When I was younger, I was told by a hairdresser to stay away from Pantene because it was not good for my hair, and me, being a trusting customer listened. However, when I saw the trial team for the Pantene shampoo and conditioner being shown, I knew I had to give this forbidden brand a try, just to see if my hairdresser was right.
My reviews tend to always start with the design on the bottle, and this one is no different. I actually really like the design of Pantene’s shampoo range. Not only is the container made of a relatively soft plastic so its easy to get the product out of it, but the shampoo lid sits facing up, whereas the conditioner lid faces down, which I love because I sometimes get confused. It also looks classy because of the simple white and gold colour theme used. I definitely think this product adds a touch of sophistication to my shower.
The shampoo is a white liquid with a slight sheen to it. It’s a good consistency, and I find a small amount can create a really good lather which means the shampoo is economical. Now I am a sucker for a product that smells good, and this one, well.. it smells really good. I can’t think of anything the smell reminds me of but it smells fresh, clean, and slightly sweet.
Some shampoos make my hair frizzy, and I mean really frizzy and I’m pleased to say this shampoo did not do this. It did an okay job at cleaning my hair, but I found it didn’t clean it quite aswell as it would have hoped, and like other shampoos do.
Overall, I think this is a good shampoo, but not great. I have never tried the original versions so have nothing to compare it too. I don’t know if my hair was healthier after every wash, but it did have a nice shine to it. I have to say, this is not my all-time favourite shampoo, but it does the job i suppose. However, I wont be rushing to the supermarket to repurchase this any time soon!
I love the fragrance of this shampoo. It is a shampoo that doesnt feel like it strips your hair down it also makes it feel soft and managable whilst in the shower. It left my hair nice and clean and its a shampoo that feels conditioning at the same time.
Tips: You only need to use a small amount focus on cleansing your scalp rather than the tips
