Suave is one of those brands that offer a lot for a fraction of the price. People might be concerned that they use cheap ingredients but that is absolutely not the case. To get rid of the myth that Suave is a brand that deceives with its prices, I have used many of its shampoos to see if that is the case. Spoilers, Suave does not deceive anyone, and their products are great!
Here, I have reviewed the best shampoos that Suave has to offer! From their best overall shampoo, here are the 10 best Suave shampoos according to their respective category.
1. Best Overall – Suave Professionals Shampoo, Deep Moisture
Specification

Description
Suave Professionals Deep Moisture Shampoo helps replenish moisture in your hair and gives it a moisture boost that other shampoos can’t! Leaves hair feeling smooth and weightless, with salon-proven ability that cares for your hair.
Features

Weightless: does not weigh down the hair
Soft and manageable: you can style your hair however you want after use
How to use?
Shampoos are pretty simple to use. Wet your hair in lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as it damages your hair. Then take an amount that covers the middle of your palm and lather it. Apply it to wet hair, massaging it into the scalps for about a minute, and then rinse it out with cold or lukewarm water. You can add an appropriate Suave conditioner after rinsing out the shampoo. Use it every 3 to 4 days or whenever your hair feels greasy.
Expert Verdict
When it comes to Suave, nothing beats the Suave Professionals Deep Moisture Shampoo. The deep moisturizing that your hair gets cannot be beaten by other Suave products or any other shampoos for that matter! It leaves your hair feeling soft and weightless, meaning that you can style your hair however you please after use. The only downside to this is the fact that it can wash out the natural oil in your hair with frequent use so only use it when your hair is feeling greasy. Still, the best Suave shampoo that you will ever use. Period!
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Helps moisturize your hair | Dries out with frequent use |

Expert Verdict
When it comes to oily hair, there are only so many shampoos on the market that expensive brands make to deal with it. That is why the Suave Essentials Anti Residue Clarifying Hair Shampoo is ideal for oily hair! Not only will it keep your hair clean of any oil, but it will also make sure to not leave a residue either. The gentle formula will also make sure that your scalps will not feel irritated and clear the oil easily and smells good. The only problem that I have found was the fact the product does foam as much as others, so you will end up using a lot more of the product as a result. That is good as it is a relatively inexpensive product.
Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Gentle formula to clear out the oil from hair and scalp | Doesn’t foam or lather well; end up using more of the product. |

Wet your hair in lukewarm water. Take an appropriate amount and lather the shampoo in your hands before applying it to wet hair, massaging it into the scalps for about a minute.

Afterward, wash out your hair one final time with cold water.
Expert Verdict
When it comes to a Suave product that works well together, there is none better than the Suave Professionals Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner. Where the shampoos will cleanse the hair of dirt and oil, the conditioners will return the hair oils that your hair will be missing. Both the shampoo and conditioners work to smoothen your hair and get rid of frizzy hair. It is best when used together so be sure to condition your hair accordingly and use it every 3 days later to make sure your hair does not start flaking. The only cause for concern is that they changed the bottle to a pump. While pumps are fine, it means that getting that last bit of conditioner might be a pain to deal with.

Expert Verdict
If you have curls and can’t find a shampoo that helps keep them holding, then look no further than the Suave Pink Luscious Curls Shampoo! It helps keep your curls in place and gives you the flexibility to style them however you may. The amino acid complex will also make sure that your hair has the moisture that loses, making sure that your curls are frizz-free and shiny.
