Power Wash question

[SqrpioQutie]

ok, for you ladies who have either used, still use or used to use Surge's Power Wash Shampoo, what were your experiences?? I use that as my once a week shampoo but i'm not sure if i'm liking it... is it too protein filled to be used with a protein conditioner (i usually follow it with Lamaurs)... or maybe i just need to add a lot of moisture back in after using them both... i CW daily and i find that after my weekly shampoo/protein cond. it takes at least 2 days for my hair to get back to normal (regular and not dry)...

hit me with some knowledge please!!!

I got some at an LHCF meeting along with some other Surge products and I used it once and never touched it again. It made my hair all dry and tangled. I don't know if it's the protein or what, but it did not agree with my hair. It's too harsh or something. Your hair shouldn't have to recover from a wash day. After a fresh wash it should be at its best. You might want to try a milder shampoo.

I think I kept this because it didnt have parabens listed, but when I used it it stripped my hair too much. I dont use it often, I mostly use it to wash my brushes and make up brushes.

Well, I really like the Powerwash and it works really well as a clarifying shampoo for me.....it also helps to detangle my hair whenever I take out braids.....so personally, I really like this shampoo.

BTW...this is a concentrated shampoo, so make sure you dont use too much. I still dont like how my hair feels with it tho.

I use it. I rally like the reuslts the key for me was to cut back on the number of times I washed a week now it's only twice. I only use a little and I only lather once. It is great at removing gel and product build up. I also used it after swimming. I use it with other surge products as well.

well after reading the posted replies, i can already see that i was using too much of it... so that's easy enough to correct...

Actually, I bet it does make a good clarifying poo as long as you condition well afterwards :scratchch
It might work well to mix it with water in a bottle first to make sure you don't use too much of the shampoo in your hair. I used it long time ago so I don't remember how much I used; Maybe it was too much. Shoot, now I want to hold on to it in case I have an emergency clarifying need or if I go swimming or something. See, this is why I've got all these old bottles of stuff I won't get rid of.. "What if it comes in handy?"
It does have sodium laureth sulfate in it though, and I'm trying to avoid the sulfates right now Guess I'll just let it continue to collect dust under my sink until I figure out what I want to do with it...

It really does. I used it yesterday and it also helps with detangling tangled up hair, I usually buy 3 bottles at a time.

actually i used it again for the first time in a long time on sunday.. but i only used a little bit this time, and then i followed it with a super long deep condition (Silicon Mix)... my hair came out really moisturized after all that, so i figure it really was the combination fo what i was using the amount of power wash...
