3. Shampoo & Conditioner: Prose
Not only is this subscription customized to your hair type, whether it’s coarse and curly or fine and straight, but it’s also super specific when it comes to your hair’s needs.

Prose then develops hair care formulas just for you, including a pre-shampoo mask, shampoo, and conditioner. They tell you why each ingredient is added to your custom blends and also give you the option to remove certain ingredients, such as silicone, from your products.
Boxes start at $25 a month and shipping is free. You can subscribe to get up to four of each item delivered every one, two, or three months.

Another benefit of subscribing to Bathing Culture: You’ll save 15 percent on each refill, bringing the 8 oz. body wash to $17 and the 16 oz. to $26. Delivery options range from two to seven months.
