I found the Tesco one pretty good and cheap and don't mind the coco lab ones either and they smell divineOn a similar note dry shampoo. Any recommendations? Not Batiste I saw brad Mondo recommend a foam one but can't remember the name. Just seen pantene do a new foam though
Hi! I’m also bleach blonde and tried so many purple shampoos in between going to the salon and most of them have been rubbish! How is the Redken one? Been wanting to try that one so would love to know someone else’s opinion on it?I’ve got bleached hair with extensions and I alternate between Redken purple shampoo & conditioner which are about £15 each and Tigi urban antidotes in the big bottles for around £15 for the 2. My mum works in home bargains though and came home with lots of Umberto Gianni shampoo and conditioners this week which are 99p and 49p each compared to £6.49 each in boots, I’ve tried them today and my hair feels lovely so I may stock up! I use Olaplex once a week too.
I have used all of them and never thought any of them made a difference, one of the girls at work uses Fudge shampoo, totally blonde I think it’s called, purple tube, used it tonight for the first time, amazing! Under a tenner on Amazon, I only wash my hair once a week, I wet it every day and use umberto giannini coconut jelly and scrunch it with a diffuser , it’s a beach wave bob.Hi!

I hear you. Aussie leaves me hair feeling SO heavy and weighed down with product. Disgusting.Not so much if a recommendation but I found the Aussie dry shampoo rubbish. I got a trial size of IGK charcoal & I'm on the fence as to whether it's worth the money, its probably only marginally better than Batiste. The smell is nice but maybe a bit sickly.
I am not blonde- naturally very dark with usually dyed hair (purples, red, orange etc) Lush do a purple shampoo called Daddy-O. It is really good. I bought before realising it was for blondes smells really good and was an overall decent shampoo.I have used all of them and never thought any of them made a difference, one of the girls at work uses Fudge shampoo, totally blonde I think it’s called, purple tube, used it tonight for the first time, amazing!

Agree with Lush bars; great environmentally and I love their wee tins you can get them in. Love taking one to the swimming as well; chlorine really lifts out the hair. Recommend them!
Lush also do good conditioners and treatments.
They do one called R&B - esp good for thick/wavy/natural hair peeps - use as a leave in conditioner. It’s amazing. The tub will last ages as it needs to be used sparingly and... importantly never ever put this near your roots!!! Orrrr your hair will be so lank and greasy feeling you will want to shave it off. but it’s immense for dry ends.
Olaplex: occasionally get a treatment at the hairdresser and it’s incredible. Bottles for home are about £25 each I believe so pricey. However, I believe they do last ages. I am going to buy the weekly treatment one and keep using my Lush bars as normal.
Shampoos that make me want to chop my hair off and cry:-
Aussie
Treseme (I can feel the lankness just thinking anoint that Satan serum)
Pantene, herbal essences, vosene (massive reaction when I was a kid, blisters and all.)
basically most of the ones down the supermarket aisle.
Not intended in any snobby way; I envy anyone who can use them!! The ££ and ‘mare of a time finding good ones.
So yeah; Lush (most their hair stuff in fairness) and Olaplex.
When I’ve got my hair coloured I like Olaplex or Maria Nila. Absolutely no point paying for awesome colours (purples, reds etc) and using a sulphate laden shampoo. Just strips and dulls the colour right away and leaves hair brittle (well, it does to my mane anyway )

I’m not really into sweet smelling shampoos... attracts wasps and I’m liable to run in front of a f&cking bus trying to get away

Realise I’ve plugged Lush a LOT in my posts here. Not a #ad
I have a few different ones that I like.On a similar note dry shampoo. Any recommendations? Not Batiste I saw brad Mondo recommend a foam one but can't remember the name. Just seen pantene do a new foam though
I bought Superdrug's own stuff (the volume one and the brunette one,) and I feel like they do a decent job. I try to use them sparingly, just because I don't want to rely on dry shampoo, so I can't vouch for them day-to-day but the volume one is pretty good if I'm in a rush and need to refresh my hairNot so much if a recommendation but I found the Aussie dry shampoo rubbish.

Aldi used to do a brilliant one, but they discontinued it (well I assume they did, can't get it in either of my local stores anyway) I use from Lidl now and it's pretty good, not as good as the Aldi one but much better than any of the branded ones. I don't like Batiste at all and wasn't keen on Colab either.On a similar note dry shampoo. Any recommendations? Not Batiste I saw brad Mondo recommend a foam one but can't remember the name.

Thanks for the reccomendation - I just looked up Maui as I would also like to stop using silicones and sulphates on my hair. It's on offer in Boots atm for £5.99 so I am going to get someI use Kerastase shampoo and conditioner or Maui Moisture. Kerastase is expensive, about £45 for both. Maui Moisture you can buy in Boots and most supermarkets but it’s still £9 a bottle.
I don’t use sulfates or silicones on my hair so I spend more. You get what you pay for. Cheap shampoo is full of crap
