2. Use high-quality Shower Products
It can be tempting to rely on the ‘cheap and cheerful’ product options when it comes to keeping your hair clean and nourished, but we assure you that extremely cheap hair products are certainly not ‘cheerful’ – not when your hair’s health is concerned.
You may feel as though your hair is clean and hydrated immediately after your shower, but you’ll be disappointed to learn that it tends to be laced with harsh chemicals which, over time, can cause quite severe damage to hair. By damaging the hair shaft you’re weakening the hair and eventually cutting short it’s life span – meaning it’ll become so brittle and weak that it will snap or fall out. That’s not to say that cheap hair products don’t contain any good ingredients, but when compared to salon -products they only contain very small amounts of them.
The thought of using high-quality, salon professional products might make you eye-roll now but believe us when we say your hair will thank you for it. Salon quality shampoos and conditioners contain hair-loving ingredients, which unlike cheaper alternatives, repair, clean and hydrate your hair from the inside. You may feel as though a cheaper product does the job if your hair feels soft after use, but the reality is that it also leaves behind a waxy build-up and doesn’t actually hydrate from within – which is no good for your hair long-term.
Our stylists also told us that with salon-quality products, you won’t need to use as much either, so your bottle will last much longer – a big bonus in our opin.
