Advantages Of Using Professional Salon Products

By Alex D White


There has been an ongoing debate whether professional salon products do have an advantage over drugstore products. Drugstore products have had the upper hand in the market since they are cheaper than their counterparts are. However, cheaper is not exactly better according to hair professionals as those few extra dollars might just make the difference. Salon products have many advantages and they include the following.

The quality of ingredients is one benefit of the salon-based products. They have been formulated to perfection as all the ingredients are mixed to optimum levels. Drugstore products can only envy this kind of quality. They however make up for this by offering economical prices. However, when it comes to hair, it is advisable you choose the best quality.

The hair products also have optimum concentration of quality ingredients. This makes up for better performance when one uses them on their hair. Drugstore products have lower concentrations and thus may produce unreliable results. They can also be more expensive in the long run as one will need to use large volumes to get the job done. Their counterpart however, will give good results with the least of amounts.

Many people who use drug store products complain that the chemicals in them usually burn them. This is because the cleaning agents and surfactants are not formulated correctly and thus can burn the scalp. Salon-based products however, have these ingredients neutralized so that they are gentle on skin and hair.

The professional products usually have a higher concentration of protein in their formulations. This is meant to make agents easily penetrate the hair or the scalp. The high protein concentration thus makes one require very little amounts to effectively clean their hair and this makes it a cheaper alternative to drugstore products in the long-term.

An ingenious idea of advertisements has been used by drugstore products. They lead the customers to believe that certain properties like smell and color raise the quality of the products. These properties are however, not relevant to the cleaning process at all and are only used to serve promotion purposes. Professional salon-products are made for the purpose of cleaning and treating hair and thus have all the necessary ingredients that do the actual cleaning.

Buying from salons is an advantage in itself. This is because one gets to meet with hair professionals. They are able to tell you what are the best products to buy and how you should use them. In addition, they give you invaluable information about your hair and how to take care of it. Drugstores do not have this luxury as they only sell you the product without giving any advice. You can also book appointments with the hair professionals and spend time consulting them.

Using drug store products exposes one to large amounts of the harsh surfactants. They strip the hair of its natural oils and makes the oil glands secrete excess oils. These oils accumulate to give hair its oily appearance. Using professional products however, has the opposite effect as it removes excess oils and restores the natural oils to make you hair healthier.
