So I'm a cheap highschooler, and I most definitely can't afford $20 conditioners or any of that stuff So, what are you guys' favorite products from the drugstore? I'm looking for a drugstore low-poo in particular. Thanks!

I really like Giovanni Smooth as Silk for my low poo. It doesn't strip my hair of too much moisture, which is really nice.

I'm a huge fan of Tresseme Naturals conditioner. I've tried many of the more expensive, boutique brands and keep going back to the TN. I refuse to pay more for products that deliver less.

I think Nourish at Trader Joe's is a great loo-poo. GVP Generic at Sally's is great for deep conditioning. I do really like VO5 Clarifying Conditioner, Suave Almond and Shea butter conditioner (it has a cone but can be washed out with Nourish).

I agree with Marci about Trader Joe's conditioners, they are dirt cheap. They aren't moisturizing enough for me but they are great for cowashing. So is the Alberto VO5.
I also agree that Sally's conditioners, esp. the GVP, are great and inexpensive.
I won't use a conditioner that has a cone in it, so I can't speak to the Suave condish.
You could try Yes to Cucumbers or Yes to Carrots as well. Those are both under $10, which sounds pricy for a drugstore conditioner, but the bottle is so big it usually lasts me 3-4 months, easily and the Yes to condishs are nice and rich, very moisturizing.

I like Tresemme Naturals Moisturising poo and co. The poo has als but not sls's. I find the shampoo does not strip my hair and feels soft after

The Shea Moisture line at Walgreens. The Renpure Organics line I used to be able to find at CVS... But can't find it at mine anymore... Suave naturals conditioners and vO5 conditioners, tresemme naturals conditioner. Aussie Instant Freeze and LA looks sport gel.... That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but if you use the product search for silicone and sulfate free drugstore products, that helps too.
