yikes, I'd stop using it IMMEDIATELY! :p

I love the Garnier Fructis product line for hair! Maybe they have something you're looking for. I LOVE to use both their 'sleek & shine' shampoo and conditioner during the winter... far less static problems. :p I tried their moisturizing shampoo and it's really wild! it has tiny beads in it and feels like it's almost carbonated, lathers up really thick, and makes my hair squeak like crazy as I rinse it. :o) I have a ton of hair and it made mine super-voluminous so it might be a great shampoo for you.

A while ago, I picked up the trial sizes of the Clear Scalp "nourishing" shampoo and conditioner. I admit that I used the 2 only once -- I didn't like the way my hair felt, and with my hair not as thick as it once was, I think I probably saw a lot more hair in the drain cover than I wanted to. I'll try it another time or two before I decide whether to toss them.

As for squeaky hair, I think there's still a debate over whether that's stripping too much beneficial stuff from the hair. I know hair is dead, but ...

Now, Moroccan oil is the "in" thing for shampoos and styling products to add. I do want to try one just to feel my hair after that, but I'll only buy trial sizes for this type of stuff. WalMart had some brand -- Pantene, I think -- in a huge bottle -- way too much shampoo. Hate feeling stuck with a huge bottle.

I like the Garnier line too. One of my favorites is their Hydra Recharge shampoo. I also use their root booster regularly and "Shake Effect" gel sometimes.

Pammyfay, I was given a pricey Moroccan oil shampoo. It was a little heavy for my fine hair, and I felt it also darkened a bit (a big no-no! LOL).

I'm wondering if Unilever will find itself facing a big class-action law suit over hair loss.

Hydra Recharge is the one I called "moisturizing", so I guess that was a good suggestion. lol!

Have you tried taking biotin? it will usually increase hair growth -- but everywhere -- meaning head, legs, etc.

My 85-year-old scalp ...

... is, well, almost clear ...

... over the top, at least.

Why is it that men's hair seems to stay intact around the edges ... where it continues to need cutting??

Shampoo should be just plain mild soap to remove dust and dirt.(Unless you only shampoo during your annual bath! LOL) Rinse well. The conditioner adds back clean 'texture' stripped -- along with the dirt -- by the shampoo..

Lotsa lather is meaningless, and usually means the formula contains the chemical laureth sulfate to make it foam.

Talk to a dermatologist for recommendations. Ours walked the aisles of drug stores and learned that most shampoos and body washes contain formaldahyde (has other names) as a preservative -- and sodium laureth for 'foam'.

DH uses plain, cheap glycerin bar soap for hair and body -- after having bad skin reactions to things he'd used for decades..

PartyMusic, I took biotin a couple of years ago when I lost hair from being out in the sun while taking doxycycline. I think it worked; in any case, my hair grew back. ;-)

Perhaps I should take it preemptively starting today.

Here's the commercial I was talking about. Miranda Kerr should be careful tugging on her hair . . . it might come off in her hand.

Clear shampoo commercial

When I shampoo and it starts to "not" work anymore, It is a build up... so I unpoo.... I use baking soda and warm water to wash my head and hair... then rinse with apple cider vinegar.... no your head won't smell if you rinse with clear warm water after....

Really really soft shiny hair.

I was listening - not watching - someone on television just within the last couple of days recommending the baking soda to remove dulling products buildup in hair, have not taken the time to try it yet. I'm not sure my hair is particularly dull, but I do use product, a styling gel, light spray...

I couldn't see how much baking soda she was using with my back to the TV and doubt measuring is necessary, but she was saying to mix it with a couple tablespoons of your own shampoo, wash, rinse, once every week or two.

Morz8, baking soda is a exfoliant/abrasive, etc. I wash my face daily with baking soda plus cephafil, about a tablespoon of each.

I'd use 1/2 and 1/2 shampoo and baking soda for the results desired.

I keep a plastic bottle of baking soda in the shower for everyday facial scrubbing.
