Best Shampoos List

Okay, we all need shampoo. And while some are really great, plenty of downers lurk in the aisles. Before you buy your next bottle, see what products TotalBeauty.com readers loved and hated in their beauty product reviews.

The Best: MOP Basil Mint Shampoo, $12.50

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 10

What you said: "This is a great organic shampoo. I love the mint smell; it makes me feel fresh and wakes me up in the morning. This is the number one shampoo I use." — teach08, TotalBeauty.com member

The Best: PHYTO Phytobrush Smoothing Shampoo With Acacia Honey, $24

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 10

What you said: "This shampoo is great. I have naturally curly hair that I blow-dry straight (if the weather allows). This shampoo really smoothes out the frizz. I've tried lots of others, and this is the one I keep going back to!" — kelgri24, TotalBeauty.com member

The Best: Rene Furterer Karite Intense Nourishing Shampoo, $23

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 10

What you said: "My hairneeds extra help with moisture. I use this shampoo once or twice a week, double shampooing (as instructed), and it keeps my curls shiny and moisturized, which keeps the frizz away. The double shampoo that is recommended makes me feel more confident that the shampoo is adding moisture and nutrients to the hair shaft, since the second application stays on for two to three minutes (like a conditioner)." — leveredtb, TotalBeauty.com member

The Best: Infusium (Colour)ologie Shampoo, $6.99

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 10

What you said: "This product makes my [fine, colored] hair shine. It gives body and [makes] the color last longer. I have tried many other products and more expensive ones, but this one works best." — ehchndlr, TotalBeauty.com member

The Best: Sunsilk ThermaShine Shampoo, $4.49

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 9

What you said: "I regularly blow-dry and straighten my hair, and have a hard time with flyaways. This shampoo (along with the conditioner) is perfect for heat-treated hair. I was surprised at how shiny and smooth my hair looked, and it smells great. I would highly recommend this product." — Zentastic, TotalBeauty.com member

The Best: Joico K-Pak Shampoo, $11.96

TotalBeauty.com average rating: 9

What you said: "I've dyed and highlighted my long hair so many times that you'd think it'd look like straw. Thanks to K-Pak, my hair looks and feels healthy, shiny and vibrant. I always come back to this when other shampoos and conditioners fail to meet their claims. This really does an excellent job of repairing my ends and the damaged sections from highlights, heat damage and sun exposure. I would recommend this to anyone who is hard on their hair or [who] just needs a little extra treatment from dye jobs or daily blow-drying." — taraandthecity, TotalBeauty.com member
