Kenra Professional Nitro Memory Creme 18-8oz

I have been looking for a product that gave me just enough lift to my fine, red color treated but thick pixie short hair. I have tried several different Kenra’s mousses and root booster and got dull, dried out hair. So I ran into a You Tube video on keeping your pixie cut hydrated after coloring. She just had her hair bleached at her salon and the coloring processes dried out her hair. I have had the same issue in the past! She brought this product out to use as a root pump instead of her normal root pump and added other products that helped me with keeping my hair hydrated. But most of all I was surprised by this poorly reviewed product. Out of all the highly reviewed Kenra products I have tried, this has given me enough lift without drying out my hair. The scent is not overwhelming like the fragrance Kenra has been adding to its products that to me smell like a case of bad B/O! Anyway I shake it hard, spray a small amount of cream out. It doesn’t take much at all. There is some liquid that comes out of the nozzle but I think that could what got left in the nozzle from last time I used it. But I had the same issue with most of Kenra’s mousses. I just added it with my small dollop of the cream to wet hair. I use a couple of multi-benefit heat protectors before applying the cream to my hair and dry on my lowest heat setting with my hair dryer. It works so well in my hair! Fine and thick hair is hard to find products to help with volume, hydration and style. This product doesn’t leave my hair feeling heavy like a lot of products do. It seems like the hair care industry caters to fine and thin hair but not fine and thick. I hope Kenra keeps manufacturing this product despite the bad reviews. It works, leaves my hair lifted but soft. I can even get away from using a dry wax (Enjoy) or manipulator (light green Bed Head Matte) to my hair to style my pixie with a piece-y look or a messy look. I am left with a beautiful soft lifted pixie hairstyle. If you have issues using this product then you are probably using too much. It looks like a mousse but it is a cream. It also has not had negative effects on my red color-treated hair. Only positive! Finally a product that works! Edit 11/2025 Having issues with the nozzle? Run the nozzle under warm or hot water where the product dispenses. You may have to use a washcloth every once in a while to really clean it. Once you remove it from the water shake the can to remove excess water that may get into the holes in the nozzle. My last suggestion was not a great one so I have taken it off to give you this better method. The other method broke my nozzle off and I have a repair I hope last. But that was my fault and I apologize to anyone who tried my previous cleaning suggestion from October. The above way I have described will work and you will not have a broken nozzle like I do. Luckily my husband and I are scientists and we were able to repair my nozzle but It is harder to use because of my own stupidity! I hope this works for those with nozzle problems! This is a really great product to try and I really hope it remains on the market!

This is a repeat purchase that I have ordered several times. It is always hard to get out of the nozzle, but I tried to use this new can yesterday and it was impossible. Nothing would come out and I have missed the window of return, so am stuck with an expensive purchase I cannot use. I would still like either my money back or a new one that works. Even though I love this product for styling (once it comes out of the can), I will be looking for a similar product elsewhere.

This stuff is my go to product..works well and does hold a style. That nozzle is rather fragile so be careful when dispensing

Love the product, wish the nozel worked better, a majority of bottles i order, the top comes off easily and the flow is slow and liquids. I love the product enough to continue using, but wish the nozel could be improved.

I have had short, fine hair all my life and little of it. I am 61 and have been looking for a product that would make my hair LOOK thick, not weigh it down and keep it's styling hold. Nothing I have tried every worked. Regardless of how much I used, or didn't use, I had to spray the heck out of my hair with hairspray trying hard not to have "helmet head". THIS product does it all for me. I can put a quarter size amount on my hands, run it through my damp hair, blow dry and POOF...there is the hair and hold I had been looking for. I still need to use a little spray for some height but very, very little, mostly just at the roots. Bonus is, this stuff lasts...I don't wash my hair every day...I dampen it up and re-blow it. With this creme mousse it looks just as good 3 - 4 days in a row! I have not had an issue with the packaging or the nozzle and I pray I never do because I would be heartbroken. Give it a try!
