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!
good and honest review dear…I too didnt like it….Worst purchase ever!!! Infact I tried one more variant f Tressme, tressme Climate control…Tht too didnt wrk for me….
Thanks Renji, am happy to know that I am not the only one here because it is such a popular brand. Thanks for stopping by :)
Thanks for the info that Climate control too is a bummer. Saved me some hair there ;).
ha ha LOL! :P Were you thinking to buy it Nicekp? Even after such a worst experience with this smooth and shine one? I am forgetting about the brand Tresemme this day!
Kinda contemplating I must confess. Moreover there was an offer for buy one get one free on a website. I was planing to get conditioner and not bother about shampoo but now NO WAY. (You see how it is with buy one get one free marketing strategy…..)AND now I know why they have this offer on their website; nobody’s buying even one!!! =))
Ha ha ha so true! 7:) 7:) or a 1 on 5 Rating, :-q I won’t use it even if they give me for free :)) :)) :)) :))
I’m not happy with them either :(
Hi Sudhaa, I like your blog. Been there a couple of times :)

Chemical build up? That’s too bad! With such a worst product, why are they claiming so much.. like salon soft hair :P :P I am confused..
