Difference between cheap shampoo and other shampoo?

I usually use Vive Pro shampoo. It is around $6-7 at the store. Yesterday I went out to buy more but only had cash so I bought White Rain shampoo for $1. It smelt so much better than the Vive Pro, and it made my hair softer. What is the difference between these shampoos? Why is one $7.00 and one is $1.00?Difference between cheap shampoo and other shampoo?
cheap shampoo have total 100% chemicals


other shampoos have ingredients which are good for hair

Less ingrediants in it, it weighs less, less vitamins for your hair and hair growth.
It depends on if you keep your hair short or long, %26amp; if you color it!!





If you keep your hair short and its natural color then its okay to use the cheaper shampoo's.. However if you color your hair %26amp; or keep it long then you need a better shampoo...





Honestly, what happens is cheaper shampoos have a striping ingredient in them.. They do not deposit moisture, or safe gaurd color.. The brands such as Redken %26amp; Matrix are designed with the best ingredients leaving hair soft and gaurded.. Pantene, V05, etc. also advertise their products to safe-gaurd color %26amp; retain moisture, but I always had a problem with them...
it all comes down the the PH balance of the different shampoos. Cheaper shampoos might make your hair feel softer short-term, but they will throw off the PH balance of your hair leading to more split-ends and breakage later....it is okay to use the cheapie stuff REALLY short term, but stick with the more expensive stuff long term for the health of your hair...think about it this way, what you are spending on shampoo, you have saving in haircuts and vice-versa.
More expensive shampoo has better ingredients and usually less chemical ingredients, so in the long run its better for your hair. To get super shiny hair use an expensive yet professional shampoo.
Maybe it's more expensive because of the brand. You should buy things that are best for your hair.
more nutrients for your hair
It really just depends on how each works in your hair. Just because the shampoo is expensive doesn't necessarily mean it's the best for your hair. I've tried suave and pantene pro v and suave works better in my hair. The pantene has something in it that makes my hair dry and frizzy. It just depends on your hair type.
well depends how cheap, if you mean like tesco value or something for about 50p and then expensive salon shampoos, then ther is alot of difference! the really cheap stuff ususlly contains aload of crap,


the really expensive stuff tends to have better ingredients and are more condenced





you don't have to splash out on the salon stuff though to get a good shampoo , because you can get quality cheap stuff too, even supermarkets have their own version of good shampoos, copies are the leading brands that are good, just stay away from the 50p stuff!
If You Compare The Ingredients On The Labels There Is Really Little Or No Difference In The 'Expensive' Brands And The Cheaper Brands Except How Much Money The Manufacturers And Distributors Make On The Products. Even The Salon Brands Are Resorting To Cheap 'Silicone Laden' Junk With A Microscopic Amount Of 'Active' Ingredients, Often Less Than The Amount Of Fragrance. Use What Works Best For Your Hair And Don't Fall For Fancy Labels, Packages, Fragrances, And High Priced Products.
