I started using this shampoo when the treseme shampoo I was using before it gave me horrible dandruff. I was converted pretty quickly when it smelled amazing, got rid of nearly all the dandruff within three or four washes and left my hair (frizzy and curly and super thick) feeling and looking pretty great. I wouldn’t use anything else now.
So I definitely thought this shampoo and conditioner was only if you had dandruff and problem hair – Until one day I was at my sisters and decided to use it.. Converted straight away!! I have never had a shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so silky and smooth before! I have long curly and some what frizzy hair and this duo tames the mane!
Sunsilk really does make my hair silky. I think it is the conditioner that works so well. The one thing that I don’t like (as many shampoo and conditioners are like) is that the shampoo bottle and the conditioner bottle look so similar when I get into the shower without my glasses to read. I write in big permanent ink letter “Cond” and “Shampoo” so I can tell the difference. Sunsilk really does help with getting rid of tangles in my fine hair.
Pantene shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. I have used it for years. Even my hairdresser agrees that it is suitable for coloured hair. I would never change from Pantene. Even though it is for coloured hair I use it on my Grandchildren . They love smell and feeling afterwards, they think it is a real treat to use Nannys Shampoo and Conditioner. I have even used it on my Staffy!!
My favourite shampoo. Loreal Elseve colour protect.
I have been using this shampoo for years now. I am not even sure how long. I know that you are supposed to change each six months, but I simply can not. Maybe for a wash or two, but not an entire bottle. This stuff is great. It keeps your hair soft, clean, nourished, shiny, and really protects that colour. Smells amazing too.
My 86 year old Mum was going crazy with an itchy scalp for over a year – she changed products in desperation, including purchasing some very expensive shampoos and conditioners. She had no idea exactly why she was itching herself crazy, even after using all natural ingredients. Eventually she thought to give Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo and Conditioner a go, reasoning that surely it must be gentle enough if it can be used on the delicate scalps of babies … and voila, straight after the first use, the itching ceased … and she is SO happy about it!
Am usually fine with just using Sukin, however with my third pregnancy my scalp has been terrible! I tried a few natural solutions first but nothing worked. Then tried Cedel – instant difference! I now just use it once a week & it keeps my scalp under control. Can’t wait to be back to normal again!
I’m in love with the Sukin Organics Protein Shampoo & Conditioner. At $19.95 for 1L, it’s pricier than regular brands but probably the cheapest true organic one. I love that it helps minimise the nasties I put onto my skin, is great for my fussy scalp & hair, I can use it on the kids, and a little goes a long way so it’s actually pretty good value too for the quality you get.
This shampoo is amazing! It smells delicious, it leaves my hair soft and silky and not at all oily. The price cannot be beat (in true Aldi fashion). The bottle is cute and being small it doesn’t take up too much shower space. I definitely have and will continue to recommend this awesome shampoo.

I have recently been using Organic Care Dry Nourish Shampoo and Conditioner and I have been really please with the results. After having and breastfeeding two kids my hair has changed completely and is now really dry. I find this shampoo and conditioner is really effective for dry hair, unruly hair, it has a great scent and seems to be free from all the nasties you find in other brands. It’s readily available at the major supermarkets and best of all it’s cheap! Great value hair care!
I love Loreal Elvive shampoos. I used to buy their colour protect shampoo, but then with pregnancy I stopped colouring my hair and no longer needed to use that one. I have recently switched to the Extraordinary Oil variety instead. Loreal keeps my hair really soft and tangle free for a while. It helps to maintain the balance of oils in my hair. The only thing that I don’t like with this one is the smell, but it is growing on me.
Sunsilk really does make my hair silky. I think it is the conditioner that works so well. The one thing that I don’t like (as many shampoo and conditioners are like) is that the shampoo bottle and the conditioner bottle look so similar when I get into the shower without my glasses to read. I write in big permanent ink letter “Cond” and “Shampoo” so I can tell the difference. Sunsilk really does help with getting rid of tangles in my fine hair.
I am really impressed by the Goldwell Kerasilk Reconstruct Shampoo.
This shampoo is pearl-coloured and I could really feel it cleansing my hair. No need to wash my hair twice – it cleaned my hair first go (unlike some really cheap & nasty shampoos).
It left my hair smelling nice and feeling silky even before following up with the Goldwell Kerasilk Reconstruct Conditioner.
I couldn’t believe how soft and tangle free my hair became when I started to use Sunsilk brilliant shine (the one in the pink bottle). I think it is the conditioner that is making the difference. It has a beautiful scent as well. I wait for when it is on special to buy as it can get expensive.
The brand fruits although it is rather cheap is actually a good shampoo, I find it is one of the better cheap shampoos.
I was using this before I got dermatitis on my scalp and I did love using the shampoo and I absolutely love the smell of this shampoo, I’m quite sensitive to perfume and it gives me headaches but I find this scent is actually quite pleasent and doesn’t affect me which is a bonus.
I get dermatitis on my scalp so my scalp gets itchy and irratated and a doctor recommend me head and shoulders. Honestly my experience with this brand is horrible.
it didn’t work and the perfume from the shampoo was overwhelming and made my head spin to the point I almost fainted.
it took ages for me t o be able to get the pursue smell out and I thought perfume was a irritant, so why is it in a shampoo for sensitive scalps.
I will never buy this again and I don’t recommend
This shampoo is perfect for hair that has been coloured, I’ve used this shampoo for a few years and I found it to not only have a really nice gentle smell, it helps keep the hair stay bright and fresh just like it’s just been coloured and the best part is that it doesn’t irratated my skin and I have fussy skin.
it may be a salon bought shampoo but it’s worth the money, I was definitely happy with the results.
natural shampoo that's good for itchy, dry and irratated scalp
The brand moogoo has by far been the best shampoo and products I have ever tried, I get a irratated dry scalp which can some times be caused from dermatitis and this shampoo has stopped my itchy dry irratated scalp and cleared it all up within a couple washes. I’m so pleased because at times I’d find myself scratching until I had a sore
Pantene shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. I have used it for years. Even my hairdresser agrees that it is suitable for coloured hair. I would never change from Pantene. Even though it is for coloured hair I use it on my Grandchildren . They love smell and feeling afterwards, they think it is a real treat to use Nannys Shampoo and Conditioner. I have even used it on my Staffy!!
I buy Tresemme for the family. It is very versatile which means I only have to buy one bottle for all the family. It leaves everyone’s hair soft and silky. I have tried many others but this is the best so far. Having mostly males I don’t want to get anything too expensive or they will only waste it by using too much each time
My favourite shampoo. Loreal Elseve colour protect.
I have been using this shampoo for years now. I am not even sure how long. I know that you are supposed to change each six months, but I simply can not. Maybe for a wash or two, but not an entire bottle. This stuff is great. It keeps your hair soft, clean, nourished, shiny, and really protects that colour. Smells amazing too.
My Shampoo is OGX I found it at Aldi and the first few times i didnt buy it as i always thought that cheap stuff was nasty and no good so when i finally got it i was amazed at everything about it, especially the fact that it was cheap yet good quality.The smell stays all day which is refreshing and my hair is always silky soft. It has the Argan Oil of Marocco and is also Sulphure free…
So I found this last week at Chemist Warehouse. I was going to buy my regular Moisture Rich Treseme, but I decided to try this out seeing it is Paraben free, free of dyes and silicone.
My hair looks and feels very clean and is much softer than normal. The coconut smell is just gorgeous and lasts at least 2 days. I was sniffing my hair non stop. I’m really pleased. I definitely recommend it.

I love Loreal. I recall reading that you’re supposed to switch your shampoo every six months. I did that in my early 20s and tried every shampoo on the market. Once I found Loreal I never went back to any other brand. It makes my hair shine, it handles hairdrying well. It is soft, and it smells great. i’d never use anything else again (I just now switch between WHICH loreal product I use).
I have been using this product for easily the last 5 years. I have tried a number of different varieties, but currently am using the Moisture Rich formula and have been for quite some time now. My hair is naturally wavy with great tendency to frizz. I straighten my hair after every wash, and this shampoo provides my hair with the most silky smooth results. Every time.
I remember once a lovely older lady asked me what I use on my hair while I was at a park with my kids. She commented on how shiney and healthy my hair looked. Needless to say I was flattered, but I had to give the credit to Tresemme. In addition to it being great on my hair, it is so cheap! Often on special for $5 for 1lt. Awesome!

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
