When you splash the cash for an exclusively lavish hairdo from an expensive stylist, the last thing you want is to ruin it by dousing your locks with a substandard shampoo or conditioner.
Nope, your precious tresses deserve better.
Interestingly, however, the price tag on the product you choose, whether it’s a natural shampoo or otherwise, is irrelevant if you’re not using it correctly. According to the experts, it’s most important to massage the scalp AND hair, and ensure your shampooed shock is rinsed properly before applying your conditioner.
Despite this advice, take a look at some of the world’s most expensive and luxurious shampoos whose price tags, rather than the soap going in your eyes, are most likely to cause tears to stream down your face …
Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo
Coming in at an eye-wateringly expensive $140 for 12oz, Russian Amber Imperial has been named the “best of the best” by Vogue magazines internationally. Designed to rejuvenate and revitalise all hair types, the shampoo claims to reduce fading and enhance the overall health of your locks.
Boasting an impressive ingredients list, which includes chamomile, grape seed, rosemary, nettle, burdock and sage, its scent evokes the “opulence of the Romanov dynasty” and aims to open previously protected perfumed privileges to the masses.
