Influenster ‘Pureology Strength Cure Review ‘ Received product for review. As an olaplex lover, I am always skeptical of trying new brands, but since I did receive these to try and review, so I did. I have to say I always look at ingredients before trying, and although this is listed as 100% vegan ingredients, the shampoo contains a known carcinogen; Methylisothiazolinone, considered a carcinogen, therefore I did not test the shampoo product. I did also receive the conditioner the miracle filler, both of which do not contain carcinogens; below are my thoughts for these two items. The conditioner has a nice texture, citrus fruity smell, but wish it was heavier as I felt it didn’t coat my hair as thoroughly as it should.

The conditioner has a nice texture, citrus fruity smell, but wish it was heavier as I felt it didn’t coat my hair as thoroughly as it should. Disclaimer, I have full thick hair; so perhaps it is just my hair type. All in all, okay very light condition, didn’t truly consider it a conditioning treatment though. The miracle filler; I have mixed feelings about this one. After blowing out my hair, the top of my hair looked nice and shiny, however the bottom felt dry. Almost felt as though the product leaves a residue weighing hair down from the top. Again, this could also be the fact that my hair type is thick/full, however I was not a fan of how heavy it felt at the top.

This is my least favorite product I tried out of the Pureology Cure line I tested. The Shampoo and treatment spray in the cure line have a clean fresh, almost fruity bubbly scent. But this conditioner has a cinnamon scent to it. I'm very reactive to scents, and cinnamon being one that personally gives me migraines and makes me physically sick. So, that was a bummer. I am hoping I got a random defective product tho because it's odd to me that Pureology states the Strength Cure line has the signature scent, but the conditioner smells different then the rest of the products. Scent aside, it's an Okay conditioner. It's thick in texture as you can see by my attached image. However it's not as slippy as I expected from a protein repair conditioner.

Scent aside, it's an Okay conditioner. It's thick in texture as you can see by my attached image. However it's not as slippy as I expected from a protein repair conditioner. It does condition well, it is lightweight enough to not weigh down my thin fine hair. But to me it's average. It has less detangling properties than the leave in spray. It does make hair softer but it's not the same as my other holy grail conditioners that have protien and bond repair such as the Wella fusionplex mask or the Redken acidic pH bonding conditioner that I normally use. Those both offer me lasting visible and touchable difference to my hair. Where as this conditioner is just decent. Id more so reccomend the Shampoo from this strength cure line and the leave in. Those I really did like. Granted, my review may be effected by only being able to tolerate using this conditioner twice because of the scent.

The Pureology Strength Cure conditioner is a game-changer for over-processed, high porosity hair. I have mid-back length, fine hair that’s a level 7 base color with pale blonde highlights; my hair was in horrible shape from bleaching, and I struggled with finding products to make it look healthier. I knew about the protein-moisture balance and spent a small fortune on all kinds of repair/conditioning products but most of them didn’t make much of a difference at all until I started using the Pureology Strength Cure line (I used the shampoo, conditioner and Miracle Filler leave-in together) after a month I have much easier detangling with noticeably less breakage, my hair feels and looks soft and shiny. My color looks great as well. I have less ‘wet frizz’ after using ... MoreThe Pureology Strength Cure conditioner is a game-changer for over-processed, high porosity hair.

I need a fairly generous amount of conditioner to coat my hair; by the end of the month my conditioner bottle felt almost empty compared to the shampoo bottle. I don’t have a whole lot of hair, even though it’s long. I used to wear my hair up all the time because of the damage, now I proudly wear it down :) I haven’t been this happy with my hair in years, I’m just thrilled with how the Strength Cure line delivers real results. I can’t wait to tell my hair stylist about it when I see her next.

I’m so glad I received this Conditioner along with the Shampoo and Filler! This is hands down the absolute best Shampoo and Conditioner set I’ve EVER used, and I use other high end haircare, so that’s really impressive! The conditioner itself is a somewhat creamy orange color and it has an amazing fruity smell. While I haven’t used the conditioner by itself, when used with the shampoo and filler, it’s made my damaged, home bleached platinum hair feel just as good as it did when I had virgin hair- even immediately after bleaching! Just WOW! The first time I used this I was amazed at what it did to my hair, and then I realized, I was just days away from needing to bleach my roots again, and I had the idea to put this to a real tough test- how would this shampoo and ... MoreI’m so glad I received this Conditioner along with the Shampoo and Filler!

Well I found out at the results have me SHOOK! My newly bleached roots (as well as the rest of my hair that I put a bleach bath on to lighten my remaining hair from a 9 to a 10) were silky smooth and significantly less frizzy than normal. The conditioner by itself worked even better than my high end hair mask does, and it’s only a conditioner! It’s my new holy grail product, and from now on I’m going to always make sure I have some on hand!

Found my new holy grails!

So I just got these products from Influenster yesterday ( the shampoo, conditioner and leave in spray) and couldn’t wait to try them so I went ahead with washing my hair even though I just washed it two days ago and I usually wash every four days. The first thing I noticed was that this smelled incredible! The other thing I noticed was that it lathered up so well! I can’t describe it but I get such a satisfying feeling when my shampoo lathers up into a rich foamy lather lol. My hair felt so clean after just one shampoo which is crazy because I always ALWAYS have to shampoo at least twice to get all the products and buildup out! Like it usually won’t even lather the first time bc of all the junk I put in my hair even with my best detox shampoos and scrubs! So for the ... MoreSo I just got these products from Influenster yesterday ( the shampoo, conditioner and leave in spray) and couldn’t wait to try them so I went ahead with washing my hair even though I just washed it two days ago and I usually wash every four days.

Like it usually won’t even lather the first time bc of all the junk I put in my hair even with my best detox shampoos and scrubs! So for the sake of review I only washed it that one time with no repeating. Once I put the conditioner in I rinsed if out and didn’t even need to brush it really as I was able to glide my fingers through easily! After I conditioned my hair I used some of the leave in spray and put my hair up and went to bed ( I had only three hours before having to get up so I figured my hair would still be wet especially in a bun). So I get up and my hair is still wet but it feels incredible, like so soft and normally my hair is a wreck if I don’t dry after washing. After drying my hair I can honestly say my hair looks and feels phenomenal. It’s so soft and silky and I can actually run my fingers through it. I know this line is pricey but wow, I think I will have to continue with this. You only need just the smallest bit of the product to lather up so it will last awhile and that will honestly prob end up saving you money since you have to use so much of the other brands and they run out much sooner. Sorry it’s so long but I truly loved this line and hope ive convinced some to try it! For reference my hair is color treated, blonde, very damaged, dry and frizzy but gets oily at the scalp. I finally have a good hair day today!!!!

Light, creamy, and seems to strengthen my hair

I like how my hair feels and the conditioner feels light and creamy. The smell is good. I think I’m seeing fewer flyaways and less frizz. Maybe it is actually strengthening my hair, but I’ve also been using a mini bottle of that 30 benefits leave-in spray-which I’m out of as of today. do notice my hair looking a bit greasy after just a day, but it is blonde-not color treated, and shows grease lines easily, especially since I’m back at work as a teacher spending much less time outside and there’s less sun now that it’s fall-and I’m down to a sulfate shampoo since ai didn’t receive the shampoo but I haven’t received the shampoo yet even though I ordered the duo. I want to try them all before investing in any liter bottles. Years back, my sister had me try her Nano ... MoreI like how my hair feels and the conditioner feels light and creamy. The smell is good.

Years back, my sister had me try her Nano Works in a light green bottle, and it was amazing, but that type is no longer made, and the Nano Gold is even more expensive than the others and not the same. I think this may be awesome-just the scent isn’t my favorite, but it’s really nice and so much better than anything else I have. I don’t normally buy expensive products, buy I’ve read Pureology is really good and do see and feel a difference!

Love this great conditioner from Influenster!

Today, I received my Influenster Pureology Strength Cure Voxbox in the mail, I have been very excited to be selected as one of the recipients for this box and to be able to try Pureology brand hair products for the first time on my regularly color treated hair. I have currently (it used to be relatively different when I was younger) naturally relatively fine/thin, and wispy hair. I would consider my hair to be 'combination' hair in a certain sense (similarly to the way some people have combination skin - which I also have myself, by coincidence) which tend to be dry and sometimes frizzy towards the bottom as well as more prone to breakage in general as my hair grows longer, and normal to sometimes oily hair near my roots and scalp area (often depending on weather ... MoreToday, I received my Influenster Pureology Strength Cure Voxbox in the mail, I have been very excited to be selected as one of the recipients for this box and to be able to try Pureology brand hair products for the first time on my regularly color treated hair.

When I used this conditioner on my hair earlier today for the first time, I noticed immediately that it made my hair feel very soft and smooth, even just upon initial application. I also found that a little of this conditioner goes quite a long way, at least for my hair type and texture! I would certainly recommend this product for someone who has color treated and damaged hair, as I did notice some very nice results immediately, and I anticipate more good results with continued use of this conditioner! I will mention, as I often tend to do with some products, Pureology is relatively speaking, on the more expensive side for hair products, so some of your decision on whether to try this product may come down to how much you are typically willing/happy to invest in hair care products for yourself. In terms of quality, I do feel that this is a high quality hair product, having used it firsthand. I sincerely hope this is helpful to you! Keep in mind that I can oy speak to results in regards to *my own* hair type as I have not spoken with other people who have tried this product in person, so far. Thank you for taking the time to read my review!

Positive results in just ONE USE!

First, a bit about my hair – so, you have a sense of comparison. My hair is straight and fine, but I have a lot of it, and it has been colored for years and years … everything from fashion colors to varying highlights to my current platinum hair. Basically, my hair was damaged, weak, and tired, my ends were incredibly dry, and, at one point, I even had massive breakage (as in clumps of hair breaking off when I brushed my hair – see photo). I have tried, what feels like, every single hair product known to man from supplements to specialized shampoo and conditioner to leave in conditioners to various oils – you get the idea (you can see some of those products in the background of the photo). So, I was a bit skeptical to try yet another “repair” shampoo, but I am ... MoreFirst, a bit about my hair – so, you have a sense of comparison.

So, I was a bit skeptical to try yet another “repair” shampoo, but I am thrilled that I did. Within the product description it states that the shampoo “instantly repairs and shows results after just one use” … well, that statement is true, at least for me. Normally when I wash my hair, after I rinse the shampoo, my ends still have texture to them (they still feel dry); however, after using the combination of BOTH the shampoo and conditioner, my ends felt as smooth as the rest of my hair. Honestly, I have not felt that smooth texture on my ends in years and years. I love that the formula contains less than 1% of synthetic fragrances (though it smells great), is 100% vegan and doesn’t contain parabens or Sulfates SLS or SLES. Yes, the price might seem high, however, you must consider that the shampoo is so highly formulated that one bottle allows for over 75+ shampoos … that’s right, 75+! This shampoo & conditioner did more for my hair in one single wash than any other product has done, period. My hair is much healthier and stronger singly handily because of this shampoo and conditioner. If you are tired of trying product after product after product, give this combo a try! *I received this product complimentary from Influenster and Pureology for testing purposes.

Wow! Amazing!

I don’t even know where to begin. I have tried shampoo/conditioner brands of all kind… from Suave to Redken to Paul Mitchell to TreSemme and everything in between. I really didn’t think that going above the Biolage/Joico/Kenra price level would be worth the cost. Those level of products work well overall and I didn’t see how doubling my costs (from what I already had to stretch to justify) would actually make enough of a difference in my hair to even be worth considering. I have to admit it though, I was WRONG! I was born with light blonde, almost white hair. From grade school on it was a medium to light/medium blonde, and 100% natural, until I hit my 40’s. Now, if left on it’s own, it’s a dish-water dark blonde color that doesn’t match my eyebrows (which are still ... MoreI don’t even know where to begin.

Now, if left on it’s own, it’s a dish-water dark blonde color that doesn’t match my eyebrows (which are still white-blonde) or my skin tone. So, now I do periodic lightening to get it back to the color it was for 40 years. The result, along with using a straightening iron 5/days a week, is brittle, frizzy, porous, and dry. I still use enough products and am careful enough to make keep all but the ends fairly healthy but the ends, if not heavily moisturized, are like fuzzy straw. Even with heavy treatments, they are a still frizzy and a bit crunchy at times…until I tried Pureology Strength Cure. This stuff makes my hair feel like silk… even on the ends, without weighing it down or making it look/feel dirty. Being blonde makes it tough. If your hair is dirty, it gets darker and looks dirty. With this shampoo/conditioner I can even skip a day of washing and it’s still soft and doesn’t get that dirty look. I am absolutely blown away! My bank account will not be happy but I am a convert for life. I will find a way to make sure I am not without this stuff ever again. I even recently visited a friend for a few days and forgot to bring my Pureology. I just kept my hair piled on my head the whole time because it was just a frizzy, rough, dry mess the whole time. I won't leave home w/o it again!
