When it comes to some beauty products, a drugstore version can be just as effective as a more expensive salon brand. Yet, this is not usually the case with shampoo. Maintaining healthy hair starts at the scalp, and that requires a quality shampoo. So, if you are only going to splurge on one hair product, make it your shampoo. These high quality products will leave your hair shinier and sleeker than any bargain brand could ever achieve.
Curly Hair
If you have curly hair and are tired of your beautiful curls getting lost under frizz and buildup, look no further than Fekkai Perfectly Luscious Advanced Curls Shampoo. This shampoo goes for around $20 on Amazon, but it is well worth the price. This peach-infused formula gently moisturizes and helps form curls without drying out your strands and leaving buildup around your roots.
Fine Hair
Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Shampoo is perfect for fine hair because it adds the needed volume and replenishes your hair’s moisture. One of it’s ingredients is Acacia gum, which naturally helps achieve your desired fullness and bounciness. The lovely jasmine and peppermint scents also create a lasting aroma that will linger around all day. You can buy a bottle for $21 on Aveda’s website.
Frizzy/Dry Hair
Just about everyone has known the struggle of frizzy hair at some point in their life. Usually, the frizz is caused by dryness. Most moisturizing drugstore shampoos do quench your hair’s thirst, but leave a waxy buildup in its place. This is not the case with Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo ($24 at Sephora). It contains a revolutionary ingredient called PolyfluoroEster, which creates a weightless barrier between your hair and the humidity.
Oily Hair
If you are tired of oily locks, but don’t want to dry out your hair by washing it every day, Matrix Biolage Normalizing Shampoo is your best bet ($23 at ULTA). This shampoo uses a specialized lemongrass formula that cleanses hair without stripping it of moisture. It is suitable for all hair types, even color-treated hair. If you have normal hair, you should still use a clarifying shampoo like this once a week to remove buildup from gels and mousses.
Color-Treated Hair
Color-treated hair requires special treatment, and Joico Color Endure Violet Shampoo spoils your locks like no other. What makes it unique is the violet dye, which eliminates unwanted yellow or brassy tones in your hair. Whether you have light or dark hair, it helps maintain the exact color you want. You can find a large bottle of this shampoo for $34 at ULTA, and it will last for months to come.
