The Best Ingredients for a Personalized Hair Routine

Here’s how to make sure your in-shower hair routine is on point

You know better than to layer on top of something that isn’t solid. Building a house? Better ensure that the foundation is strong. Cooking a five-course meal to impress your guests? Only the highest quality ingredients will do. 

The same can be said for your hair. Multi-step hair routines have become the norm (leave-ins and serums and oils; oh my!). But when all is said and done, all of the styling products in the world won’t make a difference if your in-shower regimen (you know, good ol’ shampoo and conditioner) isn’t up-to-par. 

Enter: Nexxus. Thanks to an impressive selection of salon-quality, protein-crafted shampoo and conditioner collections that cater to every hair need and goal, you can find the right haircare routine for your unique needs, and get the personalized solutions you’re after.

Take the guesswork out of a good hair day and shop Nexxus’ formulas, backed by the molecular study of proteins, which are proven to deliver salon-quality results. 

Your best hair ever awaits.

4. Hair goal: A deep clean that leaves hair feeling soft and purified

Ingredients: Elastin Protein and Marine Minerals

Is there anything better than that squeaky clean feeling after you step out of the shower?

Nexxus’ Clean & Pure Nourishing Detox Shampoo and Conditioner is a game-changing system gently cleanses and purifies hair without the use of parabens, dyes or silicones. Formulated with good-for-you ingredients that revive your hair, this lightweight shampoo and nourishing conditioner reveal your hair’s shine and movement.
