While it’s convenient to opt for affordable drugstore brands of shampoo and conditioner they are the #1 hindrance in your mission to achieve long healthy hair. These affordable options tend to be loaded with harsh chemicals. Not sure what all of those things listed in the ingredient are? Here’s an easy way for you to choose, Shampoos that are super sudsy are loaded with chemicals and sulfates. Drugstore conditioners are riddled with wax and silicone that is bad for your hair, they are not actually conditioning your hair, it’s coating it. While they may smell really good and may help in protecting your hair from chlorine and the elements it’s building up on itself and weighing you down.
