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.

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.

Ammonium laurel sulfate, which is common in most drugstore products, is a very harsh surfactant as it strips natural oils in the hair that are natural to the scalp. Oil glands are thus overworked and it leads to buildup of oils that gives the hair a greasy appearance. Products from salons work efficiently to remove excess oils and keep only the good oils so that the hair remains healthy.
