Pantene Ultimate 10 BB Crème Review

Smells amazing does not way hear down makes hair smooth and soft you can use as a leave in or as a styling cream. Versatile as far as uses and the different hair types you can use it with

This is the first BB creme for hair I have tried. I found it good for when I am blow drying my hair as my hair can get really knotty and be hard to brush. It's a great texture not too thick or runny, and doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. My hair is quite damaged so it doesn't make it that soft and healthy looking but it does make a bit of a difference. It tames my flyaways and frizz though. I love the smell of this product, it smells like a moisturiser, and not too strong.

I never knew there was a BB creme for hair until being on this trial, the concept made me so excited, I had tried many leave in hair treatments in the past and there has only been 1 that I absolutely love but because of the price I haven't been able to afford to buy it for a long.

The BB creme comes in a gold plastic bottle, its striking to the eye and lightweight. It comes with an easy to dispense pump and gives a 50 cent size amount of product per pump. The directions say to apply this to damp hair but I have noticed my hair soaks up the product and once its dry you cant tell any difference. Instead I wait for my hair to dry naturally and once its dry I apply the BB creme to the middle lengths and ends of my hair. I notice a significant difference after applying this to my hair, after a few hours later my hair becomes dry again, the ends become visibly dry and hard to manage.

I dont think I will be purchasing this in the future because even though I saw a difference after applying this to my hair, a few hours later my hair is back to its normal dry state.

This was the product I was most excited to receive as I use frequently skin BB cream so the prospect of a BB cream for your hair sounded amazing.

The product promotes the following 10 promises: Helps prevent split ends, strength against breakage, smoothes, moisturised feel, shine, manageability, detangling, frizz control, heat protection and softness.

Putting it to the test from day 1, I applied 3 pumps (my thick hair needed an additional amount to the recommended 2 pumps) this formula is a clear opaque colour that is quite creamy in texture, not sticky or leaving any residue on you or your hair. For the first couple of days I suffered some really bad hair days for frizz breakouts so this BB crème didn’t help at all for that. It need however give my hair shine and softness all during the trial week. Aside from the first couple of days my hair got more manageable and I did see a reduction to tangle in my curls. I can’t comment on the heat protection as I don’t use any tools that create heat such as hair dryers, curling tongs, or straightens on my hair at all to be able to say if this BB crème provides any protection against it. I had noticed though that I wasn’t suffering for as much hair loss at time of cleaning then I normally do so I put that down as the strengthening against breaking agent at work. I haven’t suffered from split ends in over 6-7 years now so I also cannot comment on its promise to help prevent them, all I can say is that it wasn’t harsh and drying so I think it definitely hasn’t created any new ones. It did seem to weigh my hair down and I lost a lot of curl definition and bounce but I feel this is through making my hair softer, it seemed to make it more fluffy which in turn made it heavier, resulting in my curls just lying flat and creating a bit of frizz from this. However, on day 4 after I used a treatment the BB crème seemed to have a different effect and didn’t make my hair so fluffy and soft so the curls laid lovely and continued to do so for the next 3 days.

So I can’t really see what the BB crème actually did as I feel the shampoo and conditioner I was also trialling affected my hair by making it softer as well, so the BB crème was kind of a mute point. I still needed to apply my regular oil to the tips to prevent the major frizz breakouts that you get from overly dry hair so the BB crème was just an added step that I don’t I’d bother purchasing again as I really never saw any great results to convince me too.
