Shampoo dilemma

I use good old Vosene medicated shampoo, don't see the point of spending a lot on hair products. Never use conditioner.

OP

Only wash my hair every three days and use Klorane shampoo mostly ( it’s lovely) not sold in many places so we order online.Sometimes buy the Aussie shampoo for a change, it seems to be good, and yes, don’t use too much as well.I never use conditioner.

Having has flu I have not washed my hair for a while - and it looks loads better!

I have to buy organic non-allergenic products because I have had excema in my hair and have skin allergies. Having said that I just walk into Holland and Barrett and buy which ever organic non-allergenic shampoo and conditioner matches my bathroom decor.

I really do not think there is anything to choose between the different products. The base for all of them is the same base as used in washing up liquid and the rest of it is scent, minute quantities (1% or less, usually) of substances supposed to be good for hair and advertising hype.

I read that the best thing you can do for your hair is shampoo it less often and use less shampoo. I used to do mine daily as it was very Wurzel Gummage but now I wash and shampoo every three days and its much better and takes up far less time and electricity!

I agree too much choice is confusing , I thought I'd stop using conditioner for a couple of days, to be honest it's now 8 days without and I cannot see any difference in my hair in fact it's actually a bit more manageable I'll use it once in a while from now on .

Reminds me of the time I was walking past a Chinese herbalist practice. There was a poster in the window "Do you have ..." then listing a variety of ailments. I had slight elements of them all except one for which I lacked the necessary equipment!

I know what you mean about shampoos too. Mine is coloured, fine, dry, damaged and can be dull sometimes. Other times (very few) it swishes around like a Harmony hairspray advert. at least I think it does; others may disagree. Makes me wonder how our mums managed when it was dandruff shampoo or not and conditioner was a once in a while treat. --
