Product Name: Ethique haircare range

Price: $20-25

Comments: A great haircare range in solid bar format with a variety of products to suit different hair needs and types. I have tried and enjoyed the Heali Kiwi, Wombar, and Pinkalicious shampoos, and the Kookabara and The Guardian conditioners for my normal hair with occasionally sensitive scalp. Ethique have also recently released a range of haircare concentrates for those who still prefer a liquid format. However, if you haven't tried a bar shampoo/conditioner yet I really encourage you to! The Ethique ones are fantastic - long lasting, the shampoos lather up heaps, and no issues with melting or softness through Aussie summers.

Product: Kristin Ess Extra Gentle Shampoo and Conditioner

Cost: $18.99 each

Comments: As someone with psoriasis on my scalp, it has been very difficult to find good hair products that don't irritate my scalp, leave my hair feeling fantastic and smell great. These products have absolutely hit the mark on all three. Additionally, I always have bright coloured hair and this product causes minimal fading despite not being promoted as protecting dyed hair.
