Review: Nexxus Dualiste Color Protection Anti-Breakage Shampoo

After falling madly deeply in love with Nexxus Dualiste Conditioner, I wanted to try out the newly formulated shampoo. The Dualiste products are a bit high priced, but frankly, if you want your hair to be as healthy as possible, then I would highly recommend them. At any rate, a few days after trying and falling for the conditioner, I returned home with a bottle of Nexxus Dualiste Color Protection Anti-Breakage Shampoo.
 
Like the conditioner, the shampoo also comes in with two separate chambers of shampoo fused together. When you pres the top applicator the bottle releases two different shampoos. One is a pearly white color while the other is a nice spring colored purple. One is used to protect hair from breakage, while the other protects your color. It is designed mostly for those with color treated hair, however it can be used for those who do not color treat their hair, but want to protect hair from breakage.

My Use:
 
In the shower I found the pump to be a little difficult to use, as the shampoo is relatively thick. It took a lot of pumping on the applicator to get just a small amount of the shampoo out. The conditioner worked easily and slid the formula out with no effort, the shampoo however actually sucked when it came to getting it out of the pump. I truly think Nexxus needs to work out this annoying kink, because let me tell you due to this I would actually re-consider purchasing it again.

Anyhow, the scent is very nice with a candy and sugar like zing to it, which I liked. I do find that the regular moisturizing conditioner by Nexxus has a much nicer coconut tropics scent to it. Dualiste is nice, but really not the best scented shampoo I have ever come across.

After pumping the applicator to death, I finally had enough shampoo in my palm to use it. It lathers really quickly and nicely, and when rinsing it out I could already feel how soft and silky it was going to leave my hair once I got out and dried off.

My assumptions were correct, Nexxus Dualiste Color Protection Anti-Breakage Shampoo definitely left my hair very smooth, and very silky. I loved how it also kept frizz away.

All in all it was an excellent experience, and the results were superb, however due to the aggravation of the pump I honestly would skip out on buying it again. I find that Nexxus original formula shampoo works just as well as the Dualiste shampoo, only the original bottles are easily squeezed to get the shampoo out of the bottle.

If you want to struggle with the annoying pump than I say go ahead, because the shampoo is really wonderful. Unfortunately I think after a few uses, you too will find the applicator pump to be a headache. Not only is ts design a headache, but it also does not pump out the last inch of shampoo. Seeing that there is no way to screw off the lid to get at it, you end up wasting a good portion of it, which sucks considering the high $11-$13 price tag associated with it.
