Best supermarket shampoos

We say: Sukin Purifying Shampoo is formulated with a gentle combination of aloe vera, nettle, horsetail and burdock to cleanse and nourish the scalp and hair. It is ideal for those with sensitive scalps.

You say: “I love the scent of this product. I love how many natural ingredients are used in it and how it doesn't contain toxic chemicals that other popular shampoos do. I love how it doesn't really foam up and dry out the hair. My hair and scalp feel much cleaner after using and I feel good to not be using dangerous chemicals on my skin. Because my hair is long I need to use quite a bit but because it's great value for money this doesn't really bother me – it still lasts way longer than expected.” – bh member Lipstick_Princess

We say: Provoke Touch of Silver Brightening Shampoo is enriched with active violet pigment to neutralise brassiness and bring dull, fading blonde hues back to life.

You say: "I've used this shampoo since I first went blonde (let's say about 35 years ago!) and I love it. Occasionally I've tried other brands but I've always been disappointed with them. Touch of Silver really is amazing - it stops the brassiness and extends the time between colours. It also leaves my hair super soft and smelling great. My hair doesn't feel dry at all during the wash or afterwards." - bh member attica

We say: Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo is formulated with the SMART Pro-Vitamin blend containing the active ingredient histidine to revitalise and repair damaged hair.

You say: “I’ve used many shampoos in my life and haven't really noticed the differences between the brands, but this one in particular I certainly did. As soon as I opened the product I noticed the pleasant smell, not too strong but enough that my hair still smelt nice for the whole day. I usually have to wash my hair quite often due to oily hair but I found I could leave my washes a bit later than usual. After using the product my hair felt and looked a lot healthier and seemed to have a bit more volume. Not only did I no longer have dry flakes but my scalp felt so much more moisturised and hydrated. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone.” – bh member Megan1896

We say: The L'Oreal Paris Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo contains ceramide-R to repair damage, a UVB filter to absorb UV rays and protect hair from fading, and electrostatic conditioning agents to nourish dry, brittle hair.

You say: “This shampoo smells amazing! It leaves a fresh smell in your hair all day. I use with the matching conditioner on my dark brown coloured hair. It keeps my hair looking soft and shiny and best of all, keeps my colour looking fresh. The bottle is a nice red colour, with an easy open lid. Overall this product is very reasonably priced and leaves shiny soft hair. I would definitely recommend." – bh member Alexlouise

We say: head & shoulders Superme Moisture Shampoo is formulated with argan oil to provide intense moisture from root to tip and leave hair touchably soft.

You say: “Love this product! I have sensitive skin, I also have psoriasis and it's the only shampoo I trust. It leaves my scalp feeling clean and dandruff-free but doesn't irritate my sensitive skin! My hair is also nice, soft, moisturised and shiny. Love it! Highly recommend it to all. Have always used head and shoulders but this is my new favourite in their range! The rest of the family, including children, are also enjoying this product!” – bh member Kat277

We say: Formulated with key ingredients Hawaiian coconut and orchid, the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo is specifically made to lock in moisture and keep fly aways at bay.

You say: “After having used this shampoo for around 2 weeks now I can say it has done wonders for my hair! Prior to using the product my hair has been very dry lately due to the colder weather. However, my hair is now noticeably healthier and full of shine. I absolutely loved the sweet coconut-like scent. It's refreshing and reminds me of summer without being too overpowering. When washing my hair I only needed a small amount of the product while massaging it into my scalp. I noticed that it lathered up really well without using a lot of the product. After a couple of days my hair looked and felt smooth and shiny in appearance. I found that it was much easier to style and more manageable.” – bh member Mrs Akinyemi

We say: OGX Renewing + Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants to penetrate deep into the hair, leaving locks renewed, lush, soft, and shiny.

You say: “Why did I wait so long? Well, I know why, the price. But honestly since trying this I’m convinced it’s worth every cent. It has great distinctive packaging, flip lids, easy to open and apply with one hand. Small outlet so you don’t waste product. Rich beautiful lather, gorgeous fragrance, feels luxurious on your hair. Immediate results, literally.” – bh member flavietta

We say: The Schwarzkopf Extra Care Fibre Therapy with Omegaplex Shampoo contains salon-inspired technology to seal and restore broken bonds and strengthen hair structure from the inside out.

You say: “I opened the lid of the product and was presently surprised by the beautiful light fragrance that escaped the bottle. It's a light and sexy fragrance. You only need a small account of the product as it spreads easily and lathers well into the hair. The fragrance made my shower smell amazing. After rinsing the shampoo from my hair it already felt amazing. With continued use over a week, I found my hair felt stronger, smoother, and lustrous. I think the product lives up to the expectations the words on the bottle give you. I highly recommend the shampoo for anyone that wants to restore their hair to a healthy head of hair.” – bh member Jeyani

We say: Palmolive Naturals Active Nourishment Shampoo is infused with aloe vera extract & fruit vitamins to actively treat and nourish hair, leaving it soft, shiny and easy to style.

You say: “I really like this shampoo and have used it for years. The container is a good size and lasts for quite a few washes which is important because I have a lot of hair. It smells really nice and does a good job of cleaning my hair. The price is really good – I shop at Woolworths and it's regularly on special, sometimes for $2.50 which is a bargain. The container is really easy to open and close too.” – bh member Trackydacky

We say: Dove Damage Therapy Intensive Repair Shampoo contains Dove's advanced repair serum with millions of micro particles to repair severely damaged hair by penetrating the finest breaks of the cuticle for intense conditioning.

You say: “I love Dove! I love that it's so affordable. Woolworths have these on sale all the time. I love the shampoo and conditioner together, they really complement each other. They are super hydrating without leaving my hair feeling heavy and oily. My hair is sometimes quite dry from colouring it but as soon as I use this shampoo and conditioner my hair feels so much better and the smell is AMAZING!” – bh member mserin23
