Review: Tresemme Platinum Strength Shampoo and Conditioner Last week I was fortunate enough to meetup with Chloe and Hayley in the Bullring to finalise some plans for the #brumbloggermeet on the 20th, and after having some munch in Ed's, I decided to pop into Superdrug and Boots on the hunt for the new Tresemme range. Although it was 3 for 2 in Boots, the whole range was better than half price in Superdrug so I picked up a few (all) of the things to try out, and first up is the shampoo and conditioner. In case you haven't seen the advert, I will link it below. This is one of those things where when I first saw it, I burst out laughing to my mother's bewilderment. The notion that washing your hair 5 times with this, and you'll have the beautifully wonderful hair you had 2 years ago, before you all became obsessed with straightening and dyeing your hair a different colour every few weeks, is literally ridiculous. Yet, the blogger in me thought that for the benefit of you lot, I would try it out!

Review: Tresemme Platinum Strength Shampoo and

Conditioner

Last week I was fortunate enough to meetup with Chloe and Hayley in the Bullring to finalise some plans for the #brumbloggermeet on the 20th, and after having some munch in Ed's, I decided to pop into Superdrug and Boots on the hunt for the new Tresemme range. Although it was 3 for 2 in Boots, the whole range was better than half price in Superdrug so I picked up a few (all) of the things to try out, and first up is the shampoo and conditioner. In case you haven't seen the advert, I will link it below. This is one of those things where when I first saw it, I burst out laughing to my mother's bewilderment. The notion that washing your hair 5 times with this, and you'll have the beautifully wonderful hair you had 2 years ago, before you all became obsessed with straightening and dyeing your hair a different colour every few weeks, is literally ridiculous. Yet, the blogger in me thought that for the benefit of you lot, I would try it out!

So I have used this set 6 times now since I've bought it, in an attempt to fully gauge it's healing properties and all I can say is...

Bullshit.

My usual hair routine is a double wash and a long condition, so I didn't stray from my usual pattern and continued doing this. Now, as a whole I find it quite difficult to use Tresemme in Birmingham due to the water-type, as I feel it leaves some kind of residue on my hair, and this is no exception. I try not to overwash my hair so that it can try and recuperate from the years of dyeing it's been subjected to, but with this I have to wash my hair at least one more time a week because my roots get oily so much quicker. The one blessing to this residue makes your hair quite soft, which I guess could be good if you wanted nice soft hair for the night.

Since using this, I've found very little different in the quality of the ends of my hair, and if anything they are slightly frizzier than they used to be when I've no tried styling it at all. Sadly, my hair still feels dry and hasn't really shown any signs of improvement. One thing I will give to them though is that the products smell really nice, they're just not really living up to the hype that's surrounding them right now.

I am really disappointed with this duo, but I will be trying out the rest of the range to see if there is any salvation in my £12 investment. These both retail for £4.99 here and here, although I'd try to get it on offer in Superdrug if you can! If you've tried them out please let me know what you think. I will continue to use these as I now have a waste-not-want-not attitude, but I think I'm looking forward to moving on to something else!
