A single shampoo is $22. A "Hair Care System" with shampoo, conditioner, and treatment is $58. Hair care is a system. Sell the system, not the bottle.

AOV from hair care systems vs single product
Hair care works as a system: cleanse, condition, treat. A single shampoo without the matching conditioner and treatment is an incomplete routine. Bundle the full system.
The hacks
Hair type system bundles: fine, thick, curly, color-treated
"Curly Hair System" (curl shampoo + curl conditioner + leave-in cream). "Fine Hair System" (volumizing shampoo + lightweight conditioner + root lift spray). Hair type systems add authority. Buyers trust a matched set designed for their hair.
Wash day routine bundles with tiered treatments
Tier 1: Daily ($38) - shampoo + conditioner. Tier 2: Weekly ($55) - add deep conditioner + free shipping. Tier 3: Complete ($72) - add hair mask, scalp scrub, free wide-tooth comb. Each tier adds treatment depth. The comb at tier 3 costs $2 but drives upgrades.
Damage repair bundles for specific concerns
"Heat Damage Repair Kit" (bond repair shampoo + protein treatment + heat protectant). "Color Fade Prevention Kit" (color-safe shampoo + color-depositing conditioner + UV spray). Problem-specific kits feel like prescriptions, not product collections.
Shampoo + conditioner refill bundles
Every 8 weeks: shampoo refill + conditioner refill + a treatment sample. Hair care runs out predictably. The refill bundle captures the repeat cycle. The treatment sample introduces new products from the line.
Salon-at-home treatment bundles
"Salon Treatment at Home" (deep conditioner + hair mask + protein treatment + application brush + instructions). Position the bundle as a $58 alternative to a $150 salon treatment. The value comparison makes $58 feel like a steal.
Pair every shampoo with its matching conditioner by default
A shampoo without a conditioner is a missed cross-sell. Show the pair as the default purchase. The single bottle should be the exception, not the norm.
