Random topic, but I figured I'd get a decent amount of feedback here, so why not ask?
I have thick, frizzy, wavy hair that's very hard to manage. I've tried a gazillion shampoos and conditioners and most of them leave my hair poofy and frizzy. I had been using Living Proof for years, but they recently stopped making the really big bottles of it. Since I have so much hair, I go through them quick and it's just too expensive to use the small bottles.
Now I need to find a new combo that will work and comes in large sized bottles. I'm trialing out Moroccan Oil brand right now since I use their styling products. On the chance that I end up not liking these, does anyone with similar style hair have any suggestions?
Much appreciated!

Hmm... I have similar hair qualities only mine are kind of moderate, but I feel ya on the wild poof thing. Mine is weird. It's really poofy, but more airy and light than thick, if that makes sense.
Anyways, I recently started using this new Aveeno shampoo and holy chickens! I have fell in love with it. I started using it almost 2 weeks ago, and really it's incredible for my hair. It makes it about 5x's more manageable, so if you have to flat iron daily like me, you might love it too!
I've been using a lot of different natural shampoos and sadly, I ain't diggin' em. They just are not making my hair manageable and actually, out of all 6 that I've tried lately, they're making my hair either feel funny, look funny or harder to iron and deal with. Ugh! I'd love to keep with the natural, but I pretty much gave it up a couple weeks ago when I tried the Aveeno.
I've tried the entire Herbal Essence line, especially those that claim to help with the frizz, poof and for flat ironing made easy. They suck and one of the "straight" shampoos from them actually left my hair with a really thick residue that made it feel rubbery and greasy!
I think olive oil helps some, but it's a bitch to deal with since it makes it greasy and you have to really wash good to get it out, but it does do nice things for my hair.
Let's see. I don't like Pantene. It really doesn't help my mess. I have never tried living proof though. I also despise Garnier Fructis in the green bottle. It also gives my hair residue that makes it feel really strange and un-hair like when I touch it, and it's like the hair is glued together when I'm trying to flat iron! WHAT?!
I really can't say I've ever liked a shampoo as much as I'm liking this Pantene. Also, you might find that Dark & Lovely brand to be a God-send if your hair is really tough to manage. I've never used their shampoos, but I use their serums for speeding up flat ironing time and that stuff is incredible! I imagine their shampoos would be really helpful, but I've yet to go out and try them. I really, really want to though!
