Overview
Nexxus built this smoothing shampoo to clean without sulfates or silicones while laminating the cuticle with Biomimetic lipids. Protein actives repair the strand from inside, and the formula carries no scent.
Gentle cleansing for frizz-prone hair is the angle, suited to anyone avoiding sulfates and fragrance. Its humidity claims are made for the full shampoo and conditioner system, so using it alone will not deliver the whole effect.
Who it's for
People with dry, frizzy hair and a sensitivity to scents fit this shampoo well. Someone after a clarifying wash for heavy product build up should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- No sulfates or silicones
- Unscented and hypoallergenic
- Smooths and adds shine
- Protein actives for strength
- Full frizz claims need the matching conditioner
- Lather level not described
Performance notes
Instead of coating hair with silicone, the shampoo deposits a lipid-like layer that repels water, which slows the swelling humidity causes. Smoothness builds with use alongside the conditioner, and the protein actives target strength from within.
