Expensive vs. In-Expensive Hair Care Products

Everyone should have a schedule in the back of their minds for the best time to use hair products. You need to think about what kind of products you have purchased and plan to purchase.

The health of your hair depends on the effectiveness of the products you use. For example, a cheaper product may leave your hair smelling a bit fresher a little longer, but struggle to strip your scalp of excess oils.

Conversely, an expensive product cleans your hair thoroughly and gives your hair a fuller appearance. Pay attention to the ingredients in your hair care products as well.

Here’s why it’s worth it to spend a little more on your hair.

Expensive Products Contain Better Ingredients

Generally, the most expensive product you buy contains better ingredients. Many hair care companies market their brand of products as being safe and useful. Although, sometimes, the only way to tell a product’s usefulness is to use it.

In-expensive products contain harmful silicones. These silicones rob your hair of its shiny appearance. Furthermore, silicone strips your hair of its natural oils derived from your scalp. And the last thing you want is a dry scalp. Dry scalp itself can be managed properly with certain ingredients such as Aloe Vera, honey, etc. Aloe Vera and other humectants aren’t always available in cheaper products.

In-expensive products also lack many of the vitamins and minerals found in more expensive options. Vitamins A, B, C, D, and E have a purpose in your body. Vitamin A, specifically, strengthens your hair and the follicles, preventing breakage and your scalp from drying out. Vitamin B is tasked with supporting vital cells in your hair and even your body. Vitamin C is great for growing healthy hair and removing damaged hair. A deficiency in this vitamin means dry scalp and coarse strands. Vitamin D is an important vitamin also, providing your follicles with nutrients for new hairs. Finally, vitamin e protects your lipid layer. Lipids are either healthy or unhealthy, revealing this in the appearance of your hair.

Sure, some in-expensive products contain useful ingredients. Usually, though, that isn’t the case. If you use a shampoo or condition your hair, check the label on each bottle. If you notice silicon-based ingredients, like dimethicone, stay far away.

In-Expensive Products Hurt Your Scalp

The only thing more important than your hair is your scalp. Since your follicles poke through your head, it is your mission to protect your scalp at all costs.

You might suffer from conditions like dry scalp, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis. Fortunately, ingredients in high-quality products can alleviate these issues. Unfortunately, only some humectants, oils, and minerals are available to you when you purchase in-expensive hair care products.

Remember, humectants are incredibly important. They hydrate, smooth, and moisturize your scalp. And your scalp benefits from the addition of certain oils. Essential oils strengthen existing hair and help your scalp grow thicker, healthier hair in its place. Ingredients like sandalwood, rose, lavender and bergamot all have their uses. Other oils, such as eucalyptus, can even relax you when anxiety takes over. Tea tree is an extremely common ingredient found in hair and skincare products. The tea tree is located in Australia and has many uses. In addition to its usefulness in hair, tea tree oil can be used to make nutmeg tea for drinking. Also, tea tree oil can heal skin conditions.

All-in-all, the products you put in your body have a direct result on your health. So, why spend less when you know the effects? Treat your body well, and your hair will thank you. The disadvantages of using in-expensive hair care products are not worth the risk of decreasing the health of your hair long-term. Use products that strengthen, moisturize, and protect your hair and scalp.
