Hair Product Immunity - StyleLies
Filed under: Style Lies, Beauty Tips
We've all been there. You buy a nice shampoo that costs an arm and a leg, expecting it to do miracle work. The first few days, you think the product is a gem. But after a few weeks? Not so much. Do hair products really stop working if you them for months on end?
So many people claim that their shampoo and conditioner combo "just aren't working anymore." Just to appease us, most stylists will switch it up but what they don't tell you is that they are laughing inside. Laughing because, well, there is no evidence that hair builds resistance to product. In fact, as weird as this may sound, the hair on your head is already dead, so there is no way it can build "immunity" to any sort of product.
When most of us think our product has "stopped working," in actuality, we are most likely just experiencing product build up.
You can wash the excess out by:
• Using a strong, clarifying shampoo twice a week.
• Doing an apple cider vinegar rinse once a week.
• Giving hair one day off a week. Wherein you shampoo as normal but do not apply any product for at least full one day until the next shampoo.
Prevent build up and your products will "work" again in no time.

So, being a hair stylist and also just a women with hair that dies for a decent product i do agree that hair dose not grow an immunity it is in fact build up. also Great Product should not coast an arm and a leg. I run a hair studio and i have learned through experience of my own that everyone wants something to love without the hefty coast. At the Body Beautiful Of NY Inc hair studio we use and retail Sebastian Graham Webb and Wella products all amazing and all affordable. Every product from shampoo & conditioner to styling and treatments is no more then $19.95 or Less. the biggest plus to these products is absolutely no build up, this is no lie. I have written reviews on numerous products. any questions on how this is possible comment me!!! Great Blog By The Way!!!
