The bottom line

Fragrance-sensitive longtime user

TRESemme Anti-Breakage Conditioner for Brittle or Weak Hair

Reviewers describe hair as soft, smooth, and easier to manage after using the shampoo-and-conditioner set together, with several specifically praising the conditioner's slip and detangling.

general users, Target review widget (TCIN 76374762)

The 2-pack shampoo+conditioner bundle is repeatedly cited as good value for the amount of product received relative to price.

general users, Target review widget (TCIN 76374762)

A recent bottle redesign made the shampoo and conditioner bottles both black, and reviewers complain they can no longer tell the two apart by feel/color in the shower.

repeat buyers, Target review widget (TCIN 76374762)

Shipping/packaging complaint specific to the conditioner bottle -- reviewers report it arriving cracked or leaking, requiring a return of the whole 2-pack.

general users, Target review widget (TCIN 76374762)

Some reviewers keep using the conditioner on its own (paired with a different shampoo) after finding the shampoo half not to their liking, suggesting the conditioner's slip/softness holds up independent of the paired shampoo.

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 6 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
