PANTENE

This has a fresh, clean, classic perfume-y “Pantene” scent (not the strawberry infused scent most of the line has now). I hold this 6-8 inches away from my roots and give a few sprays, then “whoosh” around. No white cast on my brown hair, and it refreshes my hair and gives it body, without feeling like there is residue. I paid $5 for this, and really like it! Hard to find, though.

A novelty! Say goodbye to thick gloopy conditioners that you can't get out of the bottom of the bottle and end up having to stand/balance the bottle upside down to get the last bits out. This is a light mousse-consistency conditioner which is helping condition my hair nicely and leaves it tangle-free, less frizzy and subtlely scented. I squeeze the excess water out of my hair after shampooing and then apply this through the lengths, starting from just above my roots, give it a few minutes to work its magic and voila! Perfect results. Fantastic price point too.

I usually love Pantene Shampoo and I especially love their conditioners, so I trust the brand.

I bought the clarifying shampoo because I've moved to a hard water area and it's ruining my hair, so I thought this might help, or at the very least, make my hair feel a bit cleaner and lighter.

It's clear, and it lathers up quite well, but it doesn't have the usual lovely smell that the other Pantene shampoos have, and it doesn't feel as good either. It hasn't helped recover my hair and doesn't seem to have done anything that a basic shampoo wouldn't have done. There wasn't much point switching to it.

I used just the shampoo not the 2 in 1. Should be changed from volume to softness. Didn’t do much for volume but made my heavily bleached hair unbelievably smooth and silky after 1 wash and with the 3 minute miracle conditioner

My hair is softer and less frizzy and I noticed I hardly ever get split ends anymore. Its a very seldom thing thanks to this stuff. The smell is amazing and the consistency is a little thick but that's good for us curly girls it makes your hair feel smooth and absorbs fairly easy. Sometimes I use it all over my hair and sometimes just the bottom half bc it keeps my hair tamed and the frizz away. I use more than one pump sometimes but usually just one is enough. I would definitely buy this again its a staple in my hair routine. Its inexpensive, does what it says, and smells amazing for anyone looking to grow longer hair you still have to take good care of it and avoid heat and stuff but this does help the process for the most part.
