It's rare that I'm amazed by a shampoo and conditioner. I've usually relied on drugstore brands because I couldn't really see a big difference versus the higher-end ones. That is, until I discovered the food of the gods for hair:
Alterna Caviar Volume Shampoo with Seasilk
. And yes, like delectable caviar, this stuff is true indulgence. Why caviar in a hair product, you ask? Caviar Extract is a rich source of nutrients like Omega-3s and antioxidants. It's basically like nutrition for your hair. And my tresses have never felt or looked better, lovelies. It feels softer and smoother and looks shinier. While the Volume formula didn't give me amped-up volume, my hair did look bouncier and less flat than usual. Overall, my locks feel super-manageable and I love that this stuff protects against environmental stresses and sun damage - it's like skincare for my hair! The scent wowed me too - it's a lovely citrusy bergamot fragrance gives me that extra perk-me-up in the morning to go along with my bergamot-fragranced Earl Grey tea. But just like caviar, this stuff doesn't come cheap - it's priced at $30 a bottle. So while it might suit the lifestyles of the rich and famous, I might only use this for special occasions only. But it's been mighty hard not to reach for it every time, let me tell you!
Lovelies, what are your thoughts when it comes to shampoo/conditioner? Do you prefer high or low?

expensive shampoos are good when you're trying to protect your investment (ie, color or highlights) but for some reason, i always feel a little let down by the designer stuff. cheap shampoo seems to lather up better, and i know its all psychological, but to me thick lather = luxury. i'm probably wrong on so many fronts there! i unhappily buy expensive stuff and use it for awhile, then switch over to the cheap stuff mid-bottle. what can i say..i have a short attention span when it comes to shampoo!!!
I hear you, Lydia. It seems some high-end brands don't lather up as much as drugstore ones. and lord knows, I love a good lather too!
lydia--I too have used alterna's caviar and I can honestly tell you--you will not switch back to something cheap mid bottle. This stuff is amazing!
