Hair Matters Blog

Okay, so I know I promised this a long time ago… apologies for my un-intended hiatus… will explain in the next blog which I PROMISE will not take me three weeks to write.

So. Roffler. If you’re not familiar with this company, they’ve been around for years, decades even. Their main focus has been Men’s Grooming Products (it just sounds weird to say Men’s Beauty Products…). Their entire line was devoted to Men, I mean, one of their shampoos is called “Mountain Sage” AND they offer an amazing, concentrated shave cream.

Men seriously love their Roffler products. A big factor for most guys when it comes to buying, well… anything really, is Cost. And that’s really the great thing about Roffler. They have THE most affordable Salon Hair Products I’ve seen on the market. Seriously. Check out their prices.

The other reason guys love their Roffler products, is because they WORK. Watch out! They’re simple, awesome hair products that do what they say, don’t break the bank, and are easy to use. You can Read more »

Abba Pure Moisture Shampoo

So if you read my last blog, you’ll know that I switched to a Sulfate Free Shampoo & Conditioner. It was the Abba Pure Moisture Shampoo and Abba Pure Moisture Conditioner. I picked this particular shampoo because it was affordable (both were about $12 a bottle) and because my hair is always SUPER dry…so Moisture was definitely the way to go.

Abba’s other options are:
Color Protect – obviously for colored/dyed hair, which I don’t have
Volume – for adding volume to thin/fine hair, which I don’t have

Gentle – for sensitive scalps, again…not me

So I only based my choice on what I needed, which IS what you are supposed to do when picking a shampoo. However, I was in such a rush when picking it up that Read more »

Ok, so if you haven’t heard by now, Sulfate-Free Shampoos are all the rage. Companies everywhere are switching to Sulfate-Free formulas. Why? BECAUSE SULFATES ARE EVIL!!!….or…are they?

Sulfates are the main active cleaning agent found in your shampoo. They are the reason your shampoo foams/bubbles/lathers, which makes you think and feel that your shampoo is working. First of all, you don’t actually need a super-lathering shampoo in order to get your hair clean. The lather really is just a show your shampoo is putting on for you to reassure you that it’s doing its job. If you’re thinking of switching to sulfate-free shampoo you can say bye-bye to all that soapy lather.

So why does everyone hate Sulfates all of a sudden? What did they do? Well…they also appear in ENGINE DEGREASER. EW!…right? I mean that sounds gross…I don’t want to pour engine degreaser all over me.

Everyone seems to think that sulfates are going to cause us harm, mainly because of the other types of products they are used in. The fact is that Read more »
