Pantene Pro V Blends Micellar Regime Review

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.

Shampoo: clear in colour, which distinguishes it from the conditioner easily and stops the moment of picking it up in the shower to check which is which. Lathers to quite a lot of foam, and the foam is quite light and airy. On first use the dyed ends of my hair felt a little dry after this, but we'll persevere. The non dyed upper parts felt nicer, so could just be the nature of the two parts of my hair. Washed out really easily from my hair, and didn't leave a scent. I use two pumps.

Conditioner: thick and white, but 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. I'm a major micellar skincare fan and was keen to see what it did for hair, but...... meh.

I have enjoyed using the Pantene Micellar regime and would recommend this to others. Both products had a good consistency to them and they were simple and easy to use with the pump system. I though they both gave good coverage , better than my current regime for the product used. I liked the look of the packaging. I was happy with the results - my hair was shiny after use and didn't need to be washed again for 3+ days. My hair can be frizzy on the day I wash my hair and i felt it was less frizzy after using the Pantene Range. I did find the smell of the product to be quite strong and little overpowering, but this while only while washing, and enjoyed the smell after use. I would recommend and will buy again.

I was lucky enough to be selected as part of the trial team for these products, and I'm glad I did otherwise I probably wouldn't have paid $13 each for 300ml bottles (tight-arse, I know!). Starting with the packaging, it's sleek, it's minimal, it has a salon vibe to it which reflects what's inside the bottle. It's a pump top bottle which is totally up my alley; fast, no mess, and once you know how many pumps you need there's no wastage from an accidental over squeeze! Extra bonus is the bottle is see through so you can see how much product is left without having to do that 'do I need to buy more shampoo' bottle shake. The only negative I have is that the ingredients are hard to read on the back of the Shampoo bottle because of the opaque font. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell amazing. They make you feel like you're at the salon and the smell still lingers in your hair 2 days later! My hair which is fully highlighted usually gets greasy roots after 1 day but stays dryish at the ends, so I struggle to find a shampoo and conditioner regime that is balanced enough to not over do it with moisturising my roots or under do it and leave it too dry at the ends. This is by far the best I have tried - a title previously held by L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Fibralogy regime. 2 days after washing and my hair still isn't greasy at the roots and feels nice and soft - without the 'coating' of silicon. For me the price is on the expensive end as I have a young family and normally everyone uses the same shampoo and conditioner BUT it's something that I will buy and keep away for me to use because it's worth the extra cost.

This series smells amazing! It reminds me of cucumbers and watermelon. I double shampooed which I felt really cleaned my hair well. The shampoo lathered up nicely and it didn’t feel drying on my hair.

The conditioner made my hair feel really hydrated and soft. I didn’t put the conditioner on my roots as I’ve had bad experiences in the past with other conditioners.

My hair smelled amazing for hours afterwards and people have been commenting on how shiny my hair looks!

I definitely love how they are in pump bottles. The shampoo bottle also has grooves on the side to help with grip in case you have slippery hands.

I had never heard of micellar products for hair before but genius! The packaging is beautiful and maybe I am biased as blue is my fave colour but it is appealing and decent sized bottles. I like that they have pumps however I do find this frustrating near the end of a product when you cannot get the last remaining amount out. The consistency is as you expect shampoo and conditioner to be and it spreads really easily as well as rinses out quickly and easily. The coverage is great, you really do not need to use too much at a time. The scent is pleasant however it does not smell like anything in particular. I did not open the bottle and have that moment of, "Ooh, this smells nice!" It was not unpleasant but I prefer a product to leave a nice smell in my hair after I have washed it and this doesn't have that effect. The cost of the product seems expensive but is on par with other micellar hair products. It is not a price I would generally pay for shampoo and conditioner unless it gave me really shiny and smooth results. I expected this product to do just that but it let me down there. It felt nice in my hair just after washing at night but by the following day, I did not find it partiularly shiny or smooth or nice like other products do and this was fairly disappointing. I do not think I would recommend it as I personally would not buy it myself due to the lack of result I got. I was really excited to try this product but I think the hype was a lot more than the actual result.

A nice light shampoo that doesn’t leave my hair feeling dry. This range smells amazing and would definitely recommend

The Pantene Pro V Blends Micellar Shampoo and Conditioner both come in a 300ml baby blue bottle. The bottle is stylish and cute at the same time. Both bottles are pump which is perfect for the shower as this gives you complete control of how much you are using. You are also easily able to unscrew the pump to get the last little bits out of the bottle. I have medium to long hair and found 2 squirts the shampoo was just right for my hair. I am still trying to work out if I need more for the conditioner as found this really hard to actually spread/massage into my hair like I would with my usual conditioner. After using the shampoo my hair felt and smelt amazing! I then moved onto the conditioner and found my hair felt dry and flat. However once my hair dried, it felt light, healthy and shiney. The scent of both products is fantastic and is deffinitely long lasting. I have used these for 3 washes and I have already noticed a massive difference in my hair. *The scent actually stays in my hair - with all the other shampoos and conditioners I have used, the scent washes away with the residue in the shower. *My hair feels light and smells so fresh - it has a healthy shine and looks so healthy. *I have psoriasis and this has not flared up in the slightest *This is the first shampoo/conditioner combo that I actually dont have to use daily. My hair retained a healthy, natural shine for 2 days *The best thing is I have found it so much easier to style my hair.

These will become a regular in my supermarket trolley.

Using these 2 together is the best thing I have ever come across so far for my extreme oily roots and dry ends its left my hair soft and silky and such a big difference just from the 1st wash it's even tamed my dizziness down and has given my hair a new leave in life it's made my hair so much more controllable and easy to do each day I love it and would highly recommend anyone with oily roots going on to give it a try u would be disappointed both shampoo and conditioner r fantastic smelling and does exactly what it says it will it has a great price point for the outcome u get.

After using this only a couple of times, I believe these products would be gentle enough to use everyday. They smell great and the pumps on the bottles is a great feature. I used 2 pumps of each product per wash and my hair felt clean and well conditioned. I did find that my hair was fluffy and extremely knotty after washing and conditioning. For the price I don't think I would purchase these as I would rather use my usual brand.
