Nexxus Ultralight Weightless Shampoo & Conditioner - Frizz Control

In this review of the Nexxus Ultralight Weightless Shampoo & Conditioner for dry, frizzy hair, the bottom line is simple: this two-piece system is for anyone who wants lighter-feeling moisture that specifically targets frizz. The reviewer found the system most valuable because it builds a weightless, invisible barrier around each strand to block frizz in high humidity while restoring strength with a Proteinfusion of almond protein and jasmine flower. Used together, the shampoo and conditioner keep hair feeling smoother and looking shinier without silicones or sulfates, making it a solid choice for those avoiding heavier styling residues.

Key Features

• Weightless frizz control: The system forms an invisible barrier around each strand to block out frizz in up to 98% humidity when used together, which is useful in humid climates.
• Protein-infused formula: Enriched with almond protein and jasmine flower, the treatment helps restore strength from within while improving manageability.
• Sulfate and silicone free: The shampoo cleanses without sulfates and the system avoids silicones, so hair feels lighter and less coated after use.
• Long-lasting smoothness: When used as a system, the shampoo and conditioner help keep hair smooth for up to 72 hours, reducing daily styling time.
• Frizz and flyaway taming: The moisturizing formula targets frizzy, dry ends and flyaways to produce a calmer, shinier finish.

Who It's For

The Nexxus Ultralight Smooth system is best for people with dry or frizzy hair who want a lightweight treatment rather than heavier creams or oils. It is especially useful for those living in humid regions or anyone who finds their hair puffs up in damp weather and needs a product that blocks moisture without weighing hair down.

People who prefer very heavy conditioning masks or expect intense oil-based smoothing may want to look elsewhere; this system favors weightless control and strengthening over thick, greasy slip. Those seeking a sulfate-based clarifying shampoo for heavy product buildup should also consider an alternative.
