My $4.99 Trader Joe’s buy is the GOAT for my hair – I used to buy expensive versions but TJ’s is honestly way better
A TRADER Joe’s haircare product worked wonders on one person’s hair after getting frustrated with their greasy tresses.
They said the budget-friendly product was more effective than the expensive haircare buys they previously splurged their cash on.
The shopper shared their recommendation on Reddit’s Trader Joe’s forum, which has over 323,000 members.
STRANDS SAVIOR
They wrote in response to a user asking others about the products sold by the store that impressed them the most.
“The Cleansing + Conditioning Hair Wash is the GOAT for my hair!” the Redditor said, writing under the handle NWzero.
“I used to buy expensive cleansing conditioners and the TJ’s one is honestly way better (at least for my hair!).
“Due to health issues, my hair gets greasy REAL quick no matter what I do.
“Now, I use the TJ’s every other ‘wash’ and it makes my hair super soft and healthy feeling but I don’t get super greasy!”
The Cleansing + Conditioning Hair Wash costs just $4.99 at Trader Joe’s.
According to the brand, it doesn’t contain any harsh ingredients such as “detergents, sulfates, parabens, or silicone.”
The product “co-washes,” replacing the need for a separate shampoo and condition.
Locks are hydrated and cleaned while also minimizing frizz.
Trader Joe’s recommends wetting the hair and scalp before applying their hair wash.
After massaging it throughout, tresses should be rinsed thoroughly.
According to Healthline, co-washing describes the practice of cleaning hair with only conditioner.
It has become increasingly popular with people who have curly and coily hair. It can improve hair health and softness.
However, a buildup can be caused when the hair-washing method is used on waves or fine curls.
HAUL HEROS
The Redditor revealed the affordable hair care product isn’t the only item they routinely buy from Trader Joe’s.
“The watermelon overnight mask and watermelon facial spray are amazing too,” they said.
“Since it’s seasonal, I stock up for the rest of the year when it’s released.
“The Moisturizing Shave Cream is the only shaving cream I use anymore.
“I had to use some regular shaving cream/foam at someone else’s house recently and it made me realize how much I prefer the lotion-y/cream type of shaving product!”

The post came after a makeup artist likened Trader Joe’s $6 lip mask to a product sold by an expensive brand.
She raved about its moisture and shine, without having a “too strong and fake-sweet” vanilla scent.
She said it’s a dupe for Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, which costs $29.
