Tresemme Split Remedy Split Mend & Protect Leave in Treatment

Hi everyone!

Hope you're well! Sorry for being a bit quiet recently, it's a busy time at work at the moment.

Anyway, enough about that, I've got to tell you about this wonder product I've come across!

The Split Mend & Protect Leave in Treatment from Tresemme's new Split Remedy range http://www.tresemme.co.uk/Products/Split-Remedy/

I received a sample with my New Look delivery a couple of weeks ago so I'm assuming the two companies must have some sort of promotion type thing going on at the moment.

Mine came with 10ml samples of the Split Mend Shampoo and Conditioner and the leave in treatment.

I remember buying a Tresemme shampoo and conditioner when it first came out about 7 or 8 years ago but if I'm being perfectly honest I didn't really like the products and my hair just didn't get on with it at all!
So while I wasn't overly fussed about trying the shampoo and conditioner I was intrigued by the leave in treatment.

I haven't got particularly bad split ends but I am pretty lazy when it comes to having my hair cut (I haven't stepped foot in a hairdressers since March! Shocking I know) so anything that will attempt to make my dry ends look a little bit smoother is always good in my book!

According to Tresemme their leave in treatment gives 'the look and feel of a salon fresh cut for longer' helping to 'repair split ends by up to 80%' with a noticeable difference after the first use.

Their instructions are as follows:

• Start with the Tresemme Split Mend Shampoo and Split Mend Conditioner
• Dispense 2-3 pumps of treatment into hands. Distribute through towel dried or damp hair, concentrating on the ends. Do not rinse.
• You can also apply a small amount on to the ends of dry hair for added smoothing and conditioning throughout the day

Simple enough eh?

I didn't exactly follow the instructions word for word, I used my Aussie Mega shampoo and Mega Instant conditioner, followed by a spritz of Lee Stafford's Poker Straight Flat Iron Protection Mist before running some of the leave in treatment through my hair.

On the instructions it specifies 'pumps' however there was no pump on the sample so I blobbed a generous amount onto my hand and smoothed through my hair particularly concentrating on the dry ends.

If you've used leave in treatments before then its pretty standard in how it looks and feels.

In all honesty I wasn't expecting that much of a noticeable difference but my hair did feel a whole lot smoother and even after a few days the ends still felt pretty soft.

I didn't bother applying it throughout the day (I did actually intend on doing this but always managed to forget!) so I can't really comment on whether that makes it more effective when used like this and in conjunction with the other products within the range but it has definitely made a difference, even my Mum commented on how smooth my hair looked!

I've just used up the rest of my sample and I am definitely going to invest in this! I figure that with prolonged use it will certainly help my hair.

While I appreciate that it doesn't have quite the same effect as lopping of the dead/split ends at a salon it works well for me!

The actual product comes in a 125ml bottle and retails for £5.69 so it won't break the bank (another added bonus!) and is currently available in Boots, Superdrug, Tesco, Asda, Waitrose and Ocado.


If anyone else has used this I'd be interested to know what you think?

Lots of love
