Review: TRESemme Naturals Shampoo and Conditioner

Yay me and my samples! Sometimes three days with a shampoo isn't long enough to get a good idea, or in this case, it was three days too long! Me and this shampoo did not get along at all! 

Overall thoughts: This shampoo was a total dud for me.  I had to use more product than I'm used to just to make my hair feel clean.  By the end of the day my thin oily hair was so oily I had to pull it back.  I also noticed less shine in my hair.  The conditioner seemed pretty basic, left the ends of my hair moisturized.  Overall, this was just not a good match for my thin oily hair.  I'm glad I got this sample because this shampoo was on my list to try, very glad I didn't buy the full size product.  

Review: TRESemme Breakage Defense Shampoo and Conditioner

I LOVE samples! I get teased by the boyfriend, but they do come in handy! They are a great way to try out things, especially if you have hair like me: thin, oily, with a sensitive scalp. I have tried many the dud shampoo so it is really fun trying out new ones to try to find a gem.  And if I can do it for free even better! 

Today I am going to share my thoughts on TRESemme Breakage Defense shampoo and conditioner.  These are 0.33 ounce samples, so I am able to get 3 good uses out of them.  

Overall thoughts: This one has potential! My hair was soft and not oily by the end of the day.  I can't really tell if it helped with breakage as I only used it for three days.  I didn't notice anything amazing, but it met my two biggest criteria: it didn't leave my hair oily and it didn't dry out my hair and make it seem more damaged.  

I know three days isn't very long to get an idea for a product, but I figure as I am having fun going through all the samples I have stocked up, might as well share the journey with you! 

Review: TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner

One plus side to being between dye jobs is that I can try out all my shampoo samples! (and the fact that this whole ombre hair color thing is in means my laziness makes me look *gasp* trendy!) 

Now lets start with my split ends. My split ends have split ends.  My hair is barely past my shoulders, and it is hard for me to get my fingers through my hair without getting tangled.  So when I see a product that claims it can reduce 80% of my split ends in just 3 uses, I was excited to get this sample! 

First Impression: Nice basic shampoo, good lather and rinses clean.  The conditioner isn't too thin and makes my hair feel very soft. 

After Day Three: I. Am. Shocked.  It actually works!!! My hair is much smoother and doesn't have a "poof" at the ends where the damage is.  I can run my fingers through my hair with no problems.  I still have split ends, but not nearly as many.  

Overall:  I had two 1oz samples and was able to last a little over two weeks.  I am beyond impressed by this shampoo.  My split ends are much less noticeable and my hair is silky smooth.  The fact this is an easily found drugstore brand that is frequently on sale sweetens this deal.
