Pantene Relaxed & Natural Line

I decided to do my first review on a line that most people have probably run to at the beginning of their hair care journey. Fortunately this is a line that I have tried practically ALL of the main products accept for the mask which I've heard great reviews on. I'll start in the order of which I tried them.

Shampoo: I loved and STILL love this shampoo, but only when washing my own hair as in not in a weave. This shampoo is pretty much the only shampoo that I can put in my hair and will continue to give good "slip" and keeps the hair detangled and moisturized while doing so. When shampooing I have a problem with my hair tangling or just feeling dry. I will continue to use this shampoo as long as I am washing my own hair. The ony thing I find comparable to this is Garnie Fructis's sleek and shine.

Conditioner: I always wanted to like this product but it never really did much of anything for me. I finally used up my last bottle this week by just putting it in my hair for a quick conditioner rinse but the last time I used it I actually sat under the dryer and tried to do a deep conditioner. The product did NOTHING for me, and I actually saw more breakage afterward than I'd seen in a very long time. I will probably never buy this product again accept for conditioner washes because I still love the smell and can't be the worst product on the market. It does make the hair shine though.

Moisturizer: Still did NOTHING for my hair. I used this product while relaxed and natural and it really just took my press out of my hair which makes me pretty angry. Everyone knows that after that good press sometimes you just need to moisturize or have something to lay those edges down with, for my hair this was NOT the one. As soon as it hit my hair no matter how much I brushed or smoother my hair just continued to curl up which made me angry. I guess I never really focused on the moisturizing properties because I don't like to leave my hair curly.

Oil Sheen Spray: The one thing I love about the Pantene line is it's smell and this definatly gives your hair that yummy pantene smell. That's all I really use it for. If it needs a quick pick me up after I leave the club, I usually use this to take that stinky smoke smell out. If I use too much it feels a little watery for an oil and I don't like it. It also weighs my hair down a little and I have thin hair, so it's not the best in terms of sheen sprays but great for the smell :)

Wrap and set Lotion: I just don't get it...... I've never been and rap and set kind of girl but even when I tried it I still just didn't get the point. I have an entire bottle of this stuff left though so I'm going to continue to try it. I was looking for something to weight my hair down a little and it worked for a second but really not that much. I think I just need someone to tell me the purpose of it. LOL!

One of my best friends actually uses this entire line and uses it to death! She won't really buy any other products and her hair is very healthy but she ALWAYS has breakage, but for her it doesn't seem to be a problem because she loves keeping her hair short and she gets regular trims. She's also relaxed though which may be the difference. Who knows??? For me I would never use any of this line again accept for the shampoo and maybe the mask if I ever get the chance to try it.
