Aussie Opposites Attract ShampooWhen Aussie celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa said Aussie Opposites Attract Protect and Soften Shampoo works for all hair types, I had my doubts. But after using it (with Opposites Attract Conditioner), I became a believer. Aussie seems to have foun...More |

Aveda Smooth Infusion ShampooA shampoo that helps straighten hair seems like a hoax, but this one appears to work. It made blow-drying my long waves into a straight style easier, although I did use the coordinating Smooth Infusion Conditioner, which seems to be key to getting the full benefits. The shampoo contains luxurious smoothing and hydrating ing...More |

Aussie Moist ShampooA classic, everyday shampoo. Hair feels full, soft and healthy -- whether it's due to jojoba oil and aloe, as the label claims, or moisture-binding dimethicone (which is higher up on the ingredient list) doesn't matter. It works. The excellent lather and fruity, edible scent of this bargain-priced shampoo make it more lovab...More |

Frederic Fekkai Technician Shampoo for Dry, Damaged HairBetween blow-drying, flat-ironing and highlighting, my hair is so very pissed off. It has even started fighting back. To combat the straw, I enlisted Fekkai's restorative fruit cocktail -- a gentle peach-apricot-avocado shampoo that promises "abused hair" will be strengthened, protected and moisturized. The rich p...More |

Aussie Moist 2 in 1 ShampooA classic, everyday shampoo. Hair feels full, soft and healthy -- whether it's due to jojoba oil and aloe, as the label claims, or moisture-binding dimethicone (which is higher up on the ingredient list) doesn't matter. It works. The excellent lather and fruity, edible scent of this bargain-priced shampoo make it more lovab...More |

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Lustrous Touch Smoothing ShampooJohn Frieda Brilliant Brunette Lustrous Touch Smoothing Shampoo is a little difficult to rinse out, doesn't add much shine and smells too artificially chocolate, but the creamy formula leaves hair smooth and soft. I was a bit concerned that the heavy product would weigh my fine hair down, but even used with the equally crea...More |

Suave Professionals Humectant ShampooIf you don't want to spring for Nexxus Therappe, this milky, pearlescent shampoo works almost as well (although the flip-cap bottle won't look as nice in the shower). Nexxus has a leg up with more fatty acids and avocado oil, but Suave contains many common or comparable ingredients like silk amino acids and honey that clean...More |

Redken Blonde Glam ShampooBlonde hair gets a boost with this shampoo that leaves color brighter and hair softer. Don't expect a miracle but do expect it to work better than shampoos in John Frieda's Sheer Blonde line. The formula smells great -- like sunshine on wildflowers -- lathers easily, adds shine with crystal mica and protects with a UV filte...More |

Marc Anthony Aroma Organics Smoothing ShampooAveda lovers will adore the scent, but that could be where the love affair ends. It's jelly-like and doesn't yield a frothy lather. The word "organics" in the title will annoy true organic lovers since many of the ingredients on the label are three and four syllables long -- a good indication that they're not enti...More |

Fresh ShampooThough cotton itself doesn't really smell, when you suds up your hair with this shampoo, the name makes sense. The fresh, clean scent is reminiscent of just-washed laundry. The claim that the cotton powder inside gives "tons of body" to "very fine" and "normal" hair is slightly exaggerated. And...More |
