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.

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.

Drugstore products usually have low concentration of protein. This low concentration restricts agents to enter the hair and scalp and this makes them inconvenient. It can make one use many of the drugstore products to treat their hair. Professional salon products though have optimum levels of protein and this permits more of the agents to enter the hair and scalp giving great 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.

Buying from salons exposes one to great customer care. Hair professionals in these places can give a lot of advice on what to buy and how to use them. They usually refer you to the best products available to get the best results. They can give you important pointers on how to take care of your hair. This privilege is however, not found in drug stores, as there are no professionals to offer advice.

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.
