Why it's great: "My hair feels clean, soft, silky and full of bounce," readers say. Plus, "this conditioner is so cheap... and works better than any other that I've used," one reader says. Readers also "love the smell in the shower," but also like that "it doesn't linger" on dry hair. "I've tried every conditioner on the market (drugstore and prestige), and this is the one I come back to again and again," one reader says.
Why it's great: Readers love that this product "never strips color" and "helps it to last between coloring treatments." In addition to that, readers say their "hair is so shiny and touchable" and they love they way it smells "like orange-cream candy." One reader sums it up saying, "I color my hair every two and a half months and I need a conditioner that keeps my hair looking vibrant. This conditioner does that. Not only does it prolong my hair color, but it also keeps my hair super shiny and smooth. It's a life saver!"
Why it's great: This is great for anyone with frizzy hair, readers say. "It smoothes my hair, keeps it shiny, and smells great. And it's not pricey. I totally recommend this conditioner for anyone who has frizzy, dry hair," one reader says. Another adds that "during humid weather hair looks nice and resists humidity like a charm." And one reader exclaims: "this conditioner has improved the appearance and texture of my hair 150 percent."
Why it's great: "This stuff was great for my long hair. It gave me enough body and wave to just let it air dry and look totally pretty. It definitely added extra wave to my semi-wavy hair. It also leaves it super smooth and soft," says a reader. "This conditioner really does make my natural, poofy, kinky hair into luscious waves," confirms another fan. Readers also love that it "detangles nicely," making hair "really soft and silky," while leaving the curl "still intact."
Why it's great: Readers "cannot say enough good things" about this. A few of those things: "you can't beat the scent" and "I get softness and amazing body from this conditioner!" One African-American reader shares her good experience with the conditioner saying "it made my hair lighter and airy. I was able to comb right through it with ease, and press and flat iron it easily. When I was done it was thick and super bouncy! And my hair is not even breaking like it normally does!"
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."
