1. Best for Everyday: Garnier Fructis Pure Clean Shampoo

The big selling point of Garnier Fructis’ Pure Clean line is that the products remove residue but contain no parabens, silicones, dyes, phthalates, or DMDM hydantoin. And according to Pugh, the Pure Clean shampoo, which is just $3.99 at Target, “is a great shampoo for most hair types.”

He adds that it has “vitamins B3 and B6 for strength,” so it works well as an everyday shampoo.

2. Best for Damaged Hair: L’Oréal Paris Elive Total Repair 5 Shampoo
