Best Shampoo and Conditioner

Posted by Kenny On November - 25 - 2009

Are you one of those people that works out every single day and as a result have a little trouble with you hair being frizzy and unmanageable.  You may want to consider getting a shampoo and conditioner for you hair that will rejuvenate you hair returning it back to a manageable state.  Of course it is not everyone's choice to wash their hair everyday.  And with some shampoos this would be a very back idea.  So, lets look at some of the shampoos and conditioners that other of your peers have recommended for regular use.

Pantene Pro-V 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner, Classic Care, Packaging May Vary, 25.4-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2)

Pantene has been a number 1 choice for many consumers for a while now.  Rightly so, it is a good shampoo but it should not be used for daily use.  The problem is that is coats the hair with a wax that makes you hair shine.  This wax will over time dry out your hair leaving it worse than how you started off.  Also, the wax is difficult to remove, especially since you will have to purchase another shampoo just to get the first one out.  I would recommend that you only use Pantene on special occasion.  Their are times that you want your hair to shine.

Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo & Special Conditioner Duo 33.8 oz (1 Liter)

Paul Mitchells tee tree shampoo and conditioner.  Now this is a great shampoo.  I can't really say anything bad about Paul Mitchells products.  His brand is just such a great resource.  All of his products seem to do the job that they are meant to do.

But his tee tree shampoo and conditioner is excellent for a dry head.  For those who have a problem with their head itching after shampoo they also may want to use this product.

Neutrogena Triple Moisture Silk Touch Leave-In Cream, 6-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 3)

One other shampoo that I have found very good is Neutrogena Triple Moisture Conditioner.  This conditioner moisturizes hair.  It will also temporarily smooth, soften and shine your hair after a wash. This is especially necessary after a sweaty workout.

Remember you can't repair your hair with just washing it. You can nourish it.  But a good hair cut the removes split ends will alleviate the overly damaged hair.

Are you looking to grow your hair?  Is your hair very hard to manage making it very hard to brush through after a shower?  Well, if this is the case then you may want to consider using a leave in conditioner which will help to de-tangle your hair and give your hair the vital nutrients to help it grow to it's full potential.

Garnier Fructis Leave-In Conditioning Cream Curl & Shine 10.2 oz.

1.  Garnier - The Garnier leave in conditioner system is a great hair product.  This product has won the number 1 spot on our list.  The product is especially good for hair that is thick and curly.

Garneir is a tried and true conditioner.  It has been around for a while and countless women will swear by it time and time again.  It leaves your hair hassle free at a affordable price.

Paul Mitchell The Conditioner (select option/size)

2.  Paul Mitchell - Garneir and Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner would be on the same line if it was not that I needed to pick a number one and number 2 product.

Each de-tangle thick and unmanageable hair and leave it smelling great.  Your hair will be shinny and loose making it easy to comb and style.

Alberto VO5 Detangle! & Shine Daily Weightless Leave-In Conditioner, 10-Ounce Spray Bottles (Pack of 6)

3.  VO5 - Wow, this hair solution has been around for a while.  I remember my mother using it when I was a child and it is still doing its job de-tangling hair.  VO5 leave in conditioner is great for hair that is out of control.

If you have long hair this product will help to reduce the time needed to style your hair.  The only problem that I found with Vo5 was that is did not leave hair shinny.  If this is not a concern then Vo5 should be on your list.

Matrix Biolage Daily Leave-in Tonic Conditioner 13.5 oz

4.  Biolage Fortetherapie Leave-in Treatment - Now, biolage is not a common conditioner that most people use.  The brand is not well known.  But for those that are truly serious about their hair then you need to get to know the Biolage leave in treatment.  This is serious stuff and the reviews speak for themselves.  "This product ROCKS", "Wow it really did work!".  What else can be said except go out and get this product.

Infusium 23 (Repair)ologie Leave-In Treatment, Original for Damaged Hair 33.8 fl oz (1 L)

5.  Infusium 23 - This product consistently gets 5 star rating after ever review.  People just love this product.  To them it is just magic what this conditioner does for their hair.  It leaves their hair looking healthy, strengthened and manageable.

The Best Conditioner For Breaking, Damaged Hair

Posted by Kenny On December - 19 - 2008

Many of us suffer from damaged hair - breaking, split-ends, and hard to manage hair that just seems to fight our requests for style and body. The best conditioner for breaking or damaged hair rebuilds proteins adding enhanced strength while improving moisture and shine - reducing snapping and split-ends and adding volume and body.

Damaged hair can come from many sources. More often than not, heat damage caused by styling tools (flat irons, curlers and dryers) depletes hair of moisture and breaks down protein bonds that allow your hair to hold its style and prevents splitting. Chemical treatments, coloring, perms and relaxers also restructure molecular connections built by amino acids leaving hair weak and susceptible to lost hydration, brittleness and color fade.

The best conditioner for breaking hair targets two primary functions and benefits: One, enhancing tensile strength of the follicle shaft, and two, improving moisture content and shine.

It's A 10 does 10 things instantly: 1. Repairs dry damaged hair. 2. Adds shine. 3. Smoothes and controls frizz. 4. Seas and protects hair color. 5. Detangles. 6. Prevents split ends. 7. Stops hair breakage. 8. Creates silkiness. 9. Enhances natural body. 10. Flat iron spray and thermal protector.

This specially formulated conditioner is a great follow-up to Technician Shampoo for Dry, Damaged, Color-Treated Hair. Its ultra moisturizing formula restores softness, silkiness, and shine to abused hair. Pro Vitamin B5 and silk protein smooth and strengthen the hair while apricot, avocado, and calendula soften it for long-lasting conditioning and shine.

Though many conditioners can address one or the other, those that are formulated specifically to repair and heal damage are best for improved strength. Active ingredients that we have seen most successful contain natural, topically applied proteins. Soy, wheat, corn and rice are the most effective. Each of these in a hydrolyzed form offer multiple benefits due to their molecular size and weight.

Rice protein for instance has a low molecular weight and is able to penetrate the follicle shaft penetrating the cuticle and root. Rice protein strengthens the follicle bonds and has been shown to substantially increase tensile strength - the point at which a hair breaks or snaps.

Korres Rice Proteins Hair Tip SerumKorres Rice Proteins Hair Tip Serum

This silicone-free serum protects hair from splitting during brushing, blow-drying, and hot ironing. It deeply repairs and hydrates the hair without coating the hair with a heavy, thick film like other serums. Simply glide over dry or damp hair, paying special attention to the ends.

Corn protein on the other hand has a larger (or greater molecular weight) and bonds readily to the outside of the shaft increasing making hair more smooth and shiny. Other ingredients such as Panthenol, Soy or Aloe plump the hair shaft, add moisture and increase elasticity - allow for improved styling without damage. Combined with UVA /UVB protection, you gain added benefits of repair and protection.

Many effective conditioners also include a complex of amino acids. Betaine, Sorbitol, Glycine, Arginine, and Lysine are all formulated and researched to provide enhanced amino acids delivery to the shaft and bulb. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and further increase shine and strength.

If you're one of millions who are frustrated with weak, breaking hair, look for hair products and conditioners specifically developed to reduce breaking, improve resilience and strength, and shine and body.
