Luxe vs. Less Hair CareWhich cheapies are as good as the high-end products? |
4 of 10
Luxe: Vavoom Gold Heat Iron-In Control Protective Dry Mist, $16
Ingredients in Action
Natural fruit extracts and silicones in the budget spray protect your hair and hold your style. The pricier spray's new "Heat Dispersion Technology" distributes heat evenly across the hair so sections of your strands don't weaken more than others; it also contains style-holding polymers.
And the Winner Is �
Both sprays prep your hair to take the heat by sealing the cuticle. But the less expensive spray is more moisturizing because it's alcohol-free.

there are sooo many cheaper products with exact same active ingredients, it's amazing. It's particularly easy to find a replacement within a large brand (like l'oreal)- kerastase- l'oreal, etc.

I wonder how closely they would really compare.

I think I get ripped off a lot, as I still believe in the old adage you get what you pay for. This article is making me think that I could be saving some money, but I do believe that the high end products I purchase are superior.

Depends on what type of hair you have. If you have manageable hair, any brand will work on your hair but if you are fighting with frizz and unmanageable hair, drugstore products won't work.

Wow! This was eye-opening, it just goes to show that expensive is not always better.
