Shine? WHAT Shine?
When I was much younger and drugstore shelves were not overloaded with skin and hair products, it was much easier to know what worked and what didn't. Certain brands always lived up to their claims, and Pantene was one of them. Neutrogena and Vitabath were other companies which were highly respected and always effective (I'm still hooked on these). My hair back then (before coloring it permanently changed my cuticle, leaving it lacking) was strong, luxurious, and so shiny that I was amazed. I wanted to keep it that way, to protect it. So I bought Pantene's basic shampoo and conditioner, very high-brow products at that time, available only at department stores and recommended by my stylist. My parents were a bit shocked at the price but gave me the money I needed nonetheless. Despite the price, the conditioner from days of yore was worth far more than I paid. The old formula worked wonders; my tresses were akin to strands of silk between my fingers, and the conditioner left my hair voluminous and swingy, with even more sheen. I tried "Pro-V Ice Shine" hoping to bring back some of the gleam it used to have (with a degree in marketing, I have to admit that the words "ice shine" brilliantly stayed in my mind and made me purchase it). This product was a huge disappointment. Pantene, what have you done? Have you caved to the demands of commercialism? If this didn't have your name on the bottle, I would never have associated it with the same company. My hair was still rough after washing. Gone was the satiny feel. Shine? WHAT SHINE? I washed it again and used another conditioner because my hair had actually been dried out by this product. A conditioner that dries hair? For shame. I've been hesitant to use Pantene since this unfortunate experience. I hope they revert to their previous, unprecedented wonderful products! In the meanwhile, I have a partially-used bottle for anyone who would like it. — 2 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Drying
I'm not trying to be a negative nancy, but I didn't really get the shine effect from this. It pretty much just dried out my hair and left it tangly. Then again, I have difficult hair. Either way. I would not try this again. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

It's Ok
It's ok , not very nourshing though. There are other conditioners by Pantene that I like much better so I won't be buying this one again. — 5 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
