    The only "good" stuff I use is the shampoo and conditioner. I use color care Biolage (or whatever it is called now). The rest of the junk I put in my hair is from Target.
    Gel - mixed with water - is LA Looks
    Mousse and Hairspray is Suave.
    And after my shower at night I spray Infusium 23 leave in conditioner - also from Target.

    My hairdresser always comments on how healthy my hair is. I get it permed (yes, I'm a child of the 80's ) and colored both at least once a year. People always think my hair is naturally curly. HA, fooled them!

    Bruce uses Nioxin shampoo and conditioner (for his thinning hair) and our hairdresser always talks him into some overly priced wax to use. But most of the time he gives it to us at cost, since Bruce and him have been friends for years!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I have really thin stick straight hair too. I got my mother's hair. I wish I had gotten my father's hair. At age 90 he still has a beautiful thick head of pure white hair.

    I'll have to get a headshot pic of dad posted with his beautiful hair.

    Everyone's hair is different, so you need to find what works for you. The vinegar rinse at the end, Randi, is an old standby - vinegar is mildly acidic, and so is human hair, which is why it works! My mom was allergic to soap of all kinds, so showered with "Pear's Soap" which is actually glycerine, and washed her hair with that and rinsed it was cider vinegar. Blondes of course should use white vinegar instead.

    I use the Herbal Essences "Color Me Happy" - before they changed the naming scheme, it was the shampoo for "dry, damaged, permed or color-treated hair" and I started using it then, and as I am not allergic to it, kept using it when they changed the name. I tried using the pink bottle stuff when they changed the name, but as I sneezed immediately after opening the bottle, I switched back to the purple bottle, which is the "Color Me Happy." I have a ton of allergies, and most things with fragrance are suspect, so when I find something I am not allergic to, I stick with it until forced to change!

    Adding to my previous post... My hair is straight as a stick and really thin. It has the occasional wave to it, but most of the time, not an ounce of volume or wave or anything LOL.

    I don't even use conditioner on my hair. It makes it oily. I use Aussie shampoo though. Used Pantene for a long time, but Aussie does just as well and smells good, and it's cheaper!

    I can't use Suave or anything super cheap on my hair... doesn't make it feel clean. Hairspray and heat protection spray are cheap too LOL.

    Since I have so much hair and go through mine so fast and his lasts forever I don't say a word... plus he is sensitive about his hair so I always tell him it doesn't detract from him and I don't think it does.

    I've seen plenty of sexy and hot bald guys that look a whole lot better than some that have a full head of hair! In the summer when it's hot, my son and grandson both shave their hair down just as short as they can get it.
