Have you ever thought 'It is merely shampoo, treatment'? It is precisely because we use shampoo and treatment every day that as something that protects our hair for the future, it is very important.
People say that everyone is different, but this is not true in the world of hair. The importance of the quality of hair is the same for everyone. When making shampoo and treatment, the most important thing to consider is the concept. In one word we can say something like 'kind', but does that mean kind to a person's hair? Does it mean kind to the texture of the hair? Or does it mean kind to the wallet? It doesn't say.
There is an abundance of different cosmetic ingredients, so when you are making a top-class shampoo and treatment, the price is going to be about the same as that of a top-class beauty lotion. What kind of hair? What kind of texture? What kind of finish? If you don't have a clear vision of what you require, you will be lost in a maze of contradictions. So please be careful.
