Like the conditioner, I had tried this yonks ago and didn't fall in love with it at all. Didn't find it did anything for my short hair so when this trial came up, I just had to put my hand up to see if they had improved their formula after all these years. Here are the results.
The container is good as it prevents it getting mixed up with the conditioner which is always a bonus for me because I get sick and tired of picking up the wrong bottle of other brands as they are exactly the same.
The formula I find is a bit more thicker than it used to be and I find that you don't need a lot of this, maybe the size of a 50c coin, but then again it also depends on the length and thickness of your hair. I have short thick hair so don't really require lots as it lathers up really well, too much of the shampoo I find is really hard to get out and takes ages to wash it out. I think what I liked about this formula is that it left my hair feeling soft and a little silky before I had applied the conditioner which I always like and tells me its a good brand, some leave my hair feeling like birds nest at the back. This one was good.
The fragrance was nice just like the conditioner, a fruity type hint I think it is, I'm useless when it comes to describing scents, so don't hold me to the fruity part lol.
The actual results I found were pretty much like the conditioner, after the first use, left my hair soft, shiny, clean and with a little bounce. I don't believe it has a wow factor and perhaps for me it never will as I'm super fussy when it comes to my hair, but it has improved and I really like that Pantene are always striving to improve their formula to satisfy their customers. A thumbs up for that Pantene.
Based on my fussiness, this shampoo really isn't for me unfortunately but it was fun trialling it out, so thanks so much for this opportunity Beauty Review xx
i normally use salon products only on my hair. My hair is quite damaged from lightening, straightening and blow drying. I was pleasantly surprised with this shampoo. Nice simple and functional packaging. Smells yummy and the consistency is just right. It lathers up really nicely so don't have to use much and leaves my hair feeling nice and clean after one shampoo. I have noticed quite a lot of improvement in the look and feel of my hair - both for the better. I have a sensitive scalp which is prone to getting really itchy with some shampoos but I haven't had any problems with this one. I've also used this on my daughters hair. She's prone to oily scalp and really dry lengths and ends. Her hair also seems to love this shampoo. Overall I'm pretty stoked with this product and will be buying more for sure :)
