Shampoo - does price matter?
Shampoo prices do not always insure better quality
I have written several articles over the past few years on whether or not the higher priced brands and salon shampoos are worth what we’re paying for them.
“you can save a lot of money by sticking with less expensive shampoo brands”
There have also been TV specials, consumer reports article and many newspaper accounts like the one below that all come to pretty much the same conclusion. The bottom line, is that you can save a lot of money by sticking with less expensive shampoo brands.
If you’re looking to shave a few dollars off your budget when it comes to be hair care products, shampoo is a likely candidate for savings. Often the pricey salon product can be bought at the discount chains like Wal-Mart and Target at deeply discounted prices. Try to stay away from the big brand names you will find that there is a lot of marketing expenses built-in to the bottle of your shampoo.
Some cheaper shampoos do have some harsher detergents that can be not as effective on certain types and textures of hair. If you find that you’ve purchased a bottle of shampoo that’s not right for your hair type and texture and it seems not to be a good fit, just toss it away or give it to a girlfriend to try. Pay attention to those ingredients that were in that particular brand and try to avoid those chemicals in future hair care product purchases.

Interestingly, the ‘rinse and repeat’ instructions you will read on every shampoo bottle go back to a marketing campaign one manufacturer created to increase sales. It does that all right, and you can make your shampoo last twice as long if you skip ‘repeat.’ |
