Hair care giant Pantene was all over the list, but did it nab the no. 1 spot?

To most, shopping for anything is a thrill. Being bombarded by an insane amount of brightly colored hair care product options all colorfully lined up and begging you to buy them is not. We all want to have choices, yes, that's true, but not when they all look the same, make the same claims and cost about the same. Then it just feels like hair care "Sophie's Choice" -- if you choose one conditioner over the other, hair will suffer.

Skip to see the 14 best drugstore conditioners for healthy hair now.

We all want the same thing: soft, silky, shiny, manageable hair. And we're pretty sure we also all need (or prefer to) to save some cash, especially in this economic climate. The solution: drugstore conditioners. We compiled a list of Total Beauty readers' favorite budget-friendly conditioners. Readers say the conditioners on this list gave them salon-worthy hair at bargain bin prices; now that's a perfect combination. See, we just made shopping fun again.

To get you psyched for the best drugstore conditioners list, we thought we'd share a couple reviews we found to be quite convincing:

"Since using this shampoo and conditioner, it has become like a second honeymoon! My husband just keeps getting closer and closer to sniff my hair, and always compliments not only how it smells, but how good it looks!"

"I have spent tons of money on everything from salon brands to store brands and nothing has ever made as much of a difference as this! If you have dry frizzy hair ... this is THE product for you."

Pantene makes fabulous shampoo & conditioners. I love Suave for their dry shampoo, shine spray & hair sprays though.

I have had some of my best luck with Pantene and Garnier for my thick long hair.

I've been seriously eyeing the Neotrogena triple moisture conditioner and shampoo... hmmm. I also REALLY like the Pantene Pro V Restore Beautiful Lengths. BUT. There are two versions, i like the breakage defense better than the frizz control.

A few of these conditioners have been terrible for my kids...I wish I could agree with more of these!

I totally agree about the Pantene beautiful lenghts. I also use the shampoo and conditioner in the lil jar. They all work wonderful! I have thick coarse hair and after all the blow outs and iron work I do every day it really helps and makes a big difference. It is well worth the small price to help get your hair back to healthy!
