Best Shampoo/conditioner for highlighted longish hair?

[Jewelsandgems]

My hair is highlighted with pale beige blonde tones and is just below shoulder length (picture on profile) Keeping it this colour is fine, but I do find I am getting a certain amount of dryness and my blonde is not as bright as when first done.

Have used the John Frieda blonde products in the past but have never been that impressed with them.

Can anyone recommend a good shampoo/condtioner that will give good condition, and keep the colour bright? (plus my hair is fine, so something that is not to 'heavy' if pos)

Thanks!

is the Keratase stuff really expensive?

Redken are owned by Nestle, so I spit in their general direction.

Head & Shoulders smooth and silky - I have had consistently excellent results from this.

Firstly, thanks for all the advice. So, I am thinking Aveda brilliance first (I do prefer products as natural as pos) but, failing that, the Redken and Keratase (have used keratase before in the green bottle but it made my hair fall out - aparently a well-known side effect of that particular shampoo/conditioner duo!)

I do use the GHD hair oil wih my GHDs but I use it very sparingly, and wondered if their was another product not so heavy that I can use liberally so ensure high level protection given?

Also, am going to start a different thread on the merits of fringes....I like the leavy long kaye mossy style one, but not sure I could a) pull it off or b) get pissed off with it being always in my eyes...
You know when you have your hair appt approaching and you start looking at different styles?....

I have used Keratase and find it too heavy for my hair - leaves it feeling greasy at the roots.

I now use either Redken all soft or Loreal Serie Expert - the Loreal one is fantastic for coloured hair.

I also straighten my hair a lot and use Paul Mitchel Super Skinny Serum on it before i dry it - I've found it works well and my hairdresser always says that my hair is in good condition due to the products i use.

Oh Bugger. I didn't know that Nestle own Redken.

The MOP stuff mentioned earlier (Modern Organic Products) do some really good styling products, as do Aveda. I use the C-system spray by MOP, the range is available at Boots online as well as in salons.
