“I learned a lot about hairspray from your video. What about shampoo? Are the bargain brands OK, like White Rain or Suave?” ~Joyce B.
This is an excellent question! There are two things to look for when picking a shampoo.
1. What types of ingredients are used is in the product.
2. Which ingredients are listed as the top 3-4 ingredients?
Most bargain brand products are not using high quality grade ingredients because they are expensive and they wouldn’t be able to sell their products for a “bargain”. You want to look for a shampoo that contains USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade ingredients. These types of ingredients are more expensive than normal ingredients because they must meet standards for strength, quality and purity. However, this also means that the ingredients are much higher in quality which allows them to deliver the best possible results for your hair. Remember, you ultimately get what you pay for.
Next, most bargain brands list water as the first ingredient which means that the product is primarily water versus cleanser. My Beautiful Hair Moisturizing Shampoo has the cleansing agent listed as the 1st ingredient. This means that the majority of the product is made to cleanse and moisturize your hair. By having the cleansing ingredient listed as the first ingredient means that you can use less product and still get the best results. This ultimately allows you to save money. Versus using a product that lists water as the first ingredient which you will need to use more of to get even close to similar results.

Remember…Beauty Begins Within
Do you ever feel like you are using endless amount of shampoo, conditioner or other hair products? You are spending a fortune on buying products only to feel like you go through them quicker and quicker.
Do you ever feel like your hair system or extensions are coming lose between services? There are a few reasons why this may happen including: changes in weather, changes in lifestyle or activity level, or hair growing faster than normal.
No two faces are the same, each and everyone of us has a unique beauty that should be framed with a gorgeous style! What style best brings out YOUR beauty? That depends on the shape of your face. Have you figured out what kind of shape your face is? Well, this might be a good idea to know and understand because it can help your appearance.

Use this as a basis to explore further styling options.

Myth – The Beautiful Hair Products can last several years.
This past weekend I had the great pleasure of spending time with my first granddaughter who is turning one! As I was playing with her she placed her hand in mine and I recognized how soft her baby skin was compared to mine.
Have you ever heard the story of the mountain climber who slips and falls off the edge of the mountain and is hanging on for dear life with all his strength and effort, and when finally he is exhausted and unable to save himself begins to cry for help? Then a Majestic Voice calls out; “I am God and I will save you just let go and Trust Me I will not let you fall.” A moment of silence comes from the man hanging for dear life, then he cries out; “Is there anyone else up there?”
