Best Hair Products to Use With Your Shampoo
There's been a recent boom in the beauty market to reinvent the way you traditionally wash your hair. It's no longer about grabbing any ol' shampoo and sudsing up. Now, some formulas address your hair cleansing needs even before you hop in the shower. Others, combine the refreshing process of a bubbly shampoo with innovative, texture-building particles so you can get those cool-girl waves without adding a ton of styling products to your hair.
So what does this all mean for you? This new class of shampoos are all about getting the most of your shower time with products that won't slow you down. To help you figure out the best new way to cleanse your hair, we broke down some of our favorites — from pre-wash treatments to the latest in dry shampoo. Here's to good hair days, every day.

2/8Pre-Wash Conditioner
Volume seekers, take note: the idea behind pre-wash conditioners is that you apply conditioner before you shampoo in the shower so that the moisturizing properties don't weigh down your hair. For instance, the Fleximax Fibers in the Tresemmé Beauty Full Volume Pre Wash Conditioner binds to each hair cuticle to leave it polished and smooth, yet retaining its shine and bounce. Then when it's paired with shampoo afterwards, hair is clean, yet not dry and squeaky.
3/8Dry Shampoo
We know what you might be thinking: Dry shampoo. For hair. Groundbreaking—but hear us out. Stylist-to-the-stars Oribe recently launched his very first dry shampoo, Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo to his coveted, luxe haircare line. It does everything a dry shampoo is supposed to do when you're skipping actual suds (absorb grease and oil), but this one doesn't add texture like most of the dry formulas on the market. It's a great option for those with medium to coarse or thick hair who are looking for softness and shine, but not the grittiness or weight. Plus the signature Cote d'Azur scent of all his products are amazing.
4/8Texturizing Shampoo
On the other hand, for those who crave texture, this formula from forward-thinking brand R+Co is made for you. The R+Co Cactus Texturizing Shampoo contains a blend of texture-building particulars that bring our your hair's cool-girl factor (aka a hint of wave) while cleansing. It's like getting all the easy-to-style benefits of a texturizing dry shampoo—but on just-cleansed strands.
5/8No Poo
Curly girls know that there's nothing that guarantees a bad hair day like dry strands. This new no-lather DevaCurl No-Poo conditioning cleanser solves the problem of wanting fresh strands without stripping away natural oils that can come with using bubbles. It contains peppermint and grapeseed oil, which stimulate the scalp and hair follicles, while leaving behind shiny, bouncy strands.
6/8Pre-Shampoo Treatment
With Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Balm-to-Oil Pre Shampoo Masque, the highly concentrated balm, which almost feels like a wax at first, melts in your hands to release a mix of six hydrating oils like argan and coconut. Since it absorbs more moisture than wet strands, apply it on dry hair before shampooing for seriously soft locks and a shine that doesn't quit.
7/8Scalp Shampoo
We focus so much on which products may make our hair looks its best, we forget about the actual source of great strands: your scalp. This clarifying shampoo maintains the pH balance of your scalp to combat dryness, itchiness and dandruff that can be associated with hormones, product overload or changes in weather. Rosemary oil, menthol and ginger not only sooth scalp irritation, it leaves behind an energizing zing to start your (good hair) day on a high note.
