I relax my hair several times a year so I was looking forward to trying items from the Truly Relaxed line. So when <a title=\"Glam Media\" href=\"http:\/\/glam.com\" target=\"_blank\">Glam Media<\/a> sent me Pantene&#8217;s Truly Relaxed Moisturizing Shampoo, Moisturizing Conditioner and Pro-V Oil Cr\u00e8me Moisturizer, I was excited to try them out!<\/p>\n<p>I wash my hair about twice a week (any more than that and it gets super dry), so I swapped out my usual shampoo and conditioner for Pantene. <strong>Pantene&#8217;s Pro-V Truly Relaxed Shampoo<\/strong> is specially designed to gently cleanse relaxed hair, and that it did. Some shampoos tend to strip my hair, making it feel super dry and weak, but after using Pantene&#8217;s, my hair felt moisturized and strong.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I used <strong>Pantene&#8217;s Pro-V Truly Relaxed Moisturizing Conditioner<\/strong>, which is enriched with coconut and jojoba oils. I applied it (with extra on the ends) and left in on for a while, as I usually do with my conditioner to really let it soak in and enrich my hair. After washing it out, my hair was easy to comb through.<\/p>\n<p>Then I applied <strong>Pantene&#8217;s Pro-V Truly Relaxed Oil Cr\u00e8me Moisturizer<\/strong> which also has an oil-enriched formula designed to moisturize, defend against damage and dryness, and leave hair shiny, silky and soft.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d say it worked well, right?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/whatshaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_20130409_002326.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21215\" alt=\"My hair after using Pantene Truly Relaxed products\" src=\"http:\/\/whatshaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_20130409_002326.jpg\" width=\"590\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Pantene Truly Relaxed and Truly Natural\" href=\"http:\/\/ad.doubleclick.net\/clk;267290703;92851948;v;pc=[TPAS_ID]\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21258\" alt=\"PANTENE LOGO\" src=\"http:\/\/whatshaute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Pantene-Logo.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTruly Relaxed and Truly Natural &#8211; Two collections From Pantene for healthier hair* no matter what your style.<br \/>\n<em>*Vs. non-conditioning shampoo<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Disclosure: Compensation was provided by Pantene via Glam Media.
