When you are shopping for shampoo in the supermarkets or shops selling hair products, you know there are so many to choose from and it can be tough to know if the expensive brands are really worth the extra money and if all the remarkable comments regarding the benefits your hair will receive from their shampoo are actually true.

According to hair care product reviews by experts most shampoos are effective at cleaning your hair, however all the other things the shampoos claim they can supply may not be true or they may be overstating their benefits.

Hair Salons

Notably hair salons also sell hair care products and they always claim their products are superior to the products you can purchase at grocery stores, however some experts have claimed in reviews that the hair salon products also overstate their benefits. The FDA only has regulation over the ingredients listed on the label thus the manufacturer can claim all sorts of benefits and their products don't have to exactly provide the benefits.

Be wary when you read the shampoo bottle, especially when you discover the claims on repairing or nourishing damaged hair. This is because most shampoos can only provide temporary assistance with regard to the look of your hair. Some experts specify in reviews that they have doubts that natural ingredients found in shampoos can indeed be effective at cleaning your hair. Let's take a look at some of the popular shampoos.

Well Known Hair Products

1) Bumble and Bumble

A popular as well as expensive salon brand named Bumble and Bumble has become popular and a couple of hair care product reviews have stated that their shampoos are gentle on their hair and work well at cleaning hair. The Bumble and bumble Alojoba shampoo received good reviews and a couple reviews mentioned that the product was effective for normal as well as dry hair. In addition to that it did not create a build up in their hair.

2) Clairol's Herbal Essences

Paula Begoun has made many hair care product reviews and she suggests using an anti-residue shampoo such as Neutrogena Anti-Residue once or more per week to scrape any residue you might have in your hair, especially for people who apply a volumizing shampoo to their hair. Numerous reviews by consumers have claimed that Clairol's Herbal Essences is one of the best shampoos for the low priced shampoos. Some reports have claimed that Clairol's Herbal Essences work just as well as the high priced salon brands and is significantly less expensive.

Head and Shoulders

Head and Shoulders is one of the least expensive dandruff shampoos but it doesn't always work for people who have a serious case of dandruff and they may have to use stronger dandruff shampoos. According to experts Head and Shoulders had fewer side effects than other store brands.

It's a good idea to check out hair care product reviews before buying shampoos and other hair care products.

These two musicals juxtapose two set of lovers from different countries and different eras (turn-of-the-century Vienna and contemporary New York)to illustrate in witty song and potent dialogue how the rewards (and problems) of romance remain relatively unchanged over time. *** 5 Tony Nominations! ***

It has been stated that by just reducing (not eliminating) environmental carcinogens alone, we would save 50,000 lives annually from cancer. We don't have to live this way. There are safer alternatives that are being phased into the market place. All we have to do is know the facts and buy responsibly.

So, what can you do?

Be creative in how you clean. Make homemade cleaners and air fresheners. There are many different organic concoctions that you can make to clean your house effectively, such as vinegar or lemon juice.

In the end you will be happier when you and your family are not as sick as much. And who knows , you might save one of your family members from a deadly disease!!!

Buy Green. Its that simple. Read labels, and if you cant pronounce the names on the label don't buy it. Anything that ends in "-cide" is more than likely not going to be good for you or your family.This is a list of the top 12 cancer-causing products in the average home. It was put together by the National Cancer Prevention Coalition.There are even chemicals on our mattress!!! You are probably asking yourself, "For what?" Well, to make the mattress "safer" they use PBDE's to flame retard your bed. Also to make it stain-resistant they use PFC's. These chemicals are known to cause cancer and also are known carcinogens!! There are around 4000 chemicals used in our everyday cosmetics and personal care products. About 95% of these chemicals are traced back to petroleum. Manufactures do not reveal the actual components of the products but rather mark them as "trade secret". Phthalates (shown to disrupt reproductive systems and cause breathing problems in children.) , There is a 54% higher chance that a women who works from home will die from cancer than a women who works outside the home. There are 150 chemicals in our homes that are connected to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological disorders. Since 1950 there has been at least 70,00 new chemical compounds introduced into the environment. Only a small percentage has been tested for human toxicity!!!!

"Clairol Nice N Easy Gray Solution Hair Color, Medium Ash Blonde #8A - Kit"

"Clairol Nice N Easy Gray Solution Hair Color, Medium Ash Blonde."

Marilyn Monroe left the world suddenly and unexpectedly forty-five years ago this August but since that fateful day her popularity has not waned. In fact in many ways her star has continued to shine even more brightly. The further away that history takes us from this tragic icon, the closer the world wants to reach back to her in order to learn about her, discover all the details of her brief life and connect with her in any way possible.

One connection that bridges her past with our present is the ability to view her personally owned items. These items provide an insight into various facets of Miss Monroe's life history including her career, her personal interests, tastes and hobbies, as well as particular journeys along her life path.

One specific individual who can chronicle the late legend's history this way is the owner of the World's largest authentic collection of Marilyn Monroe owned items, Mark Bellinghaus.

Mr. Bellinghaus' interest in Marilyn Monroe was sparked at the age of nine upon his first glimpse of a photo of the superstar. His admiration continued into adulthood at which time
as a successful actor in Germany, he decided to immigrate to the United States to study at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute in Los Angeles, the school started by Miss Monroe's very own acting coach. While residing in Marilyn Monroe's hometown, he began to amass a collection of her authentic belongings, which in turn have become a reflection of the actress' life story.

Mr. Bellinghaus' collection is comprised of such gems as costumes from her movies including the one-of-a-kind purple, blue and pink colored cape from her film The Prince and the Showgirl. Personal apparel items are also highlights of his collection such as her orange Emilio Pucci Blouse and white bathing robe. She wore both items in one of her last photo sessions with famed photographer George Barris. The latter of these two items was also said to be worn by Miss Monroe on the day of her death.

Many of the furnishings from the late star's modest Brentwood home are a part of The Mark Bellinghaus Collection such as her Mexican copper mirror, her dining room table, her welcome bench, her coffee table and many beautiful paintings, pieces of pottery and even the call bell that Miss Monroe utilized to summon her housekeeper Eunice Murray.

Within this collection there are uncountable personal documents and unpublished photographs including the negatives as well as personal mementos and other items which can be the most treasured keys to unlock a person's character and story. These include one of two birthday cards given to Miss Monroe on her 34th birthday while on the set of Let's Make Love and also books from her personal reading library. Her sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses are also part of Mr. Bellinghaus' collection as well as her authentic wire hair curlers in which the goddess' blonde hair is still intertwined.

It is because of Mr. Bellinghaus' expertise in authenticating Marilyn Monroe items that he has participated as a renowned specialist and consultant for major auction houses. With his astuteness in this area he was able to recognize that a 2005 Marilyn Monroe Exhibit aboard the Queen Mary contained many suspicious items including Clairol Hair Rollers said to contain the real hair of Marilyn Monroe. Upon his personal investigation it was discovered this brand and type of roller was manufactured in 1974 and Clairol was not even in existence at the time of Miss Monroe's death in 1962. The exhibit which was scheduled for a worldwide tour was subsequently shut down after the credibility was questioned by Mr. Bellinghaus and Ernest Cunningham, author of The Ultimate Marilyn. Together they published their findings in two blog articles and then proceeded to file a class action lawsuit against the Queen Mary.

Following this disappointing exhibit, many are left with a craving for the opportunity to view genuine Marilyn Monroe owned items. Mr. Bellinghaus has already shared his stunning collection with thousands while it was on display at the Hollywood Museum for four months. Paris Hilton and her parents were also honored guests who had a chance to marvel at this prestigious collection.

And once again thousands are clambering for Mr. Bellinghaus to share these wonderful treasures with the world. In response he is currently seeking investors for an incredible exhibit proposal to tour his incomparable collection around the globe.

For those that are considering supporting this amazing exhibit, please view this video below for more information and photos about the largest, most comprehensive and 100% authentic Marilyn Monroe Memorabilia Collection in the world.
