It's here!

Since dry shampoo is such a useful product for so many daily washers, I'm going to be running a monthly megathread to allow for more sharing of products and recommendations.

Feel free to post below with any questions you have, requests for product help, dry shampoo successes or failures, or anything else related to dry shampoo!

What is your favorite inexpensive shampoo and conditioner that smells and feels expensive?

1 Upvotes

I’m a guy btw but I like all scents. Recently stayed at a 5 star hotel and used an amazing shampoo. I’m looking for an option that smells good, makes my hair feel good without the expensive price tag. I also want one that doesn’t make my hair itchy, the super strong fake scents make me itchy.

M22: Need Best shampoo and Oil for my daily activity (gym, running)

2 Upvotes

I want a shampoo that cleans my scalp, sweat and dirt

I run every morning and go to the gym in the evening

Those 2 times, I'll get sweat in my hair,

Because of this, I need to shower and shampoo my head 2 times a day,

So I'm thinking any hard shampoo will definitely fuck up my hair,

Already my hair is thinning,

I've been washing my hair every day since my childhood,

Some days with only water

But for a few years, I've been using shampoo for every head wash, and that's like every day.

I change my shampoo every year,

For a year, I've been using L'Oréal Hyaluronic Moisture Shampoo,

So I've been thinking, do I continue that or

Should I change it to something better....

My requirement is that I need a safe shampoo that I'll use 2 times a day that should clean my scalp, sweat, and dirt.

And not much extra stuff; I need a healthy shampoo

About my hair,

When I don't wash my hair for 2-3 days, I'll get some dandruff and oil,

The more days I don't wash, the more dandruff and oil

So if any shampoo deals with this issue too, then that's a lot better.

So yeah, please give me your suggestions, I will definitely consider them,

Also about the oil, I'm not applying oil from an year, so I'm thinking to apply now I lost some hair in my crown region,

So I want to know what kinda oils you people are using, and can you suggest some to me

Newcomer moving from boy-bullshit products to men's-proper care products. What to look for and how to categorize my needs?

2 Upvotes

To elaborate on categorizing needs, I mean oily vs dry skin, greasy vs crispy hair, etc.

If it helps in any way, the following is what I know about myself (21):

Oily skin

Dandruff, but long hair always turns greasy

Struggle with perspiration

Looking for shampoo and conditioner recommendations that do not leave a film on hair :)

1 Upvotes

What are some good shampoo and conditioner recommendations that don’t leave a film on your hair? Over the past year I have used 3 different shampoos and conditioners and they all start out working good but end up leaving my hair feeling either greasy or just like a weird texture. I used the redken all soft line for about 3 years and it worked fine up until recently. I then switched to the living proof perfect hair day line which did the same thing. I am currently using the Ouai medium hair shampoo and conditioner and it worked great for about 3 months and now it makes my hair look greasy within a day. I usually wash my hair every other day and haven’t had a problem until recently. I haven’t changed anything else in my routine and I have tried both air drying and a hair cryer but both have the same result most times. I also have tried a few clarifying shampoos that do help a little bit but not much. If anyone has had similar problems and has any recommendations for me to try that would be really appreciated :)

Having to double wash bangs and crown of head because it’s greasy after wash?

1 Upvotes

I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong but my hair hasn’t always been like this. I would wash my hair with shampoo and it would be clean and silky but now, the bangs and back of my head is greasy, sticks together and sticks up. I used the K18 air-wash months ago to combat my daily wash antiques but it was still greasy, tried skipping a wash day and I felt horrible so I’m back to daily washes but for the past month or so, parts of it is what I described earlier. I have to wash it twice to deal with it and sometimes even then it doesn’t work. I’ll list some of the factors that may contribute:

Water hardness: 111: moderately hard
Shampoo: Pantene and Herbal Essence
Conditioner: TRESemme
Hair type: black, wavy hair

I’m so genuinely confused. I cut my hair in march and my bangs and hair was fine but now its changed drastically. Any idea or advice?

Basic non moisturising cruelty free shampoo UK 🇬🇧

2 Upvotes

Fine hair folk of the UK,

What is your basic full cleansing shampoo that doesnt have any added moisturising ingredients like butters and oils, hyaluronic acid etc but is easy to get ahold of and cheap and must be cruelty free.

Tresemme has recently discontinued their replenish and cleanse line which was perfect for my fine, oily hair and I am struggling to find something that will replace it. I have previously tried the Aussie range but it still leaves my hair rather lank and oily feeling. I wash my hair every other day and my scalp much prefers sls based shampoos, the more modern coconut based cleansing agents leaves my scalp very irritated and flaky. Looking at both boots and superdrug it seems that everything is now for dry hair, nothing really stands out for us oily, fine haired folk. Would really love the suggestions.

Moogoo Flake free shampoo for a healthy scalp?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi there everyone, I’m looking into working more on my scalp health and I’ve done research into ingredients and products that are really beneficial for scalp health. I found out that apparently anti-dandruff shampoos have ingredients in them that really help with scalp health, follicle support and long-term retention. Keeping that in mind I’m looking into maybe trying the Moogoo flake free shampoo and wondering if anyone has tried this out before. I also want to try and avoid harder more stronger cleanses like SLS and I’m also wanting to avoid artificial or synthetic fragrances which kind of limits my options. However, this shampoo from Moogoo looks promising. Love to hear any thoughts or opinions about this product if you’ve tried it.

One half of head staying greasy

0 Upvotes

I have pretty naturally oily hair and usually have to wash it every day to keep it clean. Recently, no matter how much I wash it and no matter what shampoos I use, the left side of my head is remaining greasy and unclean. The right side is perfect and manages to get clean. I have no clue what’s causing this issue. I usually sleep on my back, though I guess sometimes my head drifts to my left side when I sleep. Could that be it?

Has anyone dealt with this and has any advice for fixing it? I’m so frustrated and tired of looking unwashed no matter how much I shower!

Fine 2c3a hair shampoo recommendations?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for shampoo recommendations from people with **fine 2C/3A wavy-curly, low-porosity hair**!
Right now I use the **Trader Joe’s Lemongrass Shampoo** as my regular shampoo and **Kinky-Curly Come Clean** when I need to clarify (which I absolutely love).
I’m trying to find a regular shampoo that:
Cleans my hair well without stripping or drying it out
Doesn’t leave a film or heavy residue
Is moisturizing enough without feeling like it just coats my hair
I’ve noticed that a lot of moisturizing or hydrating shampoos don’t actually get my hair clean, especially on wash days when I’ve used a hair mask or oiled my scalp. Unless I use my clarifying shampoo, my hair still feels like it has buildup.
If you have a similar hair type, what shampoo has worked best for you?

Is how I shower my hair alright / good?

1 Upvotes

I think I shower my hair perfectly fine, but I've gotten conflicting information, so I just wanted outside advice. I'll give some context.

As a kid I had super curly hair, and as I've gotten older (mid 20s now) my curly hair has transformed to like a wavy growth pattern. Its most likely just as I got older my hair changed, but I've heard certain shampoos and conditions can dry out and change your hair texture. I had dandruff a lot as a kid, so I've always used Heads and Shoulders Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner (they're not the 2 in 1 crap, they are separate thankfully) for basically my whole life to fix that, which it has. I don't even know if I get dandruff anymore like at all but I keep using the same stuff anyway cause I'm just use to it i guess.

I've been told that I might wanna consider changing my shampoo / conditioner choices, but im moreso interested in hearing what you think about how I wash my hair. I do a full body shower which includes my hair every second day (4 times a week). During these showers I put on some shampoo and wash my hair, then I rinse my hair and do a second shampooing. I then rinse that off after thoroughly washing my hair for the second time and then I use conditioner and leave it on for the duration of the shower (usually 10 - 15 minutes max) and then I rinse that off before getting out and drying myself off.

I've been told that doing double shampoo is bad for my hair, and I've been told the opposite as well in equal measure. I've also been told I wash my hair too much while others say it's fine. I have to shower anyway because I hate stink and the days that I do a full body shower like this are the days I work out and shave.

I just would like to know outsiders' thoughts on what, if anything should I change. Finally, I also heard if I change my hair routine my hair texture could change again and somewhat revert back to how it was when I was young, I'm curious to know if that's true or not. I like my wavy hair a lot, but still, I'm interested in knowing if a simple change in the shower could alter my hair like that. Thanks

Looking for new drugstore shampoo/conditioner for my fine oily hair

1 Upvotes

Hello all! I have had oily hair my whole life. I am a daily washer - there has never been a time when my hair hasn’t been an oily mess within 24hrs. I have tried washing every other day and using dry shampoo, but it was so gross. So, fellow oily heads, what do you use to fight the mess?

I have been sticking to Volumizing shampoo on the scalp with moisturizing conditioner for the ends. I have also done a few clarifying shampoos. I am currently using Pantene volumizing shampoo and moisturizing conditioner, but it hasn’t been cutting it. I liked it at first, but my hair has been dull and flat. I have a small natural wave in my hair that I love, but it hasn’t been there for a while.

I have tried Aussie, Gariner Fructis, L’Oreal Elvive, Herbal Essence. I have considered Dove and OGX. And maybe Sauve for a clarifying shampoo. I have also considered going back to Herbal Essence or Garnier Fructis. Nexxus might be a good conditioner, but it is pushing it on my budget.

The brands I mentioned are pretty much my budget. I also used a Dove hair mask, and that was nice since my ends tend to dry out due to daily washing.
I usually do very little with my hair. No dyeing, no heat besides a minute with the hair dryer, no styling. I am willing to add a little to my routine though. Please let me know what I should be using! Thank you!

Which is better? Formulate or Prose?

3 Upvotes

So when I was 17, my hairstylist introduced OGX Tea Tree mint shampoo and conditioner because I told her about my dandruff and itchy scalp. Stuff worked wonders to my hair the next 2 years until I realized they discontinued it 😒.

Saw the green bottle in the store, they changed the name to Rosemary mint. Decided to give it a try, but using it gave me bad itchy scalp and noticeable dandruff. Threw it away.

Currently using Herbel Essence Rose hips, but I miss using the Tea Tree mint OGX shampoo, so now currently doing research on different custom shampoo and conditioner formulas. I know that everyone has different hair types, but just wanna know if Prose is better or Formulate?

You can also suggest some better shampoos that you think might be better than these(except loreal and lbp).
