Advantages: Its quick, it works

Disadvantages: The lid collects water!

I have a bottle of Pantene Pro-V 2in1 Smooth & Sleek shampoo & conditioner. I say that as Pantene also do "Pro-V 2in1 Classic Care" and "Pro-V 2in1 Sheer Volume", and the Dooyoo title doesn't specify which.

This is a shampoo and conditioner mixed in one bottle. I wouldn't use it every day because I think that combined products never do the job quite as well as two separate ones would. However, it is great on those school mornings when everything has gone a bit pear-shaped and I'm in a rush. Before I had children, this would be the shampoo I took swimming, but nowadays I consider myself lucky to leave the leisure centre with the same number of children that I went in with, and conditioning my hair is a long way down the list!

Sorry, major digression, I promise to start my 150 words here ...

--- The Packaging ---
It comes in a white squeezy bottle with a black flip-open lid. I like flip-tops as otherwise I tend to lose the lid amongst all the toys by the side of the bath. The bottle stands on either end which is useful when you're getting to the end of the bottle and don't want to wait for the shampoo to run down. My only criticism is that there is a dip in the lid which collects water if you leave it next to the shower, and the water runs inside the bottle. So when you take the bottle downstairs to review it, you think the bottle is dry but the water runs out and makes a puddle on your kitchen table ... Or perhaps would run out in your washbag if you were going away for the weekend!

--- The shampoo ---
The shampoo is white, creamy and enticingly shiny. It smells gorgeous - I love the smell of Pantene shampoos. Not overpowering, but enough to make me feel a little bit pampered.

--- Use ---
You don't need very much at all, so the bottle lasts a long while. It works into your hair very easily and does a good job of leaving it both clean and smooth. I often find that 2in1 shampoos only do one of the other but this one seems to manage both. Rinse it out, and you're done.

--- Result ---
A quick way of getting a good result. My hair is clean, and looks sleek and shiny. What's more, it still looks good on the second day. I don't use this every time so I don't know if it would have "build-up" problems after a lot of use. If I have the time I use a separate shampoo and conditioner.

--- Cost ---
£2.43 for a 250ml bottle or £2.97 for 400ml. Obvously the bigger bottle is better value, but it would last a very long time if you're not using it every day.

Summary: I'll buy this again
