Grooming Thread Part 3: What's the Best Shampoo? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

So we had the deoderant thread and then the facial thread. Now I am in search of the ultimate shampoo and/or conditioner.

I am using the Pantene Pro-V shampoo/conditioner in one combo and really like it. Specially the way my hair shines. But then Asher said the lady that cuts his hair said it sucks! She said this Biolage stuff was way better.

Normally I don't follow their recommendations because they are probably just trying to make a profit off of selling you stuff. (When I was a kid this lady always sold us this Nexxus stuff and it ALWAYS sucked). But Asher said that it made his hair the bomb after using it for a couple of weeks.

So what is the ultimate shampoo!?!

Ladies, gay men, True Players, and Zylka your responses are welcome!

I don't think there is The Ultimate Shampoo (or Facial Scrub, for that matter). Two things I have learned:

- you need to try them out to see if they work well for you.
- don't stick to one brand of shampoo. Switch to another one after a period of time.

Head and Shoulders, as it's the only thing that's seemed to actually do anything about my dandruff.

Hey Z and Boris,

I didn't have any luck with the Aussie stuff. Made my hair all thin and wack.

Which Aussie products do you guys use?

Their natural gel is the best though.

I'm quite partial to Joico's Kerapro shampoo. It's kind of a two-in-one as well.

I've also had good experiences with Paul Mitchel, but it tends to leave a noticeable smell. Not a bad one, mind you, but I don't want my hair to have a scent.

Why are we discussing shampoo?

Just go out to the store, buy some, go home, take a bath, and come back on Poly to discuss Savas dull blade.

Easy as that.

I got samples of that Pantene Pro-V shanpoo/conditioner in the mail, and it impressed me enough to switch. I'm still using it.

You can't have shampoo and conditioner at the same time. To put it another way, you can't take something out and put something in at the same time.

Head and Shoulders not only failed to reduce my dandruff - it contributed to it!

After a week it was worse, but i kept using it. After a couple more weeks, i had a thick crust over my entire scalp If i kept using it i could have become a Suliban extra on Star Trek! Without makeup!!

I am a head and shoulders man myself, but I also got a bottle of very...'interesting' shampoo on a road trip when I was in need of a clean scalp and lustrious locks. Lemme give you an excerpt from the bottle:

Front:

Té Tao
Chinese Herbal Therapy

Tea for Hair (It's italisized on the bottle, I swear)

Lotus Tea Thickening(!) Shampoo

Adds Volume and Shine to Fine, Flyaway(WTF?), or Thinning Hair


Back:

CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE first evolved in the mountains of ancient China as Taoist philosophers searched for the elusive ELIXER OF LIFE. Over the centuries, they learned of the remarkable healing powers of carefully combined plants and minerals taken in tea form...incredible benefits which Té Tao now brings to your hair.(Again, the all caps bolded sections are on the bottle as well.)

This formulation is governed by Water one of the Five Elemental Energies and contains the legendary elixer of life 'He Shou Wu'.


I know, it's gimmicky as hell. But it does smell nice, and it wasn't any more expensive than the other stuff. Oh, it's made in England as well.

A friend of mine went to a soap specialty store and bought this crap shampoo with beer in it. He normally smells like beer, though, so it was no big loss on his part.
