TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo

After a summer of bleaching and highlighting my hair, it is probably fair to say that my hair is not in the healthiest shape this fall. So in addition to ceasing the bleaching and going with a darker hair color, I decided to give a new shampoo a try. TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo promises to heal your damaged and splitting tresses.

I really must say, this shampoo might have helped if I had purchased it a little earlier, but at this point, I think the only thing that is going to cure my split ends i a haircut.

The pros of this shampoo include that it smells nice and cleans well. The cons are that it costs the same as regular bottle of TRESemme Shampoo, but they seem to have decided to make this bottle noticeably small. True with CVS extrabucks and coupons, I can make this shampoo make less of a dent in my budget, but it's a little disappoint that Split Remedy is not a noticeably better TRESemme Shampoo, but you still get less bang for your buck.

Head & Shoulders Intensive Care Shampoo

So my normally dry scalp is usually even more of a mess during the winter. So this winter months, in order to ensure my scalp didn't look like a snake shedding it's skin... I went on the hunt for a dandruff shampoo and conditioner pair that really packed a punch.

After trying a number of different options, I decided the best shampoo to get rid of stubborn dandruff is Head & Shoulders Intensive Care shampoo.

Head & Shoulders has recently made more of an effort to make their shampoos and conditioners smell more "woman-friendly" as it were... but I should warn you, they did not succeed here. Head & Shoulders Intensive Care shampoo still smells like the Head & Shoulder of the 1980s; however, the demolition of all evidence of dandruff makes the not-so-pleasant smell totally worth it. I usually pair the Intensive Care shampoo with one of the more pleasing smelling Head & Shoulder conditioners, in order to come out with a result that is good for my dry scalp as well as my nostrils.

Not the cheapest shampoo on the market, I usually try to hunt for coupons in the Sunday paper or stock up when I see it on clearance. But if you've got stubborn dandruff, you should give Head & Shoulders Intensive Care shampoo a try, you'll be amazed with the results!

Alberto Vo5 Moisturizing Shampoo in Strawberries and Cream

Alright, so on vacation I typically buy Vo5 shampoos and conditioners, due to the fact that you can get a full bottle for $0.99 or less, whereas some of the travel size shampoos and conditioners can run you up to $1.39 a piece and is 1/32 the size of these containers.

However, you can definitely see what is lacking in the quality. While this shampoo will get your hair clean it is not as nourishing or as nice as some of its more expensive counterparts. Plus the smell of Vo5 Moisturizing Shampoo Strawberries and Cream is particularly overwhelming, and not in a good way. This shampoo smell sweet, very sweet, sickeningly so.

I think the better way to go is stock up on neutral smelling Suave's when they are on sale, the performance and scent of that brand is much better, and with coupons both of the brands are price competitive.

All in all, the price is the only thing that this product has going for it.
