Target
Promising review: “Really love this shampoo! It’s great quality for the price, and my hair doesn’t feel oily, my scalp doesn’t feel like there’s build-up or anything, and it enhances the curl pattern I have. I have 2b–2c low-porosity hair. It’s fine in texture, but I have a lot of it. It’s very easy for it to get weighed down and for products to ‘pull’ the curl out. I see so much more volume at the roots, and it lasts into the second day.” —kch99

Highly recommend!” —AR

A shampoo that is said, at the very least, to create the illusion that you have thick hair. It calls on ingredients such as biotin to help make strands stronger, coffee extract to help thicken, and collagen to help mend split ends. Sometimes you just gotta fake it ’til you make it, right?
Target
Promising review: “Hands down, I think this is the best smelling shampoo. It’s like an incense or candle shop! I just love it. Spicy and warm with notes of clove, cinnamon, and maybe sandalwood. It’s just lovely and lingers for hours after you wash. The shampoo lathers really nicely, and I find I use less than I normally would with other shampoos because of this. My hair actually DOES feel and look thicker after using this and the conditioner. I struggle with hair loss from lupus and medication, so this is helping to pump up my locks while new hair grows in. I just love it so much.” —pjillmoore
Price: $4.99
