Tresemme Smooth and Shine Shampoo Review

April 1, 2013 / 35 Comments

Hello ladies,

My apologies for bombarding you all with reviews upon reviews. You see, though Lancy was away I was still writing and now I got to get them all out.

This time it is a shampoo that I am reviewing. It is new in the market and also a much hyped one. I am writing about Tresemme shampoo for dry, rough hair. Now this brand is a very popular drugstore brand abroad especially in the United States. I have heard plenty of good things about their heat protectant sprays in particular and shampoos and other hair products in general. So naturally when I saw this one launching in India, I had to have it. The ‘for dry rough hair’ bit got me actually. Let us see how it has fared for me.

Price & Quantity:

Rs 64 for100 ml.

 

Shelf Life: 24 months

 

My Experience:

Packaging: This one is in a black plastic bottle with pink print on it J which makes it look attractive. I do not know how to describe the opening. Do check the picture for that. I personally am not a fan of such an opening. It makes it a little messy with a little shampoo being left which then dries up and gives it a not so pretty look as you can see for yourself from the picture. Travel friendly though.

 

Color, Fragrance & Texture: The colour is white as you can see from the swatch. The fragrance is very shampoo like. I do not find it any different from other shampoos. Nothing to like or dislike about.
The texture too is like any other shampoo! A little too runny???

 

Swatch:

My Opinion: Last winter as always my hair was wreaking havoc on me. I was so unable to tame it, not that it is any different now but much better though. I was frantically looking up reviews and products for dry and rough hair. I was so surprised to find that Tresemme had launched in India and one that was catering to dry rough hair totally got to me. But then again I did look up for more reviews before purchasing it. As it was a newly launched product, I did not find that many reviews, but, Tresemme being Tresemme I picked it up along with the same conditioner.

The first time usage is always the best time. There is so much of anticipation of how it would fare. I have to admit that I was disappointed by the outcome. First of all, its does not live up to its claim of hair that is smooth and shining. In fact I had to use more product than usual to remove the oil. I leave oil overnight in my hair. All this even while using the conditioner of the same variant. I feel that it made my hair more rough than smooth. I am not a fan this shampoo and it will take a lot of convincing until I pick up anything else from this range in the near future. It made my hair frizzy and unmanageable too. I tried this shampoo with some other conditioners I had with me but that too did not seem to work in my favour :(. My craze for anything ‘foreign brandwala’ has taken a beating which is a bonus but otherwise it is a definite NO-NO from me. Here I would like to mention that I have shoulder length hair step cut. Also water conditions too play a major role in shampoos working or not. So, taking all that into consideration I leave the choice to you.

PROS:

  • Availability.
  • Not pricey.
  • Travel friendly.

CONS:

  • Not sure if it lives up to its claims.
  • Not a happy customer :(

 

Rating: 1/5

 

Do I Recommend?:

Personally I will not recommend it to anybody who is desperately hunting down a good shampoo.

 

Would I Repurchase?:

NOPE!

My name is Nicekp. I am a mommy of two boys and reside in the southern part of India. I am a novice when it comes to real makeup but I like to indulge in the basics. Skin care and hair care are my areas of priority especially since I do not find a lot if time for it. I love to write as well and hope that all of you find my reviews a good read as well as useful.
