I have always been keen to try expensive things because i am careless enough to assume that most things that are more expensive are better. This is the case with some things, as quality is something i perfer over quantity, but the question is is it worth it? i've always bought top branded shampoo such as john freda, mark hill, etc, (these might not seem expensive to some people, but they are for a student) and i've always had a good wash. Although i've had a batch of dry skin on my neck recentley and dared to try Head and Shoulders colour care shampoo and conditioner. I was very worried as i thought my hair was going to smell and look horrible from this cheap shampoo which was half the price as normal. I washed, and my hair turned out beautiful, verging on the extent of better than all the leading brands i've tired, as well as helping out my dry skin. This begged me to think about other expensive products i buy and ask if they are worth it, especially for a student with no part time job and living of grants and generous donations. Has anyone ever thought about this too?
