Okay...why do you think there is such a price difference between what you purchase in the drugstores, and what you purchase in the salons? Some may say its the name you're paying for, however I strongly disagree...you are paying for the ingredients and quality. Professional brands rarely advertise main stream, and generally you will only see ad's in hair magazines, the way you find out about professional products is mainly through word of mouth. Drug Store bought shampoo's contain so much detergent and sulfates that if one day i ran out of laundry detergent, I could grab a bottle of herbal essence or pantene or whatever else is sold in drug stores, pour some into my washing machine and have freshly sanitized clothes. Think about that for a second, if its strong enough to clean and sanitize your dirty socks and underwear, do you really want to put something that harsh on your head?! Then we get to the conditioners....ohh where to start....the drugstore brand conditioners are made up mainly of different types of waxes that simply coat the hair cuticle and disguise damage by filling it with wax, thus why after using drugstore conditioner 99% of the time the hair will feel super soft....and why wouldnt it? you just put a ton of wax all over your head.
I've seen some cases, usually on women/men in their 40's and 50's who have used nothing but drugstore products since they were young, they come to me to get their hair coloured and wonder why the end result is blotchy and uneven.....all the wax from the products simply sits on the hair and often times wont allow the colour molecules to penetrate through, which is when we end up with an uneven tone.......ok im gonna shut up now, if anyone actually made it to the end of this post, good on ya lol
