Tresemme Anti-Breakage Shampoo and Conditioner | First Impression

We all know I love trying new shampoos and conditioners. Someone recently sent me the Tresemme Anti-Breakage Shampoo and Conditioner set and I wanted to focus this week on giving it a try. Let’s chat about this week’s wash day and my first impression of the Tresemme Anti-Breakage line.

The timing of this week’s wash day was a little off because I decided to do a mid-week wash day…my scalp was itching like crazy. I normally experience excessive itching when my hair is growing or I have product build-up. I knew product build-up wasn’t the case and concluded it was a little hair growth taking place. Woot! Woot!

Pre-Poo: I skipped the pre-poo step this week to accurately judge the Tresemme Anti-Breakage products.

Shampoo: I use the anti-breakage shampoo starting with my scalp and working my way down to the ends. I didn’t apply any shampoo directly to my length.

Thoughts: My hair did not feel stripped and I didn’t experience any tangling during the shampooing process

Condition: I applied the conditioner to each section and detangled. After I finished, I left the conditioner on until I finished my shower.

Thoughts: The conditioner gave me great slip and I didn’t have to use my V05 to detangle. That was great that I could skip the V05 step and save a little time.

Deep Condition: I deep conditioned overnight using Jessicurl Deep Treatment (a protein-free conditioner) mixed with hemp oil and raw honey. I put on a plastic cap and sat under my bonnet dryer for 30mins. Then I let it stay in overnight.

Treatment: I rinsed the next afternoon and used my Roux porosity control. I let Cherrelle (my hair) air dry a bit before I applied my leave-ins.

Leave-Ins: I used a Paul Mitchell leave-in, Hawaiian Silky 14 n 1, Dudley’s PCA, Aphogee Vitamin spray, ORS moisturizer, and castor oil. Yes, it’s a lot but a couple of things were running out and I also use different products on my roots, length, and ends.

First Impression Of the Tresemme Anti-Breakage Shampoo and Conditioner:

Overall, I was happy with the shampoo because it left my scalp clean without stripping my hair. The conditioner had great slip and eliminated my need to use a separate conditioner to detangle. However, I really did not see a difference in strength after I used both products. As a result, I needed to add a strengthening treatment.

If you are looking for an inexpensive line that has great slip and very light protein, the Tresemme Anti-Breakage Shampoo and Conditioner will work great. If you need a little extra protein, you will need a separate protein treatment. I think it’s a good line if you are protein sensitive or have low porosity.

You can find the shampoo and conditioner at almost every drugstore. I know my local Walmart, Dollar General, and Family Dollar carries the line for $4 each.
