I might have to work Sexy Hair Concepts into my otation with Aveda. I'm obsessed with natural shampoos and conditioners.

PANTENE IS THE DEVIL!!!!

Thats one reason why i dont use pantene, another reason is because of all the build up on the hair it causes, it can(doesnt mean it will) cause hair color and perms not to take.

I use biolage or other matrix products and have been quite happy :)

I didn't know that!! Thank you... What a bunch of heartless idiots. I use beer in my hair once a week for conditioner. A big ol' can of PBR. Try it!

I had been using Bioloage for a couple of months and noticed that with conditioner my hair wasn't very soft and quite tangly so I went to the Clinique counter to get some lotion and bought the shampoo and conditioner and can't tell you how great it is. A day after the hair has been washed, it's not greasy, very soft and quite manageable, smells great, and makes my hair feel much better. No more tangles here!

I don't like Pantene for the same greasy reasons everyone has mentioned. My boyfriend uses it, though.

I am going to try Garnier Fructisse, I think.

This is why I love the search button and why the Pantene I just bought is going back to the store.

Here is a very helpful book if you want to learn all about hair care products. Also, just because a product is inexpensive or comes from a drugstore (the horror!) does not mean it's bad for your hair. Remember -- Estee Lauder owns several drugstore brands, just as L'Oreal owns Lancome. :)

I love Pantene's smell, but it breaks my hair off. I even tried their ethnic line and same results. My hairdresser scolded me something awful. No more Pantene for me. They need to create a non animal tested body wash because it smells so clean.

I use Garnier and LOVE it - especially the 3 minute Deep conditioner.

I sometimes will use Dove, which I do like too. Its Intense Moisture line is NO JOKE!:eek: :) It is great for dry hair.

I've never cared for Pantene. I thought it made my hard hard and dry.

I absolutely LOVE Biolage. Every once in awhile I forget how much I love in and try something else and my hair gets weird and dry. Then I switch back to Biolage (I use the color care line) and i remember why it's SO worth it. A lot of times I'll see it at beauty supply stores for 2 for $20 of the huge bottles so I'll snap them up! It ends up costing about the same as drugstore brands!

I tried Garnier Fructis. I bought two different kinds... the one for growing long hair/split ends, and the one for frizzy hair. I did the frizzy hair shampoo and long hair conditioner. LOVED IT! My hair felt clean but not stripped of oils, when I was rinsing out my conditioner I wasn't pulling out chunks of hairs (Pantene didn't really take knots out very well), and it smelled GREAT-- still does after being outside!

BUT I tried their volumizing mousse and I don't like the way my hair feels and it's still kinda frizzy.


ETA: I just posted this in the Flat Iron thread, but I used BioSilk shampoo and conditioner today. I think this is my favorite now and it smells really good. It only took 10 minutes to blow my hair out straight and it looks decent and is really soft.
