Ask Jeffrey: Are Bargain Brands OK?

JP_SulfateScribbleQuestion_9_10_13“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.

Check out my post on How NOT to Waste Product for an additional tip on the biggest culprit of wasted shampoo.

I hope this helps. Keep your questions coming and keep an eye out for our step-by-step Maintenance Video and Free Maintenance Package giveaway coming out later this month!

Avoiding Puffy Eyes

“Jeffrey, when I wake up in the morning after I’ve done everything for the family, I get up and my eyes are all swollen. How do I get rid of my swollen eyes” – Noel K. 

That is a great question! You could invest in an eye gel mask or simply purchase a bag of frozen peas or corn. Place the bag on the top of your eyes, lay back and relax for a few minutes! By cooling those eyes down the blood supply will return back to the eye area and the swelling will go down!

Ask Jeffery—Longer Eye Lashes


“Jeffrey, how can I make my eye lashes look like those commercials where the eye lashes get bigger, broader and wider?” –Lauren

What a great question! The key is to having fabulous full lashes is to use a clean, makeup free, mascara brush. After applying a layer of good mascara—while the mascara is still wet—take the clean wand and extend the mascara even further! Also remember to wash your mascara off before bed so they look beautiful each morning!

Thank you for sending in your questions and continue to post them below or on our Facebook page!

Ask Jeffrey – Using The Protein Treatment


“Jeffrey, do I need to use the Protein Treatment every time that I shampoo my hair?” – Julie B.

What a great question! And the answer is….absolutely Yes!  If you shampoo your hair without treating it as well you are leaving your hair more susceptible to damage than it was prior to washing! In this video I explain the details behind the protein treatment and the danger your hair is exposed to if you do not use it every time that you shampoo your hair!

Thank you for the fabulous question Julie, please ask more!

This Summer…Breathe Easy

Untitled

“Jeffrey, during the summer months, with all the additional environmental irritants around, how do I breathe more clearly?” – Judith M.

Judith, thank you for your question! It’s a rough time for those of us, myself included, who are more sensitive to seasonal irritant.  I’d like to share a wonderful health and wellness tip that can help support a healthy respiratory system, and maintain clear breathing*.
