So I have never tried Nexxus prodcuts unless they were used on my hair in a salon. I always passed them by in the drugstores because they are so dang expensive. Well Rite Aid was offering a $6 off 2 purchase a while back and I paired it with some $3 coupons I received in the mail and from a friend and they were offering 50% off or $10 off $20 purchase or something along those lines. So with all the savings, I could get Nexxus for like $3 a bottle. Why not? So I actually have 3 different varieties, the first I tried was Nexxus Dualiste Color Protection Volume Shampoo and Conditioner, the green bottle.
I was dying to finish up the shampoo that I had in the shower to try this out. First of all it has dual formulas in each bottle, a color protection side and a volume side. It has a nice scent, kind of fruity. You have to take the cap off and pump your desired amount so it's a little more complticated than flipping the cap and squeezing. I thought it was kind of fun, you do have to hold the bottle at a 45 degree angle and if you have some soap on your hands it does get a bit slippery... The shampoo has a great lather but I found that the conditioner did not have enough for my type of hair. The formula works amazing on my daughter's hair however leaving it tangled free. I however have to follow up with a leave-in conditioner. My hair is thicker and color treated. Is it my favorite Nexxus product? No. I liked the Therappe Luxurious Moisturizing Shampoo much more. But I would use John Frieda Root Awakening any day over this more expensive brand for sure.And on to my second Nexxus review...
Love, love, love this stuff! Thankfully I bought it with the dualiste because I needed it! Love the pina colada smell and how light weight it is. Usually by this time of year my hair would be electrically charged. It is also a wonderful detangler and it doesn't weigh down the hair. However it is pricey and I would never have picked it up if it wasn't on sale. But then again, I can be pretty thrifty...
