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 formula 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 silicone-free. 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.
At Nexxus we call this balance the perfect equilibrium.

Protein Care active ingredients rebuild broken bonds reinforcing hair's protein structure for stronger, reinforced hair. They are used in all Nexxus Shampoos.
Nexxus shampoos are silicone-free to avoid weighing down hair. Nexxus conditioning and post-wash products contain micro-silicones as they are very effective to make hair feel luxuriously smooth, soft and moisturized. Silicone also helps hair feel cleaner and easier to comb by reducing friction.
Micro-Silicones are very small and light silicones that intelligently deposit only where they are needed on the hair fibre, so hair is not overloaded and moves with seamless fluidity. They are used in Nexxus conditioners*.
