Kimberley Clark of The Hair Hut explains the difference between supermarket shampoos and salon shampoos.
Are salon shampoos really better for your hair and worth the extra cost? It’s a question we often get asked and we can absolutely say that shampoos aren’t all created equal.
You might feel that your supermarket shampoo is doing its job but these shampoos often contain more water, sulphates, fillers and silicones – cheap formulas that aren’t doing your hair any favours. They often strip your hair of natural oils, making it drier and less manageable and can irritate the scalp as well.
The salon products we recommend are designed to nourish your hair from the inside out. They contain high quality ingredients such as collagen, vitamins, micellar, peptides, oils and minerals and they’re much more concentrated, which means you use a smaller amount. We’ve also got products to give your hair UV/ thermal protection and, if you’ve had a colour added, we recommend a shampoo with anti-colour fade technology.
If you’re still on the fence about making the change, we have travel sizes to purchase and samples to give you and, of course, our stylists will discuss the best options for your hair. It will take a few weeks to get the supermarket shampoo out of your hair but after that, you’ll find your hair is softer, more manageable and healthier. You won’t want to go back!
