18 Drugstore Shampoos That Won't Put a Strain on Your Wallet

Shampooing is a daily ritual for most, which is all the more reason why you should be going in with a safe, quality formula every time you wash your hair. Of course, the best shampoo formulas aren't just limited to the luxury items marketed by dozens of indie beauty brands — we love a good drugstore find when it comes to shampoos, and some of the best ones we've come across in our day have been hanging out in the drugstore aisle at price points under $20.

The type of shampoo you should purchase is dependent on your needs. Plenty of people search for non-stripping, sulfate-free formulas to use when it's time to cleanse their hair while others looks for those that are best to use on blond, brunette, or color-treated hair — that's to say that the possibilities really are endless when it comes to shampoos, and if you're looking for a new one to add to your beauty routine, there's no better place to look than the drugstore.

Whether you're looking for color protection, a dry shampoo, volume, or even something to soothe an itchy or flaky scalp, there's an affordable option out there. Keep reading to see some of our favorite wallet-friendly picks.
