Garnier Fructis HairCare Pure Clean Fortifying Shampoo, $4.79 at Amazon

For years, I was dedicated to a certain shampoo that shall remain unnamed—but then it turned evil on me. For some reason, the more I washed my hair, the more it looked like I hadn't washed my hair. My roots looked greasier than a Famous Ray's pizza, and I panicked. Thinking it had something to do with using a moisturizing formula for dry hair, I went hunting for something else.

Thank goodness Garnier Fructis had just come out with their Pure Clean line for "normal hair." The 94% biodegradable formula is super lightweight and is free of silicone, paraben, or dyes. With each wash, my hair comes out soft, clean, and, most importantly, not at all greasy.
