Review: Pantene Truly Natural haircare line

December 6, 2013

Pantene Truly Natural haircare line

I can’t say that there’s not a woman who I know who hasn’t tried Pantene. The brand has around for ages and at some point in every womans life they’ve sampled this delicious smelling shampoo, conditioner or styling product. The brand has really evolved over the past years and now there are so many products that I can’t even keep up with them anymore!

One product line that caught my eye was the Pantene Truly Natural Haircare Line. I’ve made the switch (once again) back to my natural texture and have tried almost every product that I can find that’s made for curly-haired ladies like myself. I recently had the opportunity to try the Pantene Clarifying Shampoo, Deep Conditioner, Defining Curl Custard and Argan Oil Shine Serum for styling which is specifically designed for naturally curly hair.

The Clarifying Shampoo removes build up in one lather, and is great for anyone that uses styling products throughout the week. The shampoo smells great and leaves hair with a fresh scent. It left my hair squeaky clean; I wish it had a bit more moisturizer in it to leave my hair softer and easier to comb through.

The Deep Conditioner is said to provide up to 72 hours of moisture. It was great to use after the shampoo because it made my hair a bit more manageable to comb through after the shampoo. Again, the scent is really nice, I could not stop smelling my hair. I think that most women would love how this conditioner leaves their hair smelling. The conditioner is light-weight which is nice for everyday use.

The Pantene Defining Curls Custard is said define curls and control frizz up to 24 hours, even in humid weather. I liked using it to slick my hair back into a neat curly ponytail. I found that a little product goes a long way; just a dollop is needed to control curls. I used a dime-sized amount to slick through my hair and get a nice lightweight hold.

The Pantene Shine Serum with Argan Oil does deliver a great shine. It works nicely around the edges of your face to control the tiny fly away strands of hair. This formula helps to combat frizziness and delivers a great looking shine. I loved using this product on the ends of my hair as well as my edges. I have some split end so it helped to give my hair a healthier appearance.

Overall I loved the line; its accessible and affordably priced. The products work well and smell insanely good! I particularly enjoyed using the serum because it helped to tame the stray hairs that make my hairstyle look frizzy. The serum gave my hair a nice shine and a healthy look to it. The conditioner was another favorite of mine because its light enough to use daily and thick enough to detangle the knots that my curly hair sometimes gets. Check out Pantene on Facebook and Youtube for more beauty news that you can use.

Review: Pantene Damage Repair Ampoules

August 31, 2010

In another post I discussed how Pantene has changed their look and their formula to create customized solutions for various hair care needs. I’d always liked Pantene because it smelled great and it left my hair clean, soft and smooth. I wasn’t sure how they could improve on the scent but they did, the new formula smells even better! My hair happens to fit the Medium-thick and color treated models so I have used products from those lines. For someone like me who happens to have dry, thick and color treated hair I need to use a rich conditioner as well as a deep conditioner on my hair on a weekly basis. After a recent trip to the gym I decided to give their Medium-thick Damage Repair Ampoules a shot and see what it could do for my hair. I used the ampoule not only as my deep conditioner but as the only conditioner that I was going to apply to my hair that day.

This damage repair formula comes in a 5 pack of single use ampoules. After washing my hair I applied one ampoule, worked it in thoroughly to the ends using a wide tooth comb and left it in for five minutes. The ampoule (pictured above) is a pretty small container (.34 oz) so I had hoped that it was enough to condition my hair and it was (if your hair is longer than your shoulders you may need 2 ampoules). I let my hair air dry and gave it a touch and it was silky smooth, much less frizzy. I would recommend this treatment because I have extremely dry hair and after using the damage repair formula (without applying any other conditioner) there was a noticeable difference in the appearance of my hair; it was much softer, shinier and less frizzy.

NEW Pantene Solutions

I sampled quite a few products from this line and I must say first off that these products smell amazing! I’ve been an avid Pantene user for as long as I can remember and I’ve always loved the smell of their products. I was a bit  surprised that a new scent was going to be introduced but I was pleasantly surprised by the new scent. I have color treated hair that is also fine and can get quite dry without proper moisturizing so I need quality products that keep my hair soft, shiny and do not fade my haircolor. One of the products that stood out to me the most was the Fine Hair Solutions Ultra-Light Moisturizing Treatment. This product is light but left my hair so silky smooth and did I mention that it smells great!? I would have to say that this is one of my favorites.

To test out their new product line, Pantene created 600 prototypes and tested 20,000 women worldwide to gain a thorough understanding of the ingredients needed to deliver the best results for each type of hair.  PANAS (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) measured a statistical improvement in womens moods in comparison between old Pantene products and the NEW Patense products. Now that’s research!

Will you be trying out the NEW Pantene Hair Solutions?
