What kind of Shampoo do you use?

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

Tresemme is what I used before switching to Paul Mitchell It gets the job done GREAT  

[IcyHaze 594]

Never really bothered much about brands. Morrocan oil for a while, Pantene for smooth & Wavy now. That's it really.

This good stuff right here

In any case, what kind of Shampoo do you use?

Time for a thread bump 

 

I've been using Head & Shoulders recently.

I use this stuff, it's some good stuff, I highly recommend it.

[Away 2,077]

Is it true that you should only shampoo every other day or so? I heard that using shampoo every day can damage your scalp.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,302]

Hmm... I use shampoo (such a funny word ) probably 2 out of 3 days.

 

Anyway, I like to change up what kind of shampoo I use, since using the same kind gets boring. At the moment I have this kind! It's fancy, I know.

[Overdrive 5,366]

There's a discontinued Suave I use, it's Green Apple. It's been phased out, but I find it at dollar stores all the time. Smells good, makes my hair soft, and it's cheap.

What would you guys recommend for thick, oily hair?

I would use Mane N Tail Shampoo & Conditioner, It cleans hair thoroughly, and it's great quality and low priced.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

I like Old Spice and Irish Spring always have used those.

I actually have Old Spice deodorant and I've used Irish Spring body wash and shampoo before too. Great smelling stuff.

As someone with this problem, if you've got a dime to spend I recommend Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Extract - it's expensive, though, but if the problem is bad enough, totally worth it

Yes indeedy. That and it makes your hair hard to manage. 

 

I only shampoo my hair every 3 days, but every other day is generally what's recommended

Is it hard to find in stores? Or will I have to order it online?

Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the info. Also, would you recommend a certain conditioner, or should I not use one at all? Or should we just make a separate thread for that?

[GammaDove 428]

It actually depends on what kind of conditioner you want. Do you want a leave-in or Rinse out conditioner?

What's the difference between the two?

[CheeryFox 23,819]

Pantene Pro-V. Been using it forever it seems. 

[GammaDove 428]

 

 

What's the difference between the two?

 

A Leave-in conditioner is a conditioner that you put in your hair and it stays in your hair, it causes it to look kind of oily but makes it very manageable.

A Rinse-out is a conditioner that you put into your hair and leave in for a couple minutes then rinse out, It makes the hair look cleaner and makes it so much softer, but is a little less manageable. 

[Azure Envy 1,092]

This thread made me get up and go to the bathroom to find out. I have nothing better to do today. :okiedokielokie:

 

Pantene Pro-V Daily Clean with CLINICALLY PROVEN TECHNOLOGY for HEALTHIER, CLEANER HAIR

 

Seems alright.

Manageable in what way? For what it's worth, I don't really style my hair.

It makes it easier to style, so you're going to want a Rinse-out conditioner. Most of the time, a shampoo has a rinse-out conditioner partner, so you should just go with that.

Paul Mitchell's

 

 

This!

 

Except I use the Awapuhi. I liked it so much I bought a gallon of it.

[Miles 2,512]

Heh... I used to have pretty long hair back in the day.  I still will let it grow medium long for a while, then I get it cut short.  I don't care about how long it is in the back, but once my bangs start irritating me because they keep falling into my eyes, and I keep shoving them out of the way, it's time for a hair cut.    

 

Not to brag or anything... but my hair is always really soft but sometimes it can depend on the shampoo.  

 

I used to try different ones out just for the fun of it, to see how it made my hair feel, and if it made it feel any different.  Also, I just love the different smells.  

 

For me to like a shampoo, it MUST be sudsy when I'm washing my hair.  Shampoos that don't suds up don't do well for me.  They end up somehow drying my hair out too much, making it almost frizzy.  So, the sudsier the better!  But, obviously there's more to it than that.  Other things can effect it like whether or not you use conditioner (or if what you use is typically 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, which is the norm for me) or not.

 

Now, I should also say my hair can get pretty oily, but not "overly" so, and I suspect that has something to do with it's softness.

 

---

 

So, of the shampoos I've tried, and from what I can remember about them:

Anything that's "3-in-1 body wash/shampoo/conditioner" is a hell to the N-O...  Body wash is not for your hair, silly, no matter what.  It makes your hair very tangle-y and hard to brush/comb.  Actually, the funny thing is, I use mostly "2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner" for not just my hair, but also as body wash.  Hey, it get's the job done, and it leaves your hair soft and smooth.  

 

Axe [anything] is just meh.  It's just "adequate" but not up to par with others.

 

Old Spice [anything] is, IMHO, better than Axe.  But, still not as good as actual shampoo companies' shampoos (Old Spice is like Axe, a company who tries to cover all the bases, and thus, isn't going to focus too much on whether or not their shampoo is "awesome" or just "adequate"...).

 

Suave... I'll use it only if it's all I have.  Otherwise, lol.  Yah-no... It's basically what sets the bar for being on-par (the minimum standard).  

 

Head and Shoulders - Yes!  It's good stuff.  It'll make for some real soft and snuggle-able hair.  My favorite is the 2-in-1 kind.  (Of course).

 

*cough* So, sometimes I'd [accidentally on purpose] use my mom's shampoo *cough* 
And... Let's just say she get's the good shit.  

Anything made by Tresemme is awesome.

But... her favorite (which, is probably my favorite [of the shampoos she uses])... is...

(Matrix) Biolage!  

 

 

 

 

Let's say that Head and shoulders is Grade B (Suave gets a C lol)

If Tresemme is Grade A, then Biolage is like an A+ (yes, it's that good).

 

But...  Tresemme and Biolage are expensive.  

 

So, I do have a solution, (yay)!

 

One half a tier above Head and Shoulders, and one half tier below Tresemme...
In my opinion... is...

 

Garnier Fructis!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I give Garnier a Grade A- and that's perfect for me.

 

Ironically, I'm actually out of shampoo (just ran out) at college right now.  I should get myself a green bottle of this hair-candy (dude, you've got to smell it, it's amazing).
