Customer Reviews of Nexxus Emergencee Restorative Strength Conditioning Treatment 3.3 Ounce
Customer Review: Defintely works, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start by saying that I'm Asian but have always complained about my super-long, thick, and stick-straight hair. Over the last 15 years, I have ruthlessly bleached, colored, and permed it without much problem...that is, until this past Christmas.
A friend of mine learned about a place that does 'digital perms', which are currently all the rage in Asia, and convinced me to go with her. Since my last perm was 2.3 yrs ago and my last bleaching (for pink hair) was almost a year ago, I figured my hair was ready for another process. When I left the salon, my hair looked pretty good and curled in the cutest way (of course!) but two days later, I started to notice that all of my pink strands of hair were starting to look fried (what you would imagine your hair to look like if you ever got hit by lightening). It was so dry and matted that attempting to detangle it with my fingers would result in breakage.
I got on Amazon and immediately ordered this and the Bumble & Bumble Deeep. I tried Deeep first and it seemed to help a little. A week later, I tried Emergencee and it seemed to work at least twice as well in softening up my crunchy strands. Unfortunately, when my hair dried after Emergencee, I noticed that my $200 perm was pretty much non-existent. I figured it was because I used Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner so it was weighed down but it has been over a week and it is still just as flat and uncurly as ever. So, to recap...
(1) What I had to start:
* Slightly wavy hair
* Slightly dry hair
* $200 in my pocket
(2) What I had after perm:
* Big sexy curls
* Very dry brittle hair
* $0 in my pocket
(3) What I have now after Emergencee:
* Slighty wavy hair
* Moderately dry brittle hair
* $0 in my pocket
So although I will say that Emergencee definitely works, I'm undecided as to whether it worked well enough for me give up my expensive perm in less than 2 weeks. In my opinion, #3 of the above scenarios is definitely the worst. All I can do now is to keep using this product and hope that it will work well enough to turn my hair back to scenario #1 (minus the money of course).
Customer Review: Amazing results if used correctly!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first thing I must say about this product is that it can do wonders for your hair, but only if you use it properly and have realistic expectations. Nexxus Emergencee is a hair Reconstructor and not a deep moisture product so you will need to use a rich moisturizing conditioner after using this product.
I have curly, heavily damaged hair from a hairstylist who bleached half my head to a white blonde color. Needless to say I started losing clumps of hair and I did one deep treatment after another with no significant results. That is until I found this little bottle of gold! It doesn't have a bad smell its just different. It will spread easily through your hair and one bottle lasted me 8 full treatments on my below shoulder length hair. I also use it once a week without any problems.
I used it on clean, slightly damp hair. After fully saturating my hair with the product, I apply low to medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes. This drys in my hair rock hard!! Thats good because it means it has allowed all the protein ingredients to bond correctly to my hair. When its dryed into my hair I carefully wash it out making sure not to disturb the hardened hair until it is rinsed out fully and then I apply the most mosturizing deep conditioner I have. I let that sit in my hair for 30 mins to an hour then rinse and my hair comes out amazing!!! You will notice a huge difference in the condition of your damaged hair after 2-3 treatments depending on how often you use it. It will just about be back to its previous condition before the damage occured.
I highly recommend this product to anyone with damaged hair who needs a reconstructing treatment.
Customer Review: Telogen Effluvium: Thank you Nexxus!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was younger, I had fine-voluminous hair type 3b/c which I altered chemically with coloring and whatnot. Years ago, I came across the Nexxus Emergencee product and thought to experiment and see if it'll restore my hair texture from previous hair coloring to healthy again. Due to my ineptitude and lack of interest to follow instructions, the end results were horrific.
During the end of 2008 RD, my hair started to fall out profusely from the roots which I attributed to Yaz (Birth Control Pill) which I was on. These hormonal changes also caused me to have shorter period cycle. My hair-loss was so tremendous that even after discontinuing the BCP (around mid 2009,RD) my hair-loss perdured until I subsequently decided to give Nexxus Emergencee a second try prior to not succeeding with other innumerable amounts of hair products to end my hair-loss battle. Among my many attempts I include a BKT which mirages quick hair repair.
Currently, I have been using the Nexxus Emergencee and although I've only used this product three times (PROPERLY) since my last purchase a month ago, I am happy to report that less and less hair is falling out from the roots. My hair is no longer the same in volume; however, I am sure that with Nexxus Emergencee, an incorporated bottle of Biotion 1000 mcg (purchased this spring 5x a day), and optimist expectation...the hair volume I once had will definitely return. My hope is that this review helps those esp who have suffered or is currently suffering from hair loss due to Yaz, or any other Birth Control Pill. These culprits are so detrimental to hair growth cycle (and hormones).
Customer Review: It's really just "OK"
Summary: 3 Stars
For getting this size bottle, you can get about 4 uses out of it, I have used it 3 times with enough left over for a last time. Now that I have used it, I'm glad I just got the sample size because it's really just an ok product. I dont know, I am African American with 4c/4b mixed hair, and it really does nothing for my hair. I got this because Ateeya said it was good, and also another African American person, but I think I might try Aphogee, or maybe I dont need a protein treatment (but I used this in conjunction with a deep moisturizing shampoo AND a conditioner AND a lotion to make sure I didnt have a protein overload) because I got this to make my hair not break so I could see some growth, but when I brush my hair after, I still see little hairs on the counter, which defeats the purpose of this product. On top of that, it's expensive, even for this sample size. Maybe they have changed the formula since they said to use this product, but as of a month ago when I first started using this product, my hair hasnt benefited, but thankfully hasnt been damaged, from using this product. It just wasnt for me...
Tip
When you put it on your hair, dont freak out when it makes the texture change. It washes out fine, I just felt that it makes my hair feel matted when its on there, but thats just how it works, I guess... And the first time I used it I left it on for the recommended time, but the last two times I left it on for 5 minutes, maybe if you leave it on longer, it might work better... but if your hair falls out, you didnt hear that from me :-p
Customer Review: This stuff is amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried everything, and I mean everything after I got a really bad overprocessed perm on top of color treated hair. My hair looked like straw and felt even worse. I broke 2 combs just trying to get a comb through it. My daughter in law is the manager of a beauty supply store and recommended several professional only products which are supposed to be excellent which did little or nothing. In desparation I went to the local Walgreens and picked up the Nexxus Emergencee, expecting it to be the same as everything else I tried. I don't even know why I picked it from all the others on the shelf. I guess because of the name and this was an emergency!!! It looks different from anything else, it is an amber color gel. When I put it on my hair, it felt really awful, dry and coarse and tangle-y and I expected no results. I left it on 2 minutes and rinsed my hair and immediately felt a difference. But you do have to follow up with a conditioner as this stuff is a reconstructor, not a conditioner. I used "It's a 10" as the conditioner after rinsing out Emergencee, and couldn't believe the difference. My hair was a totally hopeless frizzed out straw patch, and this brought it back to life. Not like it was before the perm, but as close as anything that I have ever used, and believe me, I just spent a fortune on products that didn't work. It is really great stuff if you have damaged hair. I won't be without it.
