To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the top shampoos and conditioners. Consideration must be given to:

Aveeno Pure Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc
Recommended by Marian Northington, MD, Birmingham, Alabama
Head & Shoulders
Procter & Gamble
“Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner is by far one of the best formulations on the market in terms of a therapeutic shampoo. It is not only gentle and cleanses but clears dandruff quickly. There are a lot of new products in this line to help with different hair and scalp needs.”—Marta I. Rendon, MD, Miami, Florida

Série Expert Intense Repair Conditioner
L'Oréal Paris Professional
“This is an excellent shampoo for dry and color-treated hair because it is extremely hydrating and moisturizing.”—Marian Northington, MD, Birmingham, Alabama

Smooth Infusion Shampoo
Aveda Corporation
“This shampoo is free of sodium lauryl sulfate, which can be a contact allergen for some people, and adds moisture to the hair with ingredients such as aloe.”—Anthony M. Rossi, MD, New York, New York
Wen Cleansing Conditioner
Guthy-Renker
“This product is a 5-in-1 formula that takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler, and leave-in conditioner. It cleanses thoroughly without stripping hair and scalp of their natural oils.”—Basil M. Hantash, MD, PhD, Turlock, California
