I’ve tried so many different shampoos over the years from high to low end and for a while I tried to only use shampoos that didn’t have certain toxic ingredients but it made my hair look like shit. Finally I returned to my OLD FAITHFUL, Kirkland Signature shampoo (I use the conditioner too in between hair masks)!!! It gets my hair nice and clean without damaging it/drying it out or making it weird and oily, it smells like frosting (many will hate this), it used to be said that it was a dupe for Purology, and it’s sooo cheap and comes in such large bottles that I don’t try to get my money’s worth out of it and make it last a long time. Big fan I’ve been using it again for a couple of months now

I always turn to VO5 shampoo or the green Suave bottle. Sometimes you need your head to be fresh and clean and this is what shampoo is for. But I don’t really understand paying large amounts of money to degrease my hair. VO5 is a good way to fly under the radar and it provides really consistent results. Every time I use a shampoo that’s weird or nice I never know what I’m going to look like when I wake up. I specifically enjoy the strawberries and cream flavor of VO5, I like seeing the picture of the strawberry on the bottle and I like the Pepto Bismol color. I’m remembering now too that this is what my dad and grandfather both used to buy for me and I think that’s cute.

Sorry this is so long 😅
I have straight, fine hair and I currently use the Herbal Essences rose hip shampoo. It's really great at adding shine and making my hair smooth and soft (also smells yummy 😋). I've also used the Maui Moisture lightweight hydration shampoo (the pink bottle) and liked it.
Another thing that has been a game-changer for my hair is double shampooing! Because my hair is so straight and fine, it gets oily very quickly. I discovered double shampooing recently (which is just shampooing twice) and it gives my hair a little volume and it can last longer without looking greasy. I do every other day!
For conditioners/leave-ins I highly recommend anything with jojoba oil! My hair LOVES it and since I'm assuming we have similar hair types yours might love it too.
This is an add-on but the Tsubaki Fino hair mask is affordable and makes my hair sooooo shiny!

I’m trying really hard to write a rec that doesn’t just sound like regurgitated marketing lol. This isn’t a shampoo or a conditioner—but a cleansing cream. My hair is super fine and kinda sucks. I used to wash my hair each time I showered because it just got tangled if I wet it and didn’t slather it in conditioner. I’ve been using this product for about 9 months now and it has truly worked wonders. My hair is super soft, looks fuller, and actually feels clean. I only wash it twice a week now and it looks good between washes. It did take some time to get used to, but I’m really happy with it and glad I made the switch!

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
