Anyone remember that shampoo from the 1980s, Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific? It had deer musk, you see, so it made you very attractive to, um, male deer? And human males, too, I'm assuming.

Who doesn't want to flick their long mane in slow motion and have their luscious locks release an enchanting fragrance that mesmerizes everyone around her? Or is that just me?
At any rate, there is no shortage of exquisitely-scented shampoos that cost an arm and a leg. So we went hunting for the best-smelling shampoos that cost under ten bucks — well under ten bucks, in some cases. Here's our favorites.
