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.

Another advantage is that professional products have relatively high concentration of ingredients. This improves performance of the product and thus it is able to offer good results. Drugstore products however, contain low concentration of ingredients. This means one has to use a lot of them at any time, which can be expensive in the end. Therefore products from salons have can be used in small amounts due to their high concentration and thus can last longer.

Lathering is very important when it come to the cleaning and treatment of hair. Surfactants and cleaning agents are responsible for the lathering process. They are however, corrosive if given in high amounts. Salon-based products formulate these ingredients to be far gentler and thus reduce the risk of being burnt on the scalp.

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

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.
