Just being nosy really...
when you use a shampoo and conditioner do you always use the same brand for each? For example if you were using Pantene shampoo would you use the same Pantene conditioner that goes with it? Is it better for your hair to use both the same? does it even matter?
Just that i usually use VO5 absolute blonde shampoo & conditioner, but this week I ran out of the shampoo so I've been using this Aussie shampoo instead with the V05 conditioner and my hair has been sooo nice! its really soft and shiny. i think i shall continue with this combination. I wouldn't usually though.
what do you reckon? :]

My hair kind of gets used to ceain shampoos or conditioners if i use them all the time and they dont work as well, so I chop and change regularly
When my hair is blonde, I use Head and Shoulders shampoo cause it helps stop that build up of weird brassy colour. When it's dyed darker I use milder shampoos for coloured hair.
Conditioners I change all the time cause I have a short hair product attention span. At the moment I'm loving Aussie Mega conditioner. The smell makes me hungry though!
Anyhoo, when they say 'for best results use with [our other products]' what they actually mean is 'please buy more of our products and give us lots of wonga, kthanks'.
deffo agree with the "hair getting used to certain shampoos" comment
when i first use a new shampoo i love it, then it starts only lasting a day
also, that pearl one, think its garnier in the pink bottle, makes it look good but it feels ick!
I'm currently using Body Shop Nettle shampoo or Baby shampoo. I have very sensitve skin on my scalp and greasy hair which is a crappy combination.
I do tend to chop and change my shampoos as well, I have two/three that work so I'll use a bottle of one and then swap to another.
In reality I use whatever is in the bathroom cabinet :razz:
you dont use conditioner on your scalp
I dont use it on my scalp, even if I use a tiny bit in my hair, it still irritates my scalp no matter how well I rinsh it out.
Have you ever thought that perhaps the Aussie shampoo is just better for your hair than Pantene? Imagine if you used Aussie conditioner as well.. :chin: oooh wooow :razz:
To be honest i don't do that!
I put in on the length of it and the ends, that way my hair gets less greasy.
And i was my hair with 2 shampoo's, like a dollop of one, rinse, then a dollop of the other one rinse, and one of them is usually the same as my conditioner but not always.
well nahhh because I've used Aussie shampoo and conditioner together loads of times and i didnt really notice a difference. the aussie shampoo was lying around cos id ran out of conditioner to go with it, haha.
