TRESemmé Ionic Strength Range Shampoo, Conditioner Review
Hi guys,
So after I finished using the Dove Oxygen Moisture Range, I tried this new TRESemme Ionic Strength Range and here is my review.
What the Company claims: This innovative range is inspired from salon treatments that “reconstruct”and “repair” hair that has been exposed to styling and in the process,weakened and damaged. The Advanced IONIC Complex in this new range nourishes the hair and forms a protective shield, allowing it to withstand the potential damage due to heat styling tools and frequent brushing, while also reinforcing hair’s natural strength. Gentle enough for daily use, TRESemméIonic Strength ensures your hair is strong and beautifully soft making it manageable, like you have just stepped out of a salon.
How does the product work?
Using an electric appliance on your hair can damage it. Damaged hair has more negative charge. TRESemmé Ionic Strength technology with ionic complex contains positively charged ingredients which get attracted to the negatively charged damaged hair, making it smoother. When used with Ionic Strength conditioner it helps restore and nourish your hair, reinforcing its natural protection to damage.
It comes in the trademark TRESemme black and white packaging with a press button flip to open and shut. Also it has the same runny white shampoo and a thick white conditioner as the other TRESemme ranges. Smells also almost the same. My favourite TRESemme Range was the Split End Remedy one, that reminds me it’s been ages I have not used that and should try that again soon!
The shampoo foams amazingly well and cleans your scalp and hair nicely, it is very hydrating and moisturising, so it actually would hydrate the dry, damaged hair as claimed. I don’t have dry hair and neither is my hair chemically treated or colored, so I did not see much of a difference in that. But it definitely left my hair softer and smoother, only thing being since my hair is not dry, rich shampoos kind of weigh my hair down and I do not get volume and bounce.
I love volume in my hair and the Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo actually used to give me amazing volume, since I used this shampoo directly after Dove, it was a straight comparision in my head and that is the only thing I don’t really like in this shampoo. However the same thing is a boon for dry, damaged hair.
Conditioner is rich and hydrating again, it untangles all the knots left while washing the hair and makes your fingers slide through the hair easily. I do like rich conditioners especially for the end parts of the hair and I quite like this.
At Rs.185/- it is slightly expensive than other shampoos and conditioners, but the difference is not much. I like it when brand has different sizes available and the smaller ones are perfect for travel.
Overall I would say, if you have dry, damaged hair, use a lot of heat, coloring, etc, this range will work really well on your hair. However, if your hair is normal, not very dry and you are not into coloring or heat, I would suggest using the Dove Oxygen Moisture Range. If I have to choose one for myself, I would go with Dove. I like this range but it is not my favourite

I had been trying out the TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner as I had mentioned HERE and had even shared on my facebook..from about 2-3 weeks..
And now its time to review them. First of, I am loving the bright green colored packaging..the smell and feel of this shampoo and conditioner is totally professional salon kinds.
Both the shampoo and conditioner are white in color with normal texture..not too runny..have a nice fresh smell..that stays throughout the day! They have a easy flip cap packaging.
The shampoo lathers amazingly well..you do not need lots of it..it foams well, cleanses well..and gets rid of all the dirt and oil in a jiffy.
The conditioner is not the heavy moisturising kinds..but does its job well..I work it especially towards the end..since its meant to mend split ends..
If you read the ingredients carefully, you would see Keratin, Bition, Vitamin E, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, etc which are all very good for the hair. It definitely gave me healthy looking, smooth hair as per their claims!
Now, I do not have much of an split ends problem, so cannot comment on the difference it makes. But what, I love about this range is, it is super light weight and gives my hair the shine and bounce..even the next day..I love how my hair feels after using this! No frizz, no weighing down, no greasiness. Only nice smelling, shiny, bouncy hair.
You can see my love for this range and how much my hair loves it.. my hair stays well behaved with this range.
I surely recommend this range..its my current Holy Grail! Highly recommend it.

TRESemmé’s Global Stylist, Marcus Francis was in India recently and was available for email interviews.
Marcus decoded a few hairstyles from Mercedes Benz Fashion week and elaborated on trends this season, his association with TRESemmé and much more. See the hairstyles HERE.
About Marcus Francis :
From the shows at Paris Fashion Week to a celebrity photo shoot in Los Angeles, Marcus Francis is showing his wide range of creating beautiful hair across the world.
Moving to Los Angeles in 1999 from Seattle, Washington, Marcus soon discovered that his innate talent for hair styling was more than just a hobby; it was his passion that would allow him to combine his love for Hollywood, fashion, and travel. When he finished his education in cosmetology, Marcus pursued both cut and color at various salons, the last five years at Jonathan Salon in West Hollywood. His appeal and talent crossed over to the fashionistas in New York City where Marcus worked at Robert Kree Salon. He soon joined forces with Vogue and W to style for events with designers such as Versace, Bally, and Ports 1961. While juggling a career in Los Angeles and New York, Marcus expanded into television. He was cast as a style expert on the television show “Style Her Famous” on the Style Network. Marcus also started the AOL makeover show “Hairapy”, which lead him to commercial work for TRESemmé India and style Diana Penty.
After 2 years of being bicoastal, freelance hair styling became a part of the next phase in Marcus’ career by assisting on photo shoots and fashion shows for legends Guido, Danilo, Sam McKnight, and Orlando Pita. Marcus became a part of the shows at Fashion Week in New York, Milan, and Paris for designers Prada, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Balenciaga, and many more. Marcus’ work also captured the cover of fashion’s WWD magazine in February ’09 during NY Fashion Week. Marcus has styled the tresses of such celebrities as Salma Hayek, Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst, Kerry Washington, and Marisa Tomei to name a few for events like the Cannes Film Festival and Academy Awards. He has also worked in film doing hair for screen legend Lauren Bacall, shot with famed photographers such as Mark Seliger and Norman Jean Roy, and his work was featured for magazines such as Vogue, Interview etc.
So I asked him these basic questions..
1.Hairstyles that are ‘IN’ globally?
Ans: Braids and buns are the two hairstyles that are in today. You can wear them in different styles, accessorize them and style them as per your requirement. A bohemian braid can do wonders and looks chic and feminine or a side swept bun also adds glamour.
2.What hairstyles would you recommend off the ramp for daily wear? And how to do them?
Ans: A chic side bun incorporated in your daily style looks great. You can wear it at work or accessorize them with embellished bobby pins for a party, this braid will work wonders. Steps to achieve a chic bun:
1)Part your hair to one side – your part should start directly above the middle of the eyebrow on whichever side you choose to part it.
2)Pull all your hair around behind your head over to the same side that you parted it on – pin it in place at the back of the head to keep it to that side.
3)Using a fine-tooth comb, back comb the hair to give it body – you can go a bit nuts here and don’t worry about how messy it gets.
4)Using a brush, brush the surface of the hair lightly to smooth it down – don’t brush to hard and remove all the teasing you have just done. Re-pin the hair to the side.
3.Which TRESemme products are your favorites and Why ?
Ans: My favorite TRESemmé product is the Climate control shampoo and conditioner as it leaves your hair moisturized and nourished. 4.Some easy DIY 2 minute hairstyles explained.
Summer side swept pony
1)Part your hair to one side – your part should start directly above the middle of the eyebrow on whichever side you choose to part it.
2)Pull all your hair around behind your head over to the same side that you parted it on and tie it around with an elastic
3)Tie part of your pony with bobby pins inside and let loose the remaining part of the pony.
4)You can embellish the pony with flowers to make it look chic.
Natural Waves
1)Wash and condition your hair well with TRESemmé Smooth and Shine shampoo and conditioner.
2)Blow dry your hair to form natural waves.
3)Let them loose by applying little serum to give the shine.
So were the questions helpful ? Are you going to try these hairstyles ?
P.S: I know he is hot, if you are thinking the same 😀
If humidity has left your hair frizzy and un-manageable, it’s time to change the way you address your hair care needs and find looks that work best for you. TRESemmé puts together a catalogue of the right hair styles and products that will make your hair ‘season proof’.Two simple yet ubér chic styles for this monsoon are the ponytail and the hair bun. The possibilities are endless with these two easy hairstyles and they are just as effective at the gym as they are on a dinner date.
Pony ‘tails’
A ponytail is a brilliant option for monsoon. It keeps the frizz under control and makes it more
manageable to redo if you get drenched when you step out. This simple hairstyle has been given a
new definition and has been experimented by many celebs on the red carpet.
Try a sleek, immaculate ponytail placed high on your head or pull it down to one side. No matter which look you choose, remember to keep the frizz in control with a little help from TRESemmé.Wash your hair with TRESemmé Climate Control. Shampoo and Conditioner to tame the fly aways. You can also curl your hair before pulling it into a ponytail.
Accessorize with a colorful floral headband or tie a bright colored scarf to your ponytail.
Pull out some strands of hair over your face for a more stylish effect.
This keeps the hair in place and still keeps you looking ready to hit the streets anytime you want
Trending Buns
One hairstyle that never goes out of vogue is the Bun – it is classic and timeless. This hairstyle is truly versatile as you can personalize it depending on the occasion and your attire. Moreover, not only does this hairstyle ooze oodles of feminine grace and charm but you can also glam it up in various ways.
Lightly brush your hair and gather all of your hair on one side, behind the ear.
Take a bungee band and form a pony tail. Hide the bungee band by covering it with a piece of hair.
One by one take the pieces of hair from the pony tail
Turn the pieces round and pin them up with bobby pins around the pony tail.
Take each piece one at a time a follow the similar procedure.
Don’t forget to wash your hair with TRESemmé Climate Control Shampoo and Conditioner to tame the fly aways before starting the bun
Stock up all your hair on top of your head in a ballerina bun, also known as a top knot bun. Another good option is a messy bun. If you are late for office or work, tie up your hair loosely in a messy bun. Looks stylish and is a quick to do hairstyle too.
Doughnut Bun
Get the wet and sassy look with a sleek doughnut bun this season.
To attain the look, de-tangle your wet hair with the TRESemmé Climate Control Conditioner.
Tie a high ponytail using a thick elastic hair band.
Cover the band completely by spreading the ponytail, which now resembles a doughnut.
Secure it using a small elastic hair band. Tuck in the excess hair around the bun using bobby pins. You are ready to face the downpour with panache!
Three rides on a pony
To strengthen hair before styling, massage your scalp with TRESemmé Climate Control Shampoo.
To begin with the section ponytail, pull your hair from the forehead, using the top layer of your hair and make a half ponytail.
Take the second layer of your hair and make a second ponytail.
Grab the remaining hair and tie the third pony near your nape.
Open up the hair a bit that connects two ponies to give it a messy touch.
Twisty style
To start with, wash your hair using TRESemmé Climate Control Shampoo, to add the extra sheen the hairstyle demands.
Now grab small sections of your hair and twist them in the form of snakes and tuck in place using bobby pins. Tie the larger section of your hair into a bun at the center of your head.
Voila, you’re all set to flaunt the wet look with élan.
