Drugstore hair products are screaming deals. After years of independent research and my fair share of expert interviews, my beauty editor opinion is that most drugstore hair products do the job as well as luxury buys and they do it at a fraction of the cost. High-end products are usually expensive, not because they perform incredibly well, but because of their more elaborate packaging and fragrances.
Until recently, I had just one bone to pick with affordable hair products: fragrance. Why can't drugstore products smell more like sophisticated perfumes, less like candy and laundry detergent? That's why I fell in love with Love Beauty & Planet conditioner, $7. IMHO, it's the first drugstore conditioner that leaves my hair soft and clean while also smelling incredible — like products three times the price. The tea tree oil and vetiver scent turns my shower into a spa, and the coconut and ylang ylang blend has the whiff of a fancy Whole Foods tea I can't afford. If only all $7 beauty products were so spectacular. &mdash Katie McCarthy
