Should I buy salon products or store bought shampoo and conditioner?

A hairdresser told me store bought products aren't good for your hair and I should only use Salon products. She suggested buying them on ebay so I don't think she was trying to sell me something but I'm not sure. Do professionals really never use store bought products?Should I buy salon products or store bought shampoo and conditioner?
wash your hair with water shampoos do nothing but remove essentil oils from your hair!Should I buy salon products or store bought shampoo and conditioner?
i know they do bc my friends mom is a hair dresser, they just try to make more money for the saloon so i would buy store ones Good Luck!
As a professional I can honestly say I would never use store bought products. It is not that they are any good, it is just that you have to use so very much of them to equal the small dab of professional. The main difference between the two types of products is water. Store products have at least 75% more water in them than salon products. The next biggest difference is in the preservatives. A salon product is only good for 2 years (at best and only under the right conditions). I think a store product will last for decades. If your hair is healthy, never gets abused, then by all means use a store product. If your hair is damaged, color treated, chemically treated, or worse, use a salon product. It will save you money and preserve your hair.





Good luck.
Honestly there isn't that much of a difference. Compare ingredients on the back and just keep trying different store brand products until you find one that works really well for YOU.





I've had the best of luck with the Aussie brand shampoos, especially the ';Roots And Tips'; for people that need extra cleaning at the roots but conditioning at the tips.


Never had ANY luck with the ultra cheapies, like Mane N Tail, Suave, VO5. But I do like the Aussie stuff.
Salon products are usually to strong for your hair.





The reason why more and more shampoos are released for ';dry or damaged hair'; is because they wanna target customers like you.





So why go for something else when you have great alternatives all around you?





Hope you have a good hair day. =D
My Aunt is a hairstylist and she only buys salon products, I do suggest getting salon products just because the quality is a lot better then those bought in supermarkets, wal*mart etc. Your hair stays stronger and shiny-errr! And their is no residue left in your hair.
They lie.





Where do you think the ';salon products'; are made??





Yes, she's trying to make her sales, even if she suggested Ebay.





Would you rather just buy it THERE, or go online, place a bid, hope you win, pay for shipping, and WAIT for it to arrive?





***** EDIT ADD IN *****





I see the above answers are NO HELP at all...





Here, let me ask you, what kind of hair do you have? What kind of treatments do you have done? (Perms, dyes, curls, natural...) Also, what do YOU like to do to your hair? Are you a wash-and-go kind of person? Or 30 minutes to style kinda person?





You can email, or post it here, I'll answer either way.





:o)
You got to be kidding,I used store bought and salon products and ALL my hair fell out... There both good ???
i like both


my faves- salon(biolage matrix and nexus)


- store(heand and shoulders





i would mix 3/4 matrix wit 1/4 head and shoulders it leaves ure hair feeling great and smells great too!
store boughten products leave a waxy build up on the hair and is very hard to remove. i tell my clients that the shampoo and cond is the most important product used on your hair. me personally i would not buy professional product on eBay. and no i never even walk down the isle of products at a store.
