Advantages: it works!!, lovely clean nonfirzzy hair

Disadvantages: none!!!

I cannot believe it - an advertising campaign with a product that actually lives up to my expectations. I was my normal dubious self when I saw the advert for Pantene Smooth and Sleek shampoo. I though there was no way that any shampoo could tame my tresses.

I should explain that I am horrifically lazy when it comes to beauty treatments and pampering myself. I go for the "natural" look - what you see is what you get (unless I'm going out on the town of course!). I have long straight hair that goes way past my shoulders and have done all my life (except for a traumatic 6 months but we won't talk about that!). Although my hair is straight, it has always been a bit fly away and a bit dry looking. If I'm going out for a special occasion I usually wash my hair the day before as it always looks better with a days dirt on it basically.

However, I had been slightly tempted by the flashy Pantene adverts that showed my sleek glossy hair that any man would be desperate to run his fingers through. While ion my weekly shopping trip to Sainsburys I noticed that it was on special offer and, as I needed shampoo, I decided to give it a bash.

The first thing I noticed was the fantastic rich deep lather that the shampoo produced. It was fantastic and I'll have to remember that I don't need to use as much shampoo as I usually do. A little goes a long way! The shampoo was cream in colour and very creamy in texture with a very light smell - no overpowering perfumes here. The conditioner was just as rich and with the same light fragrance.

Once out the shower I treated my hair as normal - a very brisk rub with a towel and blast it to death with a hairdryer for 10 minutes. I know that I probably could have had lovely sleek hair years ago if I spent ages blow drying my hair straight using a brush as they do in salons. Personally I have better things to do than spend 30 minutes drying my hair and, as I mentioned,
I am rather lazy!

Surely even after all this the shampoo wouldn't come up trumps? Even if it did I expected my hair to look as though I had dunked it in a bowl of grease. Well was I in for a shock!!! My hair was sleeker and smoother than it had ever been. Even the ends, which really needed cut, were smoother. My hair also felt lighter and the number of knots was reduced. My hair was actually sitting in a smooth layer rather than in separate sections as it normally did. There was a slight hint of the fragrance to my hair but only slightly. Not a trace of a bowl of grease in sight.

This stuff really is the business and I have to admit that Pantene have come up trumps with this one. If you have long hair you have to try it. My hair is long and thick and previously all the products were for thin hair that definitely excluded me! This is the first product that has really worked for me. It's a winner!!
