Value sets

Value sets from professional hair brands: shampoo, conditioner and care products in one package, cheaper than buying them separately. Ideal as a gift or for getting a complete routine at home. Do check whether it is actually cheaper. A set is usually more affordable per millilitre than the individual bottles, but not always: sometimes it contains a travel size or a product you won't use. The volume per bottle is listed for each product, so you can compare. Sets are most useful when you are trying out a new range. Shampoo and conditioner from the same range are designed to work together, so after a few weeks you will know if it suits your hair — instead of guessing which part of your routine made the difference. As a gift, a set that is not aimed at a single hair type works best. A set for coloured or curly hair is fine if you know what someone has, but otherwise you can easily get it wrong. A universal range or a travel set is then a safer bet.
