Looking for a gentle daily shampoo (lemmy.world)

Please recommend me a shampoo! I have 2b/2c wavy hair. I currently use tresemme flawless curls shampoo+conditioner 2x/week. I'm looking to start using a gentle shampoo more often now that it's summer and I'm working out 6 days a week.

US drugstore brands preferred but I wouldn't mind driving to a cosmetics store to stock up. :)

(I hope it's okay to post here - the hair communities I could find are all inactive.)

I have similar wavy hair and use Shea moisture's coconut and hibiscus shampoo. I don't use it six times a week tho.

I know that US walmarts sell them. Don't know where else.

Thanks! I'm probably going to try it 3x a week with the tresemme on weekends. I just hate my head being stinky.

And happy 🍰 day!

I have similar wavy hair, though it’s only a little bit longer than shoulder length. I’ve been using Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk bond building shampoo and conditioner. I didn’t like their regular moisture variety but for some reason I really like the bond building formula. I originally found it at Target.

Mine is mixy wavy and curly (2c I would call it) and very coarse/strong hair. I do work out most days and live in Florida, so it's hot & rainy now, but can still get away with every third day shampoo, even though I do have to restyle each day.

Shampoo day 1, rinse completely and restyle day 2, rinse, condition (NOT wash with conditioner just rake it through and rinse almost all out) and restyle day 3.

I love, love the Malibu C hard water shampoo.

Innersense Hydrating line is amazing, but probably too expensive for a daily shampoo.

One you should try is the Jessicurl gentle shampoo, they sell in liters, so if you like anything they have (I like Confident Coils) you can buy a liter so the price per use isn't bad.

And waves are curls, just a looser shape. Of course you are welcome.

Thanks for the detailed comment !

I bought the Cantu suggested by another commenter. My hair is more curly than wavy now haha. But I will save your suggestions for future reference.
