Professional Haircare vs Supermarket Products – Why It Matters

At Hair at Central Canberra, one of the most common questions we hear is: “Is there really a difference between professional haircare and supermarket products?” The answer is simple—yes, and it makes all the difference to the health, strength, and appearance of your hair.

Ingredients That Work With Your Hair

Supermarket shampoos and conditioners often rely on harsh detergents, silicones, and fillers that coat the hair to give the illusion of shine but leave it dry and damaged underneath. Professional salon products, like the NAK Hair range we use and recommend, are made with high-quality ingredients that truly nourish, repair, and protect your hair.

Concentrated & Longer Lasting

Professional products such as NAK Hair are highly concentrated, which means you only need a small amount each wash. While supermarket products might seem cheaper at first, you’ll end up using more—and your hair won’t get the same long-term benefits. With NAK Hair, a bottle lasts longer while delivering visible, lasting results.

Personalised to Your Hair Needs

Not all hair is the same, and supermarket shelves can’t offer personalised solutions. At Hair at Central Canberra, our stylists match NAK Hair products to your exact hair type and concerns—whether that’s maintaining vibrant colour, controlling curls, repairing damage, or keeping your scalp balanced.

Long-Term Benefits of Professional Care

Switching to professional products like NAK Hair can:

• Keep your colour vibrant for longer

• Reduce frizz, dryness, and breakage

• Improve scalp health

• Leave hair softer, stronger, and more manageable

Why It Matters

Your hair is an investment. Using supermarket products can undo the professional work done in the salon, while NAK Hair supports and extends your salon results—so you keep that fresh, glossy look for weeks, not days.
