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

Antifungal and nourishing ingredients like Zinc Pyrithione and Lysiene have scalp barrier strengthening properties. For a rejuvenating experience, the conditioner is especially designed to massage the scalp and moisturize the hair. This prevents it from tangling, making it softer and smoother.
Regular conditioners VS the TRESemmé Massageable conditioner
Usually conditioners are applied to hair and then massaged from midlengths to tips. TRESemme’s massageable conditioner is meant to be applied both on the scalp and lengths of the hair. Infused with marine minerals and essential nutrients, it penetrates the scalp leaving it nourished and moisturized to look beautiful. The TRESemmé massageable conditioner for your scalp gives your hair body, with the freedom to style your hair the way you like.
The TRESemmé Hair Spa is a ritual. Diana Penty, TRESemmé brand ambassador now swears by it to pamper herself. “It is very easy to get trapped in a stressful routine working for long hours. It leaves me tired and my hair dull and extremely lifeless. Earlier, I had to take out time for long hair spa sessions at the salon but now thanks to the new TRESemmé spa range, I can unwind, de-stress and rejuvenate at home!”

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.

Have you tried the new TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner ? Your views ?
So we had Daniel Bauer with us at the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger..he demonstrated a few hairstyles on 3 of the models..and also gave us some tips and tricks..
Here my model Priyanka gets soft curls done with a pouf..a very easy and quick DIY hairstyle.
I have a step by step GIF for you guys..
So, basically what the hairstylist did was :
1. Created a pouf and pinned the hair behind with the help of bobby pins.
2. Curled the loose ends with a curling wand.
3. Kept a bang ahead to soften the face.
4. Set it with the TRESemme hold spray.
The Final Look
All theseTRESemme products are going to be soon launched in India..I can’t wait to lay my hands on few of these..especially the hold spray.
If you have shoulder length hair, this is a super easy quick hairstyle you can try out.
Also, I got a chance to interact with Daniel Bauer..had met him before at one other event few years back.
The Corinthians Resort & Club, Pune- My Experience
Hey guys,
So if you read my post about the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger, you must have read we stayed at the Corinthians Resort & Club in Pune..And I wanted to share my experience of living in this beautiful space for 4 days..I am so going to miss all this..it was super fun..more so coz of this location.
About Corinthians: The Corinthians is today one of the finest 5 star clubs in Pune. It is s a bastion of luxury and elegance.

It will not be surprising if you find yourself absorbed in the fine particulars of nature, jewel-like details that would otherwise have evaded your attention. For senses dulled by the rigours of the city, our soothing environs will prove to be a welcome break.
Over the period of your stay, let us tempt your taste buds with delicious bursts of flavour from our master chefs.

They have three types of rooms: Deluxe, Superior and Suite..we were in the Deluxe room and each room was shared by two..so I was put up with one other blogger Shanaya.
They have 5 restaurants/cafes in the hotel: Salsa Global (Mediterranean and Indian cuisine), Pyramisa Multi- Cuisine and Resto Bar (multi-cuisine all day dining resto-bar), Oceanus Poolside Cafe, Oasis Pool Bar (in-pool, swim-up bar) and The 1st Brewhouse (They have freshly brewed fine quality Beer…and Apple Cider Beer is supposed to be the best. I liked it, did not love it though.). Every year they have a Beer Marathon 😀 So, beer lovers in Pune or those visiting Pune, you know where to head 😉
The hotel is super huge for all sorts of indoor (The Grand Ball Room, Alexandria,etc) and outdoor (Pantheon, Colosseum,etc) events. We were put up at Alexandria for the makeup and hair and nail art, etc and even our lunch and dinner..so we were practically living at Alexandria the whole 4 days. We partied at the 1st Brewhouse once and out outdoor adventure round was at the Cricket pitch and we had our grand finale at an open ground.
Alexandria is right above the pool area..so we could see people enjoying the music, DJ and having fun.
We had basic things for lunch and dinner but still every single time no subzi or dal or dessert was repeated..a different variety each time..and it tasted good too.
The pools and landscapes were beautiful and lush..you feel like just sitting and watching it all day long. My stay was pretty comfortable and memorable..I am surely coming back again..and would recommend it to all my friends too..
If you guys follow me on facebook, twitter or Instagram, you must have seen that I was at Corinthians Pune this whole week for the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger show.

We kick off with a 3-day action packed event where 8 fashion models team up with 8 bloggers to participate in a multi-round reality game. The beauty will drive up the glamour quotient while the blogger will buzz social media with real-time updates, pictures and behind the scenes videos, straight from the heart of the action!
The event was being hosted by the celebrated VJ, Cyrus Sahukar. Top model Anusha Dandekar mentored the beauties and celebrity blogger Miss Malini mentored the bloggers. The event was followed by the Grand Finale – a power packed playlist of ‘American Swan Beauty & the Blogger’ that can be watched by all subscribers of the FameBox Fashion YouTube Channel.

Its produced by FameBox Network..Also, we had Lakme and TRESemme as associate sponsors and the location was Corinthians Resort, Pune.
Style Cracker was our styling partner..
So, the 1st day we left at 6am early morning on Monday for Pune..and the bus broke down on the Expressway 15 minutes before Lonavala and we were stranded..we had to wait there for another bus to arrive..and our whole schedule was running late then onwards..the profile shoot of bloggers which was to happen on the 1st day was postponed to next day morning since it was to be done in daylight and outdoors.
So we got all decked up and ready..and then went off to sleep, after shooting 1-2 videos that is,for the hairstyle and makeup :p Nothing productive. Next day morning we got our profile shoots done and then had to change for the 2nd round..the models had a swim wear round and later they had a task which was diving into the pool and getting a black bag with colored placards inside..and it was timed..so the top 3 girls who were quickest won points.
Swim and pairing round
The bloggers were given a bag each and had colored bands inside..and the models were holding the placards they fetched from the pool..and each model was paired with a blogger by matching the colors of the bands and placards.
All the models and bloggers paired
I got teamed up with Priyanka Deb Choudary..and our team was Team NLM (which stands for my blog, as we got only 5 minutes to think of a name..I could’nt think of anything!) She also came 3rd in the swimming round and that won our team some brownie points.
Me with my Model Priyanka
And we got a task of clicking 3 pictures of the models..The Oomph Look, The Wet Look and the Whacky Selfie of both..and all of us bloggers had basically turned into Atul Kasbekar clicking the models in their bikinis and sexy poses! 😀 Our team won the Best Click in The Wet Look category.
Our winning shot for ‘The Wet Look’
Next day we had an adventure round..where there was a series of tasks to do..like a relay..one by the blogger and one by the model..basically team effort. I got bruised knees coz of the tyre task and I was badly tanned/burned (4 shades darker) coz of shooting in the sun continuously for 6-7 hours.We were not in the Top 3 in that sadly 🙁
Adventure RoundJust before the Adventure RoundMe clicking my model in one of the tasks of the Adventure Round
We had Daniel Bauer for TRESemme who had come down to meet all of us..and even demonstrated 3 hairstyles on 3 models. It was followed by a Hollywood night..where we just partied and let our hair down at The 1st Brewhouse at the Corinthians Pune. I also got the Most Stylish tag by VJ Anusha and a compliment from Cyrus! Made my night :p
Daniel Bauer styling Model Surbhi’s hairGot the Most Stylish tag 😀
Next day we had the Talent Round and the Grand Finale. Lauren Gottlieb, brand ambassador of American Swan also joined us on the last day. We had some time to prepare for the Talent Round where we had 2-3 minutes to do anything we would like..unfortunately my model Priyanka fell ill after the adventure round and we could not prepare anything due to lack of time and we just sang..and we knew we had not put in the required efforts, so were not in the Top 3 in that too.
All of us before the Talent Round and Grand FinaleLauren! How hot is she..and how I love her #GirlCrush
This was followed by the Grand Finale and announcement of the top 3 teams for on ground activities..we were 5th on the basis of on ground activities due to the adventure round and the talent round.
But, on the basis of social media, I was in the 2nd position throughout on all 4 days. Now, once all the videos are uploaded on Youtube..it also depends on youtube engagement. So, let’s see how things work out. Thanks a lot for all your love and support throughout and I hope it continues later too 🙂
I loved the team and crew..very friendly and caring..we all hardly slept 2-3 hours in a day and were shooting continuously and the crew might be sleeping even lesser..still we all had so much fun! A nice experience to have..all the makeup and hair by Lakme and TRESemme, getting decked up before every shoot, the touch ups, the shoots, the OTF’s, everything..I am looking forward to the videos now..I hope they come out good..since it was the first time for me, to be on camera like this!
Thanks for reading, if you survived through the post 🙂 My small little journey of American Swan Beauty & The Blogger.

One of the favourite hair care brands of New York’s fashionistas, TRESemmé, has always been driven by a simple truth; every woman deserves to look fabulous as if she has just stepped out of a salon. Recommended by hair stylists all over the world, TRESemmé unveils the secret of split end rescued, salon style hair at home every day with the new TRESemmé Split Remedy Range.
Women often complain of a bad hair day and hide their tresses compromising on style. Split ends, as a matter of fact, may actually be one of the reasons why women experience a bad hair day and hide their tresses. Excessive use of heat styling tools, chemical processing, bleaching and prolonged exposure to sun are known to cause damage and may contribute to split ends. Most women believe a salon haircut is the solution to get rid of split ends. Unfortunately, it makes one compromise on length as well as hairstyles.
TRESemmé understands women’s intrinsic desire for salon gorgeous hair at home and the need to style hair without compromise. Hence, it introduces its specially designed Split Remedy range, for women seeking a solution to split ends and enjoy their beautiful length.
The new range incorporates Amino Vitamin Blend and helps to rescue split ends, resulting in – easier to style, more manageable, shiny and stronger hair.
TRESemmé Split Remedy Shampoo gently cleanses hair of oil and dirt while the TRESemmé Split Remedy Rinse Out Conditioner conditions hair strands leaving your hair look healthy and stay smooth. TRESemmé Split Remedy is a salon quality formulation with Amino-vitamin blend and helps rescue up to 96% of split ends with use of shampoo and conditioner in just three washes for healthy-looking, smooth hair ready to style.
TRESemmé Split Remedy is the new secret to Diana Penty’s scissor free tresses. “My hair undergoes a lot of styling on a regular basis and split ends would rob my hair off its near perfect polished finish. The solution I resorted to until now was a haircut which meant compromising on my length, which is very dear to me. With the TRESemmé Split Remedy range, I have found an appropriate solution. TRESemmé Split Remedy is a quick and easy solution to achieve split ends rescued salon gorgeous look without compromise.”
TRESemmé Global Hairstylist, Marcus Francis, “Each of TRESemmé’ variants is unique and is formulated to work brilliantly for specific hair needs. The new Split Remedy is an amazing product that helps tackle a universal hair problem allowing women to experiment with different styles and lengths with confidence. One doesn’t need to compromise on their style quotient by hiding or cutting hair.”
Speaking at the launch of TRESemmé Split Remedy, Srinandan Sundaram, General Manager, Haircare, Hindustan Unilever Limited said, “Indian women aspire to attain salon like gorgeous hair. We at TRESemmé understand this intrinsic aspiration and have addressed this need of hair transformation for women at home with salon innovations. TRESemmé Split Remedy is our latest offering that will help women achieve salon like hair without compromise.”
How does it work? The Innovative range contains Silicone, amino-vitamin blend and conditioning ingredients. All these ingredients from the formulation work in synergy to reduce split ends of hair fibre. The Silicone in the formulation has ability to form a lubricating layer on hair fibre.

What do you think of the new TRESemmé Split Remedy Range ??
Interview with Marcus Francis – Global TRESemmé Stylist
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 😀

TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo: • Keratin Smooth Shampoo, 100ml Rs.80/- • Keratin Smooth Shampoo, 225ml Rs.160/- • Keratin Smooth Shampoo, 600ml Rs.325/- TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Conditioner: • Keratin Smooth Conditioner, 100ml Rs.80/- • Keratin Smooth Conditioner, 225ml Rs.160/- I am reviewing the shampoo and conditioner today..At first, I was quite impressed with the lower sulphates claim and so wanted to see if it actually makes a difference..
I love how it smells and shampoo foams easily and cleans well..hair is less frizzy too…I am not sure about the lower sulphates claim but I definitely like the shampoo.
Conditioner is a little runny and not that moisturizing..I feel my hair remain dry with this conditioner..
Pros: 1. Claims to contain lower sulphates. 2. Hair is less frizzy. 3. Foams and cleans well. 4. Hair is sleeker and a little straighter. 5. Smells nice. 6. Convenient packaging and comes in different variants..the smallest is travel friendly too. 7. Economical. Cons: 1. Conditioner does not moisturize the hair well..hair still feel drier. Overall I would say I do like the shampoo and definitely recommend it..but you can skip the conditioner totally..I know they both are together of one range but I end up using a different conditioner..mostly Dove..coz thats what suits my hair better. Rating: Quality: Shampoo: 3.75/5, Conditioner: 2/5 Value for money: 3.75/5 Availability: 4/5 Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Would I buy it again : Shampoo: Yes, Conditioner : No Have you tried the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo, Conditioner ?
