As
one who appears on television interviews and presents classes and workshops for
my business, it is critically important to attend to my appearance with
care. Dark roots, split ends, flyaway, or just plain messy hair could
distract from my message. It could adversely affect my bottom
line as well.
Unfortunately,
haircare products can be pricy, especially an issue for a small business
owner. Consequently, I have found a way to save on hair care
products significantly. Follow along as I share what I've found.
Not too dark, not too light, my hair color is perfect
because I use coupons.
As
one who is near her seventh decade, gray is popping up all
over. Therefore, to even out my hair color, I am now married to the
box—box of hair color, that is. My relationship with the box saves
me at least $60 my stylist would charge for once-a-month treatment.
Even
though coloring my hair at home is much cheaper than salon treatments, I'd
rather buy it on the cheap. For example, I found two $3 coupons
for my brand of hair dye in the paper. A nearby drug store offered a bogo deal
with a $4 coupon for future purchases. Instead of spending $24 for
two boxes, mine cost $9, plus I have $4 to spend for other necessities.
Using
coupons in stores with loyalty programs and incentives boost the savings even
more.
Note: Find
coupons online as well.
Join loyalty programs
Speaking
of loyalty programs...I receive digital discount coupons, special pricing, and
even gift
certificates just by shopping. These are stores I shop in any way. So, joining their loyalty program is a
no-brainer. When I shop their sales, my savings multiply.
Discount beauty stores offer beautiful savings!
One
of my favorite discount beauty products stores is Sally. Luckily, there is one
near me, but shopping the website is equally easy on the wallet, especially
during a pandemic. Here I can purchase all my hair products and
styling tools at a steep discount. Additionally, their selection of
generic products is excellent. For example, I replaced my pricy name
brand Tea Tree Oil shampoo with a generic for a $19 savings.
Sally
also offers a loyalty program, which increases my savings.
Use products sparingly
Unless
you are an athlete or someone whose hair is exposed to dirt or sweat, daily
washing really isn't necessary. In fact, many excellent sources agree
that daily washing can strip the hair of natural oils and could irritate flaky
scalps. I've found that shampooing my long hair twice a week is best
for me. It isn't as dry and looks great.
Additionally,
there's no reason to "rinse and repeat" as some advertising might
dictate. One shampoo application is ample.
Don't get caught up in the hype!
There
are products we should use to keep our hair healthy, especially for those of us
who chemically treat our hair. Nevertheless, some products are more
hype than help. For example, in between shampoos, my hair can get a
bit flat. Lifting products formulated to lift flat hair can cost a
pretty penny, but I can achieve the same results by spraying a bit of water on
my roots.
Having
a great hair day shouldn’t cost a fortune!
