My hair dresser used to tell me to stay away from prell because it contained enough amonia to give you a perm . LOL !!! I really liked it though but it did have a tendancy to dry my hair out and now pantene is the only one I can use because of allergies to it all it seems LOL !!!!
Your hairdresser should be telling you to stay away from Pantene too. The pH levels I'm that are EXTREMELY high.
When I went to school for hairdressing, we had to do a project on shampoo, and Pantene is the worse for your hair, plus it leaves a film on your scalp.
I like Prell Shampoo; it seems to leave little if any residue and has a nice, unisex herbal smell, and I usually don't need conditioner (which is fortunate, because I don't believe Prell makes one).
About once a month, I'll condition my hair with a tiny bit of Finesse conditioner. A bottle lasts me a year or more.
My hair is thick, tends to oiliness, and is already quite "healthy".
Dryness is not an issue. Greasy residue is the enemy.
Pell makes a conditioner that is in a white bottle and it has the same clean Prell smell. Ask your store manager if it can be ordered for you.
I had hip-length hair thru high school in the 70s. I send GYHST every day. I don’t remember having a matching conditioner tho. If I didn’t use some, all that hair would have been dangerous!! But my hair was shiny and soft, never brittle.
Anyway, having a product made in the Philippines isn’t an automatic problem. I’m sure they are very nice, diligent people there, and we’d be ok using their products. The real problem is the price!!
There was mention below about the Vermont Country Store. While I enjoy looking thru the catalogs (that I did NOT ask for!!) and pondering all the things I’ve forgotten, I am just downright offended at the cost they charge for some of the stuff they have! It’s great to spend a little extra for fun things now and then, but candy? Shampoo? Lotions? Regardless of the location of the manufacturer, there is no need to price gouge folks. I love most of the stuff in the catalog, but my conscience will not allow me to spend $100 on a night gown.
I’ve been wondering about what shampoo to buy lately. The Pantene with conditioner I’m using right now makes crusty patches on my head. The time I tried Dove shampoo, my hair started falling out.
What is a safe shampoo that just cleans your hair?
You might try Garnier Whole Blends line. Oat Delicacy shampoo and conditioner is for very sensitive hair. The Honey Treasures or Maple Remedy shampoo and conditioner scents are great for this time of year.
I used to love Gee Your Smells Terrific back in the 70's but it dissappeared and when I found it again, well it's not the same...drys hair terribly. My Mother In-Law back in the 80's showed me her trick to beautiful hair, and it was so simple. Prell and Head & Head and Shoulders mixed evenly. Wow is all I can say. Use it to this day, and never have any problems with my hair.

Just an update. I’ve been buying cheap old Suave, and it’s fine.

Hello,
I found this thread by searching for updates on GYHST. I noticed Prell came up a few times here. Any
Prell users still happy with this product? I've been using Viviscal It's GREAT but expensive, especially the conditioner is gone more rapidly.
I'm thinking the Prell and H+S might be a good substitute. Anyone else using this formula?
Did anyone buy GYHST from Vermont? Share your thoughts on this?
I have seen it on VCS, but have never ordered it due to cost. I would love to try it, I didn't know it was drying. In general VCS is a good site. I have ordered from them in the past.
