Don't pull your hair out - cheap hair care products are out there!

Nothing can frustrate a woman more than having a "bad hair" day. Whether it is frizzy, looking dull and lifeless or just not parting the right way, hair can change a woman's entire look and feelings about herself. Salon treatments can be very expensive. Perms and color can cost up to several hundred dollars, not to mention the time you will spend in the salon. But there is an alternative to pricey salon treatments. Despite what your hairdresser may try to lead you to believe, cheap hair care products are relatively safe to use if you just follow the directions. You local discount retailer and drugstores are the best place to find cheap hair products. Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target and Walgreens are the most popular stores in the United States. The shelves of these stores are lined with cheap hair care products--shampoos, conditioners and hair color. The products are often discounted in weekly sales, which are advertised in the local newspaper. The products are so inexpensive, you can afford to experiment with them until you find one you like. There are many brands available.

One of the most popular brands is Suave. Suave has a line of shampoos and conditioners that are based on more expensive salon brands. You can purchase the shampoo and conditioner for less than $4. Suave also has a line of hairsprays and styling products that are inexpensive. You can save more money on Suave products by looking for coupons, which are usually in your Sunday paper. Suave sell other cheap health and beauty products such as soap and deodorant.

Another popular cheap hair care product is L'Oreal hair color. Even though it is a bit more expensive than some brands on the shelf, L'Oreal has a reputation for long-lasting color. L'Oreal has introduced a new product recently that allows you to put in salon-quality highlights at home. This procedure will cost anywhere from $50 to $250 in the salon, but you can purchase the home version for less than $25. The only downside is it could make a mess if you are not careful when using it at home.

Before trying any hair care product, whether it is cheap or expensive, make sure you are not allergic. All products encourage you to try a "strand test." This is where you color a small amount of hair to determine if you will have an adverse reaction to the product. No matter how cheap the hair color product is, it is of no use to you if you are allergic and it causes a breakout or rash on your skin.
