^ Tried the Aussie stuff but like aitch and MoB say, it just coats your hair. Looks good for the first few times you use it and then goes back to being dry and fluffy. Same with most conditioners so I'm looking for something that really works

You should try Philip Kingsley's 'elasticizer', you can get it online either from his own website or somewhere like Mankind. Really good stuff but very £££££££

the thing is, there's only so much any shampoo or conditioner can do with your hair being dead.
s'all about conditioning in your case robii so for a cheap option/experiment you could try one of the nice and easy conditioners on sale (about a quid in boots and most supermarkets). they're actually for post-dyed hair so they're quite full on as conditioners go, and might do the job.
i'm sure you know this already, but just in case…always towel dry your hair before using conditioner, massage the stuff in, and leave on for a couple of minutes. rinse very thoroughly with warm water, then blast your hair with cold.
do you use any serums?

yeah, same here, it had to be used veeery sparingly.
My ex told me to towel dry before putting the conditioner on and the hot cold thing, so I've been doing that for a few years now. It does help a little but it's still very dry so I'm starting to think I should be looking at what's in the shampoo and conditioners I use and try and find ones that don't contain alcohol, silicone etc…although having said that, I don't really know what ingredients I should be trying to avoid
Don't use any serums but any you'd recommend?

What pissed me off about Toni and Guy is the first time I went there I asked for a senior stylist and she did a brilliant job. Asked for the same person next time. Same again. Then she was ill or fully booked and they didn't tell me til I got there and the person who cut my hair didn't do a very good job. Same situation next few times. Didn't go again. Same sort of thing happened at Bliss over a 12 month period so I couldn't be bothered with the poncey hair dressers any longer and got it cut short
