Hair reviews can help you choose the best products for your hairstyle. While many shampoos, conditioners and styling products may seem the same, ingredients make a big difference in how they treat your hair type and style. Use hair product reviews by experts to get the low-down on what products are best for you!
Many hair products are designed to address the needs of a specific type - coarse, curly, thin or thinning - or a specific style - short, long, wavy, updos - or a host of other designs.
Ingredients used in salon-grade products are formulated and researched to offer unique benefits. Generally adding moisture, decreasing oiliness, improving body, or more medically, reducing dandruff, itching or flakes may be the desired outcome.
Many store-bought brands may have targeted formulations to help your hair, but cost of manufacturing and distribution together with the need to satisfy large-volume retailers such as Wal-Mart, CVS or Walgreens may preclude formulas and certain ingredients to keep price-points low.
This certainly has its place, especially in a poor economy, but often lower cost ingredients can be harsh - either making control problems worse or providing little, if any, benefit.
So how do hair product reviews fit in?
Like a review of a movie or a book, you will get varied opinions, but most often hair reviews provide insight from professionals that give the "good" and "not so good' of products' effectiveness, cost and performance - even the smell. Interestingly, we make our first impression of a shampoo (in particular) by how it smells. Ingredients such as sugar, menthol and peppermint, lavender, and rosemary are often used to entice us - the buyers. But, there is much more to the product than meets the nose.
Lower cost products often use surfactants (the bubbly cleansers) that will make your hair clean, but sacrifice follicle health. Adding moisture, healing dandruff, maintaining curls, or reducing breaking all have "categories" of active ingredients that help. These have been researched and proven through customer experience or manufacturers' clinical trials - and you can usually get an honest answer by some casual research into reviews - and it is especially easy online.
So, before you pick-up the best smelling product on the shelf, spend a little time online browsing through some of the best hair review sites and see what the experts are saying. You're hair will be glad you did!
