You don't always get what you pay for...

...but this time I did!  For the last couple of years I've been using an unscented shampoo and conditioner that I bought at the health food store.  But my hair had gotten dry and dull, and it did not look healthy.  So I looked around and ended up trying Pantene moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.  That was about half as expensive as what I'd been using and my hair was better, but I still thought that I needed something more.  Last month I was out with a friend and she needed to stop at her hair salon/spa.  This place had all kinds of hair products and I was looking for something to add shine to my hair.  The owner of the salon came over to wait on me and he recommended that I try the Pureology line of products, specifically the volumizing shampoo and conditioner.  He told me that Pureology products are more concentrated, so you don't use as much.  After I got over the sticker shock of $25 for each bottle (or about 5 times what the Pantene products cost!), I had to decide whether or not to make this major investment.  I budget for miscellaneous expenses, so I decided to go ahead.  OMG!  Within a week, my hair was much healthier looking and feeling, and I don't have to use conditioner every day.  Of course, I don't know how long this bottle of shampoo will last me, but since I only have to use a little bit (really, only about the size of a large pea), I'm expecting that my investment will definitely pay off!
