Which Product Cleans Your Hair Better? - TRESemme Shampoo Vs. White Rain Shampoo
My two most recent are White Rain Original Shampoo and TRESemme Shampoo for dry or damaged hair. I have very dry hair and I've noticed that if I don't switch shampoos often, my hair tends to get drier than normal. It's my own fault, because I love to change the color of my hair. I like to go darker in the colder months and for spring and summer, I like to highlight. While I like the difference, it tends to dry my hair and I have to adjust my shampoo accordingly. I almost always buy whatever is for dry hair.
About six weeks ago, I began using TRESemme for dry or damaged hair. It had been years since I used it, but I'd remembered liking it and wanted to give it another whirl. The 32 OZ bottle was almost $4 which is typically more than I like to pay for a bottle of shampoo, but I bought it anyway. I tucked my half full bottle of Suave into the closet and started on the TRESemme.
The TRESemme is wonderful. The smell is so clean and it rinsed easily and I didn't feel buildup on my hair. That's the glory of starting a new shampoo. It always seems to rinse easier. It also lathered well and I didn't feel a need to wash my hair twice like I sometimes do with other shampoos. The wonderful feeling lasted about a month when, again, as usual, I felt like there was a buildup forming on my hair and I knew it was time to get something else.
The next shampoo I bought was White Rain Original. There is a significant price difference between the shampoos as the White Rain is only $0.89 per bottle. The White Rain lathered well and rinsed clean. The scent was just as good, if not better than the more expensive TRESemme. I had to ask myself why women sometimes feel the need to spend more on shampoo. I actually read another article once that said the main ingredients in all shampoos were the same and there was no need to pay more. I sometimes do anyway.
After a little more than a week using the White Rain Shampoo, I began to notice the gummy feeling of buildup on my hair. I envy women that don't experience that. Although the shampoo lathers well and smells great, it started to leave my hair with a heavy feeling and I was noticing that it wasn't styling as easily. I tucked what was left of that bottle and pulled out the TRESemme.
Problem solved. Within one use of the TRESemme, my hair felt normal again. Although the White Rain is cheaper, the TRESemme seems to last me longer before the familiar feeling of buildup returns and I feel the need to again switch shampoos. Probably if I'd stop the destruction that I regularly do to my hair, I wouldn't have this problem.
Between the two, I'm going to say that I prefer the TRESemme. A little more money, but in the long run, it does continue to leave the hair feeling clean without buildup. I will continue to use the White Rain periodically until the bottle is gone just to keep from wasting it, but I don't think I'm going to add it to my list of regular shampoos. I will, however, continue to buy the TRESemme along with about four or five other brands that I can alternate whenever my hair begins to feel heavy. My husband uses the same shampoo everyday and has for years. If I could be so lucky.

Post a Commenteewww I can't believe you use such cheap crap shampoo it eventually causes baldness, I am use to spending as much as $30 /bottle of high-end brands BTW my hair is gorgeous looks like silk
TRESemme is more expensive because it uses higher quality ingrediants. I love TRESemme! It's amazing. What you should start doing in order to stop wasting product, is buy a clarifying shampoo or a deep cleansing shampoo and use it once when you start to feel the buildup. Use it more if it doesn't go away easily. It will strip your hair of all of the bad stuff. I know Suave has a clarifying shampoo and conditioner, and TRESemme has a deep cleansing shampoo.
I love white rain how can you not, it kicks total a$$. I mean it's WHITE after all.
because tresemme is better for your hair, ask anyone.
suave is basically like using hand soap on your hair, it does nothing but dry it out and put a fake wax coating on the top of your hair to make it look shiny and healthy, when it really isnt. the build up you are getting is from all the cheap products you are using on your hair! its the wax building up.
stick to salon products, and you will be fine.
You can find white rain shampoo at family dollar or big lots. I haven't used it in a very long time, but I found some white rain cucumber melon shampoo at big lots, so I'll give it a try! To get the build up out of your hair, just add a little bit of baking soda with your favorite shampoo! It works great, much cheaper than all these clarifying shampoos! Make sure you condition afterwards. The baking soda trick I found out from my old hair stylist over 10 years ago. It will save you a lot of money! I hope it works for you!
The key with ANY shampoo is to clarify it once a week with a clarifying shampoo. This can be anything like the Suave Daily Clarifying, or VO5 Lime & Kiwi, or even the Tresemme Deep Cleansing with Vitamin C. Most shampoo on the market use 3 basic surfactants. Most of the other ingredients are for label appeal. If you just stick with a mild shampoo all week, and use one of the more harsh shampoo blends as mentioned above and use Ammonia Lauryl Sulfate as their surfactant and no silicones your hair will become clean and no residue. In the end, the daily shampoo will build on your hair no matter what the brand is. Just do a once a week clarifying wash and you will always have soft bouncy good hair.
I used to use White Rain shampoo, but about a year ago, I was not able to find it in the local stores in Cleveland TN. Anyone know why? Wa;l Mart doesn't carry it, and the local pharmacies I have checked don't either. What's going on??
Great comparison review~I have very dry hair also and am always looking for something that will work well without paying a fortune!
Good article, you did a thorough job with the comparison. I still marvel at good old Suave, by the way, usually on sale for 89 cents and with a double coupon, free sometimes!
Good to know, thanks for the info!
