salon product alternatives

[sophj-26]

I would like to change my every day Loreral hair shampoo and conditioner for a better make, even a salon product. However Ive got no idea where to start. I try to take great care of my hair but i dont think a £2.50 bottle of shampoo and conditioner is the way forward. Are there any really good brands out there to look out for or would a bottle of John fedia or trevor sobie do equally a good job? I would just like it to be a bit more shiny, healthy and gernerally looked after.

Thanks

you could do worse than cut out (or down) on sulfates/sulphates in your products. it's the main ingredient in most shampoos, and also the main ingredient in washing up liquid!
I've just switched to Tresemme's Naturals shampoo, and my hair feels much better for it.

you don't need to spend a fortune to have good hair.

...the main ingredient in both is (surprise, surprise) detergent.

I generally am extremely low maintenance but one thing I spend money on is good shampoo and conditioner! Over the years I've tried quite a few brands.My favourites are Aveda Shampure and Kerastase Satin Bain.Whenever I've had no money and bought supermarket stuff my hair has looked dull and lifeless. I think you do get what you pay for. You can often get very good prices on the net.I've used lots of different beauty and hair companies with no problems.

Hi sophj,
Like you I've been trying diferent shampoos/conditioners hoping to find something that would put some moisture back in to my hair. By chance I tried a produt called 'Inecto' pure coconut smoothing hair serum. Once you've dried your hair you put a little in your hands and rub it i the hair. It isn't oily & soaks right in! Middle product here .. http://www.mrspharmac...inecto-c-152_370.html I didn't know about the other two, so I've found out something I didn't know myself! Great product and my hair feels much softer for it.

I found some of the Inecto Coconut products in Savers...for just £1 or thereabouts.

Kerastase products are great.

Yes Pasta, I get mine from a Quality save shop!

I use Redken or Tigi (from the salon) and find it really good - it lasts well, I wash my hair every day, because you don't need to use much.
