TréLuxe is a rapidly-growing hair care brand for women with curly hair. The brand describes their product line as "6-time award winning," "clean," and "CGM-approved."

But does TréLuxe use ingredients shown in research studies to improve hair quality? What about hair appearance? Does the brand use any questionable additives? And how do real users rate and describe the effects of TréLuxe?

In this article we'll answer all of these questions and more, as we analyze the ingredients in TréLuxe Curly Style & Refresh Set to give our take on whether or not it's likely to be effective, and whether or not it's healthy.

We'll also feature TréLuxe customer reviews, as well as a video debunking some common hair myths.

Ingredient Analysis

The ingredients in TréLuxe Reflex Curl Styling Serum (part of the top-selling Style & Refresh Set) are shown below:

Rice extract was shown to promote hair growth in a medical review published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.

Keratin-based particles were clinically shown to improve hair quality by around 40%, which suggests that the keratin amino acids in this serum may have a similar effect.

Coconut contains compounds which are clinically shown to protect hair proteins from damage, as we documented in our Harklinikken reviews article.

Fragrance was described in a 2016 medical review as having the potential to pose “serious risks” to human health.

The ingredients in TréLuxe Hi! Definition Gel are shown below:

Aloe vera has an antibacterial and antifungal effect when applied topically (source), which suggests that it may promote optimal scalp health.

Honey was shown to be a natural anti-dandruff treatment in a medical review published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.

Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative, which shown to be toxic to human cells in a test tube study, as we documented in our Bounce Curl review article.

Fragrance is an ingredient we consider to be unhealthy, for reasons cited previously.

Overall, we consider TréLuxe Style & Refresh Set likely to be effective for promoting optimal hair quality and appearance, because it contains a large number of research-backed active ingredients.

However, we don't currently recommend this product due to the inactive ingredients we consider to be unhealthy.

"I've been using this for a month or so. While it does define the curls, that is negated by the bad effects. This stuff leaves my hair feeling super crunchy that does not go away. It also leaves it looking dull. I cannot recommend this. My hair has lost it's shine and bounce since I've been using this. The container is going in the trash."

Conclusion

TréLuxe is a high-quality hair care brand from an efficacy standpoint.

All of the brand's formulations that we reviewed while researching this article contained more than one research-backed active ingredient.

However, we didn't come across any products from the brand that we would recommend, because we have concerns about some of the inactive ingredients used.

Most online customer reviews of TréLuxe that we came across while researching this article were positive.

The brand's official website seems to be the only place to get bundle deals. This is not a brand that's easy to price shop at different retailers.
