Hair shampoo

When my older daughter got married she booked sole use of a very lovely hotel for the weekend and invited close family to stay after the wedding. The products in the bathroom were all Molton Brown, which I'd never even heard of previously. I noticed straight away that the hair shampoo thickened my hair and obviously mentioned it - quite a lot it seems - because my daughter then bought me both the shampoo and conditioner as a mother's day gift. I use the conditioner very sparingly and only once a fortnight, but the shampoo I use every time I wash my hair. It is obscenely expensive (£18) so my family all take turns to buy it for me and I make it last as long as I can.

There are other shampoos by Molton Browm, but this one gives me the best results.

Has anyone tried Philip Kingsley hair products? Saw them on QVC and was tempted but its a lot to shell out and then find you don't like it.
Does nobody do free samples any more?
I have very thick naturally curly hair so my shampoo needs to be a good moisturising one.

I haven't tried Philip Kingsley hair products yet,but have heard about it,as its shampoo and conditioners are really good.

Having read this post, I bought some Molton Brown shampoo and conditioner. I found them OK but much more expensive and not as good as my normal shampo and conditioner - Aussie for Coloured Hair.

The "not tested on animalsl", though, is a definite plus.

Aveda Blue Malva shampoo and conditioner to keep silver hair silver. They're expensive but you can get big quantities on mail order and that makes it a bit cheaper over all. It's supposedly cruelty free but belongs to the same 'stable' as Clinique and Estée Lauder.

I have used MB products, but never the shampoo. For several years now I have used Ojon shampoo, conditioner and masque - I can't remember which of the big shops sell the stuff, but QVC sell it - just love it. I also have used Aveda and used to love that. I do find, though, that I have to change every so often so that my hair doesn't get used to the current favourite.

I've taken your recommendation and ordered the aveda.

I use Aveda,Rosemary flavour/smell.Its excellent gives your hair a healthy shine and you only need a very small amount to lather.lasts ages. Tempted to try Liz Earle new shampoo, I use her facial products.

I don't think you'll regret that, Galen.

I have skin and eye allergies so avoid any hair or bath products containing parabens or sodium lauryl sulphate. I use DGJ (Daniel Galvin Junior) Organics, which does not contain these chemicals. I buy these in Waitrose for about £5.00 a bottle
