PANTENE

I love the smell of this shampoo. It is one of my favorite smelling products. The reason I bought it is because I was looking for a new good sulfate free shampoo. I used to use the Nature's Gate Tea Tree Shampoo, but I'm having a hard time finding it in the stores. This one works pretty well and I have already repurchased once. My hair feels pretty clean afterwards, but I do have one issue. There is a little bit of argan oil in this product, and I think it's almost too heavy for my hair. Sometimes I think it moisturizes too much and makes my hair greasy.

I am on my 2nd bottle - basically use it as a leave-in conditioner and top off with a bit of squalane or hemi squa to finish. It makes my dry, fine curly hair look good. The other plus is it is the only conditioner I found doesn't give me pimples along my cheeks when my hair brushes it. It is safe for fungal acne. I got that since having an IUD (since removed) years ago and even hair products can make it come on. I have some leave in conditioners that hairdressers had recommended and sold to me but none of them work as well as this. I used to use a Dove one for the purpose but that I noticed was causing breakage. It also was not safe for f.a. as I noticed the breakouts come on and went through 2 weeks of green masks and whatever else (BHA sulfur etc) every day to curb it. Thankfully this is a cheap-o that doesn't exacerbate anything so my skin remains relatively clear except for make up-related irritation. This really works well for me. I use their shampoo+conditioner bottle as well, to wash twice in a row, then dry a little and use this as a leave in.

Back story: I usually don’t buy Pantene because it doesn’t work for my hair and I end up buying more expensive luxe haircare because I’ve been going to a professional to turn my darkest brown hair to a platinum blonde. I have super long hair all the way down my back, thats frizzy and naturally wavy. I’ve had my hair bleached and toned professionally a total of 3 times now in the past 4 or 5 months so even when done professionally there will always be some kind of damage. I passed by a box of Pantene intense rescue shots in a very appealing gold box and saw that it was only $5 with three ampoules. I’ve since bought two boxes and it takes the whole box to completely saturate my long thick hair. Review: I am super SUPER impressed with Pantene, and unlike the previous reviewer I can DEFINITELY tell a difference between Pantenes regular full sized conditioner and these rescue shots. I usually have to spray leave in conditioner by it’s a 10 or cake in my hair when brushing it out wet, but not with this! I had no trouble brushing my hair out, and what usually take 20 minutes to do, only took 5 minutes, and the amount of hair that came out in my brush was VERY minimal and only 10% of what usually comes out when I brush it. I only have to wash my hair twice a week, so spending $10 a week for deep conditioning and a very easy brush out is absolutely worth it to me! I had to get on here and write a review because I am shocked and very pleased and hope they continue to make this product, because I will continue to buy it! Super easy, super convenient, value and quality are superb. Please try this for yourself! You will not be disappointed!
