Advantages: 2 in 1 means you only have to wash and rinse once, leaves hair smooth & looking great

Disadvantages: none

Recently I decided to have a look around for a new shampoo & conditioner; I currently use Head and Shoulders but found that it always seemed to leave my hair feeling dry and unmanageable so I wanted something that would leave my hair feeling smooth and keep it in good condition.

I had a good look at all of the various brands in my local supermarket and spotted Pantene, I used to use this years ago and was always pleased with the results so I decided to give it another go.

I decided to purchase the two in one bottle because firstly it was cheaper than buying both separately (I know they last longer as separates) and secondly I find it easier and quicker to just have to wash my hair the once (yes I'm that lazy).

The bottle
The bottle is a white plastic squeezy bottle with a black clip shut lid, the lid is flat so you can stand the bottle up on it (which means the shampoo is always at the lid end) and the clip shut lid means sure you don't have any spillages if the bottle is ever knocked over.

The label is a simple label it has the Pantene logo at the top and then a green flash with Smooth & Sleek Shampoo & Conditioner written in white (the colour of the flash changes depending on which shampoo you purchase). Then you have 2 in 1 written in green just below the flash. On the back you have all of the usual info like the ingredients and directions for use etc.

The Shampoo
The shampoo is white in colour and has a nice creamy smooth feel to it, it has a nice subtle smell to it but I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like.

The shampoo lathers up reasonably well, I find that I don't have to use very much of the shampoo (which means it last a long time) and I have very thick and long hair. As I am working the shampoo into my hair I can feel it getting softer and when I rinse the shampoo out I can run my fingers through my hair without getting them all tangled up.

Did it work?
Once I dried my hair it felt smoother and looked 100 times better than it has for a long time, my hair always looked thick and dry but after using this shampoo it was flatter and has a nice shine to it. When I used other shampoos I always had to straighten my hair afterwards to try and get it looking half decent but with this shampoo I can just dry it and walk straight out of the door so it saves me loads of time in a morning.

Cost & Availability
This shampoo cost me £3.89 for a 500ml bottle (should have been 400ml but got 25% extra free), this seems a pretty average price (Head and Shoulders is £3.84). Tesco do currently have a offer on of buy one get one free so it a bargain if you get it on that offer.

As I mentioned earlier there are different versions of this shampoo depending on what you hair is like, other available are:
Pantene Volume & Body 2 In 1, Pantene Classic Care 2 In 1 & Pantene Rich Volume 2 In 1

You can get all of these in either 250ml bottles or 500ml bottles (250ml cost £2.39)

Summary: A great shampoo that leave my hair feeling & looking great
