It’s all about the proteins. At Nexxus, we use proteomics (science that studies proteins) to find the right protein blends to restore hair, according to each type or level of damage. Each of our formulas has the right concentration of proteins to bring your hair back to its most beautiful state.

To have the best results, it’s important to use our products as a system. All products have been crafted to take on different roles. All Nexxus shampoos are custom crafted, they rebalance hair by rebuilding broken bonds and replenishing nutrients within leaving hair responsive. Nexxus conditioners restore the protective barrier, leaving hair balanced and flexible.

Nexxus has formulated its shampoos to be silicone free. By removing that silicone coating from your rinse, it allows your treatment and conditioning products to work best to repair, restore, and protect.

Nexxus has minimized SLES levels to have truly mild formulas, yet with efficient cleansing and foaming properties. There is no technical evidence why Nexxus products with SLES should not be used with keratin treated hair.

Nexxus uses Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLES). SLES is a surfactant or cleansing agent, which is used in many cosmetic products for its excellent cleansing and foaming properties.

Shampoos having a high level of surfactants (such as sulphate ones) could damage coloured hair. Nexxus has minimized SLES levels to have truly mild formulas, yet with efficient cleansing and foaming properties.
