Two in one shampoo and conditioner

Does anyone use these? My friend and a work colleague use them and both have healthy nice hair.

I don't. I find that they don't work for me as well as separate products. I buy the cheapest possible shampoo, but have to spend a lot on conditioners to make my hair look and feel good. I tried two in one options, but my hair ended up either overly greasy or dry and broken.

A hairdresser warned me off these. She said that if you use them regularly they can create such a build up that your hair ends up feeling like plastic.

Even some conditioners can do that tbh.

2 in 1s may be ok for finer hair, but I wouldn't like to try and get a comb through my hair after using one of them. Like Lagoon, I don't mind what shampoo, but has to be a good conditioner. Although I've just had at least 4" cut off and it might be easier

My DD is a hairdresser and tells clients that they should avoid 2 in 1 products. I think it's something they're taught in college.

I sometimes use them, it depends on the length of my hair. At the moment it is quite short, so I am using the Aussie one. When it's longer I do find I need a separate conditioner to get the tangles out.

I wouldn't use them myself but my hubbie and son use them all the time, hubbie has short hair, son has choppy 'ID' sort of style. The best ones I've found are Pantene classic and dove, herbal essences was horrible

I've used them for years on both long and short hair. Different formulas suit different people and it's a matter of trial and error. When I had long hair, I loved Fructis as it added a bit of weight to my unruly wavy hair. Now it's very short and Herbal Essences is my favourite. I'm currently using VO5 Revive me Daily, but I'm finding it a bit heavy. Avoid Wash and Go like the plague as it's very drying and seems to give everyone dandruff :eek:
At the moment, I tend to use them in the week and then separate products at the weekend, but that's only because I've been gifted the shampoo and conditioner and need to use them up

I've used the Pantene 2in1 one and off for years and my hair is in good condition (I have thick, mid length ash blonde hair with highlights) but I always use a separate conditioner afterwards too. It would be interesting to know exactly why 2 in 1 products are not recommended by some hairdressers x
