And as a very important note- this actually isn’t just a drugstore vs high end issue. There are also drugstore brands that go the “all natural” route and remove ingredients that make our scalp + hair thrive in the name of being able to slap a *free from* label on their products. It happens at all price points. The key is to find products at whatever price point works for you that make your hair feel how @Alix Earle described- softer, smoother, shinier, more manageable, less frizzy, less tangled, etc. It’s also obviously not as simple as just looking for sulfates and silicones because as one example, there are other cleansing agents that are also considered to be deeper cleaning that aren’t technically sulfates. But I think it’s a great place to start. If you are using products that claim to be extra gentle, sulfate free and/or silicone free and your hair is constantly greasy, weighed down, dry, frizzy, tangled, etc, that’s a good sign it’s time to try something else.
