Importance 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.

Another advantage is that professional products have relatively high concentration of ingredients. This improves performance of the product and thus it is able to offer good results. Drugstore products however, contain low concentration of ingredients. This means one has to use a lot of them at any time, which can be expensive in the end. Therefore products from salons have can be used in small amounts due to their high concentration and thus can last longer.

Surfactants and cleaning agents are particularly important in the lathering process, which is crucial in hair treatment. They are much gentler in professional salon shampoos than in drugstore products. Therefore, one does not need to worry about being burnt by the chemicals or their hair getting damaged in the process. In addition, they do not pose much risk to your health.

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.

Drugstore shampoos and gels have usually advertised certain properties that attract customers. They include aroma, colors and lathering ability. The truth however is that none of these properties is influential when it comes to the cleaning properties. In addition, secret ingredients like aloe that are advertised in their packaging do not influence performance since the concentration is minimal to produce results. Products offered by salons however, are optimized for performance to give the best possible results

Good customer care is also another important benefit. As you buy products from salons, you get the chance to interact with hair care professionals. They can give good advice especially when it comes to using the products. They can also give tips on how to care for your hair and guidance on how to maintain it. Furthermore, they help you chose the best products to use on your hair to achieve the best results. It is however, the complete opposite with drugstore products as no consultation is given.

Harsh surfactants like ammonium laurel sulfate remove natural oils from hair. This causes a chain reaction, which makes the oil glands work overtime and this results to a oily appearance of hair. This ingredient is very common in drugstore products and it cause ill effects to the scalp. Salon- based products however work in the opposite direction by removing excess oils and leaving the natural oils improving the health of hair.
