Pantene Pro V Blends Micellar Shampoo Review

I honestly thought micellar shampoo was going to be a bit of a gimmick - I mean the whole point of micellar water is that you don't have to wash it off; so how would putting it in a shampoo, that you do rinse off, be any better than a regular shampoo?

Well. It just is. I don't know the science behind it all. What I do know is that my hair felt so clean after use, but not squeaky or stripped. This doesn't tangle your hair as you use it - I managed to get a wide tooth comb through just shampooed hair with very little effort.

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

Since my favourite shampoo was discontinued I have been on the hunt for a shampoo that leaves my hair clean while not irritating my scalp (and doesn't cost a small fortune). Pantene Pro V Blends Micellar Shampoo ticks all those boxes.

The packaging is glorious - It looks very salonesque and the pump makes it easy to dispense the perfect amount. The scent is DIVINE. Again - salonesque. It makes washing your hair a lovely experience and my hair smells lovely throughout the day.

I can't claim to understand how micellar works in shampoo, other than guess it removes dirt and oil much like micellar water removes makeup from the face, but I do believe this shampoo has made a difference to my hair. It feels cleaner, and it's nowhere near as oily - I usually have to wash daily but with Pantene's Micellar Shampoo I can go two days, which is a miracle for me! My scalp is easily irritated, and since using this I would say the itchiness has calmed right down.

I will repurchase and I will hope that, unlike my last favourite shampoo, it's never discontinued.

This was a pretty short turn around review so I decided to trial it a little differently. I had 4 days to trial, I usually wash my hair three times a week, so in the quest for authenticity I decided to wash my hair on day one and not again until day four. I really wanted to see how many days I could get between washes.

The bottle is nice, a slightly clinical and simple look which I like. There is also a great pump top. The scent is beautiful, it is strong which I really enjoy, it’s a nice fresh clean scent, not too fruity or sweet - just gloriously crisp.

The shampoo lathered up to a nice creamy foam which washed out easily, straight away my hair felt clean. I often double shampoo but I didn’t need too. After shampooing on day one I felt comfortable enough to wear my hair out still on day 2 with little greasiness, day three I wore it up, it would have been good to shampoo here! I think this shampoo would be good every second day. It was nice and gentle but still a good cleanse!

I was excited to try this shampoo and conditioner combo because I wash my hair a lot as I work out every day (sometimes twice a day). My hair is fine and therefore often flyaway with too much washing and conditioners that leave behind an overly "silky" feel.

The packaging is very elegant and the product looks luxurious and expensive.

The pump action dispenser gives you a set amount which doesn't look like a lot but actually lathers up to be quite good coverage. Probably a little more than I need. It smells delicious and leaves your hair feeling smooth and very clean. It doesn't feel like it 'leaves behind' product like some shampoos. My hair feels great using this range and the flyaways have definitely landed!

I really like the pump bottle! It’s so easy to use in the shower when you have slippery hands. I like the ridges on the bottle too, helps with grip!

The smell of the shampoo is so good! It’s fresh and reminds me of cucumber and watermelon. My hair smells delicious hours after I’ve washed it too which is good!

The shampoo lathers up really well and I feel like it really cleans my hair well. It doesn’t weigh my hair down either which is a plus!!

I like the look of the packaging, does not look crass. Also It comes in a pump that is easy to dispense. The smell of the shampoo is quite pleasant, not too chemically or heady. The shampoo felt quite light in consistency compared to other shampoos but created enough lather. I have oily scalp and dry ends. After washing my hair felt really soft and smooth. The best thing I liked about this shampoo is there was hardly any hair breakage. I have hair below shoulder length and with other shampoos there tends to be some broken hair but none with this one. It definitely gets a tick from me

Absolutely cannot fault this shampoo at all! Both me and my sister have used it and we’re so happy with how clean it makes our hair feel! It’s super gentle (no harsh chemicals) and has a pleasant scent too! Would definitely recommend and i’ll be purchasing this once it runs out!

I was lucky enough to be selected as part of the trial team for this product, and I'm sure glad I did otherwise I probably wouldn't have paid $13 for a 300ml bottle (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 because of the opaque font. Now we all know it's whats on the inside that counts, so enough about the packaging! The texture is like most other shampoos I've tried but definitely less gel like. Already feels more "natural". It lathers really well and the smell is incredible. It's floral, and I'd say almost hairdresser'y (great English ha!!), but it is quite strong so if you didn't like the scent it might be a bit overbearing. It washes out easily and left my hair feeling clean but not stripped, and definitely softer than it normally feels after regular Pantene (my normal shampoo). So all in all I think this shampoo is fantastic. Definitely worth the extra pennies! I'll be buying it and keeping stashed away from my children and hubby!

I'm a bit of a salon snob, so I'm really surprised by how much I love this product!

The packaging is really nice and functional - I love a pump bottle for hair care - why do so many supermarket products still have a flip lid?!

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

The shampoo isn't too thick and I didn't need much for my hair length (bob), maybe one pump? I tried double cleansing with this, but I honestly don't think you need to unless you have a lot of product maybe. My hair was mostly free from knots before I got the conditioner!

The shampoo left my hair shiny and manageable, and it felt clean and free from product build up. For the price, I'm actually blown away by how good this is!

I have only used this a few times but I'm liking it so far. The pump bottle is great. My hair feels clean and soft. Lovely scent too which stays in my hair so I smell good too! Looking forward to seeing how I go with this with longer use.
