Why it's great: "When I looked at the price tag, all I could think was 'No way am I going to get as much bang as they claim for my buck.' But when I used it, I couldn't believe how amazing my hair felt. I color my hair a lot -- bleached one week, black the next -- and it's been feeling a little bit like straw lately. But after using this conditioner, my hair felt amazing," says a reader. Others concur saying, "This is thick, creamy and hydrating, but not goopy or sloppy or too heavy (for my hair; I have very dry, very thick hair). I like the consistency and texture so much I have started using this in place of my weekly moisturizing mask!" One reader sums it up: "this conditioner makes my hair look and feel silky, soft and shiny. I have tried many expensive hydrating conditioners and none work as well as this."
Why it's great: Readers say this "leaves my hair clean, soft and smooth." They also love the "great price" and the "compliments on how shiny my hair is." One reader shares an unbelievable story: "My hair hasn't been cut since 1969... that's right, it's now [40] years old. When I use this it makes [my hair] like it was as a teenager again."
Why it's great: "I have paid big bucks at a salon for a deep conditioning treatment that I did not like as much as this," says a reader. Others love that it "makes my hair really shiny and silky" and "I rarely have any breakages or split ends." Readers say, "If you have super dry hair... this is the conditioner for you," because it "makes my over-processed hair feel like hair again, not straw."
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."
