Wrong Products and Vendors Will Harm You: Advice For Choosing Rightly

Wrong Products and Vendors Will Harm You: Advice For Choosing Rightly

The perfect product for you was never meant to be a trend or one-size-fits-all, because every woman is different. Yet, with so many skin, hair, health, and lifestyle products on the market today, many women have resorted to trial and error to figure out which ones suit them best, and few ever do without running into some serious problems.

If you’ve ever struggled to find the right products for your specific needs or wondered who to trust when buying, this article is the help you need.

Why Product Fit Matters

Selecting the wrong product can not only be a financial waste but also negatively impact your overall health and self-esteem. And recovering may require even more money, time, and effort. As a result, when choosing a product, it’s more important to focus on your body, hair, skin, and health than on trends. Not everything that works for other people will work for you. 

How to Determine The Right Products for You

In sourcing the right product, “focus” is key. What are you trying to fix or achieve? This answer helps you pick a product for your specific need instead of an all-rounder, because a product with extensive functionality may take longer to achieve the desired result as its strength is distributed across multiple areas. If you want thicker hair, for instance, choose a product that targets that need rather than one designed for thicker, longer, darker, and fuller hair altogether. One step at a time does the magic, and most times, “less is actually more”.

Next is to ensure you understand “you”. What is your skin type? Dry, oily, or combination? Sensitive or tolerant? For a quick test to determine your skin type, wash your face with a gentle cleanser, pat it dry, and wait for 30-60 minutes without applying any products. Then, observe how your skin looks and feels. If it is shiny all over, you have oily skin. If it feels tight and flaky, it is dry skin; if it is oily in the T-zone but dry on the cheeks, it is combination skin.

What kind of hair do you have? What does hair growth look like in your family? How fast or slow do products work for you? What is your budget?  All of these ensure you are not going overboard or putting too much pressure on yourself or the product.

Next, look for several products that solve similar problems, investigate their main ingredients, and seek advice based on your newfound knowledge to determine the best option. Before making larger purchases, test out small batches to see how they work for you.

Finding the Right Vendor

A good vendor significantly reduces the chances of receiving a subpar product. For overall safety and to prevent waste, ensure you have a reliable source for your products.

Work with These Guidelines: 

  • Check for credibility and reputation; look for sellers with verified badges. An online brand that meets platform trust standards will have a blue or green checkmark or “verified seller” tag next to the username. For offline brands, verification may include a business license and registration certificate, which may be displayed on the wall or sent upon request, as well as detailed brand receipts.
  • Look for customer reviews that are detailed and not overhyped. Visual feedback and rating consistency can help. 
  • See how long they’ve been in business and active online; it’s safer to buy products from a long-term brand. 
  • Contact details should be consistent, whether phone numbers or physical location.
  • Prices should not vary depending on the customer; rather, they should be transparent. So should delivery and policy patterns.
  • There should be no pressure to buy immediately, but minimal follow-up is fine. 
  • Use referrals: If you know someone who has solved a similar problem, ask for their vendors. This is not to copy, but to let the vendor use their experience to help you with yours.
