I always buy Kumquat Paradise shampoo because it makes me feel slightly naughty.

 

OMG! Both :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hystericalf you!

 

I'm a girlie girl. I love the ability to pick a smell and then mix and match my perfume, shampoo, conditioner and body spray. One month it's orange and the next its lavender and the next it's mango something or 'nother and the next it's ocean breeze.

During college I worked at a daycare center to foot the bills and I found the kids were drawn by the yummy smells. I was popular!

But I always buy suave it works just fine ($0.98 a walmart). No expensive stuff for me.

 

The last bottle of shampoo I bought was Suave Tropical Coconut. I didn't buy it for the fragrance though, because I can't smell. It was just cheap.

 

Last time I bought bacon-scented shampoo, I got chased out of a bar by a fat girl.

 

I buy whatever I have a coupon for and is on sale, usually getting it for under 50 cents a bottle and most times for free. Would give anything for Clairol to bring back the original Herbal Essence shampoo....sigh....

 

I sometimes choose the scent but as far as choosing the brand I generally go by what's cheaper. Lately I've been using Mane n' Tail so no girly scent. I, too wish Clairol would bring back Herbal Essence.

 

Dh likes the rosemerry and mint shampoo from walmart. He buys it every time. My skkin is pretty sensitive so most of those shampoos leave me itching. the rosemarry and mint one though is not so bad. I used to like herbal essence, it did not leave me itching at all.

 

I buy for how it makes my hair feel. Garnier is my current brand of choice. Suave makes my hair feel too dry.

 

It isn't just the scent that I often object to, it's the size of the hole in the top. It's physically impossible to get just a little bit of shampoo out. Too thick to run out and if you squeeze the bottle at all you wind up with half a handfull of shampoo.

I have that one right now!! LOVE IT, love it, love it

 

Hubby and boys use Pert+ 2in1
I use Pantene Moisture 2in1

Simple basic.

 

I have that one right now!! LOVE IT, love it, love it

yeah I bought it for him once last year when that flavor first came out and he refuses to use anything else since.

 

My last two dollar style stores yielded White Rain Naturals shampoo sented Apple Blossom and the previous purchase was Suave naturals Juicy Green Apple scent.

Guess it means I go around all day smelling like I've been eating Jolly Rancher Green Apple Fire Styx like candy.

Lesser of the evils and not real girly girly.

Some of the big box stores do carry manly scents either related to soap odors or underarm deodorant odors----for several dollars per container.

 

I am really fussy. It takes me a LONG time to pick out deodorant, shampoo, bodywash, etc. Deodorant/antiperspirant is really hard because I have this 'thing' going where I can't use the same smell twice. I buy one, when it runs out I get a totally different scent. Usually same brand. My first deodorant was a certain smell that they still sell...when I walk into the store I give it a sniff and I am suddenly taken back to being 14, sitting on a bale and having a super cute guy putting his arm around me. Sniff the citrus one, I am taken back to buying my first house, this one takes me back to when my son was a baby, that one takes me back to life at camp...ahhhh memories! They only last a couple months so each smell is a snap shot of my life. I am SUCH a weirdo! lol!

Shampoo and body wash I like to coordinate. Like one day I might go with a citrus theme, or strawberry, or coconut something. I have banana coconut milk shampoo and bodywash. Love it.

Not in a million years would I buy something without smelling it first and smelling every other bottle on the shelf. It has to smell perfect to me. Same with dryer sheets and laundry soap...oh...and I never buy the same smell in dryer sheets twice either. Most of them smell so heavenly I want to try them all. I have gotten my DSO hooked on it too. We stand there in the laundry isle sniffing dryer sheets. He actually said to me the last time "That smells like a nice wintery smell! We should get it for winter and then try that other one we like in the spring!" lol!

 

Well, I buy what's cheapest to use as body wash and sometimes for hair. I also put it in the hand soap pumps. I bought every flavor of Sauve they had last week at Kroger's, 22.5oz bottles for .75. Makes it so much cheaper then regular body wash. For my hair, I'll go a little more expensive. Right now it's Pantene. I also like the Aussie products. If I had normal hair, I'd use any shampoo. Since mine is curly and dry, I do upgrade some.

I forgot all about Herbal Essence. I always liked the way Body on Tap and Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific(now that's telling my age!).

 

I wish they would make shampoo that smells like a pine forest or campfire smoke.

 

I like scented shampoo, and I'm just as happy with the cheap Suave stuff; don't care much what it smells like because the scent doesn't last anyway. Maybe I just get used to it and don't smell it anymore?

I'm pretty sure you can buy the Herbal Essence shampoo (along with several other hard-to-find brands) at Vermont Country Store.

Edit: Not the real thing, but this is supposed to be close: http://bit.ly/g2Nkyb

 

I found this stuff called "Harsher'n Heck Alkaline" shampoo. Strips your hair bone dry much better than the Dawn dish soap/isopropanol mixture I was using. My hair is like the finest straw after using the Harsher'n Heck" formula, and no pesky fru fru fragrances either. My head smells just like the slag heap down at the foundery.... And I haven't had to go pay for a haircut in ages either, because my hair breaks off on it's own.

 

head & shoulders here, smells far more like strawberries than it ever used to lately. Even the cheapo knock off...Gonna make my own as soon as this is gone. Something with essential oils,

 

OH I loved Body on Tap that was great shampoo. Right now I am loving a tea tree shampoo I got at salley's beauty supply.

 

Do NOT buy the bargain-basement brand Fruity Tooty scent.

 

ROFL, my mother bought about 50 bottles of Mario Brothers shampoo back in ('90?) think she paid something like 5 cent a piece, worst shampoo ever, ended up using it on the dog. They just got rid of the last few bottles at their yard sale a yr ago LOL

 

I use homemade goat's milk soap on my hair and use brown sugar or sorghum as a conditioner. I use brown sugar as a body scrub as well. Leaves my skin very soft and my hair soft and shiny.
I don't like funky fake smells on my hair. Smells ok the first day and then..blech!
If I wanna smell good I add some vanilla or cinnamon or ginger to the sugar.

 

Shampoo is Mango Mandarin by Bath&Body Works. Bubble bath is White Citrus by Bath&Body Works. Hand soap is Kitchen Spice by Bath&Body Works. Bath soap is unscented goats milk soap that I'm out of right now but buy it at Walgreens. DH uses Irish Spring soap and Selsun Blue shampoo. Body lotion for dry skin is CO Bigelow Derma Remedy.

I only use All unscented liquid detergent for washing the clothes. Any cheap unscented dryer sheets get used, although they always charge more for unscented than scented. Dish detergent is any cheap citrus scent. Window spray is dollar store cheap stuff.
