pert plus & other shampoos

i love shampoo

i like how refreshing it feels

i haven't exactly ever used pert plus, but i used to really like the commercials

what about shampoo commercials?

the shampoo i most frequently use is a bar of soap

you fucking hair-ists

pert plus is a good shampoo! I like really pampering nice-smelling shampoos though. karma komba shampoo bar from lush, mmmmm

I think if a lot of people who knew me saw how ridiculously self-pampering my grooming bag was they would be secretly so jealous

that is so nice!

good thread--i've never really thought about shampoo but it is totally great now that i'm thinking about it.

i feel like i want to go take a shower

Cant use any supermarket shampoos. theyre all heavily loaded with perfume and they strip all the oils out of my hair. Ugghhh Herbal Essences et al are the worst.

I like Joico, and Redken.

i feel like it doesn't take much to over-shampoo my head. "lather, rinse, repeat" is crazy-talk.

repeat is just to sell more shampoo!

i don't think i've ever repeated and i've had some long and messy hair

i ALWAYS thought repeat was to sell more shampoo! ever since i was a little kid

it's pretty brilliant from a marketing standpoint--convince ppl to use literally twice as much shampoo per day.

yeah it's pretty bold strategy... like when they show a model's hand FILLING UP with this huge pile of shampoo... gross. i use about as much shampoo as i use toothpaste.

My dad used to use Prell shampoo and Gleem toothpaste, lol.

But yeah sulfates are kinda scary, I use a tiny but of shampoo to get some of the grease out but I never "lather"

Shampooing twice makes sense if you've got product in your hair, because the first one (using a tiny tiny amount) breaks up the product and the second gets it all out. This is from memory btw, I can't qualify this in 2011 because I have got no fucking hair.

Pert plus is pretty good!

Yeah there is no need to use v much shampoo or so repeat.

I am currently using some herbal essences stuff and some suave that was like a buck. They both smell vaguely coconutty and nice.

I saw Salon Selectives shampoo the other day in

what is the commercial with the lady orgasming because of her shampoo?

kibbles 'n' bits

makes its own gravy iirc

I used to be all Lush all day. karma komba in the tin carrying pellet thing, vegannaise for condition, some of the nice hair treatment things every so often (they have these "smear this into dry hair and wash it out" deals that are just luxurious and decadent). and the little bottles of liquid soap which they stopped having because they wanted to have less bottles but omg lush I can't carry stupid wiggly bath gels if I'm traveling every day wtf. also there's an awesome skin cream from fresh that's super-expensive but seriously lasts forever, like, years, you only use a tiny bit every day so I got one of those once.

but then last tour I was so exhausted by this whole year that I didn't even bring any of my stuff & just used hotel shampoo & as a result my hair looked awful every day and I was like "deal with it world my hair can't always be fabulous sometimes I got other stuff on my mind"

i am sorry but you must have smelled like a bouquet of hallmark stores after all that lush shit

the bubblebaths are nice tho

ooh man yeah the cerdwyn's cauldron bath thing is great

i used to have a shampoo archive so i could remember the smells of old shampoos. i threw them away during a big move, and regret it to this day because how am i ever going to smell these shampoos again? they've changed their formulas.
ones i miss:
original pert plus
old pantene
old finesse
this other one in an orange bottle that i forget the name of
strawberry white rain
probably some more that i've forgotten :(

but man, have i loved some shampoos

oh wow white rain, I rocked that one myself waaaaay back in the day

old finesse

They are selling this and old school salon selectives (1/2 my post got eaten up there) at Walgreens!!!

Lush hair products have never worked for me. Wait that's not true - I liked the pink solid shampoo but the conditioners were always bad on my hair. I do like lush bath bombs and bubble bars though. Also, the lip balms.

seriously? selling old school finesse? i remember it smelled like perms.

x-post - Yep in the exact same blue bottles and everything.

original pert plus has to be one of the most evocative smells of my youth

can't someone make my dreams come true and open a smelling museum? please?

My favorite shampoo and conditioner is TIGI oatmeal and honey and it smells like oatmeal raisin cookies but it's more of a fall/wintery smell so I don't use it in the summer.

lush lip balms dehydrate my tender lips which require extreme pampering!! nanak's lip smoothie lip balms only please

what is the commercial with the lady orgasming because of her shampoo?

herbal essences

pert glows in the dark. try it.

yes!

i used to use white rain! loved it

i would very much like to like lush but they are so aggressive in the stores and some of the scents give me hives. enbb, have you been to 'melt' in coolidge corner? it is the same thing as lush but a little more grown-up. i smell like vetiver and lemon verbena now.

i write like hemingway too

I love coconutty smells. I remember being really envious of the girls whose parents could afford Nexxus shampoo. Oh, and Paul Mitchell.

also i don't think i ever had more dandruff in my life than when i used head and shoulders on the reg

NEXXUS gets you noticed

holy wow there are a lot of product reviews on youtube

Grossest shampoo smell? That weird candy smelling purple Aussie stuff. Never liked that much.

The smell of that Aussie shit, ughhh

LOL xp

lol remy I took one of the kids I worked with to lunch at Zaftig's last year and we went into Melt. We must have been in there for a hour listening to the salesgirl's spiel. She kept referring to their competitor "the other store which can't be named". I bought a body butter, orange iirc and it was pretty nice but really expensive? I feel like it was almost $20 for a smallish tub. It was definitely nice though.

Best shampoo ever.

Again for the care of hairs. In olden days, they were using only good coconut oil and nothing else. Today all sorts of shampoos and creams have come in bazaar; still the lice have not vacated the head...

...these 'guests' (lice!) are being treated to Royal Luxury of a shampoo and conditioner, et al; so why would they relinquish all this and go elsewhere?!!!

lol ENBB

ENBB - Me too! I have a little collection of airline amenity kits too. One of them has a razor in it!

Those were the days, eh?

lol AWESOME.

to think I used to just steal pointless shit from hotels.......

x-post - Yeah they were.

Lol hoarding, more like :-/
My latest is from Pakistan Airlines, and it had cologne in it. The whole bag smells like that now.

Do you all just buy shampoo for what it smells like??? doesnt anyone get stuff that is good for their hair? (hint: cheap shampoos arent: theyre chock full of detergent which strips all the oil out of yr hair; if it foams up heaps, its not the best)

I don't really care what it does for my hair because nothing is going to make it look *that* much better or worse -- I would (personally) rather have a positive/meaningful smell experience to start my day. I also hate my hair, so there's that too,

idk mostly i think all cleaning products are the same unless you're buying really cheap stuff

http://www.chagrinvalleysoapandcraft.com/shambar.htm <--- smells good, good for your hair, cheap

I am not viral marketing for those shampoos, btw.

what is the "king of herbs"?

Dunno. I use the coconut milk one in the summer and the honey beer and egg one in the winter.

i have to change my shampoo smells regularly or i have trouble noting the passage of time
for real

I have a whole toiletry bag filled with mini bottles for emergencies or weekend trips or whatever. ._.

i JUST did this using stuff i swiped from a hotel a couple of months ago for my recent nyc trip - was so happy that i kept onto them

I really do experience a large diff between quality shampoos and cheap supermarket stuff - the latter leaves my hair dry, brittle and effed up. Even supposedly good stuff like Pantene.

But I have particularly difficult hair (v v fine, straight, thin and mostly grey) so it needs extra TLC I suspect. My flatmate could wash his hair with a bar of soap and it'd still come out glossy and thick and dead straight, the &%^%$%

lately i have been into things like lemongrass or citrus shampoo

it's invigorating

BRANDS PLZ

actually the one we have now is the trader joe shampoo! it is the balanced moisturizing shampoo with botanicals -- and it has things like rosemary and orange citrus in it

I use this: Joico K-Pak. It costs $25 a bottle so some ppl prob think I am mentalist but whatevs. It reeeallly works.

http://www.haironthebrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Joico-K-pak-Color-Therapy-Shampoo-conditioner.jpg

I am kind of bummed out because I appear to be allergic to everything in shampoo these days. Even the natural herbs and oils stuff. So there's about $50 in shampoos I can't use without breaking out in my bathroom.

Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil shampoo and J.R. Liggett's shampoo bars are all I have left. I feel like Julianne Moore in Safe.

apparently i'm currently using a bottle of some suave 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner stuff \(^o^)/

i like the idea of all of us going to the bathroom and checking

Half the time I have to use stinky coal tar shampoo cos of my scalp problems :( ;_;

xpost hahaha, me too! can't think of many things besides ilx that'd make it so that i'd be looking in the shower to see what kind of shampoo i have at 1 AM like i just was

I've used a lot of expensive shampoos and always somehow manage to come back to Head & Shoulders or Pert Plus because they're the best cheap shampoos on the market.

yea i like head and shoulders

the last time i splurged on product was like a year ago. i got a pump bottle of aveda clove shampoo. yum!

mostly i just rub a bit of dr bronners peppermint in when i need a rinse. there's also a bottle of suave making a permanent ring on the shelf. that stuff's kinda nasty.

i love zum bar soap! oatmeal-lavendar is very refreshing.

It's all about Tresemme for me! I should switch though, it's been several years - I can't even 'smell' it in my 'head' so to speak

goddamn lush is expensive. but it is less expensive than the aveda shit my wife is buying for shampoo right now which I am using and which smells good.

i buy this organic vegan tree sap shit from a hippie grocer in my nabe it drys my hair out and smells like nothing but its supposed to be super good for the environment so

I stopped using shampoo about two years ago and my hair went from being awful and thin and dry to thick and wonderful and now I love it.

Though I was at a hotel a few months ago and they had this crabtree and Evelyn shit that smelt SO GOOD that I swiped like 4 bottles bcz i wanted my hair to smell like it all of the time. I forget what scent it was, though.

When Jeff was in Hong Kong for two weeks, his hotel shampoo/soap/lotion was L'Occitane and he did not steal two weeks worth of wee L'Occitane products for me and frankly I may never get over it.

I used to care a lot more but since my hormones started behaving or whatever my hair's been much easier to manage. we have like four litres of tresemme in the shower, some charles worthingtons I use because my hair is gloriously smooth after using, and some head and shoulders (we both have black hair...).

Lush ones are great, I'm out of them at the moment but should restock soon. Big (the sea salt one) is surprisingly great and the fruity one I forget the name of is great too. I use Redken products but strangely not their shampoos - are they any good?

i have one of those 4 liter tresemmes as well, love

i have to use T-GEL from time to time to keep my scalp in order, it is horrible ;_;

elmo, I used that stuff for years before I realized it was causing the problem (SLS). It stinks for sure.

I use shampoo rarely, but love the minty rosemary scent of Kiss Your Face Miss Treated. In my memory's nose, I can still smell Salon Selectives conditioner, Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific, and some wheat germ oil and honey stuff I used throughout high school.

i'll tell you a secret: one of the things i enjoy the most about staying at friends' houses when i'm travelling is using their shampoo! i really like using other people's shampoo, for some reason!

are u sure u didn't mean to post this in the fetish thread? :P

lol

As soon as I read "wheat germ and honey" I could smell that shampoo.

I always enjoyed Agree as well. Also when did we stop saying "cream rinse"?

Hotel Shampoo is inspired by, and takes its title from, Gruff’s extensive collection of mini shampoo bottles and complimentary hotel products acquired whilst touring the world. “Having never kept a journal these items have become like diary entries, triggering memories of all those buildings and random people I’ve met and inspiring songs on the album.”

Yeah elmo I use TGEL as well, bad psoriasis all up in my head :(

Stinks, that crap does.

i alternate between trader joe's tea tree tingle shampoo and deva curl's "no-poo" conditioning cleanser. the deva stuff is expensive, so i try to go easy with it.

used to use aveda's "be curly" but, like i said, expensive... plus, i can't deal with the staff in the aveda stores, always upselling.

this thread has convinced me to get a bottle of pert plus!

what shampoos are good for really thin hair? volumizing or w/e
