I’ve tried Pantene products in the past and despite the flowy hair I’ve seen on the commercials, I achieved no such success. But I was open to trying it again once a friend told me about Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural products for Women of Color. I recently received the Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural for Women of Color Intensive Moisturizing Shampoo (oil-enriched formula), Intensive Moisturizing Conditioner (oil-enriched formula) and Breakage Defense Deep Conditioning Mask to review. The line features Pantene’s signature pro-vitamins and essential oils, and is designed to strengthen weak hair against breakage and protect it against dryness. And the collection is available at your local drugstore and is quite affordable.

So I eagerly welcomed the chance to try Pantene’s new line of products for women of color to see if it could hold up to my finicky hair. The Moisturizing Shampoo left my hair feeling clean and fresh and super slick. However, because my hair is naturally dry, I desperately needed a conditioning treatment to follow. I decided on the deep conditioning mask which is designed to nourish and strengthen hair. I applied it to my hair and left it on for about ten minutes or so while doing other things around the house. After rinsing, my hair felt incredibly soft and light, and a lot stronger and healthier. I then styled as usual and my hair was bouncy and full of life just like on the commercials. Mission accomplished!

I think I now have Pantene model-worthy hair. Don’t you?
