Regardless of the time of year, a good conditioner is worth its weight in gold. Whether we want to keep our hair moisturized in the cold winter months or give it a lustrous shine in the spring and summer, conditioners are our first go-tos when our hair craves some much-needed TLC.
Not only are they typically extremely hydrating, but there are now conditioners on the market that target specific hair concerns, such as healing split ends, addressing frizz, and protecting color-treated hair. It’s even popular (especially in the natural-hair community) to use leave-in conditioner to aid the creation of natural hairstyles. Besides their versatility, the best thing about conditioners is that you don’t always have to spend a lot of money to get a quality product that will ensure good results.
Drugstore conditioners can be just as, if not more, effective than their higher-end counterparts — for a fraction of the price. Many people have found a holy-grail conditioner that works magic in their routine on a random Target or CVS trip. There are admittedly quite a few options to choose from, so we narrowed down twelve of the best drugstore conditioners ahead.
