		<description>I&#039;m going to have to argue the claim about that the 4 shampoos you listed do not contain conditioners.

Suave&#039;s contains Dimethicone Copolyol, which is a silicone and will coat the heck out of your hair.

AG&#039;s contains hydrolyzed Silk, Keratin and Oat protein, which will coat and condition the heck out of your hair.

Nature&#039;s Gate contains Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, which will coat and condition your hair.

Pantene is the only one that does NOT contain conditioners.

You guys have to be careful, I&#039;m totally into science and figuring out which haircare product to use based on ingredients and not language or claims on the bottle.  I like finding fellow science-minded people so that I don&#039;t have to be skeptical of THEIR claims, and usually I am not skeptical of you guys, but this time you got it very wrong and that worries me.  75% of the shampoos you listed as not have conditioners, DO have conditioners.

I have very fine hair that I flat iron and then push up, so I&#039;m very, very particular about using shampoos that have absolutely no conditioning agents (or at least very,very minimal ones) otherwise my hair will fall flat.

The two clarifying shampoos that I can recommend that have absolutely no conditioning agents are Brocato Peppermint Scrub Shampoo and American Crew Peppermint Cleanse.  Obviously a lot of people won&#039;t like them since they CAN leave your hair tangled if you&#039;re not careful and they strip off all the smoothing products.  But they take your hair to it&#039;s pure, basic (sometimes &quot;roughed up&quot;) state.  At least with my fine, naturally silky hair, that roughed up cuticle helps me get volume and makes it so that my hair can be forced to stick up or do whatever else I want with hairspray, without it collapsing because the hairspray can&#039;t even form a layer over all the silicones and proteins that are coating my hair.</description>

		<description>I use the Suave 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner - LOVE it! It works great, avoids a step, and doesn&#039;t seem to leave a residue. About once a week, I do a first wash with the Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo, then do a second wash with the 2-in-1, just to ensure no residue, and to make the 2-in-1 work even better for the rest of the week. I would love to know if others like this product!</description>

		<description>With regard to the shampoo question, conditioning or squeaky clean, I find my hair does so much better if I continually switch it up.  I use both but am constantly changing.  I have blonde, fine hair and it helps a bunch!</description>
