You probably think all shampoo and conditioner is the
same.
The first ingredient in any shampoo or conditioner is
always water. But the difference is in how much water. Have you ever
had to fill up your palm with grocery store conditioner to cover all
your hair? Cheaper brands contain more water, so you'll use more than
a dime-size for shampoo or quarter-size for conditioner. Salon brands
are far more concentrated so that "expensive" salon
conditioner ends up as affordable as anything from a grocery store
because it lasts longer.
With drug store and grocery store
styling products, cuticle-drying alcohol is always on their
ingredients list.That's what gives it that tell-tale stiff, sticky,
shiny appearance that screams, "Don't touch me!" Salon
products, especially those without the alcohol, will result in
natural-looking hold you can run your fingers through.
The
price of salon products always includes the stylist's advice, too, so
you will be using products tailored specifically for your hair type,
lifestyle and styling needs. For example, if you have colored or
thinning hair your stylist may have you avoid products containing
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a harsh cleansing ingredient that strips
hair of its natural oils and degrades the cuticle, so hair is more
prone to breakage and leaking color prematurely. On salon shelves you
will also find:
- High quality organics and/or natural
ingredients
- Extra benefits like sunscreen
- "Sulfate-free" and "alcohol-free"
- Amazing
scents (secret: salon product creators agonize over the scent of the
product and its aromatherapy benefits)
We will show you
exactly how to use the products correctly at home, too, so your hair
will look close as possible to when you left the salon!
What
makes any hair product worth it, is whether it gives you the result
you want. If it works beautifully for you then it is worth it.
