Need a new shampoo/conditioner

There_Goes_Trouble

I need recommendations for a new shampoo/conditioner, if anyone can help me. I've never found one I really like.

My hair is blond, long, not coloured or otherwise treated. It's what you'd probably call 'normal' in that it doesn't get greasy and it isn't dry. It doesn't need washing every day.

However, I play a lot of sport in the evenings so I often have to wash my hair when it wouldn't naturally need it because of getting sweaty. Usually I shampoo it when I've been running because it'll be very sweaty, but if I've just been playing badminton it won't be too bad so I'll just rinse it thoroughly and condition it, but not shampoo.

I don't heat style it very much any more unless I'm going out, I try and let it dry naturally and only straighten the whole lot for nights out which are few and far between. My only exception to that is I do sometimes straighten my fringe in the morning if I slept on it slightly damp, because it develops a horrible kink right in the front then!!

I'd like to find a shampoo/conditioner brand with as few harmful chemicals as possible, e.g no SLS or silicone and all the other stuff I read about being harmful, and something gentle for hair that has to be washed when it doesn't naturally need it.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Yup. These people: http://www.handmadenaturals.co.uk/

I swear by their stuff. The shampoos are excellent

Oooh, that looks nice!! A bit more expensive than I'm used to though, does it last as long as normal shampoo?

You mean the amount in the bottle or the effect on your hair?

Haha the amount in the bottle.

Er, yeah think so. I have short hair but it seems to last a while.

Thanks! Just noticed their soaps can be used on hair too! That's much cheaper! Will have to have a good read of the website and compare with what anyone else can recommend as well, thank you!!

Am also thinking Christmas presents....

I recently started using Tigi Bedhead which I'm pretty sure is Paraben and SLS free. I got the Colour Goddess set and it smells like Creme Brulee. Yum! Two mahoosive 750ml bottles for £17.50.

Thanks. Will look it up online and see their ingredients. I saw Tigi bedhead in TK Max last weekend so could maybe get a good price on that.

Edited: Hmmm, not sure it's really all that natural!!
