Is it Really Money Down the Drain?
Have you tried different shampoos lately? If you haven’t you have missed out on all the benefits that salon products like Paul Mitchell’s shampoos has to offer. I used to use inexpensive shampoo. The more expensive price is often a detour ant, but the improved ingredients, improved quality, and the satisfaction of knowing your hair not only looks healthy, but is healthy are all reasons why I prefer more expensive shampoos or the more economically friendly brands.
Paul Mitchell and Suave differ greatly in cost. Most grocery stores carry products like Suave; which can be purchased for around a dollar a bottle. Paul Mitchell products on the other hand are carried strictly in hair salons and also are much more expensive. Paul Mitchell products tend to be around twenty to thirty dollars a bottle. This is one of the very few disadvantages of Paul Mitchell shampoo products.
With the hefty price tag, Paul Mitchell also comes with much more quality than Suave. Suave is a very mild, concentrated formula that does not give the shine and softness that Paul Mitchell does. Paul Mitchell has different formulas for different types of hair. This allows you to have a customized shampoo that your hair will receive many benefits from. Once I made the switch from Suave to Paul Mitchell products I noticed a big difference in the weight and texture of my hair. Styling my hair became a breeze because it no longer required as much product to keep my hair in place for the entire day. Paul Mitchell shampoo contains no silicone. Silicone which is often times found in suave products provides a nice shiny appearance, but causes hair to become heavy from all the left over residue, flat, limp and hard to style. Natural extracts are added both Suave and Paul Mitchell. However, Natural Extracts added in Suave are often times over powering with scent, or lack scent all together. Paul Mitchell uses a blend of many different extracts to improve smell and the way your hair feels. These extracts are not as harsh as the ones used in bulk shampoos, like Suave.
One slogan that Paul Mitchell used to use to promote and advertise their product was “Treat your hair like you treat your skin”. Would you ever consider using a watered down substance to clean your body? This advertisement was extremely popular and led the way to a movement from cheaper products to salon grade products. When a consumer reads the back of a Suave shampoo bottle they will see that the product has no guarantee that your hair will end up healthier, shinier, or full with volume. Paul Mitchell fully backs their products, and if you do not see visible results within ten days they will fully refund your money.
Salon products, like Paul Mitchell’s shampoo may be more expensive, but is well worth the hefty price tag. Added benefits such as better ingredients, better quality and personal satisfaction are all seen in the more expensive product. Not only are you getting a great product, but you are getting reassurance you will see visible results, or your money back. Cheaper products may be more economically friendly for the wallet; but it goes to show you, you get what you pay for.
