Last updated November 2, 2026 with prices from our daily check.
Heat styling, color and cold weather all leave hair dry and brittle. This page lists every shampoo and conditioner in our daily price check, grouped by price, with hair-care advice from the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). We have not tested these products; we track their prices.
Shampoo the scalp, condition the ends
The AAD recommends concentrating shampoo on the scalp rather than the full length of hair, and using conditioner after every shampoo, focused on the ends, unless you use a 2-in-1 product.
Pick for your hair type
The AAD suggests choosing shampoo and conditioner made for your hair type, for example products for color-treated hair if you color it. How often you wash depends on how oily your scalp is.
Cut back on damage
The AAD advises protecting hair from heat and sun, letting it air-dry when possible, and limiting tight hairstyles, coloring, perms and relaxers, which can all damage hair.

- Compare price per ounce: salon bottles and liter sizes vary widely.
- Use a heat protectant before blow-drying or flat-ironing.
- Buy shampoo and conditioner as a set when it is cheaper than the two separately.
- If you notice unusual shedding or scalp problems, see a board-certified dermatologist.
