Everyone goes through a rebellion phase in their teens. And, like me, if you were a girl in your teens, sitting in your room, wondering how to go against the whole world, I’m sure it was your hair that bore the brunt of this decision. Now let’s be honest, getting a tattoo is too permanent and getting a bob haircut is not for everyone, unless you are Bella Hadid or Zendaya (God bless those queens). From bleaching and colouring my hair with every hue under the sun to aggressively straightening my wavy hair with thermal styling tools, I have done it all. The aftermath? Dull and damaged hair in my late 20s.
As Phoebe Waller-Bridge says in Fleabag (2018), “Hair is everything. It's the difference between a good day and a bad day.” I use my hair as an accessory to elevate my look, and as a grown adult now, I know better not to damage my mane further but to repair it instead. While hair botox, transplants, and keratin treatments are great, they are not for me. I believe that I can get my hair to get back to its virgin self with the right products and perfect routine.
But given the condition of my hair, it needs more than a solution, it needs a resurrection. In search of a good hair repair formulation, I stumbled upon Nexxus, courtesy of my jet-setting cousins abroad, who recommend this viral brand every time I cry over my hair woes. Nexxus recently launched their Promend Repair Range, and I got my hands on it before it hit the shelves (perks of being a Nykaa-ite). I tried their flagship product, the Nexxus Promend Oil Resurrection For Hair, for two weeks, and these are my two cents. Right from packaging to formulation, we are not leaving any stone unturned.
The Ultimate Hair Repair Oil
Their patented intersection between luxury and science results in an opulent formulation that revives dull, dry, and damaged hair within a few uses. Six drops of their leave-in oil has the potential to bring back the pureness of virgin hair. The luxurious fragrance and packaging, the protein-first formula, and their drive to repair damaged hair are unlike any other hair repair treatments. My bank may be struggling, but my hair is thriving, an investment I am ready to make well into my 30s. You may not need it, but here are three more solid reasons for you to add this oil to your hair care routine.
Trillion Peptide-Grade Protein
There are a trillion tri-peptide molecules in every drop of this hair repair oil. Made of hair-strengthening keratin, moisture-retaining collagen, and elastin that reduces brittleness, the Promend Oil Resurrection is a proteomic breakthrough when it comes to reviving dull and damaged hair.
8 Natural-Origin Botanical Oils
Made with the richness of eight naturally extracted botanical oils – meadowfoam, jojoba, sunflower, castor, olive, squalane, orbignya oleifera, and pracaxi, this product is non-sticky, non-greasy, quick-absorbing, lightweight, long-lasting, and high-performance.
50000 Magnolia Flower Cells

The Most Iconic Packaging
Breaking the monotony of traditional haircare packaging, Nexxus’ Promend Oil Resurrection is a novelty experience, to say the least. Beyond its unconventional container, which resembles an ethereal elixir bottle that fairies use to store their magical potions, the cap is what stole my heart. The cap smoothly twists to unveil a gold-plated push-button dropper, making it accessible to dispense the oil directly onto your scalp and strands. This way, none of the product gets absorbed on your fingers and palms like other hair oil dispensers.
Parting Thoughts
Amazing hair has the power to make you feel like a trillionaire. The transfusion of a trillion proteins and lipids reverses severely damaged hair instantly. The almost water-like texture of the Nexxus Promend Oil Resurrection For Hair offers the benefits of 8 botanical oils without being heavy and greasy. Applying it after a hair wash allows the oil to seep into the scalp to offer a 72-hour long shine, strength, smoothness, and scent. The goodness of cross-border formulation is specifically made to cater to the frizzy, tropical hair. So, what's the wait, this viral international brand is live on the app, shop Nexxus on Nykaa now.
