Redken All Soft has changed my life- its expensive but you honestly only need a tiny amount of it so it lasts absolutely ages.

Yes this!!! Or alfaparf illuminating shampoo

I’ve probably tried most of the salon hair products, it’s my guilty pleasure! The best at the upper price range of lovely shampoo and conditioner is Oribe or Sebastian. I’m addicted to trying hair products and splurge on them. In my opinion Oribe is the best ever available but very spendy.
My next favourites (still spendy just not as much as the 2 above) are Kerastase and Pureology.

after that I’d probably go for L’Oréal Professional or Redken. I’ve never been a fan of Aveda personally, it does nothing for my hair but works for a lot.
