Pantene Curly Hair Series Detangler: Product Review

When I found out I could get a free sample of Pantene's new haircare line for all hair types, I was excited because it gave me an excuse to purchase and experiment with another hair product. During one of my routine shopping trips to the local drugstore, I mulled over many Pantene hair products and finally decided to try the Pantene Curly Hair Series Detangler. I chose this because my daughter's hair is naturally curly, and we are always looking for a good product that can help reduce tangles, breakage and tears during combing. After two weeks of using this detangler, here is my review on the Pantene Curly Hair Series Detangler.

Description

The entire series has been placed in newer, sleeker-looking bottles, which are very eye-catching. Before purchasing the detangler, I sprayed a bit in the palm of my hand to smell the scent of the product. Since this is for my daughter, I try not to get anything that's too strong, because if she feels like it's too strong then it will be the last time we use it. I found the scent to be flowery, but not over-powering, and very light on my hand. It didn't have a greasy feel, but I knew I wouldn't be able to tell until I tried it on my daughter's hair.

How It Was Used

After washing my daughter's hair, I raised it in layers and spritzed it with detangler. After that, I separated her hair into sections and began to use a fine-tooth comb on the ends. I found that I needed a little extra spray.

Although it is meant for curly hair, I also tried the Pantene Curly Hair Series Detangler on my straight hair. I used the product the same way by separating layers into my hair and started the combing process from the bottom. Due to the texture and thickness, I used a bit more than normal, but not quite as much as was needed for my daughter's hair. With the amount I used for both of our hair, it did not leave it looking oily or make it feel heavy.

Product Effectiveness

On the whole, I felt the detangler was not as good as I was hoping. The spray is as advertised and is light and non-greasy, which is a good feature, but we had to use a lot of spray to get each tangle out. I do understand my daughter is five and may have more tangles in her hair from daily actiivities. The product is not exactly what I expected it to be for my daughter's hair, but it was a good detangler for my own hair.

Cost

The cost of the detangler was $3.97 plus tax, which is affordable for the 8.5oz bottle, but I wouldn't purchase this product again for my daughter's curly hair. Although it worked well on my hair, I didn't find it effective enough for curly hair.
