what are your favs?
I still seem to use branded stuff and wondered if own brands were as good

I like Boots Essentials. the shower gel is 59p and really nice IMO.

Boots for me too, their 'head and shoulders' is pretty good

I tried Boots' "head and shoulders" but ended up with a snowstorm again, had to go back to actual H&S! It hurts, I NEVER use branded stuff unless I have to!

Asda's own anti-dandruff shampoo is just as good as Head & Shoulders at a fraction of the cost. On offer at the moment 3x400ml bottles for £2.00 as opposed to £3.58 of the branded H&S and that is just for one bottle.

I like tesco own brand shampoo, the coconut one is my favourite, smells lovely - around the 60p mark last time i bought some ....big bottle (About 400 - 500ml?) and lasts aaaaaages (few months?! never counted lol!)

All of aldi's own brand cosmetics are brilliant - as are their moisturisers and cleansers.

i use asda own shampoo ( 12p last time ) and conditioner ( 25p last time ) first i time i used them i was in shock how nice my hair was! i have very thin, fly away hair and the conditioner left my hair smooth but not greasy. Got the whole family using it now!
