If you've ever reached into the back of your bathroom cupboard and found an old shampoo and conditioner bottle, than you could have stumbled upon a winning combination. TikTok user and certified trichologist Abbey Yung recently explained why your locks may feel and look more luscious after using a drugstore branded shampoo and conditioner rather than a high-end brand.

'Everything you have ever been told about drugstore haircare is a lie,' Yung began an eye-opening video shared to her TikTok. 'The reason why your hair instantly feels drastically better after using a drugstore shampoo and conditioner is either because of the sulfates, the silicones or both,' she explained.

The expert added that there are 'too many' haircare brands that have removed sulfates and silicones from their products, which means they don't clean your hair properly. 'Not because it's better for your hair and scalp, but because it's part of a marketing strategy to be able to label their products in a certain way that make it more likely to for you to spend their money on them,' Yung claimed.

However, the hair expert said there are 'two huge issues' with the tactic. The expert explained that when brands remove effective cleaning agents, like sulfates, from shampoos, they remove the ability of that shampoo to give your hair and scalp the proper cleanse it needs.
