sauve Suave Professionals Color Care Shampoo Review

Okay.  So, I should start this review off by letting you know that I am a professional hair stylist.  I have access to the best deals in the business, as far as products go. But guess what?  I'd rather spend my money on MAC makeup brushes, and toys for my son, than spend even $10.00 on a bottle of shampoo.

I can remember the first day I stuck a bottle of this, and a bottle of Suave Professionals Color Care Conditioner in my cart at Targét, thinking, "Well, at approximately $2.50 a piece, if it's terrible, I can use the shampoo as a body wash and the conditioner as a shave gel."

I showed my purchase to my little sister who was with me; she feigned dramatic shock, as I rolled my eyes.

"I'm broke, and I need clean hair, okay?"

Weeeell... I'm not broke at this very moment, that first purchase was over 2 months a go... and I'm on my second bottle.  I actually LOVE the way this stuff works for my hair!  I've been coloring at home (again - I'm cheap, and heck, I have a liscense that says I know what I'm doing), and it seems to hold up the color pretty well.  I've never had a color care shampoo that actually prevented color bleed out completely, but again, this does an acceptable job, all things considered. (I can't really expect too much when I wash my hair daily, in scalding hot water, now can I?)

I would recommend this, but with a somewhat chagrinned expression, due to the fact that when I worked in a salon, I touted the "Only Professional Products, Please, Or Your Hair Will Fall Off!" rule with passion.

Is it Biolage like it claims to be?  No.  The ingredients are cheaper, therefore, it's not as high quality.  But does it totally suck?

No.

And?  At less than $3.00 at Target, maybe you can pick up a new mascara while you're there.  You haven't gotten a new one in awhile, have you?
