How often do you switch shampoos?

Re: How often do you switch shampoos?

A few years ago, my hair stylist suggested changing shampoos once in a while. I know she told me why but I've forgotten. However, since I use the same brand, it probably doesn't make that much difference but I figured she knows more about hair than me. and I'm noticing that I have less bubbles now since I have softened water in my apt. I don't know if that is good for hair or not.

I was using drug store brands for about a year (Clairol, Dove, Just for Brunettes, Suave - pretty much anything that was inexpensive) and I noticed my hair was dull, dry and not in very good condition. I decided I could give up the occassional bottle of wine to afford the better quality shampoo so now I'm back to Kiehl's brand. I kind of wonder sometimes if I've really given up that bottle of wine though

(and there is nothing wrong with drug store brands - they just don't work on my hair)

I have a fetish for shampoo/conditioner, shower gels, sugar scrubs and related. It's embarrassing how many I have in the showers here. However
people love showering here for the large assortment and get to try products and brands they might not normally think about.

I remember as a little kid using Breck shampoo. It made your hair squeaky clean, literally. Now, I like shampoo that smells good.

What was the shampoo that gave your hair a tingly feeling in its commercial? I would stay away from any product that gives your scalp a tingly sensation, because it might contain a toxic ingredient.

And when do you exit the "repeat" loop?

When bald or dead.

Shampoo bottles have directions?

I've been using Pantene since 1994. I guess I will be due to switch again in, oh, about 6 years.

I did try making my own conditioner once. It turns out that xanthan gum turns rancid pretty fast in a humid bathroom and....you don't want to know.

Re: How often do you switch shampoos?

I like to switch whenever i get the urge for something different
Some say switch after a month or two..

But really...if something is working for me, I will use that until I notice it's not doing what it once was (time can/will vary), and maybe even then, all i may need is an apple cider vinegar rinse!

I'm a huge fan of Aveda shampoos and conditioners...they make my hair so shiny and soft !

Tea Tree shampoos will do this...even all natural ones.

agree with enamorada. that "toxic" ingredient might be something as harmful as menthol or tea tree oil or peppermint oil. i wouldn't worry, WB.

Haha! Breck!! That stuff makes my hair, well, crunchy. Definately not made for curly haired girls - the frizz factor!!
