There is a reason why I also prefer not to use professional color lines that also have box colors able to be purchased at Walmart. It stems behind the idea of creating a solution for a problem that you created. And what I mean by that is, when somebody uses a box diet at home to stuff up their hair, they then have to pay a professional if they really want it fixed to get it fixed. Then they have to spend even more money on top of that then they would have if they had just gone to the professional to begin with. No I’m not saying that every single professional hairstylist is absolutely amazing and never messes up and always produces almost perfect work. I’ve seen some things on these apps. Trust. But I just don’t like something that claims to be professional, which usually they mean, professional as a synonym to the word better. And then those professional/better products are just as bad as something at Walmart. I’ve seen shampoos say that they are color safe on the front label, but then you look at the back with the ingredients and it literally has one or multiple sulfates. It does not make sense. Because that is the main ingredient that will cause hair color to fade.  this is why I tell people that I try a lot of stuff at home. I have a rotation of nonprofessional and professional products to try because I have green hair. Not only is it green. It’s also a very light green, which means it can fade faster because it’s not as pigmented. So when I tell people what I use at home, I literally can get from Ulta without a license, they’re a little bit impressed. Now there’s only two products that I get shampoo wise, Odele thickening and smoothing. None of the conditioners with that brand are clean. I do need to go to Walmart to look at the new Hask products because they did change the packaging. Whenever a product changes packaging or they start hard-core pushing it in advertising, I always check the ingredients again.
