Pantene Pro V Blends Micellar Conditioner Review

This was a pretty short turn around review, I had 4 days to trial and I usually wash my hair three times a week.

The bottle is nice, a slightly clinical and simple look which I like. There is also a great pump top. The scent of the conditioner is lovely, it isn’t as strong as the shampoo. It’s a nice fresh clean scent, which I really enjoy.

The formula is nice and creamy, not too heavy but still thick enough to feel really moisturising. It smoothed on to my hair really nicely and washed out well leaving my hair feeling nice and smooth.

I let my hair dry naturally and it was great, no frizz and it even dried faster than normal which I understand is a good sign of healthy hair! True or not it was convenient! I could comfortably not wash my hair on day two, I was ready to by day three!

I don’t normally use Pantene as they are known for the sulphates which is a drying substance but I was surprised by what I got out of it.

The conditioner has the consistency of a creame and it has a very strong floral scent, lathers well in the hair and rinses very easy as well.

After I had used the conditioner for the first time (which coated my hair well), my hair felt nice. I used the conditioner a few more times just in case to see if there was any change and it dulled my colour and dried my hair out but not as bad as I expected to be honest.

I wouldn’t use again as I don’t want dry hair but I’ll put aside and will try again at another time.

If like me you have oily roots but dry ends, you're always looking for a conditioner that will be nourishing enough to tame tangles but not weigh hair down or encourage more oil production. This conditioner is probably better for the latter than the former. I have fine hair which is prone to tangles, unfortunately this wasn't quite as effective for smoothing these out. However, I can imagine that there will be people out there that will find the level of moisture just right.

I LOVE Pantene Conditioner - Always Smooth is my shower staple. It leaves my hair beautifully conditioner, silky smooth and I swear it helps with frizz. With this in mind I was so excited to try this conditioner.

I love the packaging - it's really luxurious looking and I do enjoy a good pump. The scent of the conditioner is amazing. The creamy conditioner applied well and did leave my hair feeling soft and looking shiny.... BUT it didn't detangle my hair as well as Pantene Always Smooth, and I found when blowdrying and brushing my hair my brush/hand would get caught in tangles that aren't usually there.

I would use it again because I love the scent, but my preference is for its more affordable Pantene cousin.

I've only used this a couple of times but I am liking it so far. I love the pump bottle, easy to control how much I use. Has a great scent and feel to it. My hair feels soft and more manageable. Looking forward to seeing how I go with longer use.

I'm a bit of a salon snob, so I'm really surprised by how much I love this product! I'd heard the 'Pantene is full of silicones' tales when I was younger, and I'll be honest - I avoided it. So seeing this was free from silicones, parabens and dyes was a welcome sight.

The packaging is really nice and functional - I love a pump bottle for hair care!

The scent is ummy, nummy, yummy! You can smell it on your hair through the day, which I love.

This conditioner felt really luxe, it has that salon feel, where your hair just feels instantly better. However my hair is pretty chemically treated (and I don't mean treated well...) so I don't think I could rely on just this conditioner to nourish my hair. I will need to continue to use my salon mask. That being said, I am really enjoying this shampoo and its much friendlier on the budget!

The conditioner left my hair shiny and manageable. The only reason I didn't give it full marks is I'll continue using it, but I will rotate it with salon hair care.

Disclaimer - this is a first impressions review. I received the products on Thursday, and started using them on Friday. This review was written Sunday. I'll be coming back to update this at some stage soon! :)

Hair situation: Mine is shoulder length, and half year-old dye, half my natural silver grey.

Both: the packaging is attractive - I love the shorter squatter bottle shape. The pumps are securely locked initially, and when released dispense a good amount of product easily. I like the colouring, it vibes clean, fresh and modern. I absolutely hate the pointless extra labels that pop up - removed them immediately, and was mad at them for existing. Neither the shampoo nor the conditioner have a discernable scent. My hair dried (with a drier) pretty quickly after using this range, and blow dried reasonably smooth. After using my straightener it needed serum but looked good.

This conditioner is thick and white, and I needed 2-3x more conditioner than I did shampoo per use. This is pretty usual for supermarket brands, in my experience. I usually double condition my hair, but on the first use of this range I chose to use just this conditioner and see what happened. It coats hair well when you have enough of it, and has a slightly slippery texture to it that helps it move through hair well but made me wonder if it was sitting on my hair or actually soaking in. It's a little harder to wash out than the shampoo, again due to the texture of the product, i think, but only a little and still rinsed out cleanly. My hair didn't feel QUITE as hydrated as with my usual products, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.

After washing, drying and straightening my hair, it felt nice - clean and soft - but had definitely gone a tiny bit frizzy and dry looking, and needed a serum to calm down. This continued through the 2nd and 3rd washes, but didn't get any worse. I'll likely stick to using this every 2nd or third wash, with the more hydrating products in the middle. The non dyed part of my hair seems to like this a lot better than the dyed part, so it could well be that this isn't a hydrating enough range for the dyed parts of my hair.

This conditioner is really nice - it does that classic Pantene thing of making hair smooth and frizz-free without weighing it down.

I found I needed about 3 pumps for my hair, which is mid-back length. My ends are pretty knackered so I like to realllly condition them. I left it on for a few minutes in the shower whilst shaving my legs and using my body scrub.

It rinsed really easily and my hair felt like silk immediately. It was easy to style after too - it wasnt fluffy, it was just silky smooth.

I love the packaging (pumps yay!) of the range, the scent is heavenly and the price point really reasonable. All up - I'm wowed!

t comes in a pale blue pump bottle that dispenses just the right amount for me. It has a pleasant fragrance but not one that’s too full on. After rinsing out my hair was sleek, combed out super easy and was not too slippery to style. I really liked this and the whole range and I'll certainly be repurchasing.

Loved using this conditioner! It left my hair feeling so light and flowing! I did need to use a lot more of this than my regular conditioner and my hair wasn't as smooth to brush while it was still wet but it wasn't a huge deal and I really like how it has left my hair feeling! I would definitely use this again and recommend it to others
