Luxe vs. Less Hair CareWhich cheapies are as good as the high-end products? |
8 of 10
Luxe: Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Conditioner, $32
Ingredients in Action
The budget formula restores smoothness to all of your strands with cationic surfactants. The pricier product contains caviar extract to nourish your hair, cytokines to stimulate protein production and antioxidant vitamin C.
And the Winner Is �
Both pack a powerful punch against old hair age (if you're medium to long in length, the hair is old), but the cheaper version's cationic surfactants are positively charged, so your hair has a better shot at looking like it did before the damage set in.

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.
