Another hair product to review!!
I'm not sure when this range of products was brought out but from what I can gather they're fairly new to the market.
I've used Tresemme products for as long as I can remember (except from my blue hair stage) as they're cheap and cheerful and do the job that they're expected to do and well!!
I'd seen Tresemme's Platinum Strength range advertised on tele and also I had seen it posted around social networking sites and noticed a few bloggers blogging about it.
Tresemme boast that this particular range of hair care has the ability to visibly repair up to 2 years worth of hair damage whether that be through heat or colour or peroxide. As my hair has never seen its best of conditions since I made the choice to go blue, I decided that this was worth a shot.
The shampoo and conditioner come in bottles of 500ml which is you're average size bottle of shampoo or conditioner, however I am used to buying Tresemme in a larger 1000ml bottle as I share a house with my sister and we get through our fair share of hair care products. I bought these from Tesco a couple of weeks ago for £2.49 each however I did notice that this was half price making these bottles more expensive than my usual 1000ml bottles.
The products themselves look and smell like any regular shampoo and conditioner and the consistency's of both are thick enough so that it doesn't run off your hands yet aren't so thick that it is hard to apply. When I first used this product, I was pretty sceptical about how well it would work on my known for problematic hair, however just after shampooing I could feel a difference!!
My hair didn't feel as flimsy when wet as it had before using this product however it was only slightly less (this could be psychological as if you think something will happen, you believe it does, even if it sadly doesn't). After conditioning, my hair felt really soft and shiny - more so than when I use my regular shampoo and conditioner (again this could be slightly psychological).
I have now used these products more than the 5 times that the bottle recommends for the repaired "result" and I can honestly say my hair IS in much better condition!!
After just 3/4 uses, I noticed that drying and straightening my hair became a lot easier and that my split ends weren't as noticeable.
My hair does feel stronger than it did before and I am getting less breakage, but it is nowhere near as healthy as it should be if I hadn't dyed and damaged my hair using heated hair tools - which is fair enough, I wasn't expecting perfect hair and Tresemme do not claim that this will be the result. Tresemme clearly state that the products will repair the hair "visibly" and do not claim that you're hair will be healthier for using these products. I believe that this product has lived up to its expectations.
One thing I was slightly upset about when using this product, was its ability to wash out a lot more of my red hair dye than my usual shampoo and conditioner.
I don't think I will be using these products instead of my old shampoo and conditioner, but will more than likely come back to it every so often to improve the state in which my hair is in.
Final Scores:
Price: 3/5
Scent: 5/5
Results: 4/5
