I've used Nexxus Therapy Shampoo along side my Humectress Conditioner for over 30 years. The hair salon my mom took me to as a teenager always used it and it quickly became my go to. I recently added the thermal leave in conditioner to my regimen and I must say at 53 years old with a bit of gray shining through and post menopause my hair is still as silky and smooth as it was when I was in my 20s!! My 28 year old daughter swears by it too. Love our Nexxus Products! ❤️
Love it!

This product has a very strong flowery smell, so if you don't like strong smell I do not recommend. Also, it left my hair super grease.

Does the job for heat protecting and styling, doesn't tangle my hair like some sprays, it has an interesting smell though, smells like chemicals. Not sure if I'll re-purchase because of that.

Like the smell. It’s like no more tangles for adults. Definitely helps with my age related dry hair issues. Use on wet hair. Def feels softer/smoother but I’m always going to have flyaways with my thin naturally curly hair
Okay.

fitchh15 - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is okay. It’s kind of thick when you spray. I have fine hair so I feel this weighs my hair down a little. I put it on my dry hair, maybe it will be better if I put it on wet and blow dry. But it does make my hair softer. The smell isn’t great but it’s not the worse. I don’t know if I would by this again.
