I used to be a big fan of Pantene back in the 90s when I was a teen and it came in pastel coloured bottles, I still used it when they first reformulated it into the pearly white bottles but when they reformulated it again around 2004/2005 I stopped using it as the formula had become much too siliconey for my fine hair. The silicones when used sparingly can make hair feel silky and smooth but over time they build up and when you have fine hair like mine (super fine but lots of it) it weighs it down quickly and becomes lanky easily. I am happy to say that the 2014 reformulation of Pantene is great - they have removed all of the silicones from what I can tell/feel and see on the label. There are also no parabens on there that I can see which is another bonus in my book. There are a couple of forms of SLS but for me personally SLS isn't an issue but some people have allergies towards it. Overall it is an incredibly creamy formula which gets my hair clean, doesn't leave build up and the smell - amazing, it is the old perfumey Pantene aroma but with a fresher more fruity/musk scent and I love it - it is so strong though you can smell it through the plastic bottles long before you even open them, so those who are perfume sensitive might want to avoid this product but personally I love it and I can smell it for a good day after washing. Not quite as concentrated as the old formula from memory and I had to use a bit more than my usual shampoo to get a good clean, but it's still a big bottle and good value for the amount you get.
Not my fave, but second in line at the moment and I would definitely consider repurchasing.
Used in combination with the matching conditioner this shampoo leaves my hair clean, detangled and silky smooth without all the silicones of the Pantene of yore. Definitely worth trying if you haven't given Pantene a go in a while.
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 :)
