generic hair products at sallys?

[trinity]

what generic hair products at sallys have you tried and can compare to the real thing?

I liked the protein packs when I tried them a while back.

I think the brand name was Ion...or something like that. It's been a while since I purchased them.

 

[moneychaser]

I have used the generic brand of Nexus humetress, and a was really shocked...

Very moisturizing...
I have never tried the real thing so I can't compare..

 

[sassygirl125]

I've used the real and fake K-Pak Reconstructor. They look different, but both of them work the same on my hair. The fake one is thicker than the real one.

The generic sebastian wet and real sebastian wet work the same to me. But I stopped using both.

 

[carrie]

I have tried the generic versions f the Nexxus products, Paul Mitchell's the Detangler and Sebastions's Wet. ALL as good as the originals.

 

[Crystena77]

I use the generic version of Humectress and there's nothing better for my hair. At 3.99, it can't be beat.

Hummmmmmmmmmmm.... I guest the generics are good at Sallys.

I second sassygirl. I also tried Generic Sebastian Potion 9 but I didn't like it at ALL so i didn't try the real thing. I heard it works the same though.

I recently purchased the generic k-pak and I must say Im impressed! I love the results. The only thing that bothers me is......if the generic is this good, the real one must be the BOMB! (Ive never tried the real one). I may have to purchase the real one once just to see what Im missing.

I have the generic Ion reconstructor but I haven't used it yet. The generic biosilk wasnt all that to me, but I think I may need to try it again with a better flat iron.

 

[karezone]

I have used the real one and in comparison, the generic is just as good. It just smells different. From now on I will be using the generic just to be cost effective.

Beyond the Zone Acid Shock conditioner booster (with Pantene r & n cond. over it)- love it- it adds shine, seals the cuticle and gives great curl definition..
Generic KPak- use to love it
Generic Humectress- use to love it

 

[lunalight7]

Acid Shock is a Sally's brand? Duh...no wonder I cant find it...

I tried the Humetress too, I was impressed.

The generic brand is not as thick as the real stuff.

 

[MoezThunder]

Of the brands tried, which conditioner gives the best slip, with or without new growth?

 

[Mija]

The Acid shock is the cheaper version of Phuse cond.($14)

 

[cutebajangirl]

Wow I have the acid shock but I have never heard of Phuse.

 

[Mija]

I want to post a website with a pic and a description of it but I have so many websites in my beauty folder I dont know which one it is-lol.

Hey cutebajangirl what kind of results do you get when u use the acid shock?

 

[cutebajangirl]

Thanks, I used it but I don't think it did any thing special. I am gonna try it again. Do you use and exactly how do you use it. I think I tried with a deep conditioner and with a instant conditioner. I understand the theory behind it so I must have done something wrong.

 

[lunalight7]

Thanx for the info Mija.

 

[lunalight7]

I tried the generic biosilk serum last nite again when blowdrying (1st time in a year) and WOW! Maybe it works best for me this way...

 

[Mija]

I wash with Aubrey Organics chammomile shampoo, rinse, then use a Mebco comb to detangle and apply the Acid shock allover my hair then I put Pantene R & N on top of it then I put some Hipropac conditioner over that put a condition cap on and heat it with a blowdryer. I usually leave my conditioners in for approx. 2 hours. and then rinse.
My hair cames out shiny and soft (I used it 3 times so far.)

 

[kjames001]

I have used the authentic and the generic Paul Mitchell's sculpting lotion. Very similar outcomes, matter of fact couldnt tell the difference.

 

[cutebajangirl]

Thank you

 

[VelvetRain]

I learn something new with each post I read. I have never tried the generic versions of any of the products mentioned here. Usually I end up splurging on a big tube of the kpak reconstructor at 34 bucks a pop. I will give the generic a try when I finish my supply.

 

[Mija]

No problem.

 

[Angelicus]

Ewewwww I just tried Generic Nexxus

Well I just tried Generic Nexxus Humectress. Yuck No detangling, No softness, no smoothness and now my hair is out of wack. Beyond wack. ewww I am returning this to Sally's as soon as I can and exchange it for something better.
