Pantene Pro V Curl Shaper Anti-Frizz Crème

I use it on my daughter's very curly hair that tends to frizz with humidity. It helps to straighten out the curl,and provide moisture necessary to combat the frizz. I used to use Friz ease, but this works so much better

I am pretty true to my fave hair care products but was getting sick of my lacklustre curls in the summer heat so I decided to try something new. I chose Pantene mainly because it was on sale and I am always too scared to spend a lot on new products in case they suck. Let’s just say, I am glad I got this one on sale. I have been holding off on reviewing it for quite some time now because I have such mixed feelings about this product. Half of the time my hair looks fantastic, and the product does everything it says it will (protects against humidity, makes my hair shiny and my curls are defined) however the other half of the time my hair looks crunchy and gross. I think there is a fine line between just enough and too much product – the problem is I can’t seem to find that balance. It seems to be somewhere between one and two pumps.

The crème itself is rather thick and somewhat gluey. It comes out as more of a putty in a pump than anything else. I think if you put just the right amount, and work it through your hair just right, your curls will look amazing. If not, there is either too little and your hair looks fuzzy, or too much and your hair looks (and feels) hard and crunchy (not to mention weighed down). I don’t have enough time in the morning to wrestle with temperamental hair products, so I’m sorry to say that I don’t recommend this one.
