We can all relate to cutting costs and getting more for our money in this economy. When you walk into a salon and look at all the products, do the prices make you question if it is a good buy? Before you decide to buy that $10 bottle of shampoo and conditioner at a drug store, there are a few things you really should know.
Why should you buy your products from a salon?
Salon Brand Products
-
They are created to work with specific needs of your hair. This, in turn, can actually help restructure, moisturize and smooth hair while it cleanses.
-
They are made from high quality ingredients.
-
Someone is trained to help you find what products will best suit your needs.
-
Through research, it has been found that salon products are actually less expensive.
-
Products are guaranteed.
-
You have the ability to try before you buy.
-
Containing UV Filters, thermal protection and anti-color fade technology, salon brands protect the investment you make on your hair.
-
To help support your local salon and your stylist.
VS.
Drug Store Products
-
Contain synthetic ingredients. Most contain waxes that coat your hair to give you the illusion of shiny, silky hair when, in actuality, they are doing nothing for the structure and integrity of your hair.
-
They are more expensive. You need more of the product for it to work, so you end up using about 5x more product to serve its purpose. This causes you to spend twice as much in a year on drug store products than salon products.
-
They have a high alkalinity. Your hair is acidic (4.5-5.5 on the pH scale) and by using a high alkaline product you are creating more tear on the outer layer of your hair.
-
You can't try before you buy.
-
No one is available or trained to thoroughly teach you how to use the products and what is best for your hair.
-
Contain a higher amount of cleansing surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate; Which cause color to fade and damage due to the high amount of sufactants.
