TRESemmé

I knew it would be a longshot to try an over-the-counter i.e. drugstore heat protectant but I was waiting for the good stuff to come in from an online order so I bought this on a whim. At first it seemed to work OK but that was it. I have a THICK/wavy/curly/frizzy /dry/wild/layered/long/damaged, have I mentioned BIG hair? This added to the frizz and made my hair totally unmanageable. Had to put it into a top bun & call it a day! Even that was a struggle. If you have hair like mine you'll find it heavy like a thick layer of sludge weighing down hair. Better products are multipurpose; (oily/moisturized/smoothing effect of Kenra’s blow dry mist or (creamy) kerestase nectar thermique, If Theres a drugstore product that works let me know! I’d love to save money, but usually find quality suffers in relation to price point.

Acne sufferers beware! I really liked this conditioner because it REALLY softened my dehydrated 2b wavy/frizzy hair. But it gave me small pimples (acne cosmetica) all over my cheeks. I didn't suspect it until I cut bangs and started getting nasty pimples where they were sitting. I switched to trader joe's tea tree conditioner and immediately the acne has cleared up. I am acne-prone as it is and I'm not sure what ingredient(s) in this product caused this problem.

This was decent at keeping my hair untangled and shiny, but I felt like my hair needed more moisture. I also got worse back breakouts while using this and felt like my neck itched from it. I have a feeling I was allergic, and I seem to be to Tresemme products in general so far. I'll be steering clear of this brand to avoid reactions.
