TRESemme Rich Moisture Hydrating Shampoo Pack Review Leave a comment

Purchase it if you wash and heat-style your hair frequently and desire one set to do both. The TRESemmé Rich Moisture Hydrating Shampoo Pack comes in a shampoo and a matching conditioner; the listing claims that the system provides up to 72 hours of hydration.

It’s formulated without parabens, mineral oil and DMDM hydantoin. The compromise: protection against heat is a feature of this shower, so you’ll need a separate style spray. Ideal for frequent flat ironers and blow dryers who want moisture and protection for their hair during their shower.

Don’t bother for people looking for a single bottle, or a basic style that doesn’t need anything else.

Pros:

• Will list states 72 hours or more after hydration has been removed from the system.
• 2 x 28 oz bottles (shampoo & conditioner)
• Free from parabens, mineral oil and DMDM hydantoin.
• According to the listing, it is Certified Cruelty-Free by PETA.
• Heat protection from the shower onwards.

Cons:

• Listing: Packaging design could change from new to previous version.
• There is no complete heat protection without an additional styling spray, which is sold separately
• What Really Decides It With This Shampoo Set

There are three points that need to be taken into account to determine if this set is right for you, the length of time the hydration claim actually lasts and what the formula is missing, as well as the number of products the full regimen requires.

Hydration Claim – measured in days, not washes

According to the listing, the Rich Moisture System provides up to 72 hours of moisture. That’s a system claim, mind you, so it’s the shampoo and the conditioner, not the shampoo. You can get the hydration even if you wash every day, but it’s the headline number that’s not as important to you. Also, the word “up” is important; it is a ceiling and the listing doesn’t dissect it according to hair type.

The free-from list is brief and to the point

There are three ingredients that the formula lacks, as identified in the listing: Parabens, Mineral oil, DMDM hydantoin. This also states that it is Certified Cruelty-Free by PETA. That’s a tight list that is easily checked instead of a long “X everything” statement, which is much harder to compare with your current “no” list. In the absence of preservatives in the shampoo or if you do not like mineral oil, this set focuses on that. In a case where you are not eating any other ingredient, the listing will not convey that information.

Here, the starting layer for heat protection is to be emphasized

This shampoo and conditioner provide heat protection in the shower, according to the listing. It’s a great thing for everyone who blow-dries or straightens their hair as most of the damage from heat occurs while styling, not while washing. However, a longer application is listed as follows: Styling with Protecting Heat Styling Spray followed by Extra Hold Hairspray. This set is the first of three and the other two are sold separately. This is not that if you are looking just for one purchase.

What is in the box and what isn’t in the box

A 28 oz. bottle of hydrating shampoo and a 28 oz. bottle of conditioner are offered in a two-pack. This is the entire box. All other in the routine is an individual purchase: the listing points you to Protecting Heat Styling Spray for extra heat protection prior to styling, and Extra Hold Hairspray for finishing. So, the set saves you the work of washing and conditioning your hair while you get on with the styling part of the task.

It notes on one of the packaging that it will be limited time, may get new packaging, may get old packaging, it mentions that it may get the new packaging for some products, such as biotin shampoo. The same product, but different bottle on the outside. If matching bottles on your shelf is important to you, it’s a little bit of a risk. It’s a two-step hydration set and it gets the job done, as it has a clear “free from” list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it suitable for my hair type?

This listing doesn’t specify your type of hair so it will not confirm your type. What it does state is that the system is designed for dry hair and adds moisture to the hair. If you have an overall sense of dryness or dullness over oiliness or volume, the description leads you in the right direction. If you have fine, weight-sensitive hair, then verify prior to purchase.

Is there any other product I need to purchase to make it work?

No, the shampoo and conditioner use synergistically. The complete listing includes, however, and separately, Protecting Heat Styling Spray to be used before applying the styling and Extra Hold Hairspray to complete the look. If the spray is being purchased for protection against heat treat it as if it were the actual routine. PETA’s cruelty-free program verifies the PETA certification.

Should you buy a shampoo and conditioner set?

Yes, if both bottles are of the same size, which is the case here of 28 oz. each. Purchasing individually provides you with more freedom. If you purchase a set then you have a matched routine.

Should you purchase the TRESemmé Rich Moisture Set?

Yes, if you heat style frequently. A shower time heat protection, a hydrating wash step, and matched sized 2 bottles. You can use the free-from list and the PETA certification as a tool to check. If it’s a matter of full heat protection, just budget for the styling spray.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for one product that’s going to do it all, no. This set includes washing and conditioning only – the listing’s routine includes two additional steps. Instead, search for a leave-in or spray with heat protection that offers styling, or a two-in-one wash if you don’t want to condition a wash. The fair exchange is: this set has the wash well and requires you to purchase the rest.
