Really interested in trying the Pureology for my thick, wavy, and too often, dry locks. Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

I have thin, baby fine hair and don't use styling products as often as I used to. My hair used to be very oily. When my scalp started itching, I switched to Neutrogena for Dry & Itchy Scalp. Love it! I'm also sensititve to too much perfume. It has a light minty delightful scent. The conditioner works well, too. I've been switching it with Kronos Phyxx and the volumizing shampoo and conditoner because I love the orangey scent. My hair is also color treated, but, with these products, not dry at all and no longer itchy on the scap.

Tresemme has always been a great choice for me. The scent is rather blasé.

I use drugstore products when it comes to certain things, but drugstore shampoos are terrible. I've tried everything from Herbal Essences to Pantene to Head and Shoulders, and they all dry my hair out. I'd rather pay the extra 10-20 dollars and have my hair be healthy and shiny. My fav, Pureology!

I really like Dove hair care, surprised to not see it on here

Another good one is Hair One, it is the less expensive sister to Wen and it does what it says. You can get it at Sally Beauty Supply.

Pantene and Sunsilk don't seem to do anything!
