Before, I could easily use random shampoos and conditioners that I can easily find available in our shower rack. No problemo even if I use the same brand for months or a different one every other day.
Then, my hair has become dry and frizzy for a long time because I wasn't aware of how the sun was frying my hair. I didn't care anyway. So when I felt like I need to take care of my hair more, I started to choose my products wisely. My saviors before were Pantene Green (Smooth & Silky) and Violet (Total Care) Shampoo and Conditioner, Rejoice Hot Oil 3in1 Shampoo, and Creamsilk Pink Conditioner.
I've also tried doing the 'shampoo-conditioner-today and conditioner only on the next day' cycle. Doing that kind of routine just made my hair oily every other day, like there were two me's alternately showing up every passing day. It was too much.
Then my experimentation overload paid me off by making my scalp get itchy easily from the classic brands that I've used. The type of itch that made me thought I got lice, or much worse, leeches on my head. Weird description haha.
What I did during that time was ending my hair washing with Lactacyd Blue. It helped relieve the itch that I might feel hours after but it tends to dry out my hair. So no, it's better to look for more.
Luckily, I found good products that are gentle on my scalp but are still good in helping my hair remain soft and controlled from frizz. Notice that most of the products that worked for me are botanicals/organic products.
So here are the products that I've tried and loved...
- VMV Hypoallergenics' Essence Skin-Saving Body and Bath Superwash Hair and Body Milk Shampoo - The best shampoo for me but the price is also the best LOL -__- Smells like baby's milk shampoo. It makes hair soft and your scalp totally itch-free. I could even use this without conditioner.
- VMV Hypoallergenics' Essence Hair-Volumising Milk Conditioner - Used after the VMV Shampoo and you've got a great combo. VMV Hypoallergenics Essence Link
- Human Heart Nature Moisturizing Egg Yolk & Aloe Vera Shampoo - Cute consistency like an egg yolk's! Cheaper organic shampoo that maintains hair's softness but VMV's is much better.
- Human Heart Nature Moisturizing Avocado & Seaweed Conditioner Human Heart Nature Hair Care Link
- Pantene Nature Care Shampoo - Never thought this organic-shampoo-wannabe is definitely real and doesn't make my hair itchy. As always Pantene never fails to make my hair soft.
- Beauty Formulas Henna Wax Hair Treatment/ Deep Conditioner - Recommended by yaptus, I'm currently using this as my conditioner and I love how it made my hair slowly revive from it's poor condition due to frequent dying. Much better if rinsed with warm water for more softer and manageable hair. Hoho!
But there are still products that I sometimes use just for a few days like..
- Elastine Moisture Control Shampoo & Conditioner (Green) - the scent of this Korean product lastssssss for hours, and my hair looks good when I use this but after 2-3 days... *scratch, scratch* Still, I use it sometimes kweh.
- Creamsilk Strength Boost Green - Creamsilk is the best. Bow.
What I miss though...
- That Japanese Pantene Treatment (Blue) where you apply it after shampoo and conditioner! - made my hair super soft, straight that my full bangs and bob were so in place! No flyaways! Too bad it's not available anymore in the market. :((
So that's it. I dunno how to close this post. Lemme just say... I'm off to bed! Brrr.
Remember what works for me might not work awesomely to you. At least you know what you can try. Meow.
