Does Your Shampoo Have To Match Your Conditioner?

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.

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!
