I’m a hair pro

A HAIR expert has revealed five hair products that people are wasting their money on.

From shampoos to hair oil the hair pro said people are too obsessed with consuming loads of expensive hair products that they don't really need.

Elle Bangs shared her list in a YouTube video

The hairstylist said she believed the industry has a problem with over consumption of products.

She said: “I feel like we live in a day and age where a product is everything everywhere you look there is something you need to buy.”

The first product Elle recommends people stop buying is expensive shampoos.

The hair pro explained some shampoo brands are not even with their price point.

She said: “If you're paying that crazy amount of money and most of the reason why it's expensive is for the packaging for the branding.”

The next pro Elle tells her clients is a separate hot tool for every style.

She said: “I don't believe that you need all of that if you think about it. Salons typically will have a blow dryer and a curling iron and basically I can create almost any style with those tools.”

Elle explained you want to purchase multi purpose tools that are high quality.

The hairstylist says many hair oils do nothing for most people.

She said: “Oils that do nothing but coat the hair.”

“When you're using a hair oil on your hair to create shine, diminish frizz you want a good quality oil that's actually going to penetrate deep into the hair and heal from the inside out.”

But many hair oil molecules are too big to penetrate and so they just sit on top.

Elle recommends people stop using coconut oil and start using argan oil.

The hair expert says you should never buy a styling product that's only designed for styling.

She said: “When your hair is wet and you're putting in a volumizing product or a shine product.

“You want to make sure that that product is also a heat protector the fact that you're already putting a product into the hair while the hair is damp it should absolutely be doing at least two functions.”

This will help you protect your hair when styling but also help you save some money when you're in beauty stores.
