Not a necessary comment in my opinion. If you don't like it you're only a click away from being away from it

I honestly don't see how a model asking about hair care products is a stupid question.  And reading ads won't give any kind of information about how well a product works.  How many ads actually say, "this product sucks, so don't buy it"?

Thanks Brian!  You said it, so I didn't have to. I swear, some people, lol.

I just wish I had some real advice for the OP.  I've been using the same bottle of Bed Head Control Freak shampoo for the past 6 months (I have short hair...).

Lol see this proves my point! I spent like $30 on the Bead Head shampoo and conditioner and I hated it! It smells so good I wish it worked better for me

This site is just as much for models, MUA, Hairstylists,and stylist than for the " photographers". Never forget that without all of them you would be shooting nature scene
As far as the best shampoo on the market there is no such thing, and i will tell you why.
Each hair types react different to shampoos and conditioners. so you have to find something that is best for your hair type.
IF you have color in your hair , the best on the market right now is a product called " pureology" they have shampoos and conditioners , not too expensive and after working with most brands i can see the difference when my clients returns.( specially if you have highlights and lowlights ).
You can use the conditioning in the line as well for all hairtypes.
Many other brands  professional or not will work for you , but after a while your hair will get use to it so it's always good to have a few to switch around with.
Usually stay away from the "cheap" shampoos they have the same ingredients than laundry detergents. ( i did a demonstration years ago with purrel shampoo and gave a beautiful perm. the alkaline level is the same as a perm  ).
Smells and lathering is nice but again look at the ingredients, most are trying to cover up something with this. and for last dont beleive the magazine comparaisons as they test only smell and lather , not what it really does to your hair.plus they get payed for the advertisements .
Hope that helped, Good luck!

How rude!!!


Anyway, it looks like you ahve naturally straight and thick hair, like me.  I live by the dove foaming conditioners and shampoos, they are really awesoem and don't weigh down your hair, they're not too expensive, but they also last longer than most others i've tried!!   hope this helps

Pantene, Herbal essences are bad shampoos, and horrible as conditioners.  (Fructis is better, but not that much)

Normally it doesn't matter what you're using as a shampoo, it's the conditioner that matters.

However, if the shampoo includes alcohol (stearic is ok), then it'll most likely sap moisture from your hair.

Pantene uses wax in their conditioners to promote shininess in your hair, this wax, after time, will leech out vitamins that keep your hair healthy.

So true... Don't use Pantene!!! The ads lie, the picture are fake and Pantene will destroy your hair!!! Seriously, beside experiancing it myself, I have now heard countless Pantene horror stories. Save Yourself!

BTW: I like Tresseme

Is it sexual harassment if models keep running their hands through a photographer's hair (not that I am complaining).

Of course it isn't, big boy.

I used to use Herbal Essences and it made my hair nice and shiny and smooth. And then my friend told me the herbal shampoos aren't good for your hair so I tried Thermasilk and I hated it.

What is the best kind to use? That isn't terribly expensive.

I like to use pantene ... Or you can have your hair stylist inform you of what is best. Like shampoos that you can't buy over the counter for example. They tend to be the best ones

since i color treat my hair, im a redhead, and i love the John Frieda shampoos, i use the Brilliant Red for redheads, there is also the ones for blondes and brunettes, definitely brings out my red 

I used John Frieda exclusively when I was in London.  It seems to work wonders with the crazy hard water prevalent in the city.

I love Seattle...no hard water.

And that is really stupid advise.  Do you really believe everything they tell you in ads?

But ads LIE!

Filthy, bald-face lies to part us from our money.

I'm currently using Aubrey Organics. No sulfates, no silicones. Very gentle.

I also don't shampoo every day, less wear and tear on the hair. It's made a big difference.
