The duo repairs and strengthens damaged and brittle hair, while keeping it smooth and frizz-free. While the Shampoo is effective, it’s the Treatment that’s the real star, leaving locks soft, sleek and manageable.

Best anti-hairloss shampoo & conditioner: Shiseido Professional Sublimic Adenovital Shampoo Thinning Hair + Hair Treatment Thinning Hair, $44 and $54 respectively

6/8

EDITORS’ CHOICE + READERS’ CHOICE

The Shampoo gently purifies the scalp – it lathers well, yet doesn’t leave hair feeling dry. The Hair Treatment repairs damage and controls unruly hair without weighing it down. Dry ends become silky smooth, soft and less frizzy. The fresh scent lingers too, and there’s a slight volume boost after the hair dries.

Best daily shampoo and conditioner: Act+Acre Cold Processed Hair Cleanse + Hair Conditioner, $42 each

7/8

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALTY STORE - EDITORS’ CHOICE

The pair helps control frizz, dandruff and free radical damage for a deep cleanse that won’t strip hair and scalp of natural moisture. Our fave: the conditioner, which doesn’t weigh down fine hair, and leaves it tangle-free and smooth. The scent is also a winner – its mix of plant oils make shower time feel like a spa experience.

Best daily shampoo and conditioner: L’Occitane Almond Shampoo + Almond Conditioner, $34 each

8/8

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALTY STORE - READERS’ CHOICE

The shampoo and conditioner work hand in hand to gently cleanse, restore shine, and keep hair smooth and soft. It leaves locks tangle-free so we can easily run our fingers through. But the shampoo gets a shout- out for its conditioning effect (we could even skip conditioner at times).
