I agree. My grocery store sometimes has salon shampoo on clearance and I really liked the redken and living proof. I used WAY less to get my hair sudsy and the shampoo actually did what it claimed on the bottle.

How long does the conditioner last? As opposed to the shampoo?

Right? It almost doesn't make sense, but they do last forever :)

Me too! I got a Christmas bundle of pureology and I still have half a bottle. Love love love it. Chris, I feel like I’ve learn so much from you and appreciate your channel greatly!

I KNOW Redken makes some great products. However, my dermatologist told me not to use products that are older than six months, as I have to take antibiotics for nodular acne. I don't know if a liter bottle would be too much to purchase, but it seems to be the only way to get a deal.

@@charlesramseur5718 that's a strange recommendation. I don't think shampoo expires like cosmetics?

@@Madamchief Hair products expire. It’s on the back of the bottle on the bottom. It looks like a jar that’s open with like “12 m” on it. So it’ll last 12 months from the date of opening.

Sooo truueeeee😱😱 I just realised that

How did you like the redken shampoo?

were u using the redken soft

As far as I know the thing is that the drugstore ingredients are diluted with water. Ever had a little rest of shampoo in a bottle and to get it out you filled it with water? It still lathers and if you do it with a professional shampoo it still has cleaning abilities but not so much with drugstore Shampoos cuz they have the same ingredients but are this diluted version from the beginnig. Same ingredients (which is also not always true, professional products use higher quality silciones than most drugstore products) which can be washed out more easily and prevent build up and breakage) just way less concentrated. It's like comparing a fiat to a Ferrari. Both are cars. Both can drive. But one has more Power than the other.

The stronger the chemical reaction, the cleaner your hair will be! Pro products aren’t diluted and so will have a stronger chemical reaction and clean your hair fully, drugstore products ar usually diluted with water which is why they’re cheaper, but it also means the chemical reaction isn’t as strong so your hair won’t be as clean meaning you will have to clean more often and get products building up over time

Ofc they do work they just talk shit

Plenty of drugstore shampoos are just as good as professional ie Loreal.

@@therealmrsruttletell me what drug store brands are just as good as kerastase or k18 babe? I’d love to know.

Exactly. Also, Sally BS carries professional lines without the price. Are those as effective as salon brands?

Hey! Yes I'm coming out with a video on this very soon :)

I would love a video for that, i work as an emt/firefighter. I try to wash my hair every other day but i sweat like no tomorrow and it gets gross really quickly. I bought redken, but my hair gets greaser even quicker now...

This is the biggest load of BS I have ever heard. I’ve been a stylist for 48 yrs and if you have a greasy scalp together with a greasy face, you cannot go 4 days without washing either unless you want to be a smelly dirty pig. Even normal skin needs to be washed daily. Are you really going to wash your face every four days? Regardless of how long your hair is how dry the ends are or how bleached they are the scalp will still get oily with the new growth and you want to keep that clean and your follicles clean and not blocked so you have to clean it every day with a mild shampoo, not one that last four days and you have to add the moisture to the hair and an oil to the ends of the hair because you’re never gonna get your scalp oil onto those ends but your scalp will be greasy and your ends will be dry in this case like I said, you need to wash your hair daily if you need to condition the ends and then add oil to the ends like Moroccan oil and all shampoos clean well you don’t need to get a moisturizing daily shampoo from supermarkets you can use a good professional shampoo daily I do. I use Ola Plex, Redken acidic bonding shampoo and Schwarzkopf’s goodbye, yellow shampoo, because I have bleach hair with a greasy scalp and a greasy face. I use Ola Plex conditioner, and then I use a leave in conditioner by Redken acidic bonding, and then I use Moroccan oil on the very ends. I’m adding moisture daily , but having clean hygienic hair as well.

Yes pumps definitely make it easier! Thanks Kittie 🙏

Yes please. Is that a dry shampoo time?

i believe he made a vid talking ab that:)

I hear you! I'm in Fort Myers :)

​@@BlowoutProfessor What do you think of Kevin Murphy's Maxi Wash shampoo to clarify?

@@BlowoutProfessor by the way LOVING the Redkin shampoo - I have to try that leave in conditioner now.

Hey Sheila! I typically try to leave the scalp alone. I've seen scalp products produce more problems than benefits :) but if you're having a problem I would see a dermatologist to fix the problem instead of just treating the symptoms with products/home remedies 👍

@@BlowoutProfessor I see. Thank you very much :)

Most salon hair products contain silicones too lol. Silicones being bad for your hair is a myth , im glad i started adding cones to my routine

@@ubs16 Yes, I know “Salon Shampoos” contain Silicones. But they are usually better balanced than Drugstore Brands who are going for that ‘Shampoo + Conditioner’ feel and use more than is really needed. I don’t “Hate” Silicones per se’ but most companies use way too much and in EVERY PRODUCT they make, including ones that don’t really need them. Silicones should be a “Finishing Step” in my opinion and not just used as a general conditioning agent unless the hair is Color - Treated and needs some color protection during the shampoo.

Hey Lisa! I would avoid the shampoo and conditioner but the intensive treatment and styling product are both good :) Especially the intensive treatment if you have damage., It's just as good as Olaplex No 3 👍

Hey Chris, why would you stay away from the shampoo and conditioner? And what do you think about Redken extreme lengths system. Love your channel, I changed my whole routine based on you 😊

Neutrogena T-sal salicylic acid shampoo and Jason dandruff control shampoo helped me a lot! Just follow the instructions on the bottle. My itchy scalp would need frequent washing, these shampoos help. Hope this is helpful info 😀

Hey! What really matters is that you get the scalp fully clean 👍 so if you're able to do it like that then go for it. It really depends on how oily the scalp is in the first place :)

Hey Akanksha! Yes I'll make a note to have the volume louder next time. Thanks for letting me know 🙏

Thanks for taking my suggestion positively 👍 Love your content ❤️

Mee to my hearing is horrible these days

Hey! Yeah the texture of grey hair is much different. When you get a lot of grey (not just a strand here or there) you'll want to change to more moisturizing products as coarse hair is typically dryer. My recommended product list in the description can help you pick the best hydrating products for coarse hair :)

@@BlowoutProfessor thank you 🙏

I must be the exception because my gray hair has never been coarse. I have fairly long, wavy completely gray hair. I stopped dying my hair 5 or so years ago. I never had permanent dye always semi, so letting it grow out was very painless. I never had the texture change or become more coarse. Is that unusual?

On that note, is Tresemme a professional shampoo?

@@SuperDjdil hell no

@@SuperDjdil noooo

@@Nico-co8hm thanks for the reply. How do I know what is and isn't 🤔. It's confusing when everything is labelled as "salon quality".

@@SuperDjdil You can't find professional shampoo's in drugstores. Every shampoo that you cán find there isn't professional. They just label it as "salon quality" because they want you to buy it and think it's good for your hair (while it really isn't).

Right? It's a hard thing to get across 😂

Had the same question. How is pro shampoo any different if it has the exact same ingredients ?? 🤔feel like he’s making a commission or something

Apparently professional shampoos are formulated with Water-soluble silicones can be easily rinsed out of hair and won't cause buildup or dullness over time. Basically, they provide the benefits of silicone without the negative side effects.

@@fatimapatel4367 But pro shampoo formulates with water-insoluble silicones too alongside water-soluble ones. All 3 of the pro shampoos Chris recommends contain water-insoluble silicones (aminopropyl triethoxysilance, dimethicone and dimethicone polymer). That's because shampoo, whether it's drugstore or pro, can formulate with them for conditioning benefits, as long as their cleansing agent is strong enough (sulfate, sulfosuccinate, sulfonate) to remove it. Something being water-insoluble means nothing more than, you need something stronger than water to remove it.... like a strong cleansing agent. So the argument that pro shampoo uses only water soluble silicone and that's what makes it better, is not true at all. Both types of shampoo use both water soluble and water insoluble silicones. I think "all drugstore shampoo leaves a film on your hair" is a myth -- because most drugstore shampoo uses strong sulfates alongside their water insoluble silicone. I think it's simply that pro shampoo is better at cleaning your hair, because their combination of strong cleansing agents and insoluble silicone is more *sophisticated.*

He's talking about the hair being left coated in oils

Hey Alma! Hmm it sounds like you may be allergic to an ingredient in Redken. I would try buying travel/sample sizes of shampoo from brands other than Redken like pureology pulp riot 👍

@@BlowoutProfessor Got it! Thank you so much!

Coarse here as well! Can you tell me the specific names of the Aveda and Bumble & Bumble shampoos? Thanks!

I learned this with my acne- but as for terms of scalp, what I’ve read from trichologist also agree- you can get an oily scalp from over shampooing! (For me this is on top of lots of itchiness and dandruff). How can my scalp be dry and oily at the same time? Well just like my acne can. With certain skin types- if you keep drying out your skin - your body automatically learns to make more of the oily quicker. It wants to protect your skin from dying and flaming off. I learned this when I stopped using my moisturizer step with my acne- the wash alone dried out my skin way too much. First recommendation is to stick to it- embrace the oil for a bit. Once had to use a friends shampoo - it threw my scalp into off balanced itchiness- super oily again. It took two weeks of itchiness- but sticky it out and only watching every 5-7days, for it to get back on track. This was after a month of me shampooing every other day, and I finally just decided to try something else. Then again, it may not just be shampoo. For me personally- all dry shampoo through my scalp out of whack and slightly itchy- which is why I only use it if I know I’m washing my hair the next day. It’s because it’s designed to dry your roots out- but it also dries your scalp out at the same time. It also can be hard finding one that works but doesn’t dry your scalp out/itchy too much. I just avoid it when unless I really need to skip a shower day and my hair just is very oily. But any bad product can be drying out your hair. Even coconut oil! (Coconut oil can temporarily retain hair moisture, but since it doesn’t come out with water easily- also why it’s a horrid shave gel clogging my razors- it can clog the cuticle, preventing it from getting anymore future moisture. Only hair types with really open cuticles (coily hair) should coconut oil- as a more open cuticle makes it less likely to clog. It’s tricky, but knowing the do’s and don’t ingredients of your hair type is important. If you try one product- give it a month unless it’s absolutely horrible- and it’s not working after you’ve tried move on! I learned rice water does not agree with my specific wavy hair. 🤷🏻‍♀️ it should be it doesn’t. I know argan oil, aloe Vera, lemon grass and Jojoba oil really work well in my hair- so I look for those ingredients when buying new hair products.

@@tiffariff I agree. I use the clarifying shampoo once each time I visit the salon but at home, I use my regular chronologiste shampoo and my scalp has tremendously improved

I have the same question. It's more affordable than other options and JCPenney usually has sales on them (I think it's through their salon, so “salon quality”?)

And Giovanni’s shampoos and conditioners from Amazon. Not sold in a salon, but I’ve heard good things about their products from another KZfaq hair dresser, and they have pretty good reviews.

I have the same problem🥺

The Neutrogena T-sal salicylic acid shampoo helped me quite a bit. Whenever I use it, I let it sit in my hair/scalp for a while which is how it's recommended that you use it. Give it a try. There is also the Jason Dandruff Relief Shampoo which also helps. My scalp would be on fire before I found these products, hope this helps. 💕

@@NushBlush please see my comment below 👇⬇️

Not Chris but I work out and I have to wash my hair very often. I oil my hair with coconut/ olive oil before washing it and I only shampoo my scalp ( I have bleached hair) and it keeps my hair soft - I don’t even need to shampoo the ends cuz when I rinse the hair all the shampoo travels down the hair
