Product Review: TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth™ Collection

I was lucky enough to be blessed with thick, straight hair—the ideal wash-and-wear hair type—which is great because that’s how I roll. But even wash-and-wear girls need help in the form of good products. My hair tends to dry out easily, so I look for moisturizing, smoothing formulas that tame frizz and restore healthy shine; if they don’t cost a small fortune, even better.

Enter TRESemmé®. Their calling card has always been “professional, affordable,” and their new TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth™ collection is the latest in a long line of salon-grade products at drugstore prices. TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth™ promises smooth, easy-to-style hair thanks to a lower-sulfate formula that moisturizes better and infuses hair with keratin (a key protein in healthy hair and nails). In other words, it sounds tailor-made for my hair concerns. So how does the collection stack up?

Based on three weeks of testing, TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth™ definitely lives up to TRESemmé®’s reputation for delivering results. The Keratin Infusing Shampoo ($5.99 for 700 mL) produces rich suds that cleanse gently from root to tip without stripping hair of moisture. The Keratin Infusing Conditioner ($5.99 for 700 mL) is surprisingly rich with a texture akin to face cream; it coats every strand while detangling.

With TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth™, my hair feels smooth, healthy and blow-dry ready straight out of the shower. So it stands to reason that the final product in this 3-step regimen, the Heat Protection Shine Spray ($5.99 for 236 mL), isn’t a heavy moisturizer but a lightweight protectant that promotes shine. (Tip: When spraying, hold it away from you at arm’s length to get more even product distribution.) A quick comb-through and blow-dry later, I have groomed-looking locks sans the “I just washed my hair” dryness and frizzies.

So, would I purchase the TRESemmé® Keratin Smooth™ line on my own? Yes! The products are well-priced and effective. But I might not have to do it anytime soon because at a whopping 700 mL per shampoo/conditioner bottle, it’s going to be a while before I run out.
