Product Review: Pantene PRO V Restoratives Shampoo and Conditioner

I tried this product called Pantene PRO V Restoratives shampoo. I also tried the conditioner. The particular one I tried is called breakage defense. Which of course is exactly what it sounds like. This product claims that with continued use you will have less hair breakage. Now I am not going to say that this isn't true as I didn't use the product long enough to know. That is also something that may very from person to person any way. What I will say is my opinion of these products:

Shampoo:

I feel that the shampoo did a good job at cleaning my hair but, it was kind of hard to use. The shampoo is a thick clear blue gel like substance. I found it hard to work it through my hair. The shampoo lathered up well but, it took a little bit of work to get it to do so. This product didn't rinse out really hard, but it wasn't really a quick and easy rinse either. After completing the rinse my hair felt really coarse before putting the conditioner on.

Conditioner:

The conditioner is a thick creamy blue substance. I found that it took a lot of conditioner to cover my hair. It took quite a bit to get it worked all through my hair as well and it seemed to take me longer than usual to get the conditioner rinsed out.

Price and packaging:

I purchased both of these products in an 8.5 ounce tube for $5.99 each. The tubes are easy to handle and convenient to use with no mess. The styling of the tube makes them easy to store in a cabinet or to leave sitting in the shower. I don't really have any complaint about the packaging of these products.

My over all opinion of these products:

I do not feel that these are the best products Pantene has put on the market. I am not saying that they don't clean and condition well but, I didn't find them to be that easy to work through my hair. My hair felt clean and conditioned but no where near as well as it does with other Pantene products. They did the job as far as cleaning and conditioning goes but, I don't feel that my hair was as soft and shiny as with other Pantene products. In fact I don't feel it was even close. My hair was manageable after using these products I just don't feel that the over all look of my hair itself was as nice. Others may have better luck with these products than I did but, myself I don't feel they are worth the $5.99 a tube and will not be buying them again. I hope that others have better luck with this product.
