Here’s a news story that address the age-old question about using matching shampoo and conditioner.
FDA: Juicy Green Apple Conditioner Best Used With Juicy Green Apple Shampoo
WASHINGTON, DC—According to a warning issued by the Food and Drug Administration Monday, a generous amount of Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple Conditioner should always be applied evenly and massaged into wet hair after washing with Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple Shampoo.
“This is absolutely essential for optimal shine, shimmer, and texture,” said FDA spokeswoman Linda Mergens, who urged Americans to grab the product off the shelves and buy it after health officials discovered that the shampoo contains vitamin E, which is crucial for bringing out the natural beauty in hair. “Consumers should never under any circumstances mix Suave Naturals Juicy Green Apple Conditioner with Pert Plus, as it may impair luster.”
The FDA also warned that failure to use the product properly could result in hair not smelling like apples.
In case you couldn’t tell, the aforementioned FDA press release is a joke. We reprinted this story from The Onion, one of our favorite humorous websites, because we thought it was SO appropriate! The truth is, there’s very little technical reason to worry about matching shampoo and conditioner. You may want to match functional type (use moisturizing shampoo with moisturizing conditioner and volumizing shampoo with volumizing conditioner) but the brand doesn’t make THAT much difference.

the thing is…. they are usually on sale together……
yeah i’m already experimenting this. as i’m using Nutrogena shampoo with Garnier Fructise Conditioner and i get excellent result every time.
I buy one of several brands, depending on what is on sale, and so unless I happen to run out of both at the same time (rare), my products usually don’t match. The only thing you really need to watch out for is that some scents do NOT mix well!
I am trying to get in the habit of better products for my hair in my life – cause it does make a difference.
My long hair tends to get tangled after shampooing. So I always have to condition my hair. Most conditioners weighed my hair down or left hair feeling oily & usually took forever to dry. After using the Shielo Volume Conditioner – I LOVED how it got really easy to comb through my hair. And it also got easy to dry my hair leaving it shiny with volume.
This volumizing conditioner is my personal favorite. The ingredients are all natural and the results effective.I have very fine hair and this is my absolute favorite conditioner.
