Neutrogena Triple Repair Hair Care System Review

First things first. I received this product free of charge from BzzAgent in exchange for my honest opinions.

I received the Neutrogena Triple Repair Fortifying shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment.

I have very thick, curly, frizzy and damaged hair.  I need products that will minimize the frustrations that come everyday with my hair type.

I must be honest and let you know that I am very skeptical of the typical drug store brands of hair care.  I haven't been very successful with them in the past.  Needles to say, I was skeptical of this product, as well.  It also made me nervous that the package sizes were small in my opinion for shampoo and conditioner.  With my hair, I usually have to use a lot of product to feel like I am getting my hair clean.

The Shampoo

When I first used the shampoo, my initial impressions weren't that great, but they were better than I imagined.  I could feel the texture was thicker than most other brands, but not too thick, so that was a plus.  It definitely has a good scent to it, not overpowering, but just enough to make me feel good when I use it. I am a sucker for a good scent. It lathered in my hair very well and it really felt like it was more of a high quality shampoo than other brands, and that made me very happy.

My problem came during the rinse.  My hair didn't have that silky soft feeling that I was hoping for, but I also wasn't surprised.  It felt very straw like and kind of like a squeaky clean feeling, which is something I don't like for my hair.

The Conditioner

My first impressions of the conditioner are pretty much the same as the shampoo.  The texture was thick, but not too thick.  To me this is a very important factor in a conditioner.  The scent of the conditioner is the same as the shampoo which I do like very much.  It does smooth through my hair very nicely and I actually do not have to use a whole lot, which is a very good benefit in my opinion because I do have a lot of hair and with most products, I do have to use a lot.

My problem is the same as the shampoo, which is the rinse.  I like for my hair to feel softer after the use of conditioner, and it really didn't when I was rinsing it out.  This disappointed me.

The Leave-In Treatment

Now here is where my skepticism became surprised.  The leave-in treatment is what did it for me.  The thickness of this product, like the other two, was perfect.  The scent is also perfect, just like the shampoo and conditioner, not overpowering at all.  I was able to apply this throughout my hair without using a lot.

With my hair, the frizz is an everyday occurrence and I really haven't found anything, for a reasonable price that can control it and make me feel like I have pretty hair.  I do not like having to put things like mousse or gel into my hair, so I am happy to say that when I use this product, it is all I have to put into my hair to make me feel pretty.

The Whole System

As of today, I have been using the Neutrogena Triple Repair hair care system for eleven days, every day.  In the beginning I said that the shampoo and conditioner disappointed me during the rinse, but after continuous use, this initial disappointment doesn't apply anymore.  With each day, my hair started to feel softer after rinsing and I have to say, that I could feel it getting stronger, too.  The texture of my hair just began to improve and I am amazed that a product that is so affordable can do this for my hair.  I wish I would have taken a before picture, but I was so eager to try it, that I didn't.  My after picture isn't that great (I just do not take good pictures), but I think it shows how good my hair looks after using this product. More curly than frizzy :)

(After)

Because of my initial disappointment, I am only giving this product 4 out of 5 stars, but it is a product I will recommend to anyone who is in serious need of hair repair.

Until next time...

Amy
