Is expensive shampoo and conditionner a con?

I have used some expensive conditionners in the past in order to get my hair to look shiney and healthy - I%26#039;m not sure any have done much good, despite their enormous cost. Maybe most of that money goes on marketing rather than the product itself. Recently I have been eating very heathily and using a mega-bottle conditionnier of shops own brand, cost 37p for a litre or something silly, and the shampoo was even less, and my hair is so healthy looking several people have commented and asked what hair product I use. I think expensive hair products are a total swizzle what say you???

Is expensive shampoo and conditionner a con?

Reply:my girlfriend is a hairdresser and i think its a load of rubbish but she says its healthier for your hair and has more stuff in it to keep your hair healthy and what not
Reply:Yes it is a con just like all the rest of the rubbish that women use in order to make them look something they are not.





It is women%26#039;s own fault that they are get conned like this because of their stupidity and excessive feminine vanity.
Reply:Yeah i think it is a con too
Reply:i agree, they give them all these fancy names, you can get shampoo for dry hair, greasy hair, thin hair, thick hair etc etc, but have you noticed you cant get one for dirty hair....
Reply:All tepol based so the base constituent is tepol based , carry on , I don%26#039;t think you ought to use conditioner daily , diet it%26#039;s the diet . Just for interest you can use washing up liquid .
Reply:They clean your hair and seem to work on mine, ive tried expensive and cheap from Selfridges and Boots and they both do the job, its just that one may have more soap lather or smell better than the other, the other reason I use them is that its far less easier to get dandruff, so all in all a con maybe for the dearer make, but it helps
Reply:I was using expensive shampoo etc but because of lack of funds I changed to a cheap chemist brand and my hair is still in good condition. The one I used even offered a money back guarantee if you didnt like it.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think price guarantees a good product- it%26#039;s what suits your hair best. Some people even make their own at home- which are very cheap. I must admit I use one that%26#039;s 拢4.99 a bottle- Tommyguns Blueberry, Ginseng %26amp; Honey Conditioner. It makes my hair smell nice- so my husband says and feel soft- if he%26#039;s actually noticed it must be working! But otherwise, I have found many expensive ones a let down. It%26#039;s all about finding the one right for your hair type.
Reply:pretty much.


but it smells nice. =)
Reply:no its not a con,salon shampoos and conditioners are a lot more concentrated and better suited to the individuals needs..it has better ingriedients which makes it more expensive.as a hairdresser and having used both types,i KNOW there is a huge difference.u probably werent using the right shampoo for ur hair,or u didnt understand the product. for example,redken is a shampoo that works purely on the inside of the hair shaft. so while its making ur hair stronger and fixing what was broken chemically (eg perming and colouring),its not improving the feel of it.whereas some salon shampoos are more cosmetic..making ur hair feel good,but not improving the condition of it as much. maybe ur hairdresser that recommended the salon shampoo wasnt clear enough with you about the differences. the shampoo ur using now tho is purely cosmetic..making it feel lovely,but not doing any work on the inside.which is fine for ur hair-as long as its not chemically damaged.
Reply:Being a hairdresser myself.. I would have to say that not all expensive shampoo and conditioners are cons. I have worked with many different types of brands and have found that some of the less expensive shampoo%26#039;s are actually doing damage to your hair. I found it very hard to sell products to people when I knew that they were not going to do anything different then what a cheaper brand did. So i found that the clients that I looked after kept coming back cause the products i did sell to them did what i said they would. Some of the cheaper brands contain silicone which coats the hair giving the illusion that it is shiny and healthy. This is ingredient is suffocating the hair. So if you were to ever want to give your hair a treatment or colour your hair with just a semi-permanent colour then it would not actually work as the outside has the coating on it. Most expensive products are designed specially for a certain problem i.e dry scalp, coloured hair, oily hair... so this is what they are meant to help fix. Like with most damaged hair shampoos you would find they contain protein. This does not make your hair feel soft and shiny at first as what it%26#039;s doing is repairing your hair from the inside out.


Also when shampooing with any expensive shamp/cond, if you have to use more than a small coin size then your using too much. (Your really just washing it down the drain) You should always shampoo your hair twice on the roots. First application removes the dirt and oil. Shampoo also opens the cuticle allowing the second application to really clean the hair. And then condition the hair once only on the ends of the hair. This adds the moisture and closes the cuticle. If you add the conditioner to the roots then the hair produces too much natural oils making the hair prone to getting oily or looking dirty alot earlier than it should. Most cheaper shamp/cond require you to use a whole handful to get the desired result.





After all that I would go to a hairdresser and see if they offer a money back guarentee, this would also suggest that they stand behind their products.
Reply:I%26#039;ve tried expensive shampoos/conditioners and cheap ones. Personally prefer the cheaper ones. Expensive ones claim to do a million things and hardly deliver so a complete waste of money in my opinion.
