Quick Tip

*Expensive vs Cheap

At first glance at this category, you might expect that the expensive shampoo would give you the best value for your money. This is not necessarily so. A lot of the cost has to do with the company name and the packaging. Do you want to pay for that? I certainly don't. What you need to do is check out the ingredients. That is what is important. If you want great looking hair, look for a product that contains cinnamates or PABA. Sun damage to your hair is one of the quickest ways to ruin a good style.

*I Think My Hair is Dry

What happens when your hair suddenly changes from dry to oily? Are you imagining things? Actually, this is quite common. During your menstrual cycle, your hair could change. Be ready with a shampoo formulated for oily tresses and put your dry hair shampoo away, until your hair returns to that state.

*Alcohol Free

Be sure that you are purchasing hair care products that are alcohol free. Not only does alcohol dry out your hair, it can contribute to dandruff.
