What shampoo is best for thick hair?

My hair is just like yours, if not worse. Lets say for me, it takes me 25 minutes just to wash my hair. Shampoo/conditioner wise, I use Alberto Balsam, Umberto Giannini and sometimes Loreal Kerastase , and it is absolutely amazing. To stop your hair becoming damaged, spray it with TreSemme heat protect spray when your hair is still damp, then dry it in any way you choose and you can straighten it without it becoming damaged. Hope that helped!
