Famous brand or domestic?

Good day friends
It's almost 3 pm here, and I've been feeling lazy all day. More than half an hour ago, I dyed my mom's hair, and now I'm going to fix her hair a bit, make curls, since she has very thin and thin hair, I'm going to try to add volume with that hairstyle. I never buy the same color, mostly brown tones, but I always forget which one I bought last time. 
Mostly she doesn't complain. 
I always buy her Loreal paint, but now they are very expensive, even on sale, so I bought the domestic brand for the first time, which was twice as cheap. I was not optimistic, but I was very surprised, because the color covered all her gray hair.
Have you almost surprised yourself with a new brand? Or that something cheaper turned out to be better than expensive brands?

Uhm... why don't you keep the end flap from the box in your purse so you know the color you bought before? I'm sure your mom looks lovely and will look even better when you finish with her hair.

@Nevena83 Uh huh... too lazy to dig the end flap back out of the trash?
Don't tell your mom some guy made a good suggestion. She'll think you made me up.

@DaddyEvil O yes. My mom often complained why I was getting her different hair colors, but I convinced her that every next one was great.

I have always used L'Oreal cosmetics. I am used to using this brand, and I am not willing to change to other brands. I like to wear white T-shirts in summer. I usually buy cheaper and domestic ones. Because it will turn yellow the next year, I only wear it for one year and throw it away. If it is a household appliance to be used for a long time, I will buy general brands, such as Midea, Suber, LG and Haier.

@zhangxueying Well that's wonderful. I like to support local producers. I haven't dyed my hair yet, but I believe I will someday.

@Nevena83 In the summer of 2022, I bought a hair dye for the first time. I bought a domestic hair dye in the supermarket. I compared the other prices. I chose a hair dye with a medium price. I spent 26 yuan, which is equivalent to US $3.9. After I use it, I feel that it has no irritation to the scalp, and I have no symptoms of allergy.

I don't find that I need brand names items all the time and that other brands work as well. I"m sure your mom looks really pretty with her new color and curls.

Yes, a lot of less brand products are just as good. Get the name out of the trash. So you can get it again.

I find most generic brands to be fine. Some are as good as the original or even better in some cases.

The branded is really expensive. I don't.know how to identify the newly bought items if they are the same. I suggest you put a mark on the box on your next purchase.
Your mom would definitely like her hairstyle.

You're right, branded stuff is really expensive. Yes, I will definitely buy the same brand of hair dye again, because it performed really well.Do you have a favorite brand?

When it comes to food, I often prefer the local or generic brand over the expensive national brands. But for most other things, I prefer the name brands.

Yes, I will definitely buy this brand again. In the past, a high price indicated quality, but for several years this has not been the case anymore.
