What are you favorite hair products and why.
I use ViVE PRO SMOOTH INTENSE Shampoo and Conditioner.
It is formulated for DRY, FRIZZY, or REBELLIOUS Hair."
There are formulas for Fine, Medium and Thick hair.
To add shine and a bit of control I use:
L'Oreal New STUDIO Spray Gel. They call it "Curl Boosting" but I see no difference from the original formula.
I also add about a heaping tablespoon of L'Oreal MELTING GEL to my damp hair. It works great
as a hair dressing.
Okay, YOUR turn...
I use V05's moisturizing milks lines. My favorite is Champagne Kiss, but I can barely find it anymore, so I use passion fruit smoothie.
I don't shampoo anymore, but I'm going to pick up a bottle soon. I'm sick of washing with baking soda.
I make a leave in out of my conditioner to help with frizz as well. And I oil with EVOO.
Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner (separate) haha, not too proud because I've heard its full of cones but not the very bad ones I believe. I like it and it works fine for me though.

Crew
I'm new at good hair care and after reading about bad and good "cones" and "SLS", I'm trying the all "Natural" stuff.
Giovanni - Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo
Giovanni - Tea Tree Triple Treat Conditioner
Giovanni - Direct Leave-In Conditioner, I water this down abit.
The cool taste of a Peppermint Mint Patty in your mouth is what this Tea tree stuff feels like on your head, it wakes you up!
I use Garnier Fructis long & strong. I works alright for me for now i guess, and i'm hoping that it will actually help strengthen my hair like they say it does. lol
I have the added issue of perm/coloring damage, and I don't really know what to use. I'm experimenting with different brands and formulations, to see what works. I like volume and poofiness, as long as it's not from being dry and frizzy. I guess it's because my hair is naturally straight and blah.
Right now I'm using Herbal Essences Body Envy, and next I'll try VO5 Passion Fruit Smoothie.
I've found that 2-in-1's do NOT work with the damage I have.
Suave Daily Clarifying and TIGI Bed Head Control Freak. One or the other every 3 days or so. Condx: Pantene ProV Daily Moisture Renewal every day. Also
on clarifying days: Pantene Pro V Protecting Damage Defender spray (leave-in)
I use Lanza conditioners. After trying almost everything out there, there in none better for my hair.
On the expensive side, but expense is relative.
i use four different varieties from nature's gate. the tea tree oil, used once a week, keeps my psoriasis at bay. the henna brings out my natural auburn highlights. the aloe keeps it super moisturized. and the herbal keeps it sleek and shiny. i basically just rotate betweeen them all the time.
