I am the girl who looks for a bargain pretty much everywhere except for my hair care products.  I have no problem spending mucho dollars on shampoo because "it is so worth it," and "it’s the one<\/em> thing I do for myself," and "If 2 oz. of shampoo is $20, it must be that much better than everything else."  Can you tell I’ve had this argument with my husband on more than one occasion?<\/p>\n

While I have no problem using Suave’s body washes because they smell great and they’re cheap, I’ve always been a bit of a shampoo and conditioner snob.  I can’t help it; it’s just who I am.<\/p>\n

So when Suave sent me a box loaded with their hair care products, I was completely skeptical.  Then I read the label on Suave’s Professional Color Care shampoo: "Protects as well as Biolage."  What???  Could it be true?  <\/p>\n

I was given three different Professional<\/a> series shampoo and conditioners to try: Suave Professionals Color Care (comparable to Biolage), Suave Professionals Sleek (comparable to Matrix), and Suave Professionals Vibrant Shine (comparable to Sebastian).  I thought that all the products performed well.  The shampoo seemed to do its job easily and my hair had a very clean feel to it.  The conditioner works well too, but I did find that I needed to use a bit more than I normally would use to get the same effect (I should note here that I just moved out of a house with a water softener to move into one that doesn’t have one so that could be the issue too).  <\/p>\n

My favorite of the three lines is the Color Care line.  It smells great and if it’s comparable to Biolage, well then send me a crate of it because I believe I’ve just saved about $400\/year (o.k. maybe that’s a slight exaggeration).  <\/p>\n

I also got to try the Extra Hold Mousse and the Extra Hold Aerosol hairspray.  While I’m not really an "extra hold" needing kind of girl, I thought both of the products did a good job.  Both of these products are comparable to Sebastian styling products.  Generally I don’t use mousse or hairspray, but back in the 80’s and early 90’s. . . let’s just say that the hairspray would have been my very best friend (behind a good spiral perm of course).  However, for those women who are looking for some control, these are definitely worth a try.  <\/p>\n

Suave also sent me some travel-sized samples of their invisible solid deodorant in the tropical paradise variety.  The stuff smells so good, I kind of want to blend it with ice and drink it.  I’ve found that the deodorant works just as well as my usual deodorant, and it smells really nice too.<\/p>\n

Overall, I’d have to say that I’m fairly impressed with the Suave Professionals line.  It’s definitely worth a try for anyone looking to trim their budget or for those who would just like to have extra cash to spend on clothes instead of expensive hair products.  <\/p>\n
