    I was actually really surprised by this shampoo! From my experience with Pantene i found it a really heavy shampoo that would strip my hair bare., like it it would be so harsh that my hair would start shedding!
    with the aqua light my hair felt clean but not stripped I'm not a big fan of Pantene but this left me impressed
    the smell was lovely and wasn't heavy at all. If you've used Pantene before and didn't like it I suggest trying this one out!

    I have been using the shampoo and conditioner for a while now, and I really enjoy . It actually does make your hair feel lighter which is surprising! It does really well stripping off all the product you put in your hair during the day, but doesn't strip your actual hair.

    I did like that the shampoo and conditioner are light weight as it is, and it lathers up really nice

    I also made my sister use it and she was very pleased with the results as well!

    I received this product as part of Chickadvisor's product review club.

    I've always loved the hair models in the Pantene commercials but the original formulations never worked for me since they had so much buildup with repeated use.

    I have fine straight hair that goes super flat, especially since my hair is longer than shoulder length. This is a great shampoo for flat hair. I love the scent and the clear shampoo gives the impression of light and airy. This impression translates into real life benefits for me. My hair stayed clean with every other day washing. My hair wasn't weighed down and felt clean, but not stripped.

    Nice suds and scent. I got a spontaneous compliment on my hair shortly after switching over, so that's a great endorsement! I would buy this once I run out.

    I usually use shampoos for color treated hair so I normally wouldn't have picked this up on my own. As soon as I opened it I was impressed by the smell. It smelled great! I love how easy it was to lather and it didn't weigh my hair down. I definitely would recommend this shampoo.

    The first thing I noticed about this shampoo is the smell. It was so nice and refreshing and I knew I would love the smell on my hair. For a lightweight shampoo it works up a good lather and works into your hair. It left my hair light and healthy. Usually shampoo's weigh my hair down and I didn't get that from this one. Overall I would say try it and I'm sure you'll like it. I will mos likely purchase it again.

    I received this product free to test as part of chick advisor's product review club. I loved the smell of this shampoo, the texture was unique as it is light but a small amount covers very thick hair. It made my hair shiny & decreased frizz without leaving it heavy with product. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fresh clean without heavy residue.

    Enjoyed the overall experience of the product...love the light scent, not to overpowering or perfumey...enjoyed the shampoo and conditioner...I have very thick hair and it feels quite heavy sometimes..I felt that this product definitely made it feel lighter and less frizzy...it left it feeling clean and with a nice shine
    I didn't really notice that the heat resistant spray did anything personally...and made my hair feel like there was a film on it kind of..
    I would definitely recommend the shampoo and conditioner to friends and family...I think you get a salon feel for great price...I would not personally recommend the heat spray...







    Thanks Chick Advisor, another great product that I love now!!!!

    I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
    The overall experience was it was refreshing to use, the smell was amazing during the shower and left a very mild pleasant smell after, which is great - not overpowering.
    The quality was wonderful, however, my hair was a more frizzy than usual. Then again, that is why we use conditioner.
    I will buy again when on sale as I enjoyed using it in the shower.

    1. How was your overall experience with this product (e.g. effectiveness, quality, scent, etc)?

    I have to say that at first I wasn't too impressed with this product. My hair is thin so at first I didn't like how lightweight it actually was. I know I know, that is the purpose of this product however I found it to be too light weight first wash. It caused many flyaway hairs to be sticking up everywhere and my hair was hard to style the way I prefer. After using it for 5-6 washes now I am really starting to love it! The effectiveness of the product is great and I definately use it going forward. The quality holds up to what you would expect from Pantene and it smells great.

    2. How did the product perform according to its advertised benefits (e.g. weightless texture, clean rinsing formula, hydration, etc)?

    Weightless texture - check, clean rinsing - check, hydration - check!

    3. Would you consider purchasing this product in the future and/or recommend it to a friend?

    Definately.

    I received this free from ChickAdvisor, and I was pretty excited to see if it would really make my hair feel "weightless".Since I tried this with the accompanying Conditioner, I'm not sure which result should be attributed to which product, but I'll try my best.

    First, I love the scent of this product. Some cheaper shampoos seem to have too much fragrance, while others don't really have a fruity or "fun" scent. To me, this shampoo has achieved the perfect balance between "shampoo clean" and "fruity and fun" (both scents which I love, but in moderation only).

    This product is easy to lather (don't use too much!) and rinses quite well. It also didn't leave my hair feeling super-dry in between rinsing off the shampoo and putting on the conditioner.

    I've tried this product twice now, and I'm glad I did, as it helps paint a clearer picture of what its results. The first time I used this shampoo and the conditioner, I noticed flakes at the roots of my hair, especially at the hairline. This has happened to me before, and it might have been slight dandruff and water droplets. (I've been using a 3-in-1 anti-dandruff shampoo/conditioner/treatment for years now, though I'm not sure that I need the "anti-dandruff" part of it...) Anyways, I freaked out and tried using water to get it out. By the second day, the dandruff/water had disappeared. The second time around, I made sure shampoo well my hairline area, and above all, rinsed everything well. There were no little white flakes this time.

    Also, I'm not sure if it's due to my mind or not, but the day after using the shampoo and conditioner for the first time, my hair did feel very light and bouncy. My hair was also less "poufy" then usual the day after I washed it and slept with wet hair (like I always do). I wash my hair every 3 days (it might seem disgusting, but it works for me) and usually, after I wash it and sleep with my hair wet, my hair isn't very manageable the next day. After using the shampoo and conditioner a second time around, I'm not sure exactly how "weightless" my hair is due to these two products. I just cut off my long hair a few weeks ago, but I do remember that if I took the time to blowdry my hair right after washing it, my hair would feel as silky and weightless as it feels after using this Pantene combo.

    So bottom line: yes, this product does meet its claims, but not in a "OMG, something THAT amazing exists?" kind of way. With close comparison, I did notice my hair being slightly more silky, smooth, manageable, and weightless with this product, but it's not that big of a difference. Plus, I'm a lazy gal, and if possible, I'd prefer to use a 2-in-1 product instead (though since my usual brand of 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/treatment is being discontinued, I might be on the hunt for a replacement soon). I'd recommend this to a friend, but I'd only come back and buy this after trying out all the new brands out there (like Head & Shoulders).
