It’s not very often that I share a product I use. I feel kinda weird about it – like it’s a personal detail not meant for the world to know. And there’s so many reviews out there from mommy bloggers that I imagine my two cents really aren’t valuable. But as you can tell from my ever-so creative title, I’m going to tell you about my favorite shampoo.

I’ve been using this shampoo for a little less than a year, and I will be very upfront and tell you that I will use this shampoo for the rest of my life or until it goes off the market. (Please, dear little shampoo, for my sake don’t ever go out of production.)

Since most of you don’t know me in real life and those of you who do probably never paid much attention to my hair, here’s my hair type …

• Thin
• Fine strands
• Lots of hair
• Oily

Okay – thin but lots of hair? Yep. Hairstylist are amazed at my head. Seriously, I’ve lost track of how many stylists have commented on my having thin hair but a lot of it. I think it has something to do with having baby fine strands of hair. If I pulled all of my hair back into a ponytail, the ponytail is about as thick as my pinky finger, maybe smaller. Honest.

Once my hair gets past a certain length, I have to have a perm. Otherwise my hair lays flat and limp. And I have to wash my hair every single day because it is oily. Now for the first time in my almost 34 years, I actually have straight (other than natural wave) shoulder-length hair (that I still wash every day but it’s straight!). I’m totally excited about it too!!!

Are you curious to know what shampoo I use?

First, let me tell you the list of shampoos that I’ve used in the past … Herbal Essences (loved it til they reformulated), Suave (okay except it made my head itch if I used it more than a couple of times), Head and Shoulders (great for flaking, not so good for volume or anything else) and who knows what else, but those were my most recent shampoo trends.

Are you ready?

My favorite shampoo in the entire world is Pantene’s Nature Fusion Moisture Balance shampoo. This is a somewhat new shampoo and I know I’m not the only one who likes it because in a recent edition of Better Homes & Gardens magazine, it was listed as one of the top products of 2010.

Why do I like it?

• My hair has volume – lots of volume.
• My hair doesn’t go limp after an hour or after high humidity (and trust me, we’ve had a lot of high humidity this summer).
• I can make it to about 32 hours before needing to wash my hair.
• No tangles or knots unless I’m riding with the car windows down.
• A small amount goes a long ways.
• I can style my hair a variety of ways and the style stays.
• My hair holds a curl or stays straight all day.

So if you are like me and have baby fine hair, try Pantene’s Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Shampoo. There’s another shampoo in the Nature Fusion line but I haven’t tried it. Why change a good thing? There’s also a matching moisture balance conditioner that I use about once a week. I’m not a big conditioner person, so I really can’t judge it as good, bad, or so-so.

By the way, I was not paid for this post, did not receive free shampoo, or anything else. This is just something I felt like sharing with my readers in hopes of helping someone else find a shampoo she might love.
