Beauty Best Bet: Salon-Sized BAEBODY Shampoo + Conditioner Kits

On a busy weekday morning, there’s nothing worse than reaching for shampoo, only to find there’s not half a pump, nor a mini squeeze left. Then you have to reach for the backup one, you know which one… the drugstore brand with sulfates that’ll strip your color, sodium chloride that will dissolve your keratin treatment, and the ickies that will wreck the planet. And even the matching conditioner with, dare I say it, mineral oil. It’s 2023 – this is no way to live.

Amazon cult-favorite Baebody, a clean, ingredient-driven brand designed to simplify our self-care routines and lives, offers two sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner sets, formulated to detox the hair, soothe the scalp, and repair damaged follicles. With 16 oz of both shampoo and conditioner in each kit, your shower will be as well-stocked as a salon for months, maybe a year.

There’s an Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner Kit enhanced with almond and jojoba oils for the days when nourishment, moisture, and repairing damage are the priorities. The Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner Set is designed to detox the scalp and soothe irritated, itchy scalp, without stripping away the hair’s natural oils, with a dose of avocado oil for moisture. It’s a lifesaver after a long sweaty workout or a long weekend of heavy-handed dry shampoo use.

My routine consists of alternating between the sets. On some days, because nothing gets me more psyched to take on the day than a sparkly clean scalp. I start with Tea Tree Shampoo, then let my tangled strands soak up the Argan Oil for the 3 minutes for a silky blowout. Added bonus: both sets are great for men’s facial hair, too. Go wild – mix and match, you’ll have the goods. And there’s an additional sale at the Baebody Amazon sale, making it even more of a bargain.
