The best professional hair care products. Choosing hair care products

After a visit to the hairdresser, we cannot get enough of our hair - it looks healthy, fits well, becomes lively and manageable. But after about a week after washing your hair at home again, the entire effect disappears. Why is this happening?

The whole truth lies in the use of special cosmetics by the hair stylist, the composition and effect of which are radically different from mass-produced conditioner masks. After all, cheap products can improve the condition of your hair only for a while.

Previously, professional products were used exclusively in hairdressing salons, and they were not available for free sale. But nowadays, manufacturers have also begun to provide cosmetics for the mass market. Anyone can buy a miracle product, but the choice is so huge that in a store you can feel dizzy from the assortment.

Types of professional cosmetics

To better navigate the products of different brands, we suggest you decide what salon hair care products are.

Professional hair care products are not sold at low prices. Also, when buying shampoo, for example, you will not be sure that it will suit your hair. They learn from mistakes, but maybe not from their own?

1. Read on the forums, where both stylists and ordinary buyers leave their reviews, recommendations for this or that product.
2. If you visit the same beauty salon for a long time and trust your specialist, ask his advice on which cosmetics to choose.
3. Determine exactly your hair type and the desired effect, because professional products work like medicines from a pharmacy - they prevent only one specific problem. There is no cure for dandruff, elimination of split ends and rapid hair growth in one miracle bottle.
4. Check out the product catalog of one specific brand that you like best. After all, you often need to use products in combination: the effect of using shampoo is secured by a mask and rinse, coloring with professional hair dye will not last long on the hair without the use of balm, etc.

Advice. In professional hair products, all ingredients are presented in high concentration. Their frequent use will not lead to the desired result, but may, on the contrary, cause harm. Therefore, follow the instructions - if it says “use once every 14 days,” then that’s what you should do.

Video review of professional hair cosmetics

2.Well, now I want to show you my favorite hair mask.
Estel Curex Therapy - Intensive mask for damaged hair


I met this mask in the summer of 2013, from that time we began a strong friendship, which smoothly turned into love. The mask instantly transforms my hair, my hair becomes dense and nourished, it lies hair to hair. I don’t need anything else of my own to be happy.
This product is considered a professional product.
The mask comes in a volume of 500 ml, usually it lasts me for half a year (the length of my hair and thickness makes itself felt). The mask has a very pleasant, salon-like aroma

The mask itself is thick, almost like plasticine, and spreads easily through the hair, due to the silicones in the composition that glide smoothly, enveloping each hair.
The instructions say that the mask should be applied for 5-10 minutes, but I apply it for 40 minutes on hair that has been previously wrung out with a towel. That's when I see the maximum result from her. Hair is like silk.
The price for this one is just a penny, only 300 rubles.

3. As the third point, I would like to tell you about the well-known and beloved mask from Brelil Numero “With oat extract”


The mask comes in a volume of 1000 ml.
The manufacturer claims that the mask has an intense nourishing and restorative effect.
The manufacturer was not lying at all about this, the mask really nourishes the hair perfectly, after using it the hair becomes soft, nourished, and elastic.
But on thin hair, there may be an “icicle” effect, you need to be careful with this.
The aroma is incredibly pleasant, sweetish, very rich, and tends to stay on the hair for 2 days after washing.
The price of this product is about 1000 rubles, I think the price is more than justified, I am willing to pay for such a large volume and excellent action.
The mask itself is a medium thick cream, yellow in color.


How do I use it?
I wash my hair, then wring out my hair, this is mandatory, this way the product will work better.
I apply the mask to the entire length, departing 10 cm from the roots. Leave it for a couple of minutes and rinse off. This is a SOS mask that can turn your hair into silk in a short time.
This is what my hair looks like after using this mask:

4. I would say my fourth favorite is keratin brand HELSO


Keratin itself is a liquid with a consistency similar to water, with a cloudy tint.
I don’t use it in its pure form, and I shouldn’t.
Let's figure out why my hair needs it so much?


Keratin fills the voids in the hair cuticle, thereby reducing split ends and fragility.
How do I use it?
I make a moisturizing spray:
I make 2 pump pumps for 50 ml of water, after which I shake everything well and spray it on my hair every day.
It’s better not to concentrate any more, your hair will instantly become sticky, as if you poured sugar on it.
I also use keratin to enrich masks, but I’ll just say right away that it doesn’t work with natural masks, especially those that contain oils; when mixed with such masks, it becomes curdled, and the mask breaks up into incomprehensible flakes.
For me, the ideal combination is the Estelle mask in a dark green jar, which I talked about in the second paragraph.
I usually mix it at once, since keratin is natural, and it is better to store it in the refrigerator.
I usually mix it in a mask lid. I take about a tablespoon of the mask (for my length), make 1 press with the pump, and mix everything thoroughly, the mask begins to change its consistency to a more airy one.
I apply it to washed hair, having previously wrung it out with a towel, without touching the roots of the hair, ideally retreating 10-15 cm, paying special attention to the ends.
I leave the mask on for 40-120 minutes, the longer the better, and it will be good if you warm up your hair with a hairdryer.
To prevent your hair from dripping (it’s better to wring it out, but carefully, without damaging the wet hair), and then put a towel on your shoulders; you don’t need to wrap your hair, you can just secure it with an elastic band.
After you wash off the mask, you simply won’t recognize your hair, it will be like silk.
And yes, this product has a cumulative result, the more you use it, the better your hair becomes.
This beauty costs around 1000 rubles, look for it in SP.
The only downside is that the product is natural and needs to be stored only in the refrigerator, and only for a year.
The volume is 250 ml, just enough for a goal.
This is what my hair looks like immediately after using the Estel + keratin mask

In appearance they are always the same, but to the touch there is a huge difference.
5. Well, the final remedy, which I was delighted with, is oil from Kerastase Multifunctional Elixir Ultime


I bought it for myself as a birthday present, it was expensive, but this product simply captivated me.
Firstly, I would like to note its aroma, it is very pleasant, smells like an expensive French perfume. After using it, your hair will smell fragrant for another day.
Secondly, its nourishing properties, the oil nourishes and protects the length and ends of my hair so well that I have not cut my ends for the 4th month, and this is a huge period for me.
I apply it to wet hair, 2 pumps are enough for me after washing my hair.
This is what the oil looks like, it is transparent and the consistency is thick.


The composition of the oil is good:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Zea Mays Corn Germ Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Camellia Kissi Seed Oil, Pentaclethra Macroloba Seed Oil, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Coumarine, Benzyl Alcohol, Parfum/Fragrance.

The price of the oil is about 2000 rubles for 125 ml, but the oil is worth every penny.
I'm just sure that I'll buy it again as soon as I run out of it. The oil consumption is average, I really hope that it will last me for a year.


This is what my hair ends look like now:


Well, as a bonus, I would like to tell you about my favorite vitamins that help grow length.


These are Perfectil vitamins.
This is the second time I’ve bought them, and I’m sure I’ll buy them again, as I see results from them.


Vitamins cost around 500 rubles. They are 30 capsules that need to be taken for 30 days.
Vitamins can cause nausea, but I did not have such symptoms, which I am very happy about.
The composition of these vitamins is very rich.

These are one of the few vitamins that I actually see results from.
But don’t forget that vitamins are not like candy, and to drink them, it would be best if you consult your doctor first!
Thank you all for your attention, I hope my post was useful and informative for you.
I was glad to share with you my must-haves

Write about your favorite products, maybe I’ll take a closer look at something.
Beautiful and healthy hair to everyone!
Sincerely, Masha

Attractive, well-groomed hair is one of the undeniable advantages of a true lady. Women will go to great lengths to make their hair more beautiful: masks made from mayonnaise and mustard, styling and perm, curls and straightening. Over time, after several successful or not so successful experiments, you may notice that your hair no longer pleases you.

Daily scalp and hair care helps relieve the “load” and stress from hot styling procedures and other external influences. Shampoos, masks, sprays and hair foams will come to the rescue in the fight for beautiful hair.

How to choose hair care products?

If you prefer to buy only professional cosmetics to care for your hair, you are not mistaken. Indeed, the products used by hairdressers and stylists are more effective than regular mass market products. For example, the Alterna series of products not only cares for your hair, but also treats your hair. Again, it is worth mentioning that professional cosmetics should be purchased in special places, and not in stalls.

. “Shampoo for oily hair”, “Mask for damaged hair” are not empty words. If your hair is really dry and brittle, you should listen to the manufacturer’s advice. To determine exactly what type of hair you have, consult a trichologist or an experienced hairdresser.

Over-groomed hair looks even worse than unkempt hair. In pursuit of beauty, you shouldn’t buy everything from store shelves. Using several masks at once will only damage your hair by oversaturating it.

Taking care of your scalp is also important. A banal minute massage with your fingers gives amazing results. Before you shake your head skeptically, try it!

If you are a cosmetic shopaholic, your bathroom shelves are probably filled to capacity with jars and tubes. There are also hair care products from different brands. Trying new care products is not so bad - the hair does not have time to get used to cosmetics, the effect of the new product is brighter. Just don’t be too zealous - it happens that experiments with cosmetics of dubious production do not lead to good results.

A scattering of jars and bottles on store shelves conquer women's hearts. Each of us is pleased to feel a fresh, unusual aroma while using a mask or conditioner. Love yourself and your hair, take care of it regularly, fortunately modern manufacturers of hair care products are doing everything for this.
