Farewell Friday #4

Afternoon everyone! :)

What a lovely day! Hope it's as nice and sunny where you are, I can't believe the weathers like this and it's only March!

The other day I finished a product, so thought I'd do a Farewell Friday about it.

The product in question is TRESemme Split Remedy Leave In Treatment.

I bought this from Boots around 4 months ago, when I started on my hair serum/treatment obsession. 

This product claims to "restore moisture and softness,instantly leaving your hair smoother. The unique formula, with Reconstructing Complex, actually mends split ends and, with continued use, protects the health of your hair by repairing further damage as it occurs."

Now, personally I hate it when brands talk about things like 'reconstructing complex', because what does that actually mean?! Fair enough when it's something like 'contains argan oil', because we know what that is, it actually means something, and we can research it if we want more info. But what on earth is a 'reconstructing complex' when it's at home?!

Anyway, rant over! Annoying made up ingredient aside, this is a pretty nice product.

This product is designed to be used after shampooing and conditioning. You apply to mid, to ends when wet, and then dry it. You can also apply a small amount to dry ends.

PROS:

• Smells nice
• Easy to use, and you don't need much, meaning it lasts a while
• Leaves hair smooth, sleek and soft
• When left on dry hair overnight, it sinks in and leaves hair in great condition, but doesn't look greasy the next day

CONS:

• Can leave hair feeling a bit sticky if you use too much
• Didn't make any difference to my split ends
• Once you get near the end, it gets tricky to get all the product out, so I had to cut open the bottle!

Now, to be honest, I didn't expect it to make much difference to my split ends. Not only can I not see how a product can actually 'fix' them, but my split ends are pretty extreme!

My fave way to use this was overnight, on dry ends. I used this pretty much every night, and found that when I woke up the next day, my hair was smooth, less brittle/dry, and really soft. My ends didn't look greasy at all, and it didn't feel like there was any product left there. 

So, all in all, a great serum to relieve dry, brittle ends, but I'm not entirely sold on the split end mending claims!

This is £5.50 from Boots.com and instore.

Would I repurchase? Yes, definitely. It's not as good as this Lee Stafford one, but it's much better value for money, and is a fab everyday product.

Anyone tried this? Or found an amazing hair serum?

Thanks for reading :)
