Shampoo, Expensive vs. Less Expensive

My best is any shampoo diluted with water. I use my own home made conditioner. Eggs, lemon and grape oil... What makes your hair look good is not shampoo but conditioner....:)

I am a hair dresser and have been for years..I have had more college and hair studies than anyone i know of..The fact is you got taken in by a sales pitch..They buy that high dollar shampoo for a very low price and double sometimes triple the price to their customers, its just another way of making money...There is all kinds of shampoo out there and it is basically all the same..Cheap shampoo is just as good as the expensive kind..None of it will help you keep your color any longer..Prell is the harshest shampoo..Sauve will do just fine..Now when it comes to conditioner, that a different matter...Real cheap conditioner is like a cream rinse..You will need something a lttle better , but suave conditioner is fine..There is nothing in the expensive stuff thats not in the cheaper stuff..What you are paying for with the expensive stuff??????? you are paying for the "Name"

There is very little difference between shampoos, but you need to find the best one for your hair. My husband can use the Sauve stuff no problem, but it dried my hair out so I have to spend a bit more. When I dye my hair is use the Pantene brand for colored hair. I really like it and I find that it doesn't fade my color out, dry my hair, or over condition my hair.

I have tried a lot of brands of shampoo. Suave is a great low cost shampoo that has a lot of different scents, which I'm buying again. I couldn't see any difference in my hair and decided why spend lots for shampoo that wasn't improving my hair.

Try Dove shampoo for color-treated hair. I love Dove shampoo and tried that one when it came out, when I was still coloring my hair. My husband is happy with Suave, and I am happy with some Suave products, the nicer, creamier shampoos, but spending just a little more for Dove shampoo is worth it to me. My hair feels so good when I rinse it and it "wears" well, too. I love Dove products.

Hey there... I work as a Nurse's Aid, and one of my clients went to beauty school in 1952... We were discussing my very straw-looking hair one day, and she told me to give myself a hot OLIVE oil treatment. I started doing that, and within the first month, my hair became SO shiny and silky, it was unbelievable! She also told me that it does NOT matter what shampoo we use, but that we *do* need to switch off every other day between two shampoos, as using one shampoo will cause buildup on the hair that makes our hair look dull and lifeless. I also do that, switch off my shampoos. I *do* have to get back in the hot olive oil treatment... I also color my hair. My client prescribed my program like this: First month, weekly treatments. Second month, every 2 weeks, third month and thereafter, 1x/month. Switch off shampoos every other day, and for conditioner? She also said that doesn't matter, either. HTH! Katt

I'm sure you will get many different opinions on this topic. My daughter-in-law is a cosmotologist and was told in school that there is very little difference in the expensive shampoos and hair products and the over-the-counter shampoos and hair products. Apparently if one gets a mid-priced over-the-counter brand it is just fine for hair! Again, I'm sure there are schools which would have taught her differently.

I use Suave. I've used it for years. I like it better than anything else I've used, and I've used some expensive shampoos. I like it better than any of the other less expensive shampoos as well.

I hate the shampoo that my hair dresser uses. It always feels like it makes my hair heavy-feeling. I use Aussie shampoos and conditioners. They aren't very expensive, a little goes a long way. If my hair needs conditioning, I use Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. I've always rotated shampoo, though. My other shampoo choice is Tresseme. It's relatively inexpensive, too.

i do know that all shampoos have crap in them though... best one is abba vegan shampooo

I used to use the most expensive crap for my damaged hair. Finally, I got sick of spending so much, so I stopped. I bought Pantene or however you spell it instead, and I also got a pretty cheap bottle of spray to use after the shower to help with damaged hair. You should try something like that.
