The best shampoo and conditioner can make or break your haircare routine, but finding the right duo isn't always straightforward. From balancing moisture without weighing strands down to navigating ingredients such as sulphates and silicones, there's plenty to consider before settling on your next wash-day staples. And that's before you've even thought about adding a dry shampoo or leave-in conditioner into your routine.
To find the formulas worth spending on, seven of IndyBest’s expert reviewers (myself included) tested a wide range of shampoos and conditioners on our different hair types and textures, from fine, straight strands to thick, curly and colour-treated hair.
