Published on August 30, 2022 at 14:56

Shampoo–such an essential part of our beauty routine! Liquid shampoo is well known, but dry shampoo and shampoo bars are newer on the market and are sometimes overlooked. And yet, both are very interesting options! Let us explain the benefits of these three hair cleansers in order to help you find the best drugstore shampoo for your hair!

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo

200 ml bottle of Batiste dry shampoo, Original scent


Without a doubt the hero of more than one mommy in a hurry, dry shampoo has become a staple for daily life! Available in drugstores, this type of powder product lets you refresh your tresses without water or traditional shampoo. Just spray it on the roots of your hair and say hello to instant cleanliness! A good dry shampoo allows you to space out those endless hair-styling sessions and saves you loads of time. We love the innovative formula of the ultra-popular Batiste dry shampoo with delicately scented rice starch powder. Suitable for all hair types, colour-treated or not, it effectively removes oil from the scalp, adding volume and dimension to dull, lifeless hair. One powder, two benefits! Available in a variety of fresh fragrances and multiple shades to perfectly match your hair colour, it's easy to see why Batiste dry shampoo is a beauty must-have!

Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo Bar

Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo Bar Nourishing Camelia & Argan


This type of shampoo will please those who prefer a more ecological option to bottled shampoos. A rich, bottle-free, plastic-free hair care product in 100% recyclable cardboard packaging, with 94% plant-based ingredients? Sign me up! Because of its resemblance to a bar of soap, which might be a bit more abrasive on the skin, shampoo bars could make some people sceptical. Rest assured though, this shampoo bar’s silicone-free, preservative-free, soap-free formula gently cleanses your hair, leaving you with nourished, delightfully fragrant, and shiny hair. If you're not sure solid shampoo will clean your hair the same way as its liquid counterpart, this Garnier Whole Blends shampoo bar lathers up just like a regular shampoo! Plus, each bar offers up to 48 washes, which is much more than traditional liquid shampoo. Another winning point for this type of product is its compact size, making it easy to take on the road! Ecological, practical, and durable: it's a solid hit for us!

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Liquid Shampoo

Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo


Last but not least: liquid shampoo! It can be difficult to choose the best option for your hair type among the myriad of shampoos available at the drugstore. This shampoo from Shea Moisture is our favourite for curly and wavy hair! If you want shiny, supple curls that are incredibly easy to style, opt for this paraben, phthalate, and sulfate-free shampoo, developed to improve the health of your hair and restore its lustre. A true smoothie for your hair, it combines natural ingredients like organic shea butter, coconut oil, hibiscus flower extract, silk protein, and neem oil. Plus, it smells so delicious you'll want to drink it! Offering beautifully moisturized and protected locks, this Shea Moisture product is sure to become your new anti-frizz fav!

Whether you prefer to wash your hair the traditional way, opt for a zero-waste alternative, or just can't live without dry shampoo, you'll find the perfect solution for your hair on our shelves!
