Anti-tangle shampoos

I use crappy ASDA brand shampoo (just shampoo, no conditioner) for Greasy Hair, or now that my hair is much shorter i've switched to Normal Hair. My only advice is stay away from conditioner as it is the devil in disguise.

I don't buy shampoo. It's a con. As is shaving foam. This free me up to be able to afford lovely Lush stuff (gay, alright??) which is usable as soap, shampoo AND shaving foam.
Happy Hippy, Snow Fairy (arf!), Sonic Death Monkey.....mmmm.....althogh I've not seen SDM for a while.

Conditioner? Nah...even with conditioner my air is like straw....not worth it.

Never really had any problems with tangles, just lucky I guess. I'm firmly in the Herbal Essences camp for shampoo (those hair washing orgasms are amazing) and I do condition, it's a necessity.

I have to use conditionor as it makes my hair too brittle. I get whatever designer volume enhancement or weather protect shampoo is on offer at body care, wilkos ect. I don't get brand loyalty for these things.

asda own shampoo is suprisingly good. wheras boots is awful. the smell of herbal essence and tresemme make me feel ill just the smell of them, and make my head itch.

Tresemme all the way for me! I react badly to any sort of shampoo that claims to have extract of wildlife in it, I've had some unpleasant experiences with Herbal Essences when I tried it and found my scalp trying to kill itself as a result.
I tried Colgate shampoo once, I think it was Colgate. Anyway it was by a brand that usually does toothpaste and ended up in the doctors getting treatment for my reaction to it. Same thing happened when I tried Coconut stuff. I'll stick with my big bottles of nasty chemicals thankyou, they may not smell as nice but it's just not worth smelling like a rainforest or fresh laundry or a badger or whatever the hell else they can come up with to be in that much pain.

Both Tresseme and herbal essences have been know to make my scalp bleed and my skin become inflamed, pantene and timotoe do the same thing as well, just to a lower degree.

I'm with Kat and Tresemme. It seems to instantly dissolve all my tangles, I can feel it when washing my hair. Especially the conditioner. Never had a shampoo and conditioner combination where I can brush my hair with no trouble at all afterwards. Love the stuff

I can't afford to buy fancy shampoo, I bought Morrisons own 2-in-1 for 54p (it was on offer) which does the trick, sort of! When I'm at my mum's I use her Pantene shampoo, because it's the only one she's got at the mo. Makes my hair soft and tangle-free anyway, so I can't complain

I buy whatever's cheapest, which at the moment is Wilkinson's own brand. My hair would be too greasy if I used conditioner, although I used it when my hair was longer because otherwise I got tangles very easily.

Head n Shoulders, and Tresemme conditioner - makes my hair smell bootiful and flake-free.

Nuff sed

I like pantene's range, gives nice soft hair ^___^

I think this has got to be the campest thread on the forum...

You say that like it's a bad thing

Lets not get started on crimpers!

I use treseme shampoo and conditioner and my hair is always unmanageable. I am the Thane of tangles, the Matador of matted hair, the something of shit-to-brush hair.

You could probably do with blow-drying it, that might help? Or, if it's too unmanageable, why not cut it; that's what I did when I got fed up...

...

...I'm gonna regret suggesting that, aren't I?

Well, Jay was at some point thinking of getting a hairdryer...

...and i was, at some point, thinking of shaving someone bald for saying something silly.

I HAVE CLIPPERS!!!! ME! ME! ME!

When i had the long hair i used to do a wash of head and shoulders followed by herbal essances- only conditioned it occasionally, either way it's a good combination. With short hair pretty much anything's good so long as it doesn't hurt your head. There's also a really good conditioner with a weird name: Timotae if i remember correctly.

Surely blow drying would make it worse? I don't dry my hair but the few times I have done it makes it more knotted than it was before. Brush it through after putting conditioner (when it's still wet and before you've washed the conditioner out) in if it's really bad.

I use herbal essences, their conditioner for dry hair has always kept mine silky smooth cheap shampoo/conditioner is evil stuff, they shouldn't be allowed to sell it and if you have hair past your ears you should never ever use it!

Yeh blow drying my hair made it way more knotted, if your hair's too tangled to use a proper hair brush you can buy these giant plastic combs that are a bit more easy going. Any traces of masculinity i had are decreasing by the word...

I think every guy, including Hunter, has just decreased their masculinity in this thread, I think we need to counter that and start a shaving thread

That's fine, I had no masculinity to speak of to begin with.

Christ.....I must be in negative figures by now ... . .. .. . . .

You washed your hair with toothpaste?

Also, Hunter, if you don't care about the potential animal testing, I really do recommend L'oreal's kid's stuff. It is amazing.

Have to agree on that.

Always used Pantene Normal Hair 2 in 1, and I'm never tangled, always clean, always soft.

Aaah, I like my hair...

Hey i use crappy own brand stuff. I have my masculinity. Except here in Canada where i currently use "Suave" (because it's the cheapest at Safeway). English shampoo and Canadian water was making my hair the most static containing thing ever. Last semester i got shocked every single day. One haircut and switch to Canadian shampoo later and everything is fine.

I've never really had problems with tangles, despite having a tendancy to go greasy fairly quickly my hair is actually "the bitching tits" when it comes to washing. It tends to dry pretty quickly too, although recently i find it holds a lot of water. But i blame Canadian water for this.

Vegetarian ≠ Animal Rights activist... I wouldn't use a product that is habitually sprayed into bunny rabbit's eyes, but I'm not going to go throw blood on someone with a fur coat, and I too am not a flesh eater.

In other news, Fluff Ease pre-conditioning stuff from Lush is pretty good, though I am wary of their flowery type products usually for the reasons stated in my other post.

I just assumed that if you had an aversion to eating animals then you'd also have an aversion to using products that are used on animals; I'm not saying you have to be an activist per se!

You can have an aversion to mistreatment of animals without having an aversion to eating them; especially if that mistreatment is as a result of a human want rather than a human need.

I don't get 'classic' vegetarianism, however this is just personal opinion.

That can't be used all the time thought, someone may try to avoid things that are tested on animals, but what about medicine? I know lots of vegetarians who wear leather shoes/coats, have leather bags ect.

We're talking about cosmetic products here; medical products is a completely different kettle of fish. I know most vegetarians use leather because it's essentially the only good material to use.

Erm, Tom, Amy's saying that she doesn't use it anymore because of animal testing. That's the whole point of this thread! What she was saying to Hunter is that if he doesn't care about these things then he should use it because it is good.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it feels that you've missed the point a little!

I must have forgotten to read that bit, sorry!

No can do. My hairbrush broke this morning, mid brushing. Snapped at the hilt.

And what exactly am i going to say in a shaving thread. Frankly, long, tangled hair is an acceptable masculine style. Whereas discussing the new 5.7 trillion bladed razor and super camp shaving and conditioning gel that exfoliates and revitalises the skin, whilst smoothing out wrinkles and makes your chin smell like a shrubbery seems a lot gayer to me.

Poor Miffies

I'm sure if they wore blue jumpers, we'd mistake them for people and leave them alone.

Or mistake them for Smurfs and fuck them.

pardon?

Touché

Tsk.

Camper. Not gayer. There's a difference.

I know, but using the word gayer actually questions people's sexuality, and therefore is a lot funnier. Plus on the ">Blagosphere, there's o difference between camp ang gay... Or right and wrong fo that matter. As long as people can argue.

Blagosphere?

Surely, someone must be pretty insecure sexually to be upset/insulted by questioning there sexuality?

Is it not alittle bit childish.

You are what you are, i hate it when people use the term "gay", it reminds me of been at primary school, or been subjected to a room full of daily mail readers. Some people use it as an offensive term, in my opinion it shouldnt be used to describe someone in a derogratory way because it helps to enforce some narrow minded people.

There is a bloody big difference between, been camp and gay. I know some very camp straight men, to the extent they use there campness to pick up women (its quiet cringeworthy-and yet it worked).
