Shampoo treat for straight, fine, bleh hair?

I have some birthday money and thought I would give my hair a little treat.

I know there have been threads on fancy shampoos but I need one specifically for my fine, very straight (but not stylishly so), prone to greasiness, but dry from a misguided attempt at bleaching hair.

I need something that will make my hair shiny and swingy

Really, elvive? I tend to stay away from most high street shampoos, except Aussie. I was wondering whether to bite the bullet and try green people, or was thinking Aveda for a nice treat. I'm wondering whether chemical overload is not doing my hair any favours.

don't bother with organic stuff, i find it very stripping. aveda is good, worth a try as it lasts ages so not really that expensive apart from the outlay.

i have only ever found one shampoo i loved and it was ouidad curly from america, it might as well be liquid diamond for the price of getting it shipped here.

otherwise try to avoid sls, change often and use a really good conditioner.

I have the pink elvive too - have the light version which means my hair doesn't feel greasy quickly.

Have also started using a small blob of mark hill straightening balm which makes my hair look really finished. I have v straight hair anyway but it just seems to hold my hair together better and means that I don't need to wash it the next day.

I'd recommend Elvive too, but the Smooth-Intense one (shampoo and conditioner). It's supposed to be for frizzy hair but mine isn't, it's long, dead straight and fine.

I find it makes my hair even straighter and very smooth. Rather like straight hair that's been gone over with hair straighteners IYSWIM.
