I picked this up since I had a coupon, but wished I would have saved my money. I have naturally curly, but permanently straightened hair. My hair is on the dry end, but not super dry and no damage. I thought any repair from blow drying and straightening 2x a week would be great. I used the shampoo and conditioner 3x and each time was left with dry, brittle hair. Maybe it has protein and not enough moisture which would explain the dryness. I could hardly comb the conditioner through my hair and even though my hair was soft while it was drying, it immediately looked very dry when it was styled. I am passing this along to my niece and hopefully she will have better luck.

I'm an avid high-end brand consumer when it comes to hair and makeup...and would normally turn my head away from this brand. But on a whim, I purchased the shampoo and conditioner because of it's promise to repair six months worth of damage, in one use. Well, after ONE USE - I'm in loooove with it! I'm having a hard time processing the negative reviews for Pantene "Repair & Protect" because it's amazing.

I have fine hair, very dry at the ends, more oily at the scalp, and breaks easily. I figured for less than eight bucks, why not try it out? I felt an immediate difference in my hair after using it. I let it air dry, and didn't put in any serums or hair softening products. It works awesome, by itself! If you have more fine or oily hair, be sure to rinse the conditioner out well. Start from the middle of your length when conditioning, and bring it to the ends. Don't put a lot at the scalp and work down.

I have shoulder length, fine/medium, dirty blonde hair. I often use Sun In when I blow dry to brighten it up a bit and whenever I style it I use my Chi flat iron to curl it. Needles to say, my hair is pretty dry and a little damaged from all the wear and tear. I usually use Pantene Moisture Renewal for fine/medium hair which works well enough for a drug store brand. I wish I could say the same thing for the Repair and Protect, I had such stupidly high hopes after seeing an ad with Zooey in it that I went out and bought the shampoo and conditioner the next day. I've used these twice now and each time my hair feels greasy at the roots, yet extremely dry (like, dehydrated) and brittle all through out. I'm extremely disappointed in this product. Now I guess I'll just have to let my hair soak in coconut oil to see if I can get any shine back to it.

As to not waste the conditioner I'll probably just use it on my legs as a shaving lotion until it runs out.

I bought this (and the shampoo) as the large size was on offer and it is usually quite expensive so I thought I was getting quite a good deal. Not so.

I hate both the conditioner and the shampoo.

The first time I used it, my fringe looked so greasy. As I used to wash my hair every day, I tried again the next day, being very careful to thoroughly, thoroughly rinse my hair in case I hadn't removed traces of the conditioner enough.
Second time around....my fringe was still greasy. The rest of my hair was lank and looked awful. I felt so self conscious of the state of my fringe (thankfully the rest of my hair was in a bun) as it is a full fringe and any greasiness/lankness is very obvious.
The products certainly didn't help my hair look any smoother or softer and even without the greasiness, this was very unimpressive.

My partner has used the shampoo without any problems but also hates the conditioner. After discussing my Pantene disaster with my sister, she told me that she had also used this Pantene and hated it too.
I've now bought Tresemme Keratin Smooth (shampoo and conditioner) and it is so nice to have smooth yet non-greasy hair back!

I would NEVER buy this again and it has certainly put me off the brand for life.

I have only been using this product (as well as the shampoo) for a couple of weeks. I bought this shampoo as I tend to get split ends very often which is a pain when your trying to grow your hair as the hairdresser cuts all the long split ends bits off, leaving my hair short again. I thought that if I by this shampoo and conditioner, my split end would repair and my hair would be less vunerable. I havent noticed any big difference with my hair yet, however my hair is very curly which means its a bit harder to tell if the ends are split or not. Hopefully, next time I go to get my hair cut, less inches are cut off.
I would reccomend that you spend a good while rinses your hair when washing your hair with the shampoo and conditioner as I have sometimes found the I have flakey dandruffy bits in my hair. My hair does feel quite soft at times but it can also feel quite greasy, however that may be down to other products such as heat protecter and hairspray that I use.
When I found out the price of this product, I was a bit shocked but still intended to buy the product due to the good advertisement on the television. I was happy when I got to the till when I found out it was half price!
Overall, this is a product worth trying.

I used the Pantene Pro-V Repair and Protect shampoo and conditioner and I was amazed by the results!

My hair is quite long, very thick and naturally curly and as a result very difficult to tame! I used these products because when I straightened my hair it would almost look grey in parts from my split ends. This really irritated me and I was desperate to find a solution.

I saw the advert for these new products advertised by Liv Tyler and thought I would give it a try and they have become my sacred Shampoo and Conditioner, I took one wash and straightened my hair using a heat defense spray and ALL my hair is brunette - no more grayish split end effect, I was amazed, it's like the split ends glue themselves back together with a 'just been cut' look.

This is a product I would definitely recommend for thick, wild, dry and brittle hair. To avoid an itchy scalp use a small amount (you can always add more if needed) and rub it into the hair (not on your scalp) first; so the hair which hangs down your face to the ends, then pull this hair on top of your head and rub so your scalp gets a cleanse, then wash thoroughly :) Repeat with the conditioner spending special attention to your ends!

After you have washed you can either style straight away or leave you hair to dry naturally and style it later like me ;) make sure you use a heat defense spray or gel to help protect your hair from future pesky split ends :) xx

No thank you!

This conditioner was a 'typical' Pantene product:

- It had a fake plastic scent
- It left my scalp itchy straight after use
- It made my hair break a lot (4c hair)

Basically it is everything that I avoid in a conditioner, and I am happy that I was able to reaffirm my previous suspicions.
