Ulta shampoo sale- which brands would you recommen

[cransplash]

I have been trying to educate myself on better shampoo brands, and I just got Ulta's catalog with shampoos on sale. I will pick up a Nature's Gate shampoo, but am also looking for other recommendations.

FWIW, I have thick hair and lots of hair, a bit wavy but mostly straight. Dry hair too.
Can you recommend some good ones for me to try?

Brands on sale are:
- Redken
- Matrix
- Joico
- Brocato
- AG Haircare
- ABBA
- Bonacure
- Kenra
- Bed Head
- Big Sexy Hair
- Rusk
- Wella
- Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Oil

I second PM tea tree oil. In fact I should probably pick up some.

I have really thick, semi-curly, normal to oily hair. I only wash my hair once a week, and this shampoo keeps it really clean for that whole week.

Is this for the liter sale? I got a mailer about it, but when I tried to look for it on their current online ad, I didn't see anything.

I'm going to pick up the AG Colour Saver shamp/cond. It's sulfate free and I've used it in the past and loved it. I have dry, thick shoulder length hair. Naturally wavy, I switch up wearing it wavy with mouse or blow-out/flat iron

Blonde super straight med length hair that's prone to oiliness and gets very dirty due to hot yoga and running. It's amazing on my hair

I've used Joico Moisture Recovery and Intense Hydrator and I love it.

I sometimes switch to a different brand (one that's usually on sale that I can get at CVS) but I always go back to Joico.

Ooo, this sounds intriuging! Is it sulfate-free and/or good for colored hair?

I know they have a specific sulfate free shampoo, but I dont think all of them are.

I have used it with brown, red and blonde colored hair and never noticed a difference in fading or anything.

I have thick, coarse, curly/wavy hair that is highlighted and SO dry right now. I like the ABBA moisture line pretty well. I think I'm going to pick some during the sale.

THanks SSwife!

[pixy0stix]

How long is the sale going on?

[Laura Palmer]

I love love love Wella shampoo (the red bottle).

[sallybrown]

Redken All Soft! I have blonde hair that's prone to being greasy at the roots and dry on the ends. I've been using this for almost five years now - I used to switch back and forth but have no need to with this. It's amazing. Very good for dry, coarse hair.

[hz80408]

Also, fyi for anyone who doesn't get mailers, the sale starts Sunday!

[xokell2]

And Sunday is also the start of the $1.00 waterproof eyeliners I'm obsessed with!

Thanks everyone!

Shit. DEVA rarely goes on sale.

Do you have a Deva salon near you? Mine puts Deva liters on sale in June and December for 20% off. They have a ton of Deva clients and do this to keep them.

OP, I've used Joico Reconstruct in the Summer since it has keratin. It does have sulfates though. I use that on pool days. I have a ton of fine hair that can be oily or dry depending on the day. I use Alterna Caviar Volumizing regularly and love it. My Mom uses their moisture formula on her thick, wavy hair and there is a noticeable difference. Her hair is really dry due to coloring and her age.

I love Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Oil. I don't know that my hair looks any better when I use it, but I love the scent and way it makes my scalp tingle.

AG Color Saver

Would you recommend this for non-color treated hair?

I use their Color Endurance. It's great for fading but seems to build up on my hair over time. For color my favorite is Goldwell Dual Sensories- awesome stuff. That's not included in the sale, so I'll probably pick up some of the AG which is also good.

Tea Tree is marketed to oily sclap and oily dandruff customers. It is great stuff, my teenaged son uses it. He has a ridiculous head of medium textured wavy hair unlike his mom's fine hair.

For the OP: My niece has your hair, she like the Redken Butter Treat as a conditioner. It's amazing.

[auntie]

The Wella Color line is excellent as well.

If you have Beauty Brands around you, their liter sale starts Monday and they will have more brands as well.

Redken, I love the blonde bombshell, all soft, and the red bottle for color treated hair.
