Pantene Moisture Renewal Shampoo Review

I was super excited to be on the trial team for the Pantene Prov- V Daily Moisture Renewal and wanted to see if it would live up to it's name. I'm naturally quite a dark brunette, but for the past year I've been bleaching my hair to a white blonde and, therefore, have been using a shampoo and conditioner that my hair stylist recommended. These salon bought shampoo sets are quite a lot more expensive than your average supermarket ones but I found that they kept my hair extremely soft and manageable as well as having a lovely scent. What I found with the Pantene shampoo was that it in fact left my hair feeling a significant amount drier and that I was having to use a lot more of my other hair products (Argan oil, Know Knot sprey etc) to counteract this. I also found that although the Pantene Pro- V shampoo had a subtle scent when it was in the bottle, once applied and rinsed from the hair it was unnoticeable. Personally I did not find this shampoo to suit my hair requirements, this is most likely down to the fact that I have such severely colour treated hair and require a more specific shampoo.

The post earlier this month to ask if anyone would use the new formula Pantene Pro V piqued my interest so I decided to buy a bottle and give it a go. The bottle is a typical Pantene bottle, however the fragrance was amazing. I only needed a little bit of the shampoo to wash my hair so I can see it is good value for money. I ended up only using it 4 times as it made my hair appear to be limp, oily and give me a slightly itchy scalp. I realised that this could have been my hair/scalp specifically and therefore gave it to another family member to use-they loved the product, however I will be sticking with Keratase for future hair washes.

I received a deluxe sample of this in the mail, and I'm going to get straight to the point. I hate it.

My first use went swimmingly, the shampoo lathered like I remembered, and the smell was the same. I had missed Pantene, and since they switched up their formula I was excited to use it. The excitement ended the next morning when I woke up with a massive rats tail dreadlock, which was my entire freakin' pony tail! Curse the hair gods! I thought, not thinking it was the shampoo. I kept using it, relishing in that familiar smell.

It wasn't until my hair started to go really dry and frizzy, and literally unbrushable, did I realize it was the shampoo. I was pulling my hair out when I brushed because everything had knotted together. I had stopped using products like argan oil in my damp hair, and this shampoo brought out the worst in my hair. Unbelievable. I have used it for a solid week with no results but bad. I won't be purchasing a full sized bottle of this overpriced cr*p, not with these results.

this shampoo, even though it was sample size, made my scalp itch sooooo bad, that i had to buy chemist shampoo!

i think i may have had a reaction, because i scratched so bad, ive ended up with scabs. I had only just settled my dandruff issues, and this flaired something up in my scalp and it was raw, the chemist even told me to stay away from this.

so unfortunalty i cant give a good review on this, and i really wished i could.

I dont personally used patene because it is Vaseline based. and that is not good for your hair. i have already very damaged hair and i feel like it makes it worse. But then again everyone has there own opinion.

I wanted to like this product so much.....I've been a fan of pantene in the past but unfortuantely this missed the mark for me. I have curly, frizzy hair and found this shampoo (and its matching conditioner) left my hair and scalp feeling dry (I found this shampoo really made my scalp dry and itchy, making my dandruff worse!!!) and brittle. Sadly I won't be using this again.,
