Description

Hair is made up of protein. Every touch, every treatment, every style you love—it all rewrites your hair’s protein. When protein is damaged, hair’s look and feel are compromised. That’s why Nexxus uses protein science not just to repair hair but to restore its ability to perform. It isn't about one perfect hair day. It's about a lifetime of healthy hair, built strand by strand. When hair is prone to frizz, several critical protein-related issues occur: the cuticle becomes disrupted, the protective lipid layer breaks down, and porosity increases—allowing water to penetrate the fiber. This exposure swells the hair, leading to frizz and compromising its ability to maintain a smooth, consistent structure. ULTRALIGHT SMOOTH®, our smoothing collection, is powered by FRIZZ DEFLECTOR™ technology with Biomimetic 18-MEA to restore hair’s natural lipid layer and create a hydrophobic barrier. The system includes a weightless shield that forms an invisible barrier to fight frizz without heaviness, delivers instant shine by sealing the cuticle, and provides hydration without weigh-down to leave hair soft, smooth, and bouncy. This smoothing shampoo also features protein strength actives to repair hair internally for lasting strength and healthy hair and is sulfate-free and silicone-free. System laminates the cuticle for an ultra-smooth finish, deflecting humidity and locking in shine—so hair stays sleek, soft, and frizz-free for up to 72 hours. Nexxus, the protein science behind powerful hair since 1979.

    As a fan of nexus this one is definitely not for us, my daughter and I must be allergic to something in this product as our scalp is so irritated and itchy.

    Does NOT reduce frizz

    Very disappointed, this is marketed to reduce frizz, it does not do that AT ALL. It actually made my hair less soft

    Great lightweight shampoo!

    Think I’m one of the hair/scalp types that works with this line from Nexxus My hair and scalp overall do very well with this brand, and I have a sensitive scalp I always wash twice before conditioning personally, and this is definitely a perfect lightweight shampoo, doesn’t dry my hair out any more than my hair already is I have wavy and frizzy hair, I’d say the frizz factor for this line only works once you have dried and styled it after, otherwise doesn’t affect my hairs natural state But overall I love this!

    Not for coarse hair

    This helped a little with frizz, but not as much as I hoped, given the price is twice what I was paying for Garnier Sleek n Shine. Not really great at conditioning my hair either. The search continues.

    Looks so good

    I've been working a lot on getting my hair healthy again after dying and bleaching so much and trying to get it to fade away too, this makes my hair look and feel so healthy and this has always been one of my favorite brands for hair products. This specific shampoo is really great though!!

    Nexxus Ultralight Smooth

    This shampoo did exactly what it said it would do. It smelled good but was not an overpowering scent that I smelled all day. Worked extremely well with the matching conditioner. Will buy again for sure.

    Drying and not as advertised

    I have long fine wavy/curly hair that is frizzy. This was very drying and caused my hair to be tangled and fall out more during washing. The matching conditioner didn’t reduce frizz either. My hair was very frizzy, dry, and tangled after using. I don’t recommend this product unless you want a clarifying shampoo that is drying. Too bad because the scent is a nice light sweet jasmine.

    Love it!

    I’ve been dealing with extreme dryness the past 6-8 months and have tried so many shampoos/conditioners but nothing worked! I decided to really research it and found out we have hard water so I bought a Jolie shower head (filters your water) and started using this shampoo/conditioner combo. Holy WOW! My hair no longer feels like straw! It’s so soft and silky! I read a lot of bad reviews on this shampoo and I honestly don’t think it’s the product but the actual water people shower with. Just my two cents on what helped me if you’re in the same predicament. I actually like this better than my bumble & bumble products!

    Not worth it!!

    The shampoo was very thick, and goopy feeling, it did not lather very well at all, and my hair DID NOT feel clean when I used it. I followed the shampoo with the matching conditioner, even worse. When I rinsed the conditioner out of my hair, my hair felt so dry. I thought I missed a product that was supposed to be used with these, nope. My hair already feels dry because it’s bleached, so I was looking for something that would help moisturize. I only wash my hair twice a week, but it still dried it out so bad. Definitely not worth the money they want for it. I will never buy this brand again, as this was a terrible experience!
