Just a Fair Warning

As easy as it may seem, shopping for hair products can be very difficult.  Many people just pick something.  That can be very harmful!! There are many factors out there that could jeopardize your overall health and look.
Expired Products
Lots of people don't realize that all products can go bad before you really realize it!  And its a definite big no-no to use expired products, they can grow harmful bacteria and won't work half as well.  Things to toss out often(or use up quickly) are things like mascara, eyeliner, lip glosses and other face related items.  Your face has a very delicate system of germs on it and when you have your product grows its own germs it can really contaminate your beautiful face. Another product to be thrown out often is nail polish(according to totalbeauty.com). Nail polish will really only last about a year and that's if its kept in a cool place, after that is when it become dried out and won't dry nor un-chipped.
Harsh Ingredients
You would never add something too your food that you know can cause your body a lot of harm, so why would you buy products that could do the same?  Ingredients often found in beauty products like sodium lauryl sulphate, formaldehyde, sodium laureth sulphate,  parabens and fragrance( the list really goes on) are harmful!  Look at the ingredients before just buying something.  Sodium lauryl/laureth sulphates are one of the most common found ingredients in cheap shampoo and conditioners but they are known carcinogens.
Where and What You Buy
Have you ever seen a product in you salon and later found it at a store for half price?  Sounds like salons are ripping you off, right? Wrong! When you see stores like Sears, WalMart or KMart carrying brands like Joico,  Kenra or Framesi its for on or both reasons: A Packaging change or that two year shelf life is at three months.  A packaging change won't harm you but the almost bad products are trapping you for damage.  Beauty Products aren't required the use by or sell by dates so you really can't trust getting them from just anywhere.  Even though the products may look identical the performance from one bought in a salon will probably be better because its fresher.
Where You Store
Warm and damp areas cause bacteria to grow quicker. That's a fact that we cannot change.   Keeping your beauty products in the bathroom that you fill with warm, damp steam everyday isn't the best idea. Also many products like anti-aging things are affected by light.  Beauty Products should be kept in a cool dark area for extended life and performance.
