Cheap Shampoo and Conditioner

monica · Kenneth Cole

i recommend brilliant brunette (or blond).. the whole line a great price for the product.

also, i like garnier fructis b/c it's light, washes clean, and smells great.

I agree, Garnier Fructis is really great cheap shampoo. My stylist at my v expensive salon actually told me that the stuff the use in their salon is pretty much the same stuff but more expensive. I guess it's made by the same people.

I like fructis too, but I love Aussie, both the Mega and Moist; they make shampoo, conditioners and the 3-minutes miracle wich is really good. I think they have a version of the products also for colored hair.

I think we have the same hair Drew (except mine is short). Currently I use Herbal Essences shampoo and Pantene Volumizing conditioner. I find that Fructis is too heavy for me.

crystal · Kate Spade

i love pantene... it's always been my fave, ever since i tried it in grade school!! right now my hair is short so i just use the shampoo + conditioner. my hair reacts great to it! they have any kinda products u could want tho, clarifying shampoos, deep conditioners, etc. just read the bottle to see what they do & u can easily find something. plus it's only like 3 bucks a bottle!

Hi Drew!

I think we have similar hair and Fructis is pretty good. I'm not a fan of Pantene for our fine hair though.

e_doli · Dooney & Bourke

I have thick but fine hair (i think this is kind of what you're saying yours is like) and i am loving brilliant brunette shampoo and conditioner right now.

rocky · Coach

ditto on brilliant brunette

also my SO has really fine hair and Aussie does wonders for him.

Suave now makes a fructis knock-off if you want to go even cheaper....like me!

Maddie · Coach

I think Fructis sleek and shine might be good for you. It's a little light for my hair. I love Fructis though, I've used fancy brands and I really cant tell the difference.

Joina · Kenneth Cole

Ditto on Fructis. I went on a trip with some of my gfs and they had forgotten their shampoo/conditioner so they started using mine. I guess you can call us the Fructis club now

kealoha · Kate Spade

I'm also a fan of Pantene. For a deep conditioner, try Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle.

lsubatgirl · Gucci

I have similar hair and use Sheer Blonde and it works out well for me. I usually use it for a few months and when it runs out switch to something else and then switch back. If you have color-treated hair stay away from using a daily clarifying shampoo and conditioner. It will strip the color out and leave your hair an off color. I accidently did it once and it left my blonde highlights a brassy gold color

Drew · Gucci

Thanks for the tips ladies. I have used Pantene and Herbel Essences in the past and was pretty happy. I think I will try the Fructis, Brilliant Blonde, and Sheer Blonde if I can find sample sizes of them. I'm not a fan of Aussie; I just don't like the smell.

Thanks for the suggestions, ladies, especially the one about clarifying shampoo's, ISUBG, I would hate to end up with a head full of brassy highlights.

I am a die hard fan of pantene - I have used it forever. I have color treated hair, and I love both the shiny straight and the color treated shampoo/conditioner. And, I hate the Fructis smell - it is too sugary or something.

Prissy · Dooney & Bourke

Pantene Blonde

i love brilliant brunette too.. but we have very different hair. all i can say is the quality is good. i recently rediscovered my love for pantene and l'oreal products as well. so long $20 shampoos

domkfox · BCBG

I have similar hair: long, thin, but lots of it. I've been using Brilliant Brunette, and really like it.

I have wavy semi-thick hair, and the sleek & shine REALLY weighs my hair down. It makes it really shiny and straight, which is good for a blow-out I guess. I do like the fructis shampoo for colored & treated hair. It's a good light-weight shampoo. My fav conditioner is Jason organic apricot cond. It has a UV protectant in it, so it protects highlights, and you can use it as an instant conditioner or leave it in for up 3-15 minutes for deep cond. It like it b/c it makes my frizzy hair calm down, but still leaves me with all my volume. I got it at Wild Oats.
