Product Price Dilemma

I have a problem: I have dry hair. Every time I would go to a hair stylist for a new cut, I would plead with the hair dresser to give me a solution to my problem. "Tell me of a new elixir that replaces my brittle ends with nourished tresses! Please I'll do anything!"

By now, I know hair biology and the reasons for dry hair. I've tried the solutions that web pages offer: hot oil treatments, weekly protein treatments, leave-in-conditioners, good products vs. bad products, alcohol is a no-no etc. But none of these solutions seem to give me my silky desire.

And each time, the hair dresser, delighted by my plight for answers, tells me I must use salon-based products. "Stay away from nasty drugstore products!" they warn. Well, I've done that and spent a good bit of money. And it hasn't worked.

The sneaky little scissor-weilding stylists are trying to pull a fast one on me, but the fraudulent suggestion that price makes the biggest difference does not work on me! I've done my personal research! From my experience, there is no difference between the salon and the generic products. Maybe we can account my skepticism for the ineffectiveness of more expensive salon products, but I think not. I wanted the more expensive products to work but instead they have the same effects as the cheaper ones.

I think the suggestion that price dictates quality abounds everywhere and in some cases it might be true, but for the most part it is a false formula. Each time I went into the hair salon, I knew the ploys of the stylists-- trying to get you to purchase expensive products that they receive a commission for selling. I also knew the price dictates quality facade and the placebo effect philosophy that tricks many into believing that their problems will be fixed (in this hair context case-I'm not discrediting it in other situations). But because I have background knowledge of these tactics, I can make an informed decision about what hair products I choose to buy.

What I'm saying is: We could save a lot of money, if we didn't take to heart the price dictates quality sham.
