For All Hair Types : Garnier Fructis Shampoo and Conditioner

Reviewed by Bentleysmom:

“In one sentence "I haven’t seen a Garnier product that I didn’t like". Garnier Shampoos and Conditioner are top notch. I have used several different haircare products and I have been very well pleased with all. I haven’t met a Garnier product that I haven’t been super impressed with, including their skincare products. Word of advice.... Garnier, keep up the good work! I’m a big fan..”

Volumizing: John Frieda Luxurious Volume Shampoo and Conditioner

Reviewed by speterson70

“I am so glad I tried this shampoo and conditioner. It really does create volume. I love it! Would recommend to anybody that has thin hair and wants more volume. Great product.”

Moisturizing: Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner

Reviewed by MomaNikki82

“I recently received a free coupon to try out any Herbal Essence product and I chose to try the Hello Hydration. It has scents of orchid and coconut milk. Smells awesome! The scent lasts all day too! I’ve been a long time user of Suave Professionals shampoo and condtioners, but this duo was great! Rinses well and leaves your hair soft, smooth, and smelling great! The conditioner does a great job on my long hair! Def would recommend these products!”

Color Protection : Loreal Ever Pure Shampoo

Reviewed by Sweet_Tea

The Loreal EverPure line of haircare products is awesome! I have tried both the moisturizing formula and the smoothing formula and loved them both. I don’t normally spend this much money on shampoo but this product is worth it! The lather is so much like a salon quality shampoo and the scent is nice without being over powering. The line of products was developed exclusively for color-treated hair and contains no sulfates so your hair color will last longer. It also leaves your hair very soft!”

Organic: Burt’s Bees Shampoo

Reviewed by ldyrhonda

“This product is a liitle pricey, compared to other products. Being a natural I look for natural products to coincide with my lifestyle. Researching Sodium Lauryl/ Laureth Sulfate and the risk of using them, I prefer to us products with them and Burt’s Bees Shampoo does not contain them. It also offer other chemial free ingredients. Makes the hair feel really tangled, but w/conditioner everything is fine.”

Have you tried any of these products? What are some of your favorites?

I use to spend money on hair products before kids...then I started the coupon thing but they still were expensive, then I decided to try a store brand of Pantene I loved it...works just as well, smells good, and less then half the price. The store brands I mostly try is Shop Rite and Wal0Mart. give it a try...they are great and you save money

I have ALWAYS used expensive salon products, but with the economy being what it is these days, I decided to try something new. I saw Suave Professional Humectant products at a ridiculous low price and decided to give it a try, sure I was going to be very disappointed. To my surprise I love it! It leaves my hair, which is colored, very soft and healthy looking. It's something I'll continue to use and be happy I'm saving a bundle!!
