Salon Shampoo Vs. Supermarket Shampoo

If you find yourself wondering why you never see a hairdresser using the same shampoo you see in your local supermarket, this may answer your question. Here is everything you need to know about shampoo:

1. Concentration – Supermarket shampoos are diluted meaning more is required when washing your hair. Salon-quality shampoo is much more concentrated, so less is needed and each bottle lasts longer.
   
   
2. Deep Cleaning - Salon shampoo cleans the hair from the inside out, compared to supermarket shampoo’s that simply clean the surface. It is so important to repair and protect the hair between salon visits.
   
   
3. Sulfates – Supermarket shampoo’s contain sulfates which make the hair lather, giving the illusion of squeaky-clean hair when in reality, that is not the case. Opt. for sulfate-free formulas for the best care.
   
   
4. Prolonging your Color – Supermarket shampoos are notorious for stripping that expensive salon color right out of your hair. This in turn results in more salon visits, some of which could have been avoided with the right products.
   ​
5. Residue – Cheaper shampoos often leave a residue on the hair which leads to an oily, unclean feeling soon after washing. With higher-quality shampoo, you should only need to wash your hair 2-3 times each week.
   
   

So that, in a nutshell, is exactly why your hairdresser isn’t using €5 shampoo in the salon. Look after your hair with salon-quality products and trust us, you will save so much money in the long-run.
