coraaI just took a shower with a sea salt scrub and then put on a loverly peach body butter. I smell good. (And now I feel like Jaegermonster....)
So, a personal grooming question, while I'm in this mood. I've been using Pantene Red Expressions shampoo and conditioner on my hair, and I've liked it quite a lot, but my hair is getting used to it. (I need to switch shampoos every so often or I get buildup, and they start not cleaning/conditioning as well. It may be psychological, but it feels real, and that's good enough.) What shampoo and conditioner do you use, and do you like them? My hair is, mm, maybe 3-4 inches past the shoulder, very fine, slightly wavy, very prone to tangling. Scalp tends to oiliness but not badly; most shampoos work fine for me, so really it's conditioner I'm wondering about, and I'm particularly interested in a conditioner that will detangle fine hair without weighing it down too much. In the past I've happily used Herbal Essences -- I used to use one that came in a green bottle and smelled... well, like apples, though I think technically it was meant to smell like kiwis, and I liked that too, but they've rearranged their line and I can't find it anymore. I do color my hair, but I use henna, which doesn't damage it (or at least not noticeably so), so I don't need a conditioner specifically for colored hair.
I've been thinking about trying Mane & Tail, because the idea of using horse shampoo and conditioner amuses me to no end, but I haven't yet because it only comes in a great big farking bottle and if I don't like it I'm stuck with a lot of it.
(As a point of interest: I've also tried not using commercial shampoos and conditioners, but an apple cider vinegar rinse just don't cut it at all for detangling my hair.)
Any suggestions? (And, because I'm just generously a curious beast: what do you use, even if it wouldn't be appropriate for me?)

Date: 2008-03-24 04:29 pm (UTC)Pantene Pro-V took care of me for awhile.
Redken makes some pretty good product, and you can get relatively small quantities packaged together in a little "trial pack" for ten or twelve bucks at some salons.
Paul Mitchell makes a good smoother that I've been trying lately. It really helps with the fly-aways. (Of course, the world would notice that more if I ever got around to brushing my hair...)
Mark really likes the 365 brand shampoo that they sell at Whole Foods.
Dove has products that are reasonably priced and that smell nice.
