SKII is a big Japanese skincare brand, they use fermented rice in their ingredients which was based off the women working at the sake factories who had clear ageless perfect skin, and the founders of SKII used this to their benefit and scaled the price up so that only the wealthy can afford it on any type of regular basis..
I'm also interested in trying them! But shouldn't shampoo be more aggressive than gentle? I have thin sparse curly hair so if I don't wash with a shampoo that's going to get rid of most of the oil, dirt, and product buildup, my hair looks greasy and flat. Right now I'm using loreal.
My mom is a formulations expert for haircare manufacturers and suppliers so I’ve learned a lot from her. I want to thank you for learning the real info about ingredients instead of spreading internet based rumors and fearmongering! 90% of what’s out there on the internet about haircare is advertising or falsehoods honestly
I am 75 years old and I believe everything that this young girl has to say I have had hair that was so dry and so thin my whole life that I think it could stab someone lol since I listen to her and her advice about coconut oil the L'Oreal you leave shampoos the eight water wonder water and the things the drugstore things that she has told us about my hair is the most beautiful thing on my body right now thanks to her God bless❤

True, it funny...why all this people are so CONFIDENT claims other lower shampoo are VERY Low quality.I do some research these a village in china called YAO village. U'll be surprised at what they using for their hair. What u see is Pure Thick Black Longest hair u ever seen
i don't even know who to trust at this point, some hair influencers say professional hair care is better for your hair, some say leave in conditioner and oils are not good for your hair. Some say Air drying is bad and some say it's totally natural also washing daily is bad while derms say that's a myth and blah blah blah like I don't know anymore at this point 😅 I get some people are trying to help in the comments but all of this is just repetitive hair care advice, I know what works for my hair, I know what to use and what not to use, all i'm saying is there's so many mixed opinions out there by hair influencers and who really knows what the truth is.
for shampoos and conditioners and leave in products i would say high end products are way better and make ur hair feel so nice and soft. since i used drugstore products my whole life, switching to professional products was a game changer to me and i couldn't go back to using drugstore products!
It really comes down to specific brands and products, and how well they work for your hair. The fact that a brand is “professional” or “high end” doesn’t automatically mean that it’s any good (or will work for your hair), and the fact that another brand is “drugstore” doesn’t mean it’s bad. I’ve had really good drugstore products, and some really crappy high end ones. It’s allll about the individual product. As far as whether or not you should wash your hair everyday goes…it totally depends on your scalp, how oily it gets, and how well it tolerates being oily. An influencer can’t tell you how often you should wash your hair, because that’s a very individual thing. When I was only washing my hair 2x per week, I ended up with seborrheic dermatitis, major fallout, and other problematic changes in my hair. My dermatologist told me to start washing my hair every other day, and all of my problems cleared up. If you tend to get oily pretty quickly, then washing your hair everyday is totally fine. If your hair stays clean/dry longer, you can wait to wash it until it gets a little bit greasy. If an influencer is trying to give you a hard and fast rule, they don’t really know what they’re talking about, to be honest 🤷🏻♀️
Washing every day isn’t bad for your skin (scalp). It’s bad for your hair. That’s why a dermatologist would say that daily washing is good. For your skin/scalp, it’s fine. For your hair, not so much.
I say that it all depends on your hair. I have straight hair that never gets frizzy or anything…I can wake up and not even brush it and it looks decent. I can use both drugstore and high end hair products successfully, whereas others can’t. We all have different issues and goals that we want to achieve with our hair, therefore, it’s not a one size fits all situation.
Thank you! I find it very difficult to put down over $100 on shampoo/conditioner. I just can’t bring myself to do it. So I appreciate a financially conscious recommendation. ❤❤❤
For me, the only category i buy high end is deep conditioning masks and bond repair treatment. Any other categories, i feel the drugstore has good options. I could probably go drugstore for hair masks, buy i am pretty obsessed with Briogeo's 😂
I started using not your mothers bonding line and my hair has never been better. I’ve used all the super expensive brands and this is the only thing that has helped my hair at all.
My go to is the Herbal Essence Rose Hips because it makes my hair incredibly silky and soft. I have stubborn curls/waves and I've used so many other products that just don't work. Including high end salon brands.
And drug store shampoos help you get the most out of high end ones! I've been using the Pantene Volume for almost two months now and I love how easy it lathers up! Then I only have to use a little bit of Morrocanoil shampoo for my second wash 😊
I tried the L’Oréal Repair series and the Hyaluron series, they done nothing but made me half bald. I’m sure they worked wonders for some but not for my scalp. I gave them 5 washes in total within the course of 1 month and each time I wash my hair with these, SHEDDING! So I knew it was the formulation and ingredients that didn’t agree with my scalp!
Abby i have to tell you, I'm a guy and had very wavy healthy hair up until september when i first got a bad haircut and decided that while i wait for it to grow back out i would dye it for fun and lemme tell you i DESTROYED my hair and ended up losing about 70% of it on my crown but with your haircare tips especially the coconut oil one I've been able to grow it back out faster!
I think people need to understand that all hair is different, and as such, all products are different. There is no 'one size' when it comes to hair care. Just like how one drug store conditioner might be bad for your hair, a luxery brand might also be terrible. Its all about products, and sometimes, just the formula is perfect for you. If you have a product that works for you, no matter how cheap or expensive, its what works for you.
I have *EXTREMELY OILY HAIR* (if I wash i one morning with in 12-24 hours, it’s disgustingly oily again) that Pantene you showed I have been using for a while now and lemme tell you, I’ve gone like 5 *days* without any oil at all. I’m not saying it’ll be like that for everyone but if nothings worked for you, trust me and try it out
Right! I swear most shampoos don’t even clean my hair good but whatever my hair stylist uses or her technique I can go five days😭. I’m like maybe I don’t just have oily hair and my hair isn’t being cleaned enough from the shampoos. I remember being in middle school and going a week and thought that my hormones changed or something😭. The best ones I’ve tried is the k18 and the ouai detox but even those I can only make it three days and my scalp is irritating. I know last time my stylist used the it’s a 10 so I’m going to try that and a hard water filter cause my dream is to have hair that light and go that long without my scalp being itchy and heavy feeling. I wish I could use the Pantene but I get keratin treatments so I can’t use sulfates :(
Tbh, as someone who used drugstore hair products for their whole life, i would say that switching to professional shampoos, conditioners and leave in products was a game changer! once u switch to high end it's difficult to get back to cheap prodcuts because they preform way better and last longer!
@@light-tk3pj You should use products that match your hair type, mine is dry. I'm currently using a set from the brand Morrocanoil that contains a shampoo, a conditioner, and a leave in conditioner. Also it's important to use a hair serum/oil after these steps to maintain frizz, i personally go for the L'Oreal extraordinary oil. Hope this helps😊
@@ErZi-uo7fmThat’s where I’m at right now. I spent like 10 years trying to find a high end brand of shampoo and conditioner that actually worked for me. My hair was never really happy with any of them. Paul Mitchell was probably the best, but still just kind of average. I’m not 100% committed to any drugstore shampoo/conditioner just yet, but so far L’oreal has been making my hair feel the best it has felt in YEARS.
Im the opposite! I’m a cosmetologist who tired expensive haircare for years but the thing that works best for my fine flat hair is from the drugstore 😢😂
Your hair Recs are what’s keeping me alive rn. I’ve always has really thick and curly hair but just got a new job and have been blowing it out for the last couple of months and completely messed up my hair. Trying to cut and heal it but I’m also trying to prevent future damage thank you
I don't know if it is a drug store shampoo but suave curl professional is the best I found for my hair . Ot really works. And the conditioner is so hydrating. The combination made my curls so bouncy and it doesn't frizz even in 80 per humidity.
My favorite is the mielle brand hair treatment and their other products. I have superfine hair that tangels and breaks so easily. The strengthening mask make is so my hair doesn't tangel at all. In fact it is the only mask I've used that lifts oil residue from my scalp enough that I can wait a couple days to shampoo. I always condition and use leave in too but this treatment was a God send.
I've experienced both bad and good at the drugstore.. the kristin Ess products are really good for the price.. I don't like the Pantene but I've never used that one myself and do like not your mothers.. a good dry shampoo too! But I always used the L'Oréal ones in that tube .. not bad but I still think the higher end ones are better.. but then I only wash my hair once a week.. thanks for the advice!
Yah, I do not trust this review at all. Most generic store bought shampoos contain harsh and toxic ingredients. Pantene, dove, etc, garbage products likely containing endocrine disrupting ingredients. Will they wash and do the job, probably, but they may also cause you other unrelated issues. Your skin is the largest organ on your body and absorbs everything that touches it. But, hey, I’m sure some people still believe that’s a conspiracy.
@@anniebell6846probably but Pantene is literally the worst on the market. The only shampoo that made my healthy soft hair feel like straw and the breakage was insane.
The thing with hair influencers is they find what works for their hair specifically, but then advertise as if it’s universal. For me high-end products, (and believe me I tried so many,) dry or frizz both my virgin and process hair. BUT! I know that it is specifically because of my genetics on how my hair uniquely is. I now stick with drugstore and a few Japanese brands. Other than you, I pretty much made it a habit of skipping almost every hair influencer. I appreciate that you speak on practicality considering chemistry and share results from others you have seen, rather than just because it works for you. I have thick oily hair, and tried the first recommended shampoo here, and gotta admit it is amazing on my end. It left it feeling moisturized and seemed so gentle. I’m kinda addicted to it, and it’s nice smell. 😊
I would love to see you review the ingredients of some shampoos that are marketed for equine use. Like Mane n Tail and Cowboy Magic! Mane n Tail is all over drug stores now and I personally love Cowboy Magic!
I use Suave’s daily clarifying shampoo once a week along with their smooth performer conditioner and afterward on towel dried hair I use OGX extra strength miracle coconut oil leave in treatment and my hair is the healthiest it has EVER been in my life. Don’t sleep on drugstore products. They are a fraction of the price and perform 20x better than any salon or high end hair product you can buy!
Shampoo is the easy part. Find me great conditioner for bleached hair (that you can easily comb through while wet) at the drugstore and you’ve found a unicorn.
I have long curly bleached hair and use Keratin hair mask by Kallos cosmetics is 5€ for a big ass tube and i find it very good especially for combing with it in (my hair tangles terribly). It also helps with the frizzines and dryness bleach gives
I use drugstore hair masks for conditioning my bleached hair. Of course never near the scalp/roots. My hair dresser was surprised how healthy my hair is despite it being bleached and me using a flat iron every day. It’s definitely because of the hair mask for conditioner hack. Before I started doing this my hair would fall out if I bleached it
I LOVE kristen ess. When i was 10 I started noticing acne around my forehead and hairline. I googled what it could mean. Found out my cheap $1 shampoo + conditioner may be the problem. I decided to use Kristen ess. For no reason. And To this day. It has treated my skin, and hair sooo well. I love it.
Not Your Mothers, is a trusted brand, for me. Will check out that clarifying shampoo. I do a deep conditioner after every shampoo. Once a month I use a clarifying product. My curls need heavier conditioner and a monthly clarify.
I color my hair and use the L’Oréal EverPure based on my stylist’s recommendation. As I recall, it doesn’t contain sulfates which were impacting the color between visits.
As a Blk Woman with natural hair, I can attest to the quality of Kristen Ess products. The scalp purifying micellar shampoo is amazing. I first got it for my lil sis who has the type of flakes you can peel off in pretty large sheets. I parted her hair, applied it to the scalp, used the det.brush to massage it in, rwd repeat a few times, running the lather through the length of her hair on the last one. It do wonders for her scalp, but she also had a lot of buildup that made her hair look dull, and her curls look course n tight - she's a kinda 3c/4a mix. It worked wonders there too. It got rid of the buildup without stripping her hair, and her curls came back to life.
I've used drug store shampoo for a very long time and this year I switched to a high end product and the difference is significant, not all high end products are better but some really are, and I also realized that I don't need to use as much peoduct with this shampoo and my hair stays clean longer so the price difference is minimal
@@luv1nartfrem the drug store I've used mostly pantene, fructis and also Garnier....now I use System professional ( ketatin protect shampoo), I do a Fist wash with a Little amount of product to remove the oils, dirt etc... then a second wash with a Little bit more product I message It till It foams and I leave It on for 5-7 minutes and then I wash really well
@@luv1nart I wash my hair 2 times a week...the System Professional Is about 20 to 30 € depending on the website...the drug store ones were about 2-3 €... I'm in Europe so I don't know how much they are in $
@@luv1nart obviously It depends on the issues that you have if this One it's the right product...probably from this brand there are different type of shampoo depending on the concern
Luxury hair products are NOT sold in drug stores. When you see Paul Mitchell at Walgreen it’s another company that has licensed the name but the formulas ARE DIFFERENT. If you buy a bottle at a licensed salon the bottle SAYS it’s authentic and the real deal bc the real deal is ONLY found in salons. Same for many other brands, Paul Mitchell is just a well know example. Even the bottle and wording on them is different.
Every expensive shampoo I've used, including every salon I've been too, I'm allergic to. Its a mild allergy, just itchy scalp and bumps that go away if I avoid the allergen. I just find it very amusing when people try to push the expensive brands that give me the same effect as the dollar store brands. Dove, Pantene, Loreal, and Head and Shoulders have always been safe ❤
My fave shampoo is VO5 and costs me a whopping $.85 at Walmart. My hair feels soft and silky and I get tons of compliments….PLUS there are SOOOO many yummy scents that are amazing!!
For many years I used one specific drug store shampoo and my hair was amazing. As in no damage, weightless (which was odd because I have so much hair), soft, silky, smooth, shiny etc etc. I had at least 5 solid days of amazing hair with this shampoo/conditioner. Then as the pandemic came along they stopped carrying it in stores. And videos like these started coming along telling me I needed to buy more expensive “top notch” shampoos/conditioners. So I tried. Honestly, what a monumental waste of my time and money. My hair was frumpy, oily way too quick, frizzy, lacking any type of luster or natural volume, my scalp was smelly and the lost goes on. People need to just use what makes their hair amazing and keeps it healthy. Also, LOVE the not your mothers. That’s a great second best!
I just bought a bottle of kristen ness a few days ago and it made my hair literally squeaky clean. Im talking my hair squeaked when i rubbed my hands over it after rinsing the suds off in the shower. I've also noticed my scalp doesnt feel like it has sebum build up since a washing it a few days ago. Ive only used it once, but am already noticing a difference.
I use Selsun blue to clarify, then Kirsten ess purple shampoo and conditioner followed by not your mothers purple mask. I also use Monday moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
THE LOREAL BOND REPAIR SHAMPOO SHE SHOWED HAS LITERALLY CHANGED MY HAIR OVERNIGHT. I ALSO USE THE MATCHING CONDITIONER. I HEAT STYLE MY HAIR AFTER AND IT FEELS LIKE SILK. I USE ITS A 10 LEAVE IN HEAT PROTECTANT MIXED WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT OIL THEN BRUSH MY HAIR ABD BLOWDRY. THEN WHEN MY HAIR IS DRY I USE LOREAL SLEEK IT HEAT PROTECTANT ON MY DRY HAIR ENDS AND COMB IT THROUGH. AT THIS POINT MY HAIR FEELS SILKY BUT I DO RUN A STRAIGHTENER OVER THE FRIZZY PIECES WITH THE TEMP AT 300. WHEN ITS DONE ITS LITERALLY LIKE SILK 🤯 ON THE ENDS I ADD MORE OIL AND USE A PEA SIZE OF SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT SMOOTHING CREAM AS WELL. MY HAIR SMELLS SO GOOD AND HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!
I am not studying hair care science but I do love the pure zero stregthening shampoo. You can get it at target and I also love the kristin ness purple shampoo and conditioner when i was silver blond. The shampoo never made my hair dry. And it was legitimately the only purple shampoo and conditioner that I noticed immediate results after using it.
I tried the apple cider vinegar because I heard so many great things about it. Sadly, it did not work for me. My hair would look oily on the same day I washed it with that shampoo.
I used to swear by the Pantene volume shampoo..and then I got sucked into the whole “drugstore is not good for you” couple years later and a lot of money wasted…I still adore the Pantene and switch it up every now and then but it’s a fantastic product.
I was just talking to my mom about you yesterday saying you know all things hair and you’re the only hair care influencer I trust but I hadn’t seen your videos in ages! I started seeing them again today :D not sure if that’s my phone listening to me or just me manifesting but I’ll take it!
When should I used a clarifying shampoo vs non-clarifying shampoos? Can you create a video on that? Like use clarifying once a week or two weeks? And use the non-clarifying every day?
I use Neutrogena grapefruit shampoo as a clarifying shampoo and, at one time, apple cider vinegar shampoo. Grapefruit was very good. Still use it occasionally
Can you recommend other drugstore shampoo? I couldn’t find the Loreal Ever Pure in my country. I’m from Europe and Olaplex and Kerastase are just too expensive for my budget 😅
I don’t know what it is but Pantine moisture renewal does amazing with my hair, like better than some salon brand i’ve used. I think I just found a lucky match. I still use my redkin clarifying shampoo every few washes with a hair mask… but that’s more to pamper myself of to deal with product buildup when I use hairspray
Pureology and Redken have the best shampoo/conditioner lines. I ran out of conditioner one day so I bought from the store my hair was a mess. Never in my life did I think paying over $20 for a bottle of shampoo would be worth it, but I was wrong. It's so much better for your hair to invest in high-end hair products. Quality over quantity. They both make products for all hair types. You also need very little compared to store bought. Invest in high-end hair products. If you drink coffee everyday from starbucks, take that money you spend in a week and buy good shampoo/ conditioner instead.
All modern shampoos are formulated pretty much the same way: A primary surfactant, a secondary surfactant or foam builder, a pH adjuster, conditioners, colorants, preservatives.
I have curly, coloured hair and almost all of the products I use are from the drugstore or Walmart. The only thing that isn’t is the colour-depositing shampoo my hairdresser suggested to keep my blue looking its best
Pantene volume shampoo/conditioner and dove dermacare antidandruff shampoo fixed my oily scalp. The money I saved I used it to buy the Oribe hair cream and ny hair looks, feels soft shiny and healthy
I hate how some influencers just be sheeting on Suave, even though that company is taking the steps to improve their brand. Just recently they took the step of taking their Not Tested on Animals to the next level and even pulled their brand out of nations which forces testing on animals laws, so the Suave stuff you'll see in animal testing nations are just older bottles that were overstoked , while the newer bottles sold here in the US are the new improved policy brand that no longer abuses animals and they are taking steps to provide fair wages for their workers. I love that for them, because Suave isn't an expensive brand and it is a good product to use ... their bigger shampoo and conditioner are under $2. I just feel that inexpensive overcounter products get sheeted on too much, so thank you lady for standing up for us poorer folks who can't buy the big name brand expensive goop. Bless you.
I feel for animals. Animal cruelty is wrong. More people should stand up against it, so thank you for posting this. Suave never did my hair wrong when I had to budget. I had a boyfriend that used it everyday. His hair was very nice.
I noticed that when I was young I could do with most drugstore shampoos but now that Im old and post menopausal, my hair is new to me have to be very patient and rediscover it and treat it accordingly. And have to buy high end hair care. But not any hair care , have to try em, and it was a frustrating thing. But now Im seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and my hair its getting healthier. But it was no drugstore hair care system.
I used to buy high end. I decided to look at my expenses and first cut was anything high end. Skincare is the exception. I think my hair looks better now with drugstore shampoo.
Your recommendations have made significant improvements to my hair that even others have noticed. ❤ could you please recommend a clarifying shampoo for dandruff caused by seborrheic dermatitis?
I follow blowout professor and his advice and routine and after trying so many products his routine and products has worked best for me. And im not going back because my hair looks and feels amazing. And he does not recommend drugstore shampoos at all. And i kinda agree because i grew up using many different drugstore shampoos and nothing was good tbh made my scalp oily and ends dry which is opposite of what i want. I haven't tried the specfic ones she's mentioned but i probably wont be going back unless i have to.
I have sensitive skin so I use whatever doesn't give me a rash. That tends to be hair products from health food stores, since both professional and drugstore hair products tend to give me a rash. So I guess I'm saying that yeah, they're probably the same since I can't use either of them lol.
Just to clarify (haircare joke) nat is referring to uk high street. The majority of the products named other than the pantene one are not available on the high street in the uk or europe.
I have yet to have a good experience with high end shampoos. Color safe ones stripped my hair so bad. I had to chop my hair and couldn't have colored hair until i finished it. Honestly, my hair looks and feels great with my drugstore products
It's just that most drugstore ones contain SLS and idc if it's marketed as "clarifying" if I want it to be that "clarifying" I might as well use dish soap
I literally only use one bottle for everyday use, and it's shampoo, i dont use conditioner on a daily basis bc i already have oily hair. My favorite shampoo is the hair technology line from Avon, i use a deep conditioner only once a week in winter and only in winter bc my hair and skin dries out ALOT in winter. It works for me I rarely style my hair and when I do i tend to not like it anyway, I prefer my natural hair much more bc i have a soft curl. In conclusion what I want to say is that everyone is different, different products will work for you and different routines will work for you. So don't listen to influencers so intently just find what works for you.
Kristen Ess is hands down my most favourite shampoo ive everr tried. I'm so upset the store near me stopped selling it. But wow, I didn't even realise it was drugstore☺️ it's that good! I only have a tiny bit left, so i save it for special occasions like my birthday & Christmas! 🤏🏼😂
Hair salons people always talk about how much the salon products are better ingredients and will even last longer. Can you please weigh in on why? Thank you for reading this!
As usual, it depends on your hair & what you need. Some ppl hate Pantene. It is the only 1 that doesn't make my hair feel like hay. I have tried one brand from my Fab Fit Fun box but it's way more expensive so I use it weekly. My 13yr old is looking for her fav bc hormones. It will depend on her hair type and what works. It's sad ppl say all of something is trash. It simply isn't true.
I use dermaveen shampoo and conditioner and a drugstore hair mask. I like the Garnier/ maui/ loreal whatever is on special. My scalp is fairly sensitive so using drugstore or high end shampoo/conditioners makes my scalp itchy if I use them long term. Just use whatever you think is best for you. I personally don't really see much difference with high end shampoos or conditioner's. It's an about the hair mask!!
Will clarifying shampoos strip my color? I want to get rid of build up but I just got my hair done and don’t want to ruin it. Like should I just wait until my color naturally fades a bit before I use a clarifying shampoo.
I exclusively use Korean and Japanese hair salon hair care products. Much more gentle and nourishing. Especially since I have psoriasis and I don't get inflammed and itchy scalp as much with those
I don’t know why but I’ve tried those gentle shampoos for 2/3 years and it worked but my hair wasn’t very amazing. I got kinda scared to use fragrance and silicones that are in a lot of shampoos bcs I have sensitieve skin and struggle with acne. It left my hair very plain and dry no matter how much conditioner I would use, it didn’t lather very nice with a lot of brands. Then I bought TIGI bed head shampoo and conditioner it’s supposed to be the worst shampoo according to the ingredients full of silicone and fragrance and my hair is gorgeous😅. I only have to wash it once a week and it’s very silky and heavy, my ponytail is 1/3 thicker now. I don’t have any idea how and I do want to point out that I haven’t changed anything other than the shampoo and conditioner I use, but my point is: don’t worry to much about where you buy your shampoo and from what brand it is, just give it a try sometimes you’ll find what works for you and that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the same as other people on the internet. It’s also possible your going through some hormonal changes and your hair isn’t feeling it bcs of that. Don’t put the blame on yourself to much, it’s sometimes just a stage you have to go trough and will eventually clear up. For example: In summer I like to swim a lot and even when protecting and all the tips and advice from the internet it still makes my hair shit after 2 weeks of constant swimming and you know what: idc imma swim and just chop a big part of after. I like to think that the stress relief from swimming or from using a shampoo that smells really good is also a factor that plays a role. Like I said don’t stress to much enjoy life, have fun you will find what works for you eventually. ❤
Everyone’s hair is different I guess. The Kirstin ess clarifying shampoo didn’t do well for me, my hair felt dirty and tangled after the first use. Not to mention it didn’t lather well. I used Pantene for years during college and my ends were wispy and crunchy. The only brand I recommend now is the volume injection from redkin if you have a lot of fine hair. It’s mid priced and my hair looks and feels healthy
My family has the healthiest hair , people will literally stop my mom at the mall to ask her if she has a wig on. My mom is 83. And we never used any expensive products my mom always said it was a waste of time because all those products go down sewer only spend a little more in leave in products.I even use dollar tree shampoo😅
Most dollar tree products contain endocrine disrupters. I do not recommend doing this even if you have good hair genetics you aren’t immune to cancer from bad chemicals.
If you’re going to avoid 1 might as well avoid as many as possible… Avoid: Vehicles -fire retardants, plastics, heavy metals, etc… Sofas- heavy metals, stain repellents, fire retardants Mattresses- same ^ Wall to wall carpeting- heavy metals, micro plastics, fire retardants, chemical sprays Charging cords- lead, fire retardants, phthalates, BPA Hardwood sealants- VOCs and micro plastics Laundry products- dioxins Gas stoves- carbon monoxide Clothing- unless 100% natural non colored non treated fibers. Store bought food even if it has the non GMO and USDA organic seals. Shoes- lead, toxic adhesives (plastics), heavy metals, VOCs Medicine- titanium dioxide SUGAR- body poooooison Small rooms with multiple people-elevated carbon dioxide levels And just about every hobby exposes you to terrible toxins. And then there’s the work place… cleaning chemicals, air refreshers, hand soaps, spray fumes, VOCs, And let’s not forget about all restaurant food. 😬 Of course everything I’ve listed exposes us to more than just what I pointed out but that’s not the point. The point is, we can’t just call out one product when there’s a hundred thousand others that are harming our health right now. Dollar tree body products are the least of our worries when we think about the BIG PICTURE of daily exposure. Call for change on all things!!
The reason I know they’re not all shite, at least not for everyone. I’ve known many women who had absolutely gorgeous, long, healthy, enviable hair, and when I asked what they used- Pantene, Herbal Essences, Tresseme etc.
I personally use japanese haircare and it alot more gentle than any haircare here in american i also like japan philosophy for both skin and hair care gentle ingredients for better results

You’re the only influencer I trust fr!!!!
True, it funny...why all this people are so CONFIDENT claims other lower shampoo are VERY Low quality.I do some research these a village in china called YAO village. U'll be surprised at what they using for their hair. What u see is Pure Thick Black Longest hair u ever seen
i don't even know who to trust at this point, some hair influencers say professional hair care is better for your hair, some say leave in conditioner and oils are not good for your hair. Some say Air drying is bad and some say it's totally natural also washing daily is bad while derms say that's a myth and blah blah blah like I don't know anymore at this point 😅
I get some people are trying to help in the comments but all of this is just repetitive hair care advice, I know what works for my hair, I know what to use and what not to use, all i'm saying is there's so many mixed opinions out there by hair influencers and who really knows what the truth is.
for shampoos and conditioners and leave in products i would say high end products are way better and make ur hair feel so nice and soft. since i used drugstore products my whole life, switching to professional products was a game changer to me and i couldn't go back to using drugstore products!
@@itsfed9324What’s are the professional shampoos and conditioners you are using now?
Abbey has made a video on the difference between High end professional products and drugstore ones. I suggest you to search It up
It really comes down to specific brands and products, and how well they work for your hair. The fact that a brand is “professional” or “high end” doesn’t automatically mean that it’s any good (or will work for your hair), and the fact that another brand is “drugstore” doesn’t mean it’s bad. I’ve had really good drugstore products, and some really crappy high end ones. It’s allll about the individual product.
As far as whether or not you should wash your hair everyday goes…it totally depends on your scalp, how oily it gets, and how well it tolerates being oily. An influencer can’t tell you how often you should wash your hair, because that’s a very individual thing. When I was only washing my hair 2x per week, I ended up with seborrheic dermatitis, major fallout, and other problematic changes in my hair. My dermatologist told me to start washing my hair every other day, and all of my problems cleared up. If you tend to get oily pretty quickly, then washing your hair everyday is totally fine. If your hair stays clean/dry longer, you can wait to wash it until it gets a little bit greasy. If an influencer is trying to give you a hard and fast rule, they don’t really know what they’re talking about, to be honest 🤷🏻♀️
Washing every day isn’t bad for your skin (scalp). It’s bad for your hair. That’s why a dermatologist would say that daily washing is good. For your skin/scalp, it’s fine. For your hair, not so much.
I say that it all depends on your hair. I have straight hair that never gets frizzy or anything…I can wake up and not even brush it and it looks decent. I can use both drugstore and high end hair products successfully, whereas others can’t. We all have different issues and goals that we want to achieve with our hair, therefore, it’s not a one size fits all situation.
Straight hair isn’t a hair type
@@jociir2650 I was describing my hair.
@@jociir2650nobody said there hair type is straight dude
I totally agree with you! It 100% depends on your hair type. I’m still searching for the perfect shampoo and conditioner for me
@@jociir2650as a matter of fact, straight hair is a hair type :)
Thank you! I find it very difficult to put down over $100 on shampoo/conditioner. I just can’t bring myself to do it. So I appreciate a financially conscious recommendation. ❤❤❤
It’s really just marketing. Really nothing special about it!
Packaging, fragrance, etc is a huge part of what you're paying for with professional lines. And mass market products are often slightly more diluted.
For me, the only category i buy high end is deep conditioning masks and bond repair treatment. Any other categories, i feel the drugstore has good options. I could probably go drugstore for hair masks, buy i am pretty obsessed with Briogeo's 😂
That’s how I see it. I prefer medicated shampoo and then a fancy hair mask.
Yep! I'll spend for my leave in conditioner but my normal shampoo is Head and Shoulders bc i have dandruff and it works well for me
I started using not your mothers bonding line and my hair has never been better. I’ve used all the super expensive brands and this is the only thing that has helped my hair at all.
what all do you use from them? what is your favorite/s?!
My go to is the Herbal Essence Rose Hips because it makes my hair incredibly silky and soft. I have stubborn curls/waves and I've used so many other products that just don't work. Including high end salon brands.
And drug store shampoos help you get the most out of high end ones! I've been using the Pantene Volume for almost two months now and I love how easy it lathers up! Then I only have to use a little bit of Morrocanoil shampoo for my second wash 😊
I tried the L’Oréal Repair series and the Hyaluron series, they done nothing but made me half bald. I’m sure they worked wonders for some but not for my scalp. I gave them 5 washes in total within the course of 1 month and each time I wash my hair with these, SHEDDING! So I knew it was the formulation and ingredients that didn’t agree with my scalp!
Abby i have to tell you, I'm a guy and had very wavy healthy hair up until september when i first got a bad haircut and decided that while i wait for it to grow back out i would dye it for fun and lemme tell you i DESTROYED my hair and ended up losing about 70% of it on my crown but with your haircare tips especially the coconut oil one I've been able to grow it back out faster!
I think people need to understand that all hair is different, and as such, all products are different. There is no 'one size' when it comes to hair care. Just like how one drug store conditioner might be bad for your hair, a luxery brand might also be terrible. Its all about products, and sometimes, just the formula is perfect for you.
If you have a product that works for you, no matter how cheap or expensive, its what works for you.
I have *EXTREMELY OILY HAIR* (if I wash i one morning with in 12-24 hours, it’s disgustingly oily again) that Pantene you showed I have been using for a while now and lemme tell you, I’ve gone like 5 *days* without any oil at all. I’m not saying it’ll be like that for everyone but if nothings worked for you, trust me and try it out
I neeed thiiis!!! All of these shampoos talking about adding “shine” to your hair… no thank you I have plenty.
Right! I swear most shampoos don’t even clean my hair good but whatever my hair stylist uses or her technique I can go five days😭. I’m like maybe I don’t just have oily hair and my hair isn’t being cleaned enough from the shampoos. I remember being in middle school and going a week and thought that my hormones changed or something😭.
The best ones I’ve tried is the k18 and the ouai detox but even those I can only make it three days and my scalp is irritating. I know last time my stylist used the it’s a 10 so I’m going to try that and a hard water filter cause my dream is to have hair that light and go that long without my scalp being itchy and heavy feeling.
I wish I could use the Pantene but I get keratin treatments so I can’t use sulfates :(
Tbh, as someone who used drugstore hair products for their whole life, i would say that switching to professional shampoos, conditioners and leave in products was a game changer! once u switch to high end it's difficult to get back to cheap prodcuts because they preform way better and last longer!
What do you use?
@@light-tk3pj You should use products that match your hair type, mine is dry. I'm currently using a set from the brand Morrocanoil that contains a shampoo, a conditioner, and a leave in conditioner. Also it's important to use a hair serum/oil after these steps to maintain frizz, i personally go for the L'Oreal extraordinary oil. Hope this helps😊
@@ErZi-uo7fmThat’s where I’m at right now. I spent like 10 years trying to find a high end brand of shampoo and conditioner that actually worked for me. My hair was never really happy with any of them. Paul Mitchell was probably the best, but still just kind of average. I’m not 100% committed to any drugstore shampoo/conditioner just yet, but so far L’oreal has been making my hair feel the best it has felt in YEARS.
Im the opposite! I’m a cosmetologist who tired expensive haircare for years but the thing that works best for my fine flat hair is from the drugstore 😢😂
@@Sammvoy I also have fine and flat hair….so I would love to know what works for you since I am still struggling to find a shampoo that I like.
Your hair Recs are what’s keeping me alive rn. I’ve always has really thick and curly hair but just got a new job and have been blowing it out for the last couple of months and completely messed up my hair. Trying to cut and heal it but I’m also trying to prevent future damage thank you
I don't know if it is a drug store shampoo but suave curl professional is the best I found for my hair . Ot really works. And the conditioner is so hydrating. The combination made my curls so bouncy and it doesn't frizz even in 80 per humidity.
My favorite is the mielle brand hair treatment and their other products. I have superfine hair that tangels and breaks so easily. The strengthening mask make is so my hair doesn't tangel at all. In fact it is the only mask I've used that lifts oil residue from my scalp enough that I can wait a couple days to shampoo. I always condition and use leave in too but this treatment was a God send.
I've experienced both bad and good at the drugstore.. the kristin Ess products are really good for the price.. I don't like the Pantene but I've never used that one myself and do like not your mothers.. a good dry shampoo too! But I always used the L'Oréal ones in that tube .. not bad but I still think the higher end ones are better.. but then I only wash my hair once a week.. thanks for the advice!
And yet my hair stylist told me to never use Pantene products.
Yah, I do not trust this review at all. Most generic store bought shampoos contain harsh and toxic ingredients. Pantene, dove, etc, garbage products likely containing endocrine disrupting ingredients. Will they wash and do the job, probably, but they may also cause you other unrelated issues. Your skin is the largest organ on your body and absorbs everything that touches it. But, hey, I’m sure some people still believe that’s a conspiracy.
Because they want you to buy their super expensive products?
@@anniebell6846probably but Pantene is literally the worst on the market. The only shampoo that made my healthy soft hair feel like straw and the breakage was insane.
@@anniebell6846 no. I use love beauty and planet
This is used like once a month so it’s not as bad as it seems
I started using Suave 5 years ago and I love it. I use Suave with keratin for color tested and color treated hair.
The thing with hair influencers is they find what works for their hair specifically, but then advertise as if it’s universal. For me high-end products, (and believe me I tried so many,) dry or frizz both my virgin and process hair. BUT! I know that it is specifically because of my genetics on how my hair uniquely is. I now stick with drugstore and a few Japanese brands.
Other than you, I pretty much made it a habit of skipping almost every hair influencer. I appreciate that you speak on practicality considering chemistry and share results from others you have seen, rather than just because it works for you.
I have thick oily hair, and tried the first recommended shampoo here, and gotta admit it is amazing on my end. It left it feeling moisturized and seemed so gentle. I’m kinda addicted to it, and it’s nice smell. 😊
You have oily hair. She recommended the 2nd Pantene Shampoo for that, oily scalp. Is that the one you tried?
I would love to see you review the ingredients of some shampoos that are marketed for equine use. Like Mane n Tail and Cowboy Magic! Mane n Tail is all over drug stores now and I personally love Cowboy Magic!
❤I am so glad I found your video’s! To hear you say the words Obsessed and Hair Science warms my heart! Finally and Thank you 😊🎉
I use Suave’s daily clarifying shampoo once a week along with their smooth performer conditioner and afterward on towel dried hair I use OGX extra strength miracle coconut oil leave in treatment and my hair is the healthiest it has EVER been in my life. Don’t sleep on drugstore products. They are a fraction of the price and perform 20x better than any salon or high end hair product you can buy!
I love Aussie moist. It makes my hair feel AMAZING and my hair feels, looks sooo healthy.
I don’t have the money for expensive shampoo , I already shop for groceries at the dollar store so thank you for being so honest
That Pantene shampoo is amazing! My hair always looks nice when it use it - nicer than when I use the expensive stuff!
What conditioner do you use with it please?
Shampoo is the easy part. Find me great conditioner for bleached hair (that you can easily comb through while wet) at the drugstore and you’ve found a unicorn.
I have long curly bleached hair and use Keratin hair mask by Kallos cosmetics is 5€ for a big ass tube and i find it very good especially for combing with it in (my hair tangles terribly). It also helps with the frizzines and dryness bleach gives
You could probably benefit from the ORS Orange conditioner. It smells lovely and it's formulated for chemically treated hair.
@@vixen_0072yes i love that one
I use drugstore hair masks for conditioning my bleached hair. Of course never near the scalp/roots. My hair dresser was surprised how healthy my hair is despite it being bleached and me using a flat iron every day. It’s definitely because of the hair mask for conditioner hack. Before I started doing this my hair would fall out if I bleached it
Not all hair can b combed thru wet, no matter the conditioner 🖐️
Mine for instance, too fine
I LOVE kristen ess. When i was 10 I started noticing acne around my forehead and hairline. I googled what it could mean. Found out my cheap $1 shampoo + conditioner may be the problem. I decided to use Kristen ess. For no reason. And To this day. It has treated my skin, and hair sooo well. I love it.
I get that acne around my hairline from products too😭. It’s so hard to avoid anything that has any oils or lipids in it
Not Your Mothers, is a trusted brand, for me. Will check out that clarifying shampoo. I do a deep conditioner after every shampoo. Once a month I use a clarifying product. My curls need heavier conditioner and a monthly clarify.
I color my hair and use the L’Oréal EverPure based on my stylist’s recommendation. As I recall, it doesn’t contain sulfates which were impacting the color between visits.
As a Blk Woman with natural hair, I can attest to the quality of Kristen Ess products. The scalp purifying micellar shampoo is amazing. I first got it for my lil sis who has the type of flakes you can peel off in pretty large sheets. I parted her hair, applied it to the scalp, used the det.brush to massage it in, rwd repeat a few times, running the lather through the length of her hair on the last one. It do wonders for her scalp, but she also had a lot of buildup that made her hair look dull, and her curls look course n tight - she's a kinda 3c/4a mix. It worked wonders there too. It got rid of the buildup without stripping her hair, and her curls came back to life.
I've used drug store shampoo for a very long time and this year I switched to a high end product and the difference is significant, not all high end products are better but some really are, and I also realized that I don't need to use as much peoduct with this shampoo and my hair stays clean longer so the price difference is minimal
@@luv1nartfrem the drug store I've used mostly pantene, fructis and also Garnier....now I use System professional ( ketatin protect shampoo), I do a Fist wash with a Little amount of product to remove the oils, dirt etc... then a second wash with a Little bit more product I message It till It foams and I leave It on for 5-7 minutes and then I wash really well
@@luv1nart I wash my hair 2 times a week...the System Professional Is about 20 to 30 € depending on the website...the drug store ones were about 2-3 €... I'm in Europe so I don't know how much they are in $
@@luv1nart obviously It depends on the issues that you have if this One it's the right product...probably from this brand there are different type of shampoo depending on the concern
Luxury hair products are NOT sold in drug stores. When you see Paul Mitchell at Walgreen it’s another company that has licensed the name but the formulas ARE DIFFERENT. If you buy a bottle at a licensed salon the bottle SAYS it’s authentic and the real deal bc the real deal is ONLY found in salons. Same for many other brands, Paul Mitchell is just a well know example. Even the bottle and wording on them is different.
Every expensive shampoo I've used, including every salon I've been too, I'm allergic to. Its a mild allergy, just itchy scalp and bumps that go away if I avoid the allergen. I just find it very amusing when people try to push the expensive brands that give me the same effect as the dollar store brands. Dove, Pantene, Loreal, and Head and Shoulders have always been safe ❤
John Frieda volume is divine! I absolutely love it and easily refuse to use anything else.
My fave shampoo is VO5 and costs me a whopping $.85 at Walmart. My hair feels soft and silky and I get tons of compliments….PLUS there are SOOOO many yummy scents that are amazing!!
V05 is bad
@@chloeanderson2658what about it is bad
So far Head and Shoulders in sandalwood has been working for me. I like the spicier scents rather than flowery scents.
For many years I used one specific drug store shampoo and my hair was amazing. As in no damage, weightless (which was odd because I have so much hair), soft, silky, smooth, shiny etc etc. I had at least 5 solid days of amazing hair with this shampoo/conditioner. Then as the pandemic came along they stopped carrying it in stores. And videos like these started coming along telling me I needed to buy more expensive “top notch” shampoos/conditioners. So I tried. Honestly, what a monumental waste of my time and money. My hair was frumpy, oily way too quick, frizzy, lacking any type of luster or natural volume, my scalp was smelly and the lost goes on.
People need to just use what makes their hair amazing and keeps it healthy. Also, LOVE the not your mothers. That’s a great second best!
I just bought a bottle of kristen ness a few days ago and it made my hair literally squeaky clean. Im talking my hair squeaked when i rubbed my hands over it after rinsing the suds off in the shower. I've also noticed my scalp doesnt feel like it has sebum build up since a washing it a few days ago. Ive only used it once, but am already noticing a difference.
I use Selsun blue to clarify, then Kirsten ess purple shampoo and conditioner followed by not your mothers purple mask. I also use Monday moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
THE LOREAL BOND REPAIR SHAMPOO SHE SHOWED HAS LITERALLY CHANGED MY HAIR OVERNIGHT. I ALSO USE THE MATCHING CONDITIONER. I HEAT STYLE MY HAIR AFTER AND IT FEELS LIKE SILK. I USE ITS A 10 LEAVE IN HEAT PROTECTANT MIXED WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT OIL THEN BRUSH MY HAIR ABD BLOWDRY. THEN WHEN MY HAIR IS DRY I USE LOREAL SLEEK IT HEAT PROTECTANT ON MY DRY HAIR ENDS AND COMB IT THROUGH. AT THIS POINT MY HAIR FEELS SILKY BUT I DO RUN A STRAIGHTENER OVER THE FRIZZY PIECES WITH THE TEMP AT 300. WHEN ITS DONE ITS LITERALLY LIKE SILK 🤯 ON THE ENDS I ADD MORE OIL AND USE A PEA SIZE OF SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT SMOOTHING CREAM AS WELL. MY HAIR SMELLS SO GOOD AND HAS NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!
The best shampoo and conditioner I have ever used is the Purology Hydrate shampoo and conditioner. It is amazing.
I use hask and it makes my hair feel super healthy
Abbey! I purchased the Pantene volume and body shampoo. Holy cow this shampoo makes my hair so much softer and shinier
Love the Kristin Ess brand and it smells amazing thanks Abby for that recommendation
I am not studying hair care science but I do love the pure zero stregthening shampoo. You can get it at target and I also love the kristin ness purple shampoo and conditioner when i was silver blond. The shampoo never made my hair dry. And it was legitimately the only purple shampoo and conditioner that I noticed immediate results after using it.
Aveeno shampoos are really good too
I tried the apple cider vinegar because I heard so many great things about it. Sadly, it did not work for me. My hair would look oily on the same day I washed it with that shampoo.
I used to swear by the Pantene volume shampoo..and then I got sucked into the whole “drugstore is not good for you” couple years later and a lot of money wasted…I still adore the Pantene and switch it up every now and then but it’s a fantastic product.
Omggggg your hair is literal perfection
Suave clarifying shampoo👌💕 use after heavy styling and/or a few times a year. Focusing mainly on scalp.
I was just talking to my mom about you yesterday saying you know all things hair and you’re the only hair care influencer I trust but I hadn’t seen your videos in ages! I started seeing them again today :D not sure if that’s my phone listening to me or just me manifesting but I’ll take it!
When should I used a clarifying shampoo vs non-clarifying shampoos?
Can you create a video on that?
Like use clarifying once a week or two weeks?
And use the non-clarifying every day?
I use Neutrogena grapefruit shampoo as a clarifying shampoo and, at one time, apple cider vinegar shampoo. Grapefruit was very good. Still use it occasionally
Can you recommend other drugstore shampoo? I couldn’t find the Loreal Ever Pure in my country. I’m from Europe and Olaplex and Kerastase are just too expensive for my budget 😅
L’Oréal has the Elvive version of the bonding line which I love, the Ever Pure line is US only I’m afraid!
Hairitage saved my hair. My hair changed after chemo. Now its so much better with this line. Loreal is good too
I don’t know what it is but Pantine moisture renewal does amazing with my hair, like better than some salon brand i’ve used. I think I just found a lucky match. I still use my redkin clarifying shampoo every few washes with a hair mask… but that’s more to pamper myself of to deal with product buildup when I use hairspray
Omg i love you for this
Pureology and Redken have the best shampoo/conditioner lines. I ran out of conditioner one day so I bought from the store my hair was a mess. Never in my life did I think paying over $20 for a bottle of shampoo would be worth it, but I was wrong. It's so much better for your hair to invest in high-end hair products. Quality over quantity. They both make products for all hair types. You also need very little compared to store bought. Invest in high-end hair products. If you drink coffee everyday from starbucks, take that money you spend in a week and buy good shampoo/ conditioner instead.
In my country there is hardly any beauty shops it’s just pharmacy’s (drugstore) one of my fav brands are Pantene
All modern shampoos are formulated pretty much the same way: A primary surfactant, a secondary surfactant or foam builder, a pH adjuster, conditioners, colorants, preservatives.
I have curly, coloured hair and almost all of the products I use are from the drugstore or Walmart. The only thing that isn’t is the colour-depositing shampoo my hairdresser suggested to keep my blue looking its best
Pantene volume shampoo/conditioner and dove dermacare antidandruff shampoo fixed my oily scalp. The money I saved I used it to buy the Oribe hair cream and ny hair looks, feels soft shiny and healthy
I hate how some influencers just be sheeting on Suave, even though that company is taking the steps to improve their brand. Just recently they took the step of taking their Not Tested on Animals to the next level and even pulled their brand out of nations which forces testing on animals laws, so the Suave stuff you'll see in animal testing nations are just older bottles that were overstoked , while the newer bottles sold here in the US are the new improved policy brand that no longer abuses animals and they are taking steps to provide fair wages for their workers. I love that for them, because Suave isn't an expensive brand and it is a good product to use ... their bigger shampoo and conditioner are under $2. I just feel that inexpensive overcounter products get sheeted on too much, so thank you lady for standing up for us poorer folks who can't buy the big name brand expensive goop. Bless you.
I feel for animals. Animal cruelty is wrong. More people should stand up against it, so thank you for posting this. Suave never did my hair wrong when I had to budget. I had a boyfriend that used it everyday. His hair was very nice.
I noticed that when I was young I could do with most drugstore shampoos but now that Im old and post menopausal, my hair is new to me have to be very patient and rediscover it and treat it accordingly. And have to buy high end hair care. But not any hair care , have to try em, and it was a frustrating thing. But now Im seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and my hair its getting healthier. But it was no drugstore hair care system.
I used to buy high end. I decided to look at my expenses and first cut was anything high end. Skincare is the exception. I think my hair looks better now with drugstore shampoo.
Your recommendations have made significant improvements to my hair that even others have noticed. ❤ could you please recommend a clarifying shampoo for dandruff caused by seborrheic dermatitis?
I follow blowout professor and his advice and routine and after trying so many products his routine and products has worked best for me. And im not going back because my hair looks and feels amazing.
And he does not recommend drugstore shampoos at all. And i kinda agree because i grew up using many different drugstore shampoos and nothing was good tbh made my scalp oily and ends dry which is opposite of what i want. I haven't tried the specfic ones she's mentioned but i probably wont be going back unless i have to.
Can you please do a video on purple/ silver shampoos that actually work
the kristen ess is so good
I have sensitive skin so I use whatever doesn't give me a rash. That tends to be hair products from health food stores, since both professional and drugstore hair products tend to give me a rash. So I guess I'm saying that yeah, they're probably the same since I can't use either of them lol.
Have you found the ingredient you react to? For me it took a few months but it was phenoxyethanol
I love the sassy “nooo they’re not” 😂😂😂😂
Just to clarify (haircare joke) nat is referring to uk high street. The majority of the products named other than the pantene one are not available on the high street in the uk or europe.
I have yet to have a good experience with high end shampoos. Color safe ones stripped my hair so bad. I had to chop my hair and couldn't have colored hair until i finished it. Honestly, my hair looks and feels great with my drugstore products
It's just that most drugstore ones contain SLS and idc if it's marketed as "clarifying" if I want it to be that "clarifying" I might as well use dish soap
Do you have a video for children's recommendations? Specifically for dry scalp?
I literally only use one bottle for everyday use, and it's shampoo, i dont use conditioner on a daily basis bc i already have oily hair. My favorite shampoo is the hair technology line from Avon, i use a deep conditioner only once a week in winter and only in winter bc my hair and skin dries out ALOT in winter. It works for me I rarely style my hair and when I do i tend to not like it anyway, I prefer my natural hair much more bc i have a soft curl. In conclusion what I want to say is that everyone is different, different products will work for you and different routines will work for you. So don't listen to influencers so intently just find what works for you.
Thank you so much for debunking this!!
Kristen Ess is hands down my most favourite shampoo ive everr tried. I'm so upset the store near me stopped selling it. But wow, I didn't even realise it was drugstore☺️ it's that good! I only have a tiny bit left, so i save it for special occasions like my birthday & Christmas! 🤏🏼😂
Hair salons people always talk about how much the salon products are better ingredients and will even last longer. Can you please weigh in on why? Thank you for reading this!
As usual, it depends on your hair & what you need.
Some ppl hate Pantene. It is the only 1 that doesn't make my hair feel like hay. I have tried one brand from my Fab Fit Fun box but it's way more expensive so I use it weekly.
My 13yr old is looking for her fav bc hormones.
It will depend on her hair type and what works.
It's sad ppl say all of something is trash. It simply isn't true.
I heard Pantene leaves a coating on hair. It sure did make my hair completely flat.
I use dermaveen shampoo and conditioner and a drugstore hair mask. I like the Garnier/ maui/ loreal whatever is on special. My scalp is fairly sensitive so using drugstore or high end shampoo/conditioners makes my scalp itchy if I use them long term.
Just use whatever you think is best for you. I personally don't really see much difference with high end shampoos or conditioner's. It's an about the hair mask!!
Will clarifying shampoos strip my color? I want to get rid of build up but I just got my hair done and don’t want to ruin it. Like should I just wait until my color naturally fades a bit before I use a clarifying shampoo.
Yes it will
Do you have any recommendations for curly and coily hair? I also like sulfate-free products. Thanks!
I exclusively use Korean and Japanese hair salon hair care products. Much more gentle and nourishing. Especially since I have psoriasis and I don't get inflammed and itchy scalp as much with those
Can you please recommend brands from each category and what type of hair you have please? I would love to try this.
Love your videos!
I use Kristin Ess and I love it!!!
I love the pink lordal its amazing and I like it better than my pureology shampoo and conditioner!!!! Thats about a 20$ difference in 1 bottle
I love all Kristen Esse products!!!
I don’t know why but I’ve tried those gentle shampoos for 2/3 years and it worked but my hair wasn’t very amazing. I got kinda scared to use fragrance and silicones that are in a lot of shampoos bcs I have sensitieve skin and struggle with acne. It left my hair very plain and dry no matter how much conditioner I would use, it didn’t lather very nice with a lot of brands.
Then I bought TIGI bed head shampoo and conditioner it’s supposed to be the worst shampoo according to the ingredients full of silicone and fragrance and my hair is gorgeous😅. I only have to wash it once a week and it’s very silky and heavy, my ponytail is 1/3 thicker now.
I don’t have any idea how and I do want to point out that I haven’t changed anything other than the shampoo and conditioner I use, but my point is: don’t worry to much about where you buy your shampoo and from what brand it is, just give it a try sometimes you’ll find what works for you and that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the same as other people on the internet. It’s also possible your going through some hormonal changes and your hair isn’t feeling it bcs of that. Don’t put the blame on yourself to much, it’s sometimes just a stage you have to go trough and will eventually clear up. For example: In summer I like to swim a lot and even when protecting and all the tips and advice from the internet it still makes my hair shit after 2 weeks of constant swimming and you know what: idc imma swim and just chop a big part of after. I like to think that the stress relief from swimming or from using a shampoo that smells really good is also a factor that plays a role.
Like I said don’t stress to much enjoy life, have fun you will find what works for you eventually. ❤
What would you recommend for fragrance free hair care? I break out in a rash if there is fragrance
Everyone’s hair is different I guess. The Kirstin ess clarifying shampoo didn’t do well for me, my hair felt dirty and tangled after the first use. Not to mention it didn’t lather well. I used Pantene for years during college and my ends were wispy and crunchy. The only brand I recommend now is the volume injection from redkin if you have a lot of fine hair. It’s mid priced and my hair looks and feels healthy
What do you think about Hask products? From target
Cheaper at walmart
What do you think about the Garnier blends, honey and royal jelly stuff? It makes my hair feel amazing.
My family has the healthiest hair , people will literally stop my mom at the mall to ask her if she has a wig on. My mom is 83. And we never used any expensive products my mom always said it was a waste of time because all those products go down sewer only spend a little more in leave in products.I even use dollar tree shampoo😅
Most dollar tree products contain endocrine disrupters. I do not recommend doing this even if you have good hair genetics you aren’t immune to cancer from bad chemicals.
If you’re going to avoid 1 might as well avoid as many as possible…
Avoid:
Vehicles -fire retardants, plastics, heavy metals, etc…
Sofas- heavy metals, stain repellents, fire retardants
Mattresses- same ^
Wall to wall carpeting- heavy metals, micro plastics, fire retardants, chemical sprays
Charging cords- lead, fire retardants, phthalates, BPA
Hardwood sealants- VOCs and micro plastics
Laundry products- dioxins
Gas stoves- carbon monoxide
Clothing- unless 100% natural non colored non treated fibers.
Store bought food even if it has the non GMO and USDA organic seals.
Shoes- lead, toxic adhesives (plastics), heavy metals, VOCs
Medicine- titanium dioxide
SUGAR- body poooooison
Small rooms with multiple people-elevated carbon dioxide levels
And just about every hobby exposes you to terrible toxins. And then there’s the work place… cleaning chemicals, air refreshers, hand soaps, spray fumes, VOCs,
And let’s not forget about all restaurant food. 😬
Of course everything I’ve listed exposes us to more than just what I pointed out but that’s not the point. The point is, we can’t just call out one product when there’s a hundred thousand others that are harming our health right now. Dollar tree body products are the least of our worries when we think about the BIG PICTURE of daily exposure. Call for change on all things!!
Just use vinegar rinse for bonding! You don't jeed expensive crap to do thid. Vinegar is acetic acid whih is exactly what's in bonding products.
The reason I know they’re not all shite, at least not for everyone. I’ve known many women who had absolutely gorgeous, long, healthy, enviable hair, and when I asked what they used- Pantene, Herbal Essences, Tresseme etc.
Chemicals are absorbed.... How many in yours??
How do you feel about tresemme??? Shampoo and conditioner???
