What’s a good price for shampoo & conditioner?

How to land in the good-price band

Shampoo and body wash cost per fl oz swings widely — bulk and refill formats are where the value is.

• •Buy the large or gallon/refill size of a shampoo you already use — per-fl-oz price drops sharply versus the standard bottle.
• •Salon-vs-drugstore is mostly marketing on cost per fl oz. Match the formulation you need (clarifying, color-safe, moisturizing) and buy the cheapest per fl oz that has it.
• •Skip “sets” and pumps that inflate the price — a plain large bottle is almost always the cheapest per fl oz.
• •Concentrated formulas go further — if you use less per wash, a higher per-fl-oz price can still be cheaper per use.
