Pantene Smooth and Sleek Hairspray
by basketofbuttons
I had stopped using Pantene products on my hair for a long time as I was beginning to feel like they were actually making my hair look a bit flat and lifeless. That was about a year ago but since then I have returned to using a few products on and off again. I have to be careful what I use on my hair as it's really prone to greasy ... roots but it also has the added problem of dry ends and split ends into the bargain. I have used products on the Pantene Sleek and Smooth range before but they really didn't suit my hair type as whilst they did wonders for my dry ends, they really did contribute towards making my roots even greasier than they were before.
However .... I have started to use Pantene Hairspray which is also in the Sleek and Smooth range and this works well for my hair for some reason. I paid quite a bit for this standard sized 300ml tin of hairspray a few weeks ago, £3.49 to be exact but I thought I'd give it a try as I had been reading about how good it's supposed to be, it's also designed to be suitable for all hair types and it was being promoted as good for frizz and humidity. My hair isn't particularly frizzy, but it can be quite fly away so I thought hat this might work for me.
All I can really say about this hairspray is that it does still allow for natural movement of my hair whist it adequately keeps my style in place. I would have actually preferred it to have slightly more hold as one or two pieces will inevitably fall out during the course of the day. The fragrance is nice, quite a bit stronger than I had anticipated, but it soon wears off after the hairspray has had time to dry.
It's the sort of hairspray which doesn't leave my hair feeling as though it has build up and it doesn't look like it's got hairspray on. It brushes out well and washes out well without leaving any residue behind but in all honestly, I cannot say that it does anything for me personally in terms of fly away hair. My hair will still fly away at odd angles and maybe I need something slightly more industrial strength than this particular spray can offer me. It's not as good as I had hoped it would have been as it's too gentle for me and I feel as though I have to spray a lot of it to get the sort of result I want.
Overall, I'm not especially pleased with this hairspray. It does an okay job abut really I also think it's quite overpriced and it's the name I am possibly paying for rather that the hairspray's ability to do what it states it can do for my hair.
I only give it three stars and that's being really generous.

Pantene Smooth & Sleek Shampoo
by Taz123456
==PRICE==
I purchase mine from my local Asda supermarket for around £2.80, however it can sometimes be found cheaper at Home bargains from time to time, or even at other supermarkets when there are offers on. The price is reasonable, and is the price that I have come to expect from most well known good quality branded ... shampoos.
==DESIGN==
The packaging is very simple and similar to other Pantene shampoo & conditioner bottles; it is made from plastic material and has a black flip open lid located at the top. The Pantene logo clearly visible on the front as long with the information stating what the product is.
==PRODUCT==
The shampoo liquid has an nice thick texture, feeling nice and velvety to the touch. The most noticeable thing upon pouring the shampoo is the nice lovely fragrance, its personally hard to really describe the scent, all I can really say is that it's a gorgeous smell that is refreshing.
When massaging it into my hair and scalp it instantly lathers up into a nice thick foam, making it very easy to apply and spread along my hair. I also found that due the nice lathering effect, that I do not necessary need a large amount as a small reasonable amount seems to go a long way and reach all parts of my long hair.
I am personally not a huge fan of using conditioners and try not to use it that often, mainly due to it being time consuming using both shampoo and conditioner one after the other, and secondly I find that using conditioners can make my hair become greasy more quicker than when I do not use it. Thankfully using this shampoo means I do not have to worry about using any conditioners as it not only cleans my hair but also leaves my hair nice and soft and frizz free.
My hair was very easy to untangle and style the way I wanted, and it also smelt nice and fresh. It had a nice glimmer to it too that I was happy to notice. The other advantage of using this shampoo was that it also had long lasting effects on my hair, for example if I missed washing my hair for a day, my hair did not seem at all greasy or dirty. However I am still a bit of a clean freak, so tend to wash my hair everyday.
==VERDICT==
I conclude that this is a great shampoo that I would happily recommend to my friends and all review readers. It smells nice, has a nice foaming effect and makes my hair manageable and soft as well as clean. It is basically like having a shampoo and conditioner in one bottle for the price of one.
