Shampoos and conditioners

Alright, so for the past year or so I've been using Garnier Fructis shampoo and conditioner - their Length and Strength, Sleek and Shine, Shine Burst, and Wonder Waves - with the occasional dash of other brands

Try these: http://www.iherb.com/J-R-Liggett-s or something without sodium laureth sulfate. SLS is what strips your hair of it's natural, GOOD oils and these bars are free of it. This coupon code (LOT925) might still work to give you $5 off your first order from iherb.com. :) Actually, even with SLS-free shampoo, it's better to only wash 1-2 times a week and use conditioner or something in between... conditioner actually has stuff in it that helps clean your hair, and if you're pretty thorough about scrubbing your scalp to help it along, it does a great job and your hair smells awesome. :) Yes, I'm a shampoo-free freak (well, not totally...) and my hair has never been better. I have really thick, but VERY fine, short, light brown/blonde, STRAIGHT hair, and this has given it so much more bounce and shine. I'm even thinking of growing it out now that it doesn't stick so flat to my head! It's also stopped the scalp itching I had problems with. Sorry to ramble, just had to get my success story in there, though of course everyone is going to have success with different things because of different body chemistry, if you're interested I can get some links for other ideas for you. :)

Hehe, it's okay. *grins* I completely understand the desire to share hair stories. ^_^

I'll have to check that all out! Like I said, I wash my hair every other day, or every third day, so I don't really shampoo too often or anything. The whole "stripping hair of natural oils" is one of the reason I mostly just shampoo my scalp, to get rid of the excess stuff, and then let the suds rinse through the rest of my hair, because that cleans it. Then condition the length, because my scalp always has enough oils and stuff left that adding more just makes it greasy and nasty far too soon.
