Can We Talk about High-End Hair Care Products in 2025?

[Yvette 2.0]

Greetings, all!

Those of you who use or have used high-end hair products, will you please share your experiences, thoughts, and recommendations?

I'm looking for a color-safe cowash, shampoo, and conditioner. My hair is colored, 4a/b, fine, and denser than not.

Many thanks!

Back story:

I went to an expensive hair stylist a few times because I wanted to make some major hair changes (cut, color, and changing to wearing it mainly curly going forward). I watched this stylist on Instagram for more than a year before letting her work with my hair.​

​

She's majorly into high-end hair products and swears I won't recognize my hair in 6 months once I faithfully use her favorite brand -- the Kevin Murphy line.​

​

I got the KM samples and don't need that type of aroma in my life. ​

Im not sure what qualifies as high end but my hair prefers salon quality products versus the others.

I currently use Madison Reed shampoo and conditioner which goes with the color I use. And using it has changed my hair and all my products.

I also tried Prose which is a custom blend and my hair loves everything from the shampoo to the leave-in.

My hair is very finicky like my skin so it doesn't do well with things others rave about.

For color treated hair you definitely want a better shampoo and you probably want some type of quality bond treatment as well.

Do they have different fragrances?

Thank you! Helpful.

I don't think so. I used the cowash and the scent just doesn't vibe with my nose at all.

I started researching Amika, and Pureology was mentioned. I read a bit about Pureology here. Hmm

I use mostly professional/salon quality products and prefer it that way

My favorite lines are the Vitale pro lines
