The Hands-Down Best Shampoos For All Hair Types, Whether It's Curly, Dry, or Colour-Treated

There may be more scalp products on the market these days than you can count on two hands and feet, but there's something to be said about the tried-and-true Head & Shoulders Classic Clean Dandruff Shampoo ($6), which has been around for so long for a reason. It's formulated with flake-fighting zinc pyrithione, and there's arguably no better (or research-backed) means of dealing with dandruff.

Give thin, limp hair a bit of a boost with Davines Volu Shampoo ($29), which is made with a light formula featuring turnip extract to add volume and shine to the hair.

Think of the Briogeo Superfoods Mango + Cherry Oil Control & Balancing Shampoo ($28) like a nourishing smoothie for your hair: it features a luscious cocktail of fruits and vitamins to balance oil production and promote healthy hair growth.

For the fragrance averse — or anyone with sensitive skin — the Pantene Pure Clean & Clarify Silicone-Free Shampoo ($7) will rinse away all the dirt and grime sitting on your scalp without any irritation. It's also completely scent-free and, thus, easier on both your skin and hair.

We know, we know — the product name has "curl" written all over it, but we think the Bumble and bumble. Curl Moisturising Shampoo ($31) actually works best for wavier textures, since its blend of avocado oil, coconut oil, and shea butter hydrates and reduces frizz, but won't feel heavy or thick.

OK, so the As I Am Coconut Cleansing Conditioner ($7) isn't technically a shampoo — hence the term "cleansing conditioner" — but its creamy formula gets the job done on days when you're in need of a light cleanse and a heavy dose of moisture. As a bonus, it also works amazingly as a detangler.

You and your blond colour can wave goodbye to brassiness thanks to Moroccanoil Blonde Perfecting Purple Shampoo ($24). The tone-correcting formula puts life back into blond, lightened brunette, and grey hair after just one wash.

Blondes shouldn't get to have all the fun. In the same way that colour-correcting purple shampoo exists to eliminate brassy tones from blond hair, blue shampoos like the new John Frieda Blue Crush Shampoo ($10) are meant to knock out stubborn orange tones in brown hair that's been lightened or highlighted in the past.

If your scalp is one big pile of beauty products, we've been there. Give hair a reset with the new Ouai Detox Shampoo ($30). It deeply cleanses and clarifies — thanks to apple cider vinegar — while hydrolyzed keratin adds softness and shine.
