Product Reviews - BEWARE!!

As a rehabbed product junkie, let me say this....I love love love a great product review.  There is nothing like finding a review on a product that you have been dying to try.  Let's face it!  Why spend your hard on money on a product and you have no idea if it may work, the smell, yadda yadda yadda....right?  Sure!  We all are money conscious these days and don't have money to wash down the drain (no pun intended). 

But let's be cautious.  How much do you know about an individual giving a product review?  Will it be an unbiased review?  Are they secretly being paid to "hype" a product? 

I just saw a video on You Tube and it was clear to me that the individual was being paid to promote a particular brand.  How can you tell, you ask?  Let's discuss below.

1)  When someone is overly hyped!  Hey...I love a great product too but guess what?  I'm not going to look like the women on QVC when I review a product.  No offense to QVC women but they could sell a pig bacon!LOL 

2)  Sounds rehearsed.  They reviewer probably wants to make sure they say everything that needs to be said and it comes out sounded scripted.

3)  They are strongly encouraging you to purchase the product and hey while your at it, purchase the entire product line.  Recommending a product is fine.  Strongly pushing you to purchase....beware.

4)  A good reviewer should give details on the products, lists pros and cons, if any, and state what it did for their hair.  Period.  No one else can insist that these same products will do the same for you. 

Just giving you food for thought and beware of bogus product reviewers!!
