Benefits 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.

They have quality ingredients as compared to drugstore products. They usually have better formulations, optimum mixture of surfactants, moisturizers and conditioners. Drugstore products have relatively inferior ingredients and since they lack in quality, they compensate with cheaper prices. Thus, professional salon products have the upper hand when it comes to quality making it a better option.

Concentrations of these salon-based products are at very good levels. Since it is a mixture of quality ingredients, the results are amazing when used on hair. Drugstore products however, lack in concentration of these ingredients and they give bad results when used. In addition to that, the salon-based products are used in small amounts compared to the drugstore products and thus can be cost effective option.

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.

Moisturizer and conditioners of shampoos have a higher concentration of protein in them. This allows agents to easily penetrate the hair or scalp. More constituents of this means that people will use less of the product to effectively treat and clean their hair. Compared to a drugstore product, they will be a cheaper alternative in the end and will still produce quality results.

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.

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.
