I went through a couple million pages of old threads and didn't come over a topic like this...maybe I just missed it in my skimming, but if not...
my hair is completely dead. Chlorine build-up, dry and just BLAH. I have asked around at those stores that only sell hair products, and they always reccomend a different one. I can't not calculate how much money I have spent on various hair shampoos and conditioners that were suppose to be GREAT for swimmers. I was wondering what some of you all use. I don't have a problem splurging on a product...if its going to work!

If Mr. Moose was still around maybe he would suggest VO2MAX Shampoo....
Ahhhh, the old days......
;)
Now I am cycling between using:
Nexxus Aloe Rid (Clarifying) Shampoo which strips out the chlorine/chemicals (but seems to dry it further too) with Humectress Conditioner-- or --
Nexxus Therappe shampoo with Keraphix Conditioner.-- Or--
Biolage Matrix Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner
(None of it cheap...)
And sometimes still using a light spray on, leave in conditionerI use Aloe Rid too, but it's become really hard to get hold of round here since a rumour went flying around the internets that it could be used to cheat on the kind of drugs tests that take samples of your hair.
Really! Now I have to buy it on ebay.
I should probably stress that I have no idea whether this rumour is correct or not.
My daughters swim and have dry, thick and wavy hair. They LOVE the Dove Advanced Care Shampoo and Conditioner! (blue bottles)
YAY thats exactly what I have now.

Did I just sing that out loud?!....uhumm must have been something I ate I guess...Anyway....What ever happened to Moosey Moose anyway?....I want to prove to him once and for all that Tennessee is better than TX!!...seriously though....Tom is on a similar type level as Frank Thompson when it comes to swimming history and general simming related factoids....I hope all is well with the Moose these days!!

Last I heard from him was last year. Tom and I were getting on to that other guy about some stuff. He used to email me every once in a while, but last I heard from him was his health wasn't the greatest........
Anyone heard anything?
I miss the Moose!!!!!!!!!
Hair Cleansing Cream by Redkin, available only in Beauty Supply stores. My daughters and I have used it for years. Expensive, but worth every penny. We all have long blond (to middle of the back) hair and it looks so great that no one can believe we swim. Conditional should be whatever works for your hair type. I juse Redkin curl booster. Helps defriz the grays.
hm...three days in my hair has gone curly again and is in much better shape...did you try the dove product thats for dry/damaged hair?

Well I actually just tried a new brand today for the first time, and so far it's great. We'll see how things are in a few weeks.
But Dove has a shampoo/conditioner line thats for severe dryness and damage. its in a dark blue bottle
I tried the dove product and my hair went straight and had no life to it. I didn't like the outcome.
I had previously recommended Aveda products: Detoxifier shampoo and Elixir conditioner. 3rd degree found out that Elixir conditioner is being discontinued- at least that's what it says on their website.
If anyone is interested in using this stuff- and I'd highly recommend it- I'd suggest finding a local salon that carries Aveda products and stocking up. True, its a bit more expensive initially. But the stuff lasts forever. I just paid $9 for a bottle of conditioner that will probably last me 3-4 months.
