Keeping hair strong, soft, and shiny requires the right care routine.

Since dyeing my hair blonde at sixteen, I’ve experimented with countless hair care products, from high-end to budget-friendly options. Today, I’m sharing three effective and affordable hair care products that can be found at most drugstores. These are especially great for dry, colored, or frizz-prone hair like mine!

1. Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Serum – $6.99

This serum is a lifesaver for taming frizz. Applied to the ends of freshly washed hair, it smooths flyaways and adds subtle shine. A little goes a long way—using too much can leave hair looking greasy, so a tiny amount is all you need.

2. Garnier Fructis Hair Conditioner – $14

One of my favorite drugstore conditioners, partly because of its lovely scent! I apply it after shampooing, leave it on for about two minutes, and then rinse. It softens dry strands, makes hair easier to detangle, and adds lasting moisture.

3. It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In – $26

This leave-in isn’t the cheapest, but it’s worth every penny. I use it before blow-drying or styling, and it makes a noticeable difference in smoothness, shine, and overall manageability. It also provides heat protection, keeping hair healthy when using a dryer or straightener.

These budget-friendly hair care products make it easy to maintain healthy, shiny, and frizz-free hair without breaking the bank. With the right routine and products tailored to your hair type, every day can be a good hair day!
