18 Iconic Drugstore Shampoos For Every Hair Type

The secret to hydration that doesn't weigh my hair down.

As much as I love testing high-end beauty products, I will always be a drugstore beauty girl – including drugstore shampoo! In high school, I spent most of my babysitting money in the drugstore’s makeup aisle, and to be honest – not much has changed. My go-to for everything from mascara to body wash can be found at the pharmacy, so it’s no surprise that my latest haircare obsession is drugstore shampoo.
