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.
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."
Why it's great: "I have fine hair, so a lot of conditioners just weigh my hair down and make it look greasy. This one gives great, natural volume without making my hair look like an oil slick," says a reader. Others say they love that it leaves "hair bouncy, shiny, [and] silky," and that it does "a good job" on "color treated hair." One reader says it's refreshing to find a product that, "actually does what it says and leaves my hair smelling fantastic and actually feeling clean."
Why it's great: "With just one wash my hair looked and felt better," readers say. This conditioner gave them "sleek, healthy locks" and "rinsed out of my hair quickly." One reader with "horrible dry scalp" says this "is the first product ever that has seemed to cure it completely. It's a miracle! And a CHEAP miracle!"
Why it's great: Readers agree: "This is a great product at a very bargain price. It leaves my hair hydrated, soft and silky." Plus, readers love "the faint smell of coconuts." One reader sums it up: "The price, the fragrance and the performance are the reasons I have stayed with this conditioner (along with the shampoo) for years."
Why it's great: One reader raves: "I'm lost without [it]. I always bring it with me when I travel as nothing else compares to its performance." Other readers add that this conditioner helps to manage "long, naturally curly hair." Another agrees, saying "this product keeps on working."
