Why Expensive Shampoo is a Waste of Money?

Do rich people you know always have better hair than people with less money?  No.  But they probably use higher-priced shampoos.
On websites with in-depth reviews of haircare products, such as makeupalley.com, you will find that shampoos costing get the exact same reviews as shampoos costing .  Ojon, a very high-end brand of shampoo, consistently rates 3/5, whereas Suave Professionals, an extremely cheap shampoo, usually gets into the 4-5/5 category and is said to be comprable to Redken and Aveda.
Truth be told, sometimes you do need expensive haircare products.  If your hair is severely damaged, you will need a good protein treatment.  Redken anti-snap or deep fuel, or Joico K Pak Reconstructor are good bets for that.  But if your hair is just mildly dry, somewhat oily, or wavy, you could easily just buy yourself a four dollar bottle of Garnier and be done with it.

Sulfate-free shampoos, which protect hair color (but are not necessarily gentler on our hair) are even available cheap now as well.  Stay away from the Organix line, as they’ve been shown to be particularly disappointing.  However, L’Oreal Everstrong and other drugstore sulfate-free lines are great for you if you’re particularly zealous about banning sulfates.
The main reason that you don’t need expensive shampoos is that most of the ingredients found in expensive shampoos are also found in higher-quality cheap shampoos, like Suave Professionals.
