READ THIS BEFORE BUYING A HAIR PRODUCT

All that glitters isn’t gold, and an expensive or flashy hair product doesn’t always mean it’s effective or what your hair needs. 

There are varieties of hair products in the market. It might be a hassle trying to figure out which is best for you. Some may claim to take care of your hair needs and some may lack the ingredients you need for your hair, so you have to be extra cautious when buying these products so you don’t end up wasting money. 

There are key things to look out for and to take note of before buying a hair product and they are as follows

  1. Hair care routine

Your hair care routine greatly influences the hair product you buy. If you have an oily scalp, you might want to go for a cleansing shampoo that can get rid of the dirt and oils without leaving your scalp dry at the same time. For people with natural hair, constantly moisturizing and conditioning your hair is compulsory, this means you’ll be needing products that moisturize, as well as leave-in conditioners and deep conditioners.

  1. Ingredients

Before adding any hair product to your cart, never forget to go through the ingredient list. Some products contain harmful ingredients like sulfates, parabens, silicone, that could damage your hair when used. It is best to go for products that are free of these toxins.

  1. Natural oils

Go for products that have natural oils( coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil) in them. They are more effective and safe for use. Mineral oils on the other hand are greasy and could cause scalp buildup and irritation and may result in hair breakage when used frequently.

  1. Do some research 

Whether a hair product caught your eye or was recommended to you, it is okay to do some research to find out if the product is what your hair really needs and if it won’t damage your hair. Also, research could help you know when and how to use such products.

  1. Effect may vary

It should be noted that due to the differences in hair texture or type, products could work differently for people. A product could be effective for someone with a particular hair texture and could be otherwise for another hair texture. Once a hair product is not working for you, but rather causing more damage, it should be dumped and replaced with better options for your hair instead of repurchasing. 

  1. Misleading labels 

Some products may mislead you with the instructions on their labels. Some shampoo products’ label may indicate it’s safe for everyday use. It is not advisable to shampoo your hair everyday. If the ingredients of such a product are fine, you can go ahead with purchasing it, but remember to ignore such instructions.

Some products may promise unrealistic things like growing your hair quickly, it is better to ignore products like this, they could turn out to be a mere puff and a waste of money.

Conclusion 

With adequate knowledge of things to look out for before purchasing hair products, you will contribute greatly to your hair’s health and find it easier to go for products your hair specifically needs.
