Inecto
Their coconut oil conditioner (no silicones) and coconut oil shampoo (sl(es)) is awesome! Their citrus conditioner (silicones) is not bad either.

organix coconut milk s&c - my hair just loves this stuff and i really like the scent! this is rapidly becoming my favoritest. i was doing an experiment in stretching washes this year, and found that this one made me a greaseball sooner, but now that i have given up this quest, i'm hoping i can use it year-round. this coming summer will only tell.
suave tropical coconut s&c - similar deal. hair likes it, i like the scent. i can use this year 'round.
tigi bedhead oatmeal and honey s&c - hair likes this in the winter, it's a little heavy for the summer. this is a good thing, because the stuff is pricey! also, this is how all chai tea should smell.
J/A/S/O/N lavender s&c - smells yummy. my hair likes it in the summer, but doesn't add enough moisture to use in the winter.

Best shampoo:
Dulgon kids for girls. No sulfates, no cones, mostly natural ingredients, very mild. I love it!
Best conditioner:
Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition. There are no cones in it (my hair hates silicones), it's very rich and it works great on my length.

Hm. This is a tough question. I have discovered, or maybe accepted that shampoos dry my scalp out like crazy. So far I haven't found a shampoo that I can label "best I have ever used."
My hair LOVES coney conditioners. I think Pantene curly conditioner (the old line) is probably the best I have ever used. But since I can't really use traditional shampoos, I can't really use this conditioner anymore. The Tresseme cone-free conditioner is a pretty good substitute.

I am in love with the Toadstool shampoos and conditoners I buy from an etsy.com seller. My hair loves them too. :) All of her products rock!

shampoo: l'oreal kids - even though I co most of the time I use it against buildup/chlorine. The scent doesn't linger in your hair so it's easy to make sure you've rinsed it all out :)
conditioner: aussie 3mm is the best :heartbeat I also really like schwartzkopf yoghurt and berries conditioner. It's cheap, fairly heavy and makes my hair really soft.

Best set: Garnier Triple Nutrition for Dry or Damaged hair. WONDERFUL stuff. The condish is cone free (not that I care, truthfully) and makes my hair soft, smooth and obedient, and the shampoo cleans without drying.
Second would be Organix Coconut s & c. My hair feels funky after washing, but once it dries, it's very smooth and the strands stretch farther. Smells great too!
Stand alone conditioner would be L'orael Everstrong Reconstructing Rosemary & Mint Mask. Leaves my colored dry hair soft, sleek and supple. And I LOVE the herbal scent.

I love the organix coconut conditioner. Suave's pomegranate splash conditioner is another of my favorites. Tresseme and pantene conditioners are also on my favorite's list.
In regards to shampoo, I use whatever my mom has in her bathroom. I don't use shampoo that often.

Now that I have spent countless $ on hair products that are only taking up space in my closets(plural) because they aren't "amazing" on my hair, I find there's only one line that I keep going back to because it agrees with both my hair and my scalp:
Aveda Brilliant Shampoo & Conditioner. :crush:
The shampoo cleans my hair without stripping or moisturizing to the point of buildup and doesn't do crazy things to my scalp.
The conditioner conditions and detangles without leaving my hair slimey, stiff, coated, tangled, frizzy, or dry.
Nevermind that it costs more than I want it to cost and that the conditioner smells like men's cologne. :rolleyes: My hair and scalp adore it.
I need to just admit defeat and only use that but I get sick of the scent.
And the price.

I've been on a 'nothing but George Michael haircare' kick for quite a while, and have really been quite happy with them.
I like the Blue shampoo best, but admit that in winter months the Cream Shampoo and the Moisturising shampoo are also very nice when I need/want something richer.
I've been experimenting with the 'oil shampoo' method lately, and using a bit of camellia oil, but I don't feel the need to try other brands of shampoo/conditioner.

At the beginning of my hair journey my hair likes Aussie Moist and Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioners the best, but since it's in better condition those are MUCH to heavy. Suave Naturals became my favourite conditioner. Of course now that I'm using oil shampoo I don't need any conditioner anymore :p

Best shampoos:
Ultra Suave with Avocado oil and Shea butter
Ultra Suave with Cocoa butter and Coconut oil
(they both have sls but are extremely moisturizing)
Best conditioners:
Ultra Suave with Avocado oil and Shea butter
Ultra Suave with Cocoa butter and Coconut oil
I didn't notice before, but this is the first time I've been matching shampoo and conditioners :D
Best (leave-in) conditioner:
Rainforest Moisture from the Body Shop (is blah as a rinse condish, but AMAZING as a leave-in)
*Ultra Suave is also known as Ultra Dolce or Ultra Mild, depending on the country. It doesn't seem to be very popular out there.

I don't care about shampoo; I dilute them to something very mild.
My favorite conditioner was Nature's Gate Rainwater, Sea Kelp, and Aloe -- was being the operative word. They discontinued the formula.

Nutrius shampoo and conditioner. paraben and sulfate free, although the conditioner does have cones. It's an small company and i found them at walmart. Also the whole foods brand shampoo and conditioner in mint or citrus.

For conditioners I'll use pretty much anything, I'm not that picky. But I do like Inecto's Pure Coconut Conditioner, Ultra Doux (pretty much all of them), Gliss Kur and Yes To Carrots.
For shampoo I'm a whole lot more demanding. I swear by Dr Hauschka and I've had a really great one from henna-boy.co.uk made with neem that I urgently need to re-order. It smelled like vegetable soup. :)
I always put a tiny squirt of shampoo in a plastic bottle with some water, shake it up and wash my scalp with the foam. So I do endlessly long with a bottle of Dr Hauschka, which is good because it's expensive.

Best conditioner is definately Garnier Triple Nutrition. The deep treatment is also my favourite :D
