Altering My Shampooing Technique Has Improved Hair Quality

[hair_tomorrow]

For almost 1 year - I've been shampooing, rinsing, shampooing again, and then rinsing again (Shampooing first time w/ the old standby <Nioxin or Revivogen> and then shampooing the 2nd time with a more specialized shampoo <nizoral or nano>)

And for almost 1 year - my hair has been very dry (Duh) - BUT, I attributed the dryness to other topicals.

I'm not sure why - but a few weeks ago I just started shampooing once (adding the Revivogen and Nizoral, or the Revivogen and Nano together in a small amount).

Since I've changed my shampooing method - I don't have to condition hardly at all, and my hair looks fuller, bouncier, and healthier. (OK, I'm still a 5A - but I'll take what I can get).

Just thought I'd pass it along.

My girlfriend told me hair becomes "tolerant" cosmetically to shampoos so we never buy the same shapoo in a row (we buy the half liter salon size shampoo bottles so they last a long time.) I think this is true because Infusiom23 worked great for me for a year and so did TIGI thickening formula and they both sort of fizzled out. So what you say makes perfect sense.

So I have switched to Jason's Thin to Thick yesteday to see how it goes. Damn this stuff is pricey for a small bottle!

I think we just need to lay off using the same thing for too long. I am certain I could easily go back to Infusiom23 right now, and TIGI thickening formula in a few months and it would have the same cosmetic effect it used to have.

By the way, thanks for the recommendation on this a while back Old Baldy. I saw some by chance at a health food store while I was buying some loose tea. Funny small to it like all natural products that you find at a health food store. Sort of that organic minty smell. Should I get the conditioner as well?

One more thing, it says it has fruit acid in it, is it salicylic acid?

Any chance anyone knows the answer to this?

I would also recommend Pantene Full and Thick. It will cost you about $4 bucks.

I'd recommend using an anti-residue/build-up remover shampoo once in a while too.

Nizoral every day

I would guess fruit acid would be citric acid.

While youre talking about shampoos, just why is it I cant use my nizoral 1% otc every day? I like it, because it doesnt leave my hair as heavy as head and shoulders (which has zinc in it, so I thought it made sense to alternate).

Thanks

Ok it says it on the front and I missed it. It has Alpha Hydroxy acid which is a lot like Salisylic Acid which is an exfoliate.

So two things here..

1 Jason's thin to thick probably should not be used everyday
2 You should probably dump any form of salisylic acid you are using it yo use Jason's thin to thick

VERY good product regardless.

As for Nizoral everyday, it strips your hair with over use. Use it to long and tyour hair will be like straw and your scalp will be very dry.

The women in my house love Pantene shampoo and conditioner - but they don't use the Full and Thick variety. They swear by it.

I use Pantene Pro-V Classic Care Conditioner and it seems just fine.

Yeah - I'm pretty sure that's what they use. It's full of all kinds of vitamins and other good ingredients isn't it?
