No, I'm not a hairdresser but I really don't like drugstore stuff! Well also I'm a product whore LOL. Drugstore stuff dries my hair out, and doesn't protect my color. The only drugstore thing I use is Clairol Salon Glaze to boost up my hair color. Like that John Frieda Glaze almost ruined my hair it got so dry! I love TiGi, everything smells so good! And a lot of other brands. LOL.

I'm a firm believer in professional products however I also think that if you find something cheap that does the same thing without damaging your hair, then go for it, hence all the Got2b products. I don't actually use them that much anymore because I have a different hairstyle, but I keep them because occasionally I will use them. lol.

I have lots of stuff because I've tried just about everything out there, so here is a list of my faves:


Shampoo - Giovanni Triple Tea Treat. My hair hates SLS so I only use SLS-Free shampoos. This one rocks. It lathers nicely, albeit not as much as a normal shampoo, and it has mint so it gives your scalp a cool, tingly feeling. As a plus it also does such a great job of cleansing that I never need to use a clarifier.

Conditioner - L'Oreal Nature's Therapy Mega Moistrure Treatment (It's a deep treatment but I use it like normal conditioner).

Deep Treatment - Aphogee Keratin Reconstructor 1 X Week
Aphogee Protein Treatment before coloring.

Styling Products - Fakai Glossing Cream before blowdry. Beyond the Zone Turn Up the Heat before Straightening/Curling Iron. A dab of Beyond the Zone Getting Creamed after straightening. L'Oreal Vive Smooth Intense serum on occasion.

I use myhoney child fragrance free stuff, because its coconut free.

Conditioner- Biolage conditioning balm

Styling-
Sebastian potion nine

You can buy it at the pharmacy, its a drugstore product.

Speaking of hair products, I need to buy a new conditioner, mine's almost done and Matrix isn't available here in Switzerland.

John Frieda brilliant brunette Satin Shine finishing creme! = 0

i rub a pea size amount to my hair after it has been washed and blow dried and it makes my hair feel really soft, calms static and frizz, not greasy at all, and when i finger comb a little on my bangs, it gives it a little seperation and brightens my color a little..
i also put it on my hair before i put it in a ponytail because when i decide to take my ponytail down, it somehow prevents my hair from getting those little dent marks that rubberbands leave.

theyre usually around $4.99 but last month i went to target and they made a mistake on the price and i bought 5 of them for $1.50 each.. i know.. im crazy lol

[vica]

oh yea and i have fine, thin hair ^

[juicyaddict]

recent purchase is oscar blandi dry shampoo. love it! i put it on my brush/comb and brush just my crown area and bangs. it really picks up the oil and gives volume.
i also like kerastase masquintense. this saved my over-processed hair long time ago.
i have thick straight hair.

[frocher]

Oscar Blandi all the way, his stuff leaves my hair shiny and soft. I have very thick, wavy hair.

[Hilly]

Rusk- Wired!

I have very fine, straight hair. Normal, or can get slightly oily at the roots depending on weather.

Matrix Amplify Color XL shampoo -- one of the best volumizing shampoos I've tried.

Bumble & Bumble Tonic Lotion -- this doesn't do too much by itself, but it's a HG product for me before I add any other hair product. It prevents all the other stuff from weighing my hair down (or spritz a little if you put too much goop on by accident). I have a little spritz bottle of this in my purse to refresh my hair during the day as well. Also works well to soften hair and makes it easier to comb (wet or dry).

Bumble & Bumble Styling Lotion -- volume & texture (esp when blow dried), light hold, doesn't weigh my hair down.

Dove Fly-away Tamer -- HG! it keeps all those little wispy flyaways out of my face and if I use it regularly, I notice I get less of the wisps over time b/c it keeps my fine hair from breaking. Also, doesn't get icky or sticky in heat or humidity, and doesn't weigh my hair down even if I put in a lot of it. It's also super cheap.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum!

I have thick, wavy hair that reaches a couple inches past my shoulders. Someone recommended this serum for me because I've been frying my hair to death with blowdrying and flat ironing. I use one pump before I blowdry, and my blowdry time is now shortened to 5 minutes. And on most days I don't even need to follow up with my flat iron, whereas before this serum I had the urge to flat iron every single day.

[xsnowwhite]

I have super curly hair but i flatiron it basically everyday some of my faves includee:

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum: this product is a definite must! It makes my hair glossy and keeps it from frizzing!
Matrix Smoothing Shampoo: this is one of my favorite shampoos.
Herbal Essences Body Envy Mousse: love this mousse! Plus it smells awesome
Herbal Essences None Of Your Frizziness Shampoo/Conditioner: great for the price, and it smells soo good.
John Frieda Blonde Beach Wave Spray: this stuff is really good for when I want wavy ish hair or when I want to curl it w/ a curling iron. I dont think they make this stuff anymore though

[VioletB]

Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx shampoo, conditioner, and mask.. best stuff ever it makes your hair feel SOOO soft

Redken Smooth Down butter treat deep conditioner.. Good stuff for very dry hair

Chi Silk infusion.. smooths my hair and protects it from heat!!!

Sleek Look Iron Smoother.. Best flatiron spray. Protects and makes flatiriong super easy.

Sleek Look straight polish.. best holding non-watery pomade

Kenra Volume Spray.. super hold finishing spray.. holds my "big utah hair" in place and you only need a little bit! Easy to brush out too.


I have super course dry hair that has been chemically relaxed!!

[MisaMayah]

Wow thanks guys so many things to check out!

Keep 'em coming =)

[MissChievous]

Neutrogena Anti-Residue shampoo - I use this only once in a while to remove build up, definitely gets the job done and it's cheap! Has a bit of an odd smell and the packing is ugly, but it works!!

Wella System Profesional Enrich Balm - great leave in treatment that smells lovely and makes my hair so soft.

L'Oreal Vive serum - comes in an orange pump dispenser, a great serum that leaves my hair silky smooth after flat ironing it

Rausch Avocado Hair cream - a Swiss product made of avocado oil, it's a leave-in cream you apply to the ends of your hair that nourishes them and prevents split ends.

I have mid length-long hair that is THICKTHICKTHICK (I mean really, super thick!) that has a lot of body...I should try some of that Super Skinny Serum (say that 3x fast)....A couple of you on this thread have posted about it...I've been looking for a good Serum-type product...My hair has so much body that in the humid weather (which we're prone to in the Connecticut summers) it has a tendency to get frizzy and out of control....There are downsides to having full, thick hair, too Anyway, this sounds like it may be the answer to my hair troubles...Thanks!
