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.

MRP: TRESemmé Ionic Strength Shampoo 190ml Rs. 185, 580ml Rs. 415

TRESemmé Ionic Strength Conditioner 85ml Rs. 94,  190ml Rs. 185

Ingredients Shampoo:

Ingredients Conditioner:

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

Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner Review

Hi guys,

So Dove has launched new ‘Nutritive Solutions’ (called ‘Advanced Series’ in US) and Oxygen Moisture is their first launch as a part of it.

What the Company claims: The new Dove Oxygen Moisture range comes with an advanced solution that gives your hair the balance of moisture and volume. This new range with innovative Oxyfusion Technology can put an end to your daily dilemma, leaving you with hair that is beautifully nourished, smoother and looks 95% thicker.

Dove Oxygen Moisture shampoo is a transparent, lightweight formula comprising of oxyfused moisture ingredients that instantly disperse on the hair. This formula helps to gently cleanse and nourish hair, leaving it beautifully bouncy, and full of natural volume.

Enriched with the Oxyfusion technology, the Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner delicately moisturizes dry and dull hair, restores smoothness and leaves hair looking thicker. With the new Dove Oxygen Moisture, you no longer need to choose between well moisturized hair and natural volume. Oxyfusion technology for Dove promises you both! So leave your hair worries aside, and breathe life into dry, dull hair

Dove Oxygen Moisture Shampoo

Directions to use:

1. Apply shampoo through wet hair. Lather and rinse thoroughly.

2. For beautifully smooth and bouncy hair follow it up with New Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner

MRP:  Rs.83/80 ml, Rs. 176/180 ml, Rs. 292/340 ml (Buy Dove Shampoo)

Ingredients:

Dove Oxygen Moisture Conditioner

Directions to use:

1. After shampooing, apply along the lengths of wet hair, focusing on ends.

2. Keep for 1-3 minutes and rinse off thoroughly.

3. Use conditioner every time you shampoo for beautiful, smoother hair

MRP: Rs.91/80 ml. Rs. 194/180 ml (Buy Dove Conditioner)

Ingredients:

I have already shared a mini review of this in my August favourites YouTube video HERE. I have been using it since more than a month now. This is the first Dove shampoo that is in transparent, gel form. The packaging of  both the shampoo and conditioner is like the usual Dove range with a flip top cap. This one is white and blue.

Also the transparent gel like formula of the shampoo has a slight blue tint. The conditioner is white and creamy and rich like usual conditioners.

Now I have used Dove quite a lot and it has always worked for me, but many told me Dove gives them major hairfall. The only reason I see is that the Dove shampoos were always very rich and if someone has thin or fragile hear prone to breakage, the richness of the shampoo would be weighing down the hair causing breakage. I have never experienced any hairfall with any of the Dove ranges though. But this range is perfect for all of you did not like the previous ranges, coz this is very light and not that rich.

This shampoo will not weigh your hair down and will not give any hairfall. In fact I love the way it cleanses thoroughly and gives a nice bounce and volume to the hair. The conditioner is rich though but if you apply it only towards the ends, it should work. And the hair will retain the bounce.

I love the fresh smell of both the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is well behaved from the time I have been using this combination. There have been no frizz issues and I get the desired volume and bounce too with the smoothness of course.

Sorry I am unable to find the swatch pics in the folder, would update later.

I am happy with the price point too, and these smaller bottles are good to carry for a trip too.

Overall, I am loving this range and definitely recommend giving it a shot.

More details here (Also get a chance to win a free sample): http://bit.ly/1BaiQnK

MRP: Rs.42/- for 90ml (plus 20% extra currently-108ml)

As I mentioned in the previous post, I have not been oiling my hair much from the last one year or so and does the need some nourishment as it has also turned drier.

Tamper proof flip cap

I got to try this new Dabur Amla Hair Oil. I like the new packaging and the flip cap which shuts tight, does not spill and dispenses only the desired quantity. It has that typical amla oil smell, but does not bother me much and a light green tint.

With the change of weather and water, my scalp is super itchy these days. I really needed something to soothe the scalp and reduce the itchiness and flakiness. It did exactly that and the scalp feels so much better.

Its not very sticky and heavy and does not give the chip chip feel. I did not notice longer or thicker hair as such, coz I anyways have a good length of hair and it grows quickly and also coz the time period is still too less to conclude that. Stronger yes, also coz of less irritation to the scalp and less dandruff issues in winters, if oiled regularly.

But one needs to use it continuously to see results. Amla also helps people with premature greying of hair. Those who use amla oil regularly from a young age still have rich,dark hair in their old age. (Have seen quite a few examples)

I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Wella SP Luxe Keratin Boost Essence Leave in Treatment Review

What the Company claims: LUXEOIL KERATIN BOOST ESSENCE
This luxurious leave-in Keratin treatment contains formula with oils and selected amino acids which boosts the hair structure from within. The treatment infuses into the hair to reconstruct and strengthen the keratin, instantly aligns hair fibers and builds resistance for weak hair.

Application: Spray 6-8 pumps on wet hair to facilitate easier combing. Ideal as a cutting lotion for hair that needs deep reconstruction. Do not rinse; dry as usual.

Formulated with nourishing jojoba, almond and argan oils, as well as amino acids, the treatment ensures your hair stays smooth, soft and supple, whilst preventing moisture loss and offering protection from environmental aggressors. A wonderful multi-tasker, this fabulous product will leave your hair exuding lustre and vitality.

SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL LUXE OIL uses a reconstructive Transform Technology that benefits hair inside and out, while protecting it from damage:
• Hair texture feels up to 10 times smoother after just one application.*
• 3 times more Keratin Protection, providing instant and long-lasting, smoothness.**
• Leaves hair looking healthy and naturally beautiful.
• Hair is easy to style every day, thanks to a special, lightweight oil formula.

Ingredients: Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Cetrimonium Chloride, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panthenol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Polyquaterniu,-11, Glycerin, Citric Acid, Parfum, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Threonine, Histidine, Glycine, Arginine, Alanine, Argana Spinosa Kernel Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Camellia Oleferia Seed Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Amyl Cinnamal, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool.

MRP: Approx. Rs.1500/- for 100ml

Wella SP Luxe Keratin Boost Essence comes in a transparent gold spray bottle form with a small cap to cover the nozzle and looks like any body mist.

Its very very light in texture unlike any hair serums, and has a soft floral smell. Easy to use, just spray and leave it on.

It does control frizz to some extent and adds some shine to the hair. It does not weigh the hair down since its very light. And the best thing is, it is silicone free. It detangles the hair and also works as a heat protectant. Blow dry after using this, for best results.

For me personally, I need a little heavy oil based serum for the frizz to be completely controlled. (may be coz of the silicones) So if I have to choose one, I did go for a heavy serum like the Streax Pro Argan Secrets Serum. But there are days, when I choose this over a heavy serum. There is also a Luxe Oil Reconstructive Elixir in this Wella SP Luxe Range, would try that out next.

Its surely on the expensive side and not easily available too.

Those of you who find serums heavy or they make your hair greasy, this is the perfect choice. I would love to try Wella Professionals Oil Reflections too, have heard a lot about it. (Its not from the Systems Professionals Range though)
