The Best Drugstore Shampoo for Every Hair Type

This shampoo is a nutrient-rich formula infused with vitamin B7 biotin, collagen, and wheat protein, all of which help maintain your hair growth, leaving it thicker and healthier.

This drugstore shampoo is a game changer, says Fred Connors, owner of FRED. salon. The sweet-smelling shampoo is great for all hair types, but is particularly suited for color-treated hair, since it's sulfate-free. It's also vegan, cruelty-free, and made with ethically sourced ingredients. "It's gentle on your hair, as well as the planet," says Connors.

Especially effective for blondes and those who embrace the gray, this one amplifies the color you want, while diminishing unwanted tones, says Norris. Use it once per week as an intensive treatment and follow it up with a high-quality hair mask. Otherwise, it can discolor and dry out hair.

If you have thin hair but need to infuse dry strands with moisture, try this drugstore shampoo. "It adds moisture to the hair without weighing it down," says Angelo David, owner and creative director of the Angelo David Salon in NYC. As an added bonus, it smells great.

You'll love this drugstore shampoo if you have long, tangle-prone hair, says Wellman. The unique formula takes tangles out quickly and will leave hair smelling fresh.

Found: your natural shampoo infused with jojoba oil.
"It's EWG-verified, making it the perfect, safest choice for your hair," says celebrity stylist Bridget Brager. It effectively cleans and protects color-treated hair.

This shampoo is "exceptional for dry hair," says Fae Norris, a stylist at Neighborhood Salon. It has all-natural ingredients that revitalize and protect while delivering soft, delicious-smelling hair.

If you suffer from dandruff but also have an oil-prone scalp, try a salicylic acid shampoo once a week to dry up some of the excess oil and help remove dead skin, says Shainhouse. This formula, by Neutrogena, is a favorite because it helps clear dandruff without harsh preservatives or fragrances.

For anyone with dehydrated, color-treated, textured, curly, or coarse hair, this is a great option, says Savannah Fincher, hairstylist and corporate educator at Blo Blow Dry Bar. "Instead of harsh sulfates, this shampoo contains a gentle surfactant to cleanse without stripping the hair or scalp." It's also free from parabens, mineral oils, petroleum, and artificial coloring.

This shampoo is a wonder product for color-treated or damaged hair, says Patrice Vinci, owner of Patrice Vinci Salon in Boston. "It works just as well as the professional L’Oréal line Kerastase, but for a quarter of the price, plus it holds color for up to 60 days."

If you have curly or natural hair, try this moisturizing formula. It lathers well and gets through natural curly hair with ease, says celebrity stylist Alicia Henry. It locks in moisture, creates a beautiful shine, leaves hair soft to the touch, and smells amazing, she adds.

Head and Shoulders is the classic, tried-and-true dandruff shampoo, and for good reason. "The zinc pyrithione not only helps to kill the yeast but also helps to mop up some of the excess sebum, so that roots are less greasy, hair appears thicker and fuller, and there is less of a home for yeast to grow," says Tsippora Shainhouse, a board-certified dermatologist. If your hair is damaged or dry, choose the moisturizing version, or follow up with the matching conditioner, to hydrate strands.
