TRESEMME NOW IN THE PHILIPPINES!

Salon Gorgeous Hair At Home, Everyday

Wouldn’t it be great to wake up to savvy, stylish and sleeker hair in the comforts of your own home every single day? As one of the world’s greatest consumer goods companies, Unilever recognizes the ever-changing needs of its consumers and shoppers, especially since more and more Filipinas go to the salon to further nourish and style their hair.

Introducing their newest hair brand that will give women salon gorgeous hair at home, everyday—TRESemme. TRESemme prides itself as a brand being born from salons and dedicated to creating salon-quality, stylist-tested, professional-grade wash, care and styling products to help you create your own style at home.

With two variants that specifically cater to women’s hair care needs, TRESemme is a trusted brand that gives women the confidence to step out into the world–Smooth and Shine and Anti-Hair Fall.

TRESemme’s Smooth and Shine contains Vitamin H and Silk Proteins to calm frizz and tame flyaways leaving hair silky, smooth and shiny. Its moisturizing formula quenches hair’s thirst to keep hair soft and frizz-free.

Amino-Vitamin Complex is the main ingredient in TRESemme’s Anti-Hair Fall line. It deeply moisturizes and nourishes damaged areas to reduce breakage as it evenly conditions hair to restore and revitalize distressed locks, keeping it smooth, healthy-looking and strong.

Apart from nurturing their locks, Filipinas love to style and experiment with hair styles almost every day which is why TRESemme offers their Styling Mousse which provides maximum hold for lasting body and shine and Hair Spray for a long-lasting and extra firm hold.

TRESemme’s Styling Mousse has a humidity resistant formula which protects against styling damage and offers strong hold for a salon-quality, in control, and touchable style all day while their Hair Spray helps control your preferred hair style style all day long, even in damp or humid conditions.

As it slowly becomes, not only a trend but a staple in the Philippines, Tresemme is supported by the TRESemme Style Team who knows the ins and outs of beauty and fashion—The Creative Virtuoso Raymond Gutierrez, The Style Arbiter Liz Uy, The Backstage Onlooker Kelly Misa, and The Tres Aficionados Jing Monis, Victor Ortega and Tinette Puyat. Armed with industry greats, TRESemme will keep your lustrous mane looking its best anywhere you go.

Empowering all women who want to look fabulous without spending a fortune—get salon gorgeous hair at home, everyday only with TRESemme.tresemme-02.jpgtresemme-03.jpgtresemme-04.jpg
