It can be hard to get good, reliable and genuine advice for your hair and unfortunately mainstream media advertising can be the biggest culprip for leading you astray. My pet hate about this type of adverstising is the non-professional products that appear in hair magazines because as we all know, advertisers wouldn’t lie to us and if it appears in a hair magazine it must be good. Right? Not necessarily.

Many of these products will tell you what they will do for your hair, but not to your hair. Like coat it in a plastic like/waxy  film which will stop colour services from working properly, if at all. These are ones that are found in shopping aisles and chemists (drugstores for my overseas readers). These products are advertised in magazines next to a selection of hiarstyles submitted by professional hairdressers using professional products, leading readers to think they can get the same results with non-professional products. Can you imagine your Hairdresser whipping out a packet mix colour of Brand X that he picked up from Coles on his way to work to do your hair with? If you can it’s a good thing you’re reading this.

Professional products don’t use nearly as much mainstream media advertising choosing instead to spend their money on research and development and relying on Hairdressers to educate their clients on their hair care needs. While some Hairdressers will try to sell you anything and everything to try and make a buck, most of us recommend products specific for your hair to improve it’s quality which in turn makes it easier for us and you to maintain and “do”.

That said, not all non-professional products fall into this category and not all professional products are as fabulous as they claim. The ebst you can do is find a trustworthy Hairdresser, ask their advice and see and feel how your hair feels and looks after you use your products.
