hazza_6660

My hair is coarse, wavy and overprocessed with colour, also, i straighten it very regularly and use styling wax, somedays my hair is nice shiny and easy to style, but others its a disaster, because i change shampoos and conditioners alot i dont really know whats good and whats not.
i just wanna know, whats a good shampoo/ conditioner pair for coarse dry hair that will also clean out the styling wax, should i use a hot oil or some other treatment and how often, and any other tips tricks from people who know stuff about hair.
Thanks!!

Shampoo and conditioners that work for me may not work for you, so its trial and error to find what is best for you. You can go to Makeupalley.com and do a search on shampoos to see what rates best there. Several of us on this blog like to use coconut oil as a preshampoo conditioner. You can get it at health food stores and is inexpensive. I do know that Its a Ten Hair Mask and leave in conditioner get very high marks. I tried the leave in conditioner for the first time yesterday, but its to soon to rate it. It is also suppose to protect you hair from heat damage which is good if you flat iron your hair. There are probably cheaper product that work just as well, but I didn't want to spend the time looking.

As far as how often to condition, I use conditioner every time I shampoo, and deep condition if I think my hair is starting to get dry.

Anne is correct that only through trial and error can you figure out what is best for your hair. However, you might be interested to know that when tested with consumers on a blinded basis (white bottles, generic labels) the following shampoos/conditioners score best.
Pantene

Tresemme

Fructis

Dove
In reality, if you are using conditioner, the shampoo you use is much less important. You could use something like Suave or VO5 as long as you use a good conditioner afterwards.
