Now I know a lot of us believe that the more we pay to slay the more we “around the way” (a little L.L. Cool J for ya) but the truth is, that is not always the case. Rather, we can save our chips (aka: money) and spend it on other things like drinks with the girls or for that trip to Europe we have been dreaming about. You know where I’m going with this. 😉
Bascially, what I am saying is you don’t always have to spend a lot to receive quality.
Being that I have been on both ends of the spectrum in beauty I have learned enough to share a diary full of secrets and more. Everything shared in category OBSESSED is that of my own knowledge because I have seen, I have heard and I have tried. This is the first of many dupes (aka: duplicates) I will share with you along the way. I thought to start with a hair care product that I have used off and on for years. I had never left … until now, because it rocks! You may know it as Pureology.
Pureology was created specifically for the salon care professional and their clientele. It is a sulfate-free product and has an Anti-Fade Complex system infused in what feels like luxury. It also ensures salon care vibrancy with each wash. There is a color care system available for all hair care concerns as the range is quite broad. While this sounds wonderful, there is a price to pay and it ain’t cheap. You are looking at $29.99 a bottle!
That’s a lot right!? We are all guilty of the paying the hefty price tag for beauty products.
Well, I have good news for us today! There is a color care system available at most retailers, specifically Target, and it is priced beyond reasonable. This product not only mirrors the packaging (it’s actually nicer) but also mirrors both the features and benefits of Pureology. I swear by this product as it has it will give you everything Pureology does with a price tag you can afford. I color my hair 1-2 times a month (I know uugh) and it has repaired and restored my hair follicle and has also enhanced my color , its longevity and vibrancy. Let’s just say, I am very pleased. I mean, I am writing about it!
The product I am sharing with you is … Drum roll please! …. Loreal Paris Hair Expertise and it retails for ONLY $6.99 a tube. Just like Pureology, they carry many systems to address all hair care concerns. There are a total of 6 systems.
You have your Color Care System, Replenishing System, Curl Care System, Smoothing System, Moisture System, Hair & Scalp System and your Brass Banisher System. ALL are sulfate free and serve different purposes and in some cases similar but different. I have listed them all below both in category and concern.

Note: When empty, I suggest switching it up once or twice by trying others within the line. By the time you’ve done that, I will have provided other dupes. 😉 Until then shine with confidence cause we fierce!
All words and creative direction my own.
