I presume you realize that you are using these products to improve the
quality and appearance of an animal product. ;->

OK. I'll help keep it alive. I read Consumer's Report, and chose their
"best buy" selection (i.e., cheapest of the satisfactory brands). Turned
out to be Suave. That's several years ago. I better look at Consumer's
Reports again, soon.

Lately I have been buying Joico at my daughter's recommendation.  My hair tends
to be dry but my scalp is oily.  Most conditioners make my hair lie too flat.
No conditioner and my hair flys away(picture that. . .
headdoc with hair flying away. . . )

The best shampoo and conditioner i've used is Aveda.  You have to buy it
at a salon, and it's quite expensive, but it's really good.  
Meijer's sells some knockoff which is comparable, but I forgot the brand.

It's "aromatherapy" stuff, which doesn't mean much to me except that it
smells nice ;)

I buy whatever is cheapest, for myself, with "extra body" if I have
that kind of choice.  Mostly they work fine.  When somebody sends
me a free sample in the mail, that usually works fine too, but it's
sometimes so strongly perfumed that I forget it as fast as possible.

I use the Ivory shampoo, since it is fairly cheap.  They do tend to change
it w/o warning, though.  The most recent bottle contained clear shampoo
instead of milky like before.

One hairdresser I used told me one doesn't need to put alot of conditioner in
and then wash it out.  He suggested that after you leave the shower, put a
small amount of conditioner in your palms, rub it around, smear it in your
hair, use a fine comb to comb it through and don't rinse it out.  Especially if
you use a "good" conditioner.  It works as wel as the more traditional way and
says alot of conditioner.

What counts as a "good" conditioner?

That sounds like a description of what any conditioner is supposed 
to do.  So if it works as a rinse-out conditioner, it should also 
work as a comb-in?

I have been using a Joyco product called Lite, lately and have been very
pleased with it.  It is only sold by hairdressers.  I have dry hair since I
perm it but with this product, it looks pretty good.  My husband has oily,
fine hair and he likes it a lot too.  A little more expensive than the
"arbor Drugs" stuff but we use only a litttle each time so it goes a long
way.

I tend to be one of these people who has used about every brand around..I guess
I am adicted to buying shampoo.  I found that the best kind for my hair is
Loreal's Hydravive Performance andthe conditioner called Deep Hydrating Masque.
 It has a nice smel (That is smell)

Re #10-14, rinse-out vs comb-in: I tried the comb-in method last week.
It might have worked, if my hair were about 12-14 inches shorter,
but I had to use *more* conditioner than  usual just to get through the
first 6 inches, so resumed my usual rinse-out style for the remainder.
I use conditioner to reduce the pain & frustration of getting a comb 
through in the first place -- any other effects are secondary.

After watching a tv program which had many of New York's top hairdresser's
talk about how to take care of your hair, I have stopped using conditioner.
 Or,if I do, I just put a tiny bit on the ends and rinse.  Thay all said that
American women use too much conditioner and it flattens our hair (especially
on top where I like to have fullness).  I also suggested to my husband, who's
hair is thinning (but don't mention it to him, he doesn't know) to try without
conditioner.  His hair may be a little more "fly away" but it looks much
fuller and thicker without.  They said you have to really rinse all shampoo
out very well.  I just got a perm yesterday and it will be interesting to see
how it looks after washing without conditioner.

FWIW, my hair was not towel-dry when I tried this, but dripping wet &
tangled (as usual).  There start to be broken-off ends at a little above
chin length, and from there to the ends is what I need conditioner for.
If my hair were no longer than Valerie's, I might not bother
