its funny everyones listing garnier, vo5, pantene, l'oreal, because they're all the worst shampoos/conditioners you can use because they're packed to the brim with silicone. silicone = product build up, product build up = lank dull hair!

i practically hate every drugstore line, minus herbal essences or aussie. i never ever use any drugstone line conditioners. i try to use paul mitchell instant moisture or alterna repair.

-Drugstore shampoos (with the exception of V05 Kiwi Lime-the most gentle clarifier I have ever used!)

-Most of the products geared towards "ethnic hair"

TiGi Moisture Maniac is by far the worst shampoo I have ever used, including drugstore brands. It absolutely did a number on my scalp, completely dried it out and I had scabs everywhere from it! Also, it dried out my hair completely. I had to go to a pharmacy and get a special medicated shampoo to sort out the issues the TiGi one caused. ABSOLUTELY WORST SHAMPOO EVER!

The Dove shampoo & cond for coloured hair is another horrendous product. Build up like you wouldn't believe and the smell is overpowering. Yuck.

Sometimes I go back to drugstore stuff just to try it out and save some money, but the results are so terrible that I just stick with my good quality, albeit expensive, salon products.

Oh also, the L'Oreal Studio Line styling products (remember the packaging straight out the 90s), do absolutely NOTHING!

It's weird because the L'Oreal Professionel products are really amazingly good.

Pantene shampoo gave me DANDRUFF! My momma had to spend all afternoon combing it out of my hair (this was like in 4th grade).. gross!

GHD heat protection spray. I switched from my usual Lee Stafford spray (amazing stuff) to this once because I figured if GHD are the Kings of hair straighteners then their protection spray must be the best on the market. How wrong was I. It made my hair so crispy and when I used heat over it it seemed to fry my hair (and I only used a tiny bit!).

Kerastase conditioners make my hair super greasy.

Everyone's hair is different though so what doesn't work for one person works wonders for another. A lot of the products people have listed here are amazing on my hair.

Pantene seems to spend all their money on models/advertisement instead of the products. I tried this stuff a couple of times and each time I got yucky, hard-to-get-out flakes! Might just be my reaction but you can bet I will NEVER buy this crud again!

I can't use pantene either!

Lately I've been having a LOT of breakage, and my scalp is super dry, and no drugstore product works. I'm trying herbal essences conditiong shampoo/ conditioner, and that may be working. But it makes my hair really fluffy (not a usual thing), so I may have to just bite the bullet and try an expensive product

For me, I bought this shampoo and conditioner from Waitrose. It's called Umi and as far as I can tell it's UK only and manufactured just for this supermarket. It's meant to be avocado and rosehip for 'glossy hair' but it made my hair so disgusting, all tangly and flat and dry and straggly. UK girls stay away! I'm going to have to suck it up and buy something pricier and better quality because my hair's horrible now.
