Poorly Rated Shampoo Haircare Products
There are so many haircare products available to choose from both professional brands and drugstore brands. I’ve given my take on my favorite brands of shampoos, but I’ve never told you about the awful ones.
- Sunsilk Brand Anti-Caida Shampoo — Love their ads, hate the product! Although the ads are enough to reel you in to purchase the product, once you try Sunsilk haircare products, you will never use them again (at least I won’t). There is a reason that Sunsilk shampoos run less than five bucks and that reason is bad quality! Reviewers have said that Sunsilk leaves their hair feeling ‘worse than before’, ‘dried out’ and ‘icky feeling’. I say spend the few extra dollars and purchase haircare products that you know and trust.
.
- Samy Smooth Shampoo — This line of drugstore haircare products failed. I’m not saying that all drugstore brands or inexpensive brands are horrible, but this one is! Samy Smooth Shampoo left testers’ hair feeling ‘greasy’ and ‘funky feeling and dry’. Now is this any way for your hair to feel?
.
- TIGI Bed Head Moisture Maniac Shampoo — Now here is a professional product that just doesn’t measure up. The problem with this haircare products line is the name . . . Moisture Maniac. The name would lead you to believe that it is going to moisturize your hair but, unfortunately, that is not the case. After speaking to a TIGI representative, I was informed that this shampoo isn’t for moisturizing at all and she believes that they should reconsider changing the product name. Well I have to agree with her; if the product is not moisturizing, then definitely change the name to reflect what it should do instead.
So what makes these haircare products and others like them not measure up? Maybe it has to do with ingredients. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is listed as a main ingredient in all three of these hair care products, as well as others that tend to be more harsh on hair. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is one of the harsher cleansing ingredients in shampoos. When looking for a shampoo, try to find one with the ingredient Sodium Laureth Sulfate instead of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (either one will be listed in the first three ingredients) because Sodium Laureth Sulfate is one of the most gentle cleansing ingredients in shampoos.
L’Oreal Promises to Eventually Re-Pigment Gray Hair
L’Oreal claims to have a treatment available within ten years that will re-pigment gray hair to its original color. L’Oreal’s research and development headquarters, Centre Charles Zviak says that if everything goes according to plan, gray hair will be long forgotten. The L’Oreal research team has put almost one billion dollars into researching and developing this future treatment.
It seems that L’Oreal is always on the cutting edge of hair color. I had reported previously that L’Oreal was developing color hair care products that have no ammonia (one of the damaging ingredients in hair color) but still work just like traditional hair colors.
I look forward to this treatment in the future. After all, having two children under two, I may be almost 100% gray in the next ten years!
