Pantene Pro V Blends Micellar Regime Review

I was lucky enough to be selected as part of the trial team for these products, and I'm glad I did otherwise I probably wouldn't have paid $13 each for 300ml bottles (tight-arse, I know!). Starting with the packaging, it's sleek, it's minimal, it has a salon vibe to it which reflects what's inside the bottle. It's a pump top bottle which is totally up my alley; fast, no mess, and once you know how many pumps you need there's no wastage from an accidental over squeeze! Extra bonus is the bottle is see through so you can see how much product is left without having to do that 'do I need to buy more shampoo' bottle shake. The only negative I have is that the ingredients are hard to read on the back of the Shampoo bottle because of the opaque font. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell amazing. They make you feel like you're at the salon and the smell still lingers in your hair 2 days later! My hair which is fully highlighted usually gets greasy roots after 1 day but stays dryish at the ends, so I struggle to find a shampoo and conditioner regime that is balanced enough to not over do it with moisturising my roots or under do it and leave it too dry at the ends. This is by far the best I have tried - a title previously held by L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Fibralogy regime. 2 days after washing and my hair still isn't greasy at the roots and feels nice and soft - without the 'coating' of silicon. For me the price is on the expensive end as I have a young family and normally everyone uses the same shampoo and conditioner BUT it's something that I will buy and keep away for me to use because it's worth the extra cost.

Thank you for the opportunity to review these products. I really am a fan of silicon free conditioner in particular and am pleased with this one I feel Pantene got a negative view from alot of people in the past because of what was in their products and the affects on the hair so development of a silicone dye and paraben free option is given me high hopes for their reputation now and I think this series will be great marketing and appealing to customers. I have learned more about micelles / micellar water skin and hair products as a result of being able to trial these products because it inspired me to find out about them for the review and interest. I am keen to see what their next micellar and or silicone free line is like and I do like this conditioner. I like the shampoo too but will stick to using it once a week as I found it too harsh and I got an itchy scalp from frequent use. It is a shampoo that deep cleans like a clarifying one but for me I disagree that it is gentle enough for daily use. Micelles combined with other alcohol agents in the shampoo are quite drying and may take too much natural oils from your hair like sulphates. So while the two products are designed to be used as a set I will try the conditioner with my other shampoos / more frequently than the shampoo. I possibly would re purchase the conditioner. I like the scent 8f the conditioner it scent seems strong enough. Often I find matching conditioners smell faint compared to its partnering shampoo. I dislike the packaging of the products as I think while the extra sticker is there to grab attention they should just write what's on the sticker on the original label. The pump dispensers can be closed but you need to push them down to do this then screw them shut and this is fiddly, causes product waste and doesn't make the products travel friendly for me. The pro vitamin b5 is what I think loyal pantene users love and reading up about it makes it sound very appealing to hair and I like that it is also in this new micellar product. The sea minerals / salt will help boost circulation of the scalp supporting hair growth, purify and help hair to keep its natural shape for example help emphasize and maintain natural curls and waves in the hair. Be aware that continues use of sea salt products is drying too though. To conclude; so far I'm enjoying the conditioner and I think if your into micellar products you might like to try these. Also if your hair is weighed down and you feel like a scalp and hair detox consider trying the shampoo. I do not recommend it if you have sensitive or dry scalp. If you prefer warm heavier sweet musky scents to fresh than you may not like the scent of this.
