Shampoo and Conditioner That Nourish Lifeless Hair
Shampoo and Conditioner That Nourish Lifeless Hair The Contenders:
Philip B. White Truffle Ultra-Rich Moisturizing Shampoo, $54, and Philip B. White Truffle Nourishing & Conditioning Creme, $75, vs. Aveeno Nourish + Volumize Shampoo, $6.49, and Aveeno Nourish + Volumize Conditioner, $6.49

The Breakdown:
Both shampoo-conditioner duos promise to nourish and re-hydrate dry, damaged hair — and both follow through. After using each, my thirsty, color-damaged hair seemed notably silkier and more moisturized.

Some noteworthy differences: The Philip B. shampoo is trickier to use — it requires you to shake well (very well) beforehand, or the product comes out soupy, and it doesn't quite have the lather of the Aveeno.

But the Philip B. packaging is decadent, and the smell herbal and hypnotic, making for a more luxurious wash than the no-frills Aveeno. It's the experience you pay for — not necessarily the results. But at $129 for the pair (compared to $13), it's a sticker shock-inducing one.

The Winner:
Aveeno Nourish + Volumize Shampoo and Conditioner
