Review: Sunsilk Hydra TLC 24/7 Creme

What They Say: "Rough Ends & Hairs That Stick Out All Over? Get soft hair that flows together.

Pesky little hairs sticking out every which way? Put those messy, bothersome hairs back in place with Sunsilk™ Hydra TLC 24/7 Creme with Nutri-Keratin. It's not a conditioner, not a gel - it combines the best of both. So it tames unruly flyaways for softer, more manageable hair that flows together.

What to do:
It's easy - just smooth 1 or 2 dollops through damp hair and style as usual. If needed, re-apply on dry hair for extra TLC during the day. For maximum hydration start with Hydra TLC Shampoo & Conditioner (or Multi-Symptom Masque)."

Melissa Says: Wow. I truly was skeptical that something so inexpensive could have such an effect on my hair. I apply it before blowdrying and just use a paddle or vent brush and voila - supersoft! As you know, my hair likes to have unruly ends that do this weird non-curl, wiry flying in the air thing. Right now, my hair has many ends of different lengths that are growing out, and I love that this helps my hair look more smooth and flowing, with no wiry ends giving away the different lenghts. It feels amazing, and even though the scent is a quite prevalent, I personally like it. It's kind of...well, it's "fresh" and similar to another shampoo scent, but I can't put my finger on which one it reminds me of. My husband commented on it without realizing it was my hair product, saying I smelled SO good, and asking what it was. So while some may not prefer to have something that lingers in that way, I'm keeping this a 5-lipper because it really just has amazed me in all ways.

...Smooth hair that flows together...that's exactly what it gives me.

Retail Price: $4.43 (available in drugstores and superstores everywhere - and now ON SALE for $3.82 at drugstore.com)

I bought this after reading your rave review, and I'm in love! I used to use Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream to soften my hair, but this does a much better job, at a fifth of the price!

I love it too! Currently in my shower I have the TLC (pink), the Anti-Flat (yellow) and the Straightening (purple) - depending on my mood I decide which to use! Can we say addicted? No more Bumble & Bumble or Biolage!

Thanks for reviewing a drugstore product! This is well within my price range; I have very long (think Gwyneth or Demi, WITHOUT the upkeep budget) and my hair needs a lot of TLC just because the ends have been around so long. I've been using Brilliant Brunette shine shock (if only this stuff worked as good as the copy) for a year or so but I bought this over the weekend and I love it--will be going back for the shampoo and conditioner. Thank you so much!

Profound Beauty Volume Power Spray

What They Say: "This patent-pending 75mph spray creates unprecedented volume, thickness and dramatic root lift. Micro-fine styling particles are released at high speed, propelling the product directly to the root of the hair, resulting in intense lift and windblown, spontaneous movement."

Melissa Says: This definitely did give my hair a bit of a boost, especially when used throughout my entire hair while bending over and spraying liberally (one of the suggested applications). Once I brushed it through I had increased body with no buildup at all and a soft look. However, in terms of root-lifting, I couldn't achieve a significant difference. I think perhaps my hair is too heavy for the holding level of this spray for me to get any significant root volume from it that didn't get quickly weighed down; this is why I believe this could be a great natural-feel body building spray for those with fine or thin hair. For me, it's nice for a boost in overall fullness, but it didn't achieve exactly what it promised.

Retail Price: $26.00 (at select salons and distributors; go to profoundbeauty.com to find one near you)
