Yes I can get a diff. shampoo like John Masters I was just hoping the Organix would work since it is the cheapest. I never would have thought that Kerastase was so bad. In many parts of the world they consider the L'Oreal brand to be amazing!! Glad I know the truth now, better late than never. Should I order the John Masters Conditioner to ?

There is too much damage done by this ingredient. It truly is not that hard to find one shampoo that is the proper pH and is SLS-Free. <BR/>I had many people asking for an inexpensive line of SLS-Free shampoo's so I found the ORGANIX line and felt they were an OK line to recommend. There are a lot of people using that line, with no complaints. <BR/>Shaeden your hair is very damaged, and I guarantee you it is not from that 1 shampoo, its from all the others things you have done wrong over the years. You need to be in the stage of REJUVENATION right now, so a better - even more gentler shampoo might be the best thing for you right now. <BR/>Is that possible for you to get?<BR/>One of the worst things one can do is to use hair care products, colors, shampoos just because you have them 'on-hand'...<BR/>You really need to figure out:<BR/> Your type of hair currently, and purchase a super gentle - pH balanced shampoo and just STICK with it while you go through this period of rejuvenation for your hair. <BR/>Is that possible>?<BR/>I would suggest using John Masters organics Shampoo . . . I just know what a wonderful shampoo this is and I feel fairly secure in recommending it to you.<BR/>Persaonlly, I have never found one of my clients that have ever said anything good about KErastase products . . . they are overpriced for what they are, and are simply just L'Oreal's high end products. I do not mean to be mean and pick on them, but L'oreal just does not have the same vision for healthy hair that I do . So I would stay from them and their products.<BR/>Let me know if this is possible - Shaeden,<BR/>thanks,<BR/>KCKiller Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891634992031900219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-64244589411730462642008-07-20T11:55:00.000-07:002008-07-20T11:55:00.000-07:00KC,I am very interested in this, however it is a b...KC,<BR/><BR/>I am very interested in this, however it is a bit confusing for me. So do diff types of hair need diff amounts of acidic side of the PH scale to get the best results? In this case wouldnt everyone just have to go through a trial period? Also, I have been using a shampoo from the Organix line (available at Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens etc... I feel my hair is dryer now after this last week than before. Organix free of sulfate so this peobably mean the PH level is no good for my hair. In this case would my old shampoo (Kerastase) be better? Even though it does have sulfate. Does one thing cancel out another? Do I even make any sense?<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/>ShaedenShaedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141937392985835762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-85366990385654025652008-07-20T03:15:00.000-07:002008-07-20T03:15:00.000-07:00Splurby,Do you happen to have that shampoo handy? ...Splurby,<BR/>Do you happen to have that shampoo handy? I would love to have the ingredient list, to see if I could figure out what it is that made you so sensitive... are you normally a sensitive type person?<BR/><BR/>I would never recommend Pantene Pro V,those mass produced shampoos are unfortunately made with the cheapest and lousiest ingredient list possible I have found. I try to encourage all clients to spend a couple extra bucks on their shampoo, I find they will on their make-up and skin care and not so much on their hair care. <BR/><BR/>But boy do I try to explain the difference, and trust me it is huge.<BR/>Am not sure what "foam enhancers" are, although the terminology is not what I like to hear. Foam means suds - - - Suds usually means SLS. <BR/>All the gentle - more natural and more organic-type surfactants just do not have that much suds, its just something we have "learned to like" . . . like salt or butter.<BR/><BR/>We need to learn to "unlike" it for the good of our hair.<BR/><BR/>I've recently ordered that new WEN system of hair conditioner-cleanser. I read thousands of comments about how much people like it and its based on a completely different principle. Not using a surfactant ( which means - no suds !!)<BR/>so stay tuned for the report on that...from everything I've read...its very encouraging...if you don't want to waste the $$, I should have the report to you in 2 weeks time. Very encouraging.<BR/>KCKiller Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891634992031900219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-3794804993017293752008-07-20T03:02:00.000-07:002008-07-20T03:02:00.000-07:00anonymous,An acid-balanced shampoo is one that is ...anonymous,<BR/>An acid-balanced shampoo is one that is balanced to the pH of skin and hair (4.5 to 5.5)this is the range I look for.<BR/>the higher the pH rating (more alkaline). the stronger and HARSHER the shampoo is to the hair. <BR/>A high pH shampoo can leave hair dry and brittle, so I would stay away from this range.<BR/>This is the entire solution to finding a great shampoo, but without explaining the pH 'story' prior to this, I never wanted to just throw that out there. <BR/>Now I have told the story, YEE HAW.<BR/>KCKiller Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891634992031900219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-33925127703087173192008-07-20T02:51:00.000-07:002008-07-20T02:51:00.000-07:00anonymous,I would highly suggest calling the compa...anonymous,<BR/>I would highly suggest calling the companies and asking them the pH of 'whatever' shampoo...know why?<BR/><BR/> That will give them the kick-in-the-butt they need to start printing it on the bottle, as they should. <BR/><BR/>These companies KNOW that pH is important, again I blame them for wanting to keep the public 'in-the-dark'. <BR/>I want to educate you, they want to keep you dumbed-down. Which is ridiculous, we are naturally a 'smart' breed I feel. Eventually we begin looking for the REAL answers not what they want us to know.<BR/>I have a pH meter ($50.00) which I suppose is unnecessary unless you are a tech-y nut like me. There are pH Strips, I will get some and test them against my meter to see how accurate they are, although i would imagine they are close enough for this situation. <BR/><BR/>I will let you know on this - in the coming weeks.<BR/>So glad to hear you interested in this , an important subject.<BR/>KCKiller Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891634992031900219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-67735222154362323212008-07-20T02:42:00.000-07:002008-07-20T02:42:00.000-07:00Mrs. MGreat, I thought I lost everyone's interest....Mrs. M<BR/>Great, I thought I lost everyone's interest.
