Best Shampoos for Dry Hair
As with finding moisturizer for your dry skin, finding the best shampoo and conditioner for dry hair is all about looking for hydration. “Dry hair is a sign of damage and can cause breakage so you should choose a shampoo that is moisturizing and has conditioning ingredients,” says Raven Hurtado, a stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. "Shampoos with oils like coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and aloe vera help hydrate hair. Emollient oils nourish the hair, so the more nourishing ingredients and vitamins will help dry hair.
Best Shampoo for Dry Hair Overall
If you have dry hair, try this recommendation per Julia Marzovilla, Marie Claire's Fashion E-Commerce Editor. "I have hair that gets super dry on the ends while getting oilier at the roots, so it's been hard to find a shampoo that tackles both," she shares. "This shampoo from Pureology is perfect for my dry hair because it's deeply nourishing without adding weight to my roots. In fact, I find that my hair feels hydrated for days even after my roots get oily. It's a true gamechanger if you have hair that looks dull."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Less than one percent synthetic fragrance; nine fluid oz
Pros: Has over 3,000 five-star reviews at Ulta; Doesn’t weigh down your hair.
Cons: Shampoo and conditioner are sold separately; Some reviewers said it has a strong smell.
Best Drugstore Shampoo for Dry Hair
Great shampoos exist at the drugstore. Take Rachel Burchfield's word for it. "I originally gravitated towards Herbal Essences' Rose Hips Smooth Shampoo for a dose of nostalgia: The pink bottle reminded me of middle school in the late 1990s and much simpler times. The delicious scent—which, by the way, envelops the entire house while I'm showering and is regularly complimented by people I hug—instantly took me back to 1998," shares MC's enior Celebrity and Royals Editor. "But then, I noticed something—this drugstore bargain, as opposed to the much more expensive products I also love, was not only cost effective, but it worked so well with my long, thick hair."
Specs: Contains sulfate; Unscented or floral scent; 29.2 fluid oz
Pros: Has a light scent; Adds shine; Cruelty-free;
Cons: Reviewers say it's not great for damaged hair.
Best Shampoo for Damaged, Dry Hair
After years of frying my hair with blow dryers and flat irons, this shampoo restores the feeling of smooth, refreshed hair. If you have unruly hair, this formula provides a manageable consistency. When you use it, it'll feel like at least a year of damage has been repaired in just one wash.
Specs: Sulfate-free; fresh scent; 8.5 fluid oz
Pros: Has over 1,000 five-star reviews; Sulfate-free; good for color-treated hair; good for curly hair.
Cons: Some reviewers say it's too heavy for thin hair.
Best Amino Acid Shampoo for Dry Hair
A cult classic, it's no surprised MC's Art Director Brittany Holloway-Brown is obsessed with this Kiehl's shampoo. "I’m used to buying whatever shampoo is on sale, as I love experimenting and trying new things, but I discovered this shampoo when I was visiting family in my hometown. I needed to wash my 4C hair after a particularly hot and humid summer day and this was a perfect choice," she shares. "This shampoo is extremely moisturizing and still manages to be clarifying. It’s rich, smells great, and has the most satisfying lather. The coconut oil and amino acids help my hair feel healthy and not stripped. It provides the perfect base for the rest of my products."
Specs: Contains sulfates; Coconut scent; 33.8 fluid oz
Pros: Gentle on hair; Has a paraben-free formula.
Cons: Some reviewers say the smell is too strong.
Best Shampoo for Frizzy, Dry Hair
If you're skeptical of the word 'oil' in your shampoo, you're not alone. But it won't leave hair greasy—just soft and manageable. Follow up with a conditioner and your usual array of products to leave curls looking shiny and defined. You'll be buying more of this in no time.
Specs: Sulfate-free; Smells fresh; 8.5 fluid oz
Pros: Good for curly hair; Fights frizz; Vegan formula.
Cons: Formula is not sulfate-free.
Best Shampoos for Fine Hair
While styling products like mousse can help achieve volume in your hair, those with fine hair should start by adding volumizing products in the shower for maximum effect. "When someone has fine hair, you want to look for a shampoo that is gentle and gives a lift to the hair," says Adriana Papaleo, a Master Stylist at Rob Peetoom Salon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Best Shampoo for Fine Hair Overall
"As someone with relatively flat and what I'd describe as, at times, boring hair, I need all the help I can get in the volumizing department. That's where Fekkai's Full Blown Volume Shampoo comes in," says Emma Childs, MC's Fashion Features Editor. "Its fortifying formula offers a thickening, from-the-root lift that makes my hair appear fuller than it actually is, and the product gets bonus points, too, because its volumizing effect lasts me in between washes (I'm a wash-every-three-days-or-so kind of gal). Oh, and it's vegan and cruelty-free so it's also a guiltless shampoo I'm happy to have in my hair care rotation."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fresh scent; 8.5 fluid oz
Pros: Has a vegan formula; Cruelty-free; Adds volume; Has a paraben-free formula.
Cons: Some reviewers claimed it dried out their hair.
Best Drugstore Shampoo for Fine Hair
Those of us with thin hair know that the quest for volumized hair can feel like a lifelong and futile effort—every brush, root spray, and haircut might promise thick strands, but by midday, you're back to flat. Enter: OGX's Biotin & Collagen Shampoo & Conditioner. "While I've worshipped at the alter of biotin supplements for years, I never thought of using a shampoo that used it in its formula until I stumbled across this purple bottle at CVS," shares Neha Prakash, MC's Entertainment Director. "The proof is in the pudding: The texture of the shampoo isn't water-y like others. Instead, it's almost gelatinous, and it instantly lifts your hair—so much so that I often forgo the other volumizing styling products I've splurged on over the years. And the best part? It's drugstore cheap."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fruity scent; 13 fluid oz
Pros: Costs less than $10; Has over 7,000 five-star reviews on Amazon; Has a sulfate-free formula.
Cons: Some reviewers say the scent is too strong.
Best Shampoo for Super-Fine Hair
"As someone with insanely fine hair, I've tried every volumizing product under the sun. While texturizers and mousses come in handy, this shampoo and conditioner are my holy grail—they genuinely give my hair a lift at the root," shares MC's Beauty Editor Samantha Holender. "I notice a little extra volume when I first step out of the shower, but it only gets bigger (and better) when I start the styling process. Once I whip out the blow dryer, my hair becomes unbelievably shiny, bouncy, and feels ridiculously soft."
Specs: Sulfate free; Fresh-fruity scent; Eight fluid oz
Pros: Adds volume; Has a vegan formula; Has a sulfate-free formula; Has a silicone-free formula.
Cons: Some reviewers said it wasn't as hydrating as others on the market.
Best Shampoo for Thinning, Fine Hair
"This year I'm on a hair health journey, after noticing a lot of thinning and shedding last year. Step 1? Being religiously devoted to this Ranavat shampoo," says Prakash. "The product (sorry for the pun) gets to the root of the problem, nourishing the scalp and strengthening hair follicles. The Ayurvedic formula is incredibly clean so it doesn't lather like other shampoos (it does have a nice, subtle jasmine scent) but all the proof that you need it's working is the incredible amount of new growth you'll see after just a month of use."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Jasmine scent; Eight fluid oz
Pros: Good for dry hair; Has a vegan formula; Cruelty-free; Promotes hair growth.
Cons: Some reviewers note it's difficult to lather.
Best Shampoos for Oily Hair
If your hair gets oily quickly, finding a shampoo that will remove that oil without stripping your strands of much-needed moisture is the name of the game. Papaelo recommends shampoos that balance the hair. However, she also says that "clarifying shampoo can help as well but if there is color on the hair you want to avoid clarifying shampoos because they are not color safe."
Best Shampoo for Oily Hair Overall
Briogeo’s gingseng shampoo not only smells amazing, but the formula also contains biotin, which helps to grow hair. It cleans hair thoroughly and is safe/gentle enough for babies. "I've been using this religiously and have been able to get so many more days out of my blowout—and skip the dry shampoo," shares Marie Claire's Beauty Freelancer Sophia Vilensky.
Pros: Good for volume; Has a vegan formula; Has a sulfate-free formula; Adds shine; Good if you have oilier hair.
Cons: Some reviewers said it made their hair dry.
Best Shampoo For Oily Scalps & Dry Ends
"My hair normally used to go from being freshly-washed to overly-oily in a day or two, but now I can go up to four or even five days without needing to wash it thanks to this shampoo from Leonor Greyl," shares Marzovilla. "I use this as the first of two shampoos in my double-cleanse hair routine, or on its own with a heavier leave-in conditioner if I'm in a rush. It gets rid of dirt, oil, and product build-up just as well as a typical clarifying shampoo but without making my ends feel stripped."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Smells like honey; seven fluid oz
Pros: Good for oily hair; Good for dry ends.
Cons: Formula can be stripping if you use too much; Has a strong smell.
Best Dandruff Shampoo for Oily Hair
Turn to this clarifying shampoo when your scalp is in need of a major reset. This shampoo does wonders for itchiness and keeps dandruff at bay. What I love most about this peppermint tea tree formula is that it’s so soothing and doesn’t strip hair of moisture.
Specs: Sulfate-free; Peppermint-scented; eight fluid oz
Pros: Good if you have dandruff; Cruelty-free; Has a sulfate-free formula; Has a paraben-free formula; Good for textured hair.
Cons: Some reviewers said it left behind a film on their hair.
Best Cream Rinse Shampoo for Short, Oily Hair
"Recently I shaved my head and realized I didn't have a need for a lot of the products that covered my shelves and bathroom, I wanted to find products that are multi-use and didn't take up too much space," shares Alexis Gaskin, a Freelancer Beauty Writer. "Cue this concoction from Everist. I was confused at first as to how it worked but once I tried it I was amazed at how a little product with some water created enough lather to wash the little hair I have. I'm a big fan of how it also cleanses my scalp gently without drying it out. Following up with the conditioner and I trust that my hair will grow healthy and curly."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Unscented; 3.4 fluid oz
Pros: Sustainable formula; Good if you have buzzed or very short hair; Comes in a travel-friendly tube.
Cons: Some reviewers said it left their longer hair feeling tangled.
Best Shampoos for Natural and Textured Hair
“When you have naturally textured hair you should aim for products that will offer extra moisturizing benefits as well as a product that emphasizes its ability to strengthen hair from within,” says Lacy Redway, Unilever Global Stylist. “Other benefits to look out for are products that define your texture and get rid of any unwanted frizz.”
Best Shampoo for Natural and Textured Hair Overall
“Shampoos can be very drying for my thick curls, so sometimes I’ll use a cleansing cream instead. The lemon and orange blossom extracts in this cleansing cream work as astringents so my hair isn’t stripped of its natural oils.” — Deena Campbell, Beauty Director
Specs: Sulfate-free; Scented with bergamot, jasmine, and sandalwood; 8.5 fluid oz
Pros: Fights frizz; Has a sulfate-free formula; Has UV protection; Has a vegan formula.
Cons: Some reviewers said the scent was too strong.
The Best Drugstore Shampoo for Natural and Textured Hair
If you want aproduct that removes dirt and oil, but still leaves it soft and moisturized, this is for you. "This Mielle Avocado and tamanu shampoo is the one, not the two. First off, it smells so good. Saying it smells good is an understatement," shares MC's Associate Social Media Editor Ashlyn Delaney. "Additionally, it leaves my hair shiny and hydrated. I am a big protective styles type of girl, so shampooing is a must to remove all the product buildup. When I use this shampoo, I always look forward to the results in prepping my hair for the next up-do."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fresh scent; 12 fluid oz
Pros: Editor-loved; Hydrating; Smells great; Adds shine
Cons: None
Best Hair Growth Shampoo for Natural and Textured Hair
If you love the smell of the castor oil, consider scooping this shampoo up. The castor oil itself is a great nutrient. When combined with shea butter, apple cider vinegar, and peppermint, it creates a scalp-stimulating blend that boosts blood flow, promotes a healthy scalp environment, and promotes a good ground for new growth.
Specs: Sulfate-free; Smells like castor oil; 13 fluid oz
Pros: Contains castor oil; Cruelty-free; Good for low-porosity hair.
Cons: Some reviewers said the smell was too strong
Best Shampoo for Build-Up with Natural and Textured Hair
The brand calls this scalp cleanser their “secret sauce” for a reason. The unique packaging is what sets this shampoo apart from the rest—it’s a shampoo that doubles as a hair tool. Just twist the cap to allow the product to dispense, then section hair to get the claws as close to the scalp as possible. The creamy lather feels tingly and refreshing, since it’s full of mint and tea tree oil, and rids curls of any build-up.
Specs: Sulfate free; Minty scent; eight fluid oz
Pros: Has a paraben-free formula; Cruelty-free; Good for fighting buildup.
Cons: Some reviewers said the packaging didn't work correctly.
Best Shampoo for Curly Hair
If you're someone with curly hair who is looking for hydration, look no further. Redway says that “someone with curly hair should look out for products that will help moisturize and define curls without weighing them down, reduce unwanted frizz, and repel humidity.”
Best Shampooo for Curly Hair Overall
"I love the entire Vegamour GRO line for how effective it is in thickening hair, supporting a healthy scalp, and fostering hair growth—something that's been a personal journey of mine for the last year," shares MC's Beauty Writer Gabrielle Ulubay. "This vegan formula incorporates natural oils so that you can expect a thorough cleanse without feeling like your hair or scalp are stripped of moisture. Plus, it’s infused with protein in order to strengthen existent strands from within, preventing breakage and enhancing overall hair health and shine."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fresh grapefruit smell; eight fluid oz
Pros: Helps with shedding; Doesn't strip the hair as it cleans.
Cons: Some reviews say it takes weeks to show results.
Best Clarifying Shampoo for Curly Hair
"For a curly-haired person, Ouidad might be a familiar name—it's designed specifically with us in mind. But if you're not familiar with their clarifying shampoo, it's worth the investment," says Katherine J. Igoe, MC's Contributing Writer. "You only want to use this when your hair has buildup on it (so for me, that's once a week at max). It strips my hair of things like product residue and grease; Yes, my hair might feel a little dry after, but it's exactly what I need to 'reset; my hair for the week."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fresh scent; 8.5 fluid oz
Pros: Cleanses without stripping; Good for color-treated hair; Cruelty-free.
Cons: Not for everyday use.
Best Shampoo for Frizz-Prone, Curly Hair
The entire MC team loves Davines—and their Smoothing Shampoo is the MVP for curly hair. "As someone with fine, frizz-prone, wavy (what a trifecta!), my biggest challenge has been finding a product that keeps my flyaways at bay, while also accentuating my natural curls. Davines LOVE smoothing shampoo and the matching conditioner are lighter than other similar products, but still fight against frizz and leave my hair soft and bouncy," shares Lucia Tonelli, MC's Associate Social Media Director. "Because of the thickness of the product, you'll want to use a smaller amount than usual, which, IMO, is a total plus. I even tend to not fully wash out the conditioner, letting it dry with my hair and function as a leave-in product."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Sweet scent; 8.45 fluid oz
Pros: Fights frizz; Good for damaged hair; Adds shine.
Cons: Some reviewers said the scent was too strong.
Best Shampoo for Color-Treated Curly Hair
"I admit that half the reason I buy this shampoo is that it smells divine (think: '90s Herbal Essences without the sulfates). This is the shampoo (and conditioner) I use once a week as a delicious treat to my hair—it leaves it smooth, soft, and smelling incredible," shares Igoe. "It's also free of parabens, sulfates, and other ingredients I have to avoid when I'm trying to keep my hair healthy. And it's designed not to dry out my very highlighted blonde hair."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fruity scent; 15.2 fluid oz
Pros: Microbiome friendly for the scalp; Has a sulfate-free formula; Has a paraben-free formula; Good for color-treated hair.
Cons: Does sting if you get it in your eyes.
Best Shampoos for Color-Treated Hair
"For colored hair you want to focus on a sulfate-free shampoo that helps prolong your color," says Papaleo. She recommends that those who love to color or highlight their hair "stay away from anything that says clarifying as that will shorten the longevity of your color service." Purple shampoos are also great for blondes looking to keep their hair from looking brassy over time.
The Best Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair Overall
If you haven't heard of Maria Nila, it's about time it landed on your radar. "The top hair brand in the Nordics, the entire range is dedicated to preserving the shine and integrity of color-treated hair," shares Holender. "I play around with different products in the range, but this particular shampoo always leaves my blonde looking shiny, brighter and healthy."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fresh scent; 11.8 fluid oz
Pros: Editor-loved; Vegan
Cons: Expensive
Best-Smelling Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair
"I've been using the Biolage Color Last shampoo for years now and I don't think I'll ever switch it up," says Brooke Knappenberger, MC's Associate Commerce Editor. "I typically can only get to the hair salon for a dye job about twice a year so this shampoo has been a godsend for extending the life of my color. It leaves my hair feeling clean, never stripped, and nourished. What I really love about this shampoo, though, is the amazing smell. I seriously can't get over this shampoo's fresh scent and how long it lingers."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Fruity fresh scent; 13.5 fluid oz
Pros: Has a vegan formula; Cruelty-free; Has over 1,200 five-star reviews at Ulta.
Cons: Some reviewers said it was too harsh on their hair.
Best Shampoo for Bleached Hair
"EVA NYC has been my go-to for years, but this specific line is a lifesaver for anyone who will impulsively bleach their own hair at home," shares MC's Junior Designer Jonelle Afurong. "My hair became very dry and coarse after bleaching. After a few washes, my hair’s texture was repaired. The argan oil and plant protein are super moisturizing and it doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy. It also works on color-treated hair, so you can keep your hair healthy when you decide it’s time for a new color."
Specs: Sulfate-free; Sweet smell; 8.8 fluid oz
Pros: Good for dry hair; Has a sulfate-free formula; Has a paraben-free formula.
Cons: Some reviewers wished it lathered more.
Best Shampoo for Brunettes
It's not just bleached hair that can benefit from a shampoo for color-treated hair. This particular shampoo was made for brunettes and redheads. A formula that deposits green pigment, like this one, can help add cool tones back to the hair as it hydrates so you can stretch out that time between salon visits. Added bonus: I promise it won't stain your shower.
Specs: Contains sulfates; Citrus scent; 10 fluid oz
Pros: Good for dryness; Helps brassiness.
Cons: Some reviewers said it left their scalp feeling greasy.
What to Look For in a Shampoo
- Ingredients
What exactly separates the best shampoos from just good shampoos? ”Generally speaking, you want to avoid sulfates, parabens, formaldehyde, and hexachlorophene as these are known to dry out the hair causing it to become brittle and weak. If you’re looking to lift locks and add volume,” says Andrew Fitzsimons, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Andrew Fitzsimons Hair. (Be sure to check out our guide to the best organic shampoos if you want more information about that, by the way.)
“I like to recommend products with caffeine as this stimulates the follicle and lifts from the root," he adds. "If your hair is in need of some serious TLC, look for shampoos with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera, jojoba oil, and ceramides to bring your strands back to life.”
- Hair Type
Next up, let’s talk about hair type and the thickness of your hair—because yes, that matters! The best shampoo for thick hair might weigh down thin hair, for example, so make sure to learn about your hair type before you shop. “There are different formulas for different hair types and they definitely work differently for each hair type,” says celebrity stylist Bobby Eliot, who has worked with Julia Garner, Kaia Gerber, and Sydney Sweeney. “For example, a shampoo for curly hair is generally heavier and would weigh down someone with finer hair. A shampoo for shine wouldn’t be great for someone who is oily naturally because it would be too heavy. For thicker hair, you would want something with shine or smoothing.”
- Sulfates and Sulfate-Free Shampoos
There are plenty of buzzwords in the beauty industry, but none are as commonly found as sulfates, a type of cleanser often present in shampoo. While Marie Claire has a full guide to the best sulfate-free shampoos already, here’s a quick refresher. “Sulfates are powerful little compounds commonly used in shampoos to remove dirt, oil, and product buildup on your scalp and hair,” says Frédéric Fekkai, Founder of FEKKAI. “They work by breaking down the surface tension of water, which helps to loosen and lift away all that gunk that can weigh your hair down—and can be more aggressive than needed.”
Sulfates can be especially harmful if you have color-treated hair, Fekkai tells me. “It can cause your color to fade faster or alter your hue over time,” he says.
How Often to Wash Your Hair
Yes, over-washing your hair is a thing. But how can you find the right cadence for your hair? Fitzsimons says that hair-washing schedules “change from person to person and has to do with what hair type you have, but generally, I recommend every two to three days, depending on how oily your hair is.”
However, Fitzsimons notes that “If your hair is dry or on the curlier side, I would recommend shampooing less, roughly every five to seven days.” And, just like your skincare routine, consistency is key. “I also recommend that once you have a hair washing schedule, sticking to the same routine is important to maintaining healthy hair. There is no golden rule when it comes to how often you should shampoo, just keep an eye on your hair needs, find a schedule that works for you, and keep it up!”
