Previously, I've blogged about my hunt for a suitable shampoo to use after my keratin treatment. The keratin treatment cost me a lot of money, so I was very chuffed when I found a reasonably priced shampoo that marketed itself as being suitable for use after a salon keratin treatment.
The shampoo in question is TRESemme's keratin smooth and it was on sale at my local boots for £4.99 for a 500ml bottle. It claims to be a professional quality shampoo (as do a lot of shampoos!) with low sulphates and infused with keratin.
The Ingredients
Looking through the ingredients list, the second and third highest ingredients were ammonium laureth sulfate and ammonium lauryl sulfate. These are obviously sulphates, which leaves a little bit confused as to how it is a low sulphate shampoo. I've contacted TRESemme to clarify this. However, as the special shampoo my salon gave me also contained sulphates, this is not necessarily a worry.
The salon my shampoo gave me contained no sodium chloride, the other post-keratin no-no. This shampoo also contains no sodium chloride. Interestingly, the superdrug website write-up on this product only mentions it's sodium chloride free nature, and says nothing about low sulphates. Unhelpfully, the TRESemme website gave no information about the ingredients!
The Verdict
I will try this, as it doesn't contain sodium chloride but does contain sulphates, just like the shampoo I've been using that my salon gave me. However, I am mystified as to how it can be labelled as 'low sulphate 'and await TRESemme's response......
