    Default How Much Do You Spend On Your Hair...?

    Sooo....it was revealed in one of our 'celeb gossip' magazines this week....that Rihanna spends £14,000.00 A WEEK on her hair stylist......

    .....that's THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILLION POUNDS A YEAR.......ON HER HAIR...!!

    I do a lot of my own - so my stylist costs me £50.00 a month tops. How about you ladies...?

    I spend about £30 a month. I'm very low maintenance. I found good home dye and good products which last forever. I get it trimmed once every two months. Easy peasy!

    I am soooooo low maintenance, its almost kind of embarrassing. I dye my own hair out of a box of $3 hair color. Call me crazy, but I honestly think it looks better and damages my hair less than the salon. I get a trim really rarely, like every 6 months. And I make my own extensions for work.

    It can vary, really. I need a touch up for one thing, but I've had a few bad experiences w/hair dressers lately. So, I don't know, can vary.

    I do my hair myself... because hair dressers, to be honest, are largely lacking in skill and I do a better job 90% of the time.
    I probably only spend $50 or so on my hair a month, if that. I'm growing it out right now, which means not a lot of styling and such... so I need fewer products.

    My hair is something I don't mind splurging on in the least - it grows so slow that I like taking good care of it and causing it as little damage as possible. And it makes me money at work, so it's really an investment.

    That said, I'm going to echo Desu - I have no faith in 'properly trained' hair stylists. I do it all myself, at home. Occasionally if I don't have the time or room to dye my own hair (like when I was living in a hotel last year) I'll go to a training college to get it done. I prefer training colleges becasue I can just tell the stylist in training exactly what to do and what products to use...and they're happy to listen. They don't take creative license with my hair the way veteran hair-stylists/colorists do.

    I spend about 30/month on my hair between shampoos and dying/root touchups. Buying proper colouring tools/products at Sallys is so much cheaper in the long run than buying boxed dyes at the drug stores. And the products are higher quality and easier to work with.

    I can understand why Rihanna spends so much on her hair - it's a huge part of her image.

    $130 - $200 every 6 or 8 wks. But I'm neurotic about upkeep. And I mess with it a lot.

    TOO MUCH!
    and the funny/shitty thing is it's not professional stuff.

    Hair dye (like once a week), extensions, shampoos, bleach, serums, wigs, etc...

    it's little bits at a time though.

    This past month, I probably spent around $200.... and I HATE my hair right now.
    When if, I would have just spent that money one time at a salon getting everything done exactly how I wanted, then MAYBE I'd be happy....but it's easier to spend in little bits than one big chunk I guess. :/

    gonna end up spending some more soon, for extensions....

    then probably more after that because I'll get sick of the color...

    so yeah, it's kinda non stop.
    (I actually just wrote a blog about how I have hair anxiety or a hair obsession.) It's bad.

    Twice every 6 weeks for color: one highlights, one color to break my base when the dark starts to come out too prominently against the blonde. That's prob about $100-120, but my hairdresser and I are friends so I get a good deal.

    Cut it once every 2 or so months, maybe 50 or 60, depends on what she tells me.

    Then there are products, which she gets me at "cost" when she buys her other products w her license. This varies too. So, probably about $1,300 per year. But I bleach it and have very damaged fine hair so it needs lots of care.

    When I stripped and had extensions I spent well over $4K annually. Ouch.

    maybe $20 a month on product (shine serum, mousse, hair spray, shampoos and conditioners), and every two months about $100 on cut, style, and color.

    Im pretty cheap w/ my hair.. I get root touch ups every 2 months and thats 40 bucks (since we live in the same building, she does it there). Shes the only one who can get my color right w/o using bleach either. She does a free mask on me which is usually 10-20$ in salons. I buy everything from her.

    I usually buy big bottles of shampoo too (which range around 50 bucks but last a whole year). Thats pretty much it, i take a lot of vits (biotin) but those arent monthly costs as they last me 3 months. So if I add up my hair expenses a month they're very low

    Oh my gosh, now I spend nothing. I used to regularly get tons of blonde highlights and brazilian blow outs and buy expensive ass products.......

    Now I covered my fake blonde with a demi in my natural color and use baking soda and apple cider vinegar for shampoo and conditioner. No more Brazilians. So I think I spend maybe $7 every few months on my hair lol!!

    About $70 a month, this is including hair products that may have to be replaced as well as salon stuff.

    I get my hair cut once a month. My old (and amazing) hairdresser cost $12 per cut. I always gave her a tip so it evened out to $15. She was incredible!!!!!!!! Anyway, since I moved, I'm not going to drive like three hours to visit her (oh and I don't have a car so it's impossible anyway). So I spend under $20 every few months to get my hair cut.

    Umm shampoo is $3, conditioner is $3, I don't know how often I get it.

    Oh there is this other thing I put in my hair after I get out of the shower sometimes. Like a leave in conditioner. I don't know how much that cost me. It's the orange Herbal Essences thing. Anyway it's cool because it keeps my hair from being staticky.

    I have a hair spray bottle and a mousse bottle. Hair spray has been used ... three times? Mousse - I just got it a couple months ago and haven't used it yet.

    I don't do much to my hair. I love my hair how it is. Aha. I'm low maintenance for that. As long as I wash and condition it, then it's good to go!

    I spent $85 to get my hair cut and highlighted on monday. But the last time I got my hair trimmed was in February so it was very much needed..

    I'm constantly spending money on expensive hair products.. Living in socal has given me the worst hair problems of my life. It's sooo dry and unmanageable, I'm always looking for a product that will make it soft and silky. I buy pure argan oil from whole foods and pour it on my hair every night, as well as using expensive Kerastase shampoo and hair masks. I don't even want to think about the amount of $$$ i've spent on oils, conditioners, and serums

    And the search continues!

    about 50 cents a month. I have my own hair scissors and I trim my own split ends.

    I buy my shampoo and conditioner at the dollar store. instead of conditioning my hair in the shower I put it in my hair before I go to bed and tie it up and it's silky smooth when I wash it out.

    I don't dye my hair or do any treatments EVER and I get more compliments on my hair than anything else.

    I'm a penny pincher and I don't care!

    Hmm... probably less than ten dollars including shampoo and conditioner and whatnot. I don't get my hair cut that often and it needs a break from styling and whatnot right now. Lots of heat damage!

    So TRUE!^ I know of two right now I'd like to do that with..the last one, I'd been going to that salon for years. Not only did she not do what I asked, she did not touch up my roots all the way.
