What shampoo do you use?

Trader Joe's tea tree shampoo (and conditioner)…the ingredient list looks pretty decent and the price is reasonable.

I use Aveda Scalp Balance - it isn't cheap but it only takes a little and works with my sensitive scalp and psoriasis. I get the really big bottle that lasts me about 2 years - which is how I justify spending so much for shampoo. I am curious about the Trader Joe's tea tree shampoo though and will give it a shot.

I generally just condition and use something (baking soda, salt, etc) as as scalp scrub every once in a while, but when I absolutely need a bit of a shampoo - mainly if I've been wearing a hat a lot, I use a dab of TJ's Tea Tree Tingle. It doesn't have sodium laureth so it is not super sudsy, but it does a good job.

Big Sexy Hair. I have baby-fine, straight hair. It makes my hair tons less flat.

de-luxe Rosemary Mint from Drugstore.com. It has a nice scent, not overwhelming.

Thanks very much for your input.

I tried the TJ's Tea Tree shampoo. But it stripped all the oils out of my hair. Again I'm wiping many strands of hair off my hands with a washcloth. Is it just me? Is shampoo supposed to do this, and I'm just expecting the wrong thing?

The Ogx coconut water and coconut milk shampoos are available in trial sizes according to the Ulta website. Not sure why you would use one vs the other other. There's an Ulta near my office so I will look for them there.

Any suggestions on what to do with various shampoos and conditioners that you don't want anywhere near your hair? Other than throwing them out and kissing all that money goodbye?

(Sorry I'm very cranky today. I seriously gained about 10 lbs in water weight while I slept. I can barely fit into my "loose" jeans right now. I hate perimenopause.)

Take the Trader Joes one back. They guarantee their products and if you don't like it, they will refund you. Otherwise, not sure. I don't have that issue unless my thyroid is dosed too low - so no help there.

These two points seem like maybe they go together.

If you don't hate hate hate them you can use them for hand washing you laundry.

^ what she said. Trader Joes shampoos are nearly always great.
