spin off: drug store brands similar/just as good as salon brands

Wondering because they are cheaper and easier to find.

I wouldnt say tresemme is as good as a salon brand conditioner but its pretty good for a drugstore brand. Aussie moist is good too.

Haven't come across anything yet. About 10 years ago, I had a stylist use dove shampoo and conditioner. It was so thick and creamy. It worked really well on her clients. Then she started using elucence.

Hello Hydration moisturizes as well as any salon brand I have tried and Vo5 detangles even the tangliest strands. I'm pretty sure that's not a word, but u get the point

The products are more concentrated so technically no. The only ones I can reccommend are Paul Mitchell and Joico, worth the money plus you can always catch it on sale (well I do) so I don't pay full price anyway. But I do think Tresemme is the best drugstore brand, not as thick and moisturizing as Joico moisture recovery especially after all the new formulas but still good stuff. All of the others like Aussie & Herbal essence broke me out and didn't even work. Best think about drugstore is its so cheap you won't be too mad it doesn't work opposed to crappy $20 conditioner

The only brand I can think of is the L'Oreal Advanced line.

Only thing i can think of the gvp dupes they sell at sallys. they are exact replicas of some commercial brands at lower cost.

Tresemme is a good drugstore brand. My stylist uses the Deep Cleansing shampoo in her salon

Nexxus is sold at drugstores now and it's brand is decent line.

Redken is sold at drugstores. I love their protein.

I like the Organix line as well. I have used their line.

I think Shea Moisture should count since it's sold at Target and Walgreens. My hair hates it but it's popular.

Aussie Moist is popular with lots of ladies.

Nature's Gate is found at grocery stores. I like their aloe conditioner.


None of these brands match the quality I found in salon brands or natural products purchased online but if I couldn't get to my staples, I would and have used some of these in a pinch.

Thanks ladies. I did buy a bottle of joico but after that I might try a few of these. I used to use the aussie moist back in the day. So I will revisit that. Then after probably tresseme

YES!! @Prettymetty the V05 Moisture Milks specifically the strawberries and cream one is wonderful stuff.
Got my last bottles for 75 cents a piece. It detangles so well!! I use a ton each wash. Its good for post lather/pre deep con detangling. Also good for co washing.
It's truly excellent stuff and cone free!
