Pantene: Relaxed and Natural

I use them and love them. The hair oil moisturizing creme is INCREDIBLE! It's much lighter than Optimum and Pink Oil brands and doesn't sit on the hair. After you've applied it and gotten it into your hair, you can really feel the difference and can tell that it's penetrated the hair shaft. I love it.

Wow, totally different responses! I really do want to try it though. It looks really good(the breakage collection). 

Oh yeah, here are the ingredients in the  Daily Cream Moisterizer is:

Water , Mineral Oil , Glycerin , Petrolatum , Cetearyl Alcohol , Dicetyl Phosphate , Cyclopentasiloxane , Dimethicone , Isodecyl Oleate , Sorbitan Stearate , Fragrance , Panthenol Pantene Pro-Vitamin Complex , Panthenyl Ethyl Ether Shampoo and Conditioner vs. Non-Conditioning Shampoo Alone , Cocos Nucifera Oil Coconut , Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil Jojoba , Lysine HCI Pantene Amino Protein Complex , Methyl Tyrosinate HCI Pantene Amino Protein Complex , Histidine Pantene Amino Protein Complex , Paraffin , Triethanolamine , PEG-100 Stearate , Glyceryl Stearate , Methylparaben , Phenoxyethanol , Disodium EDTA , Propylparaben

.. Well Patene Relaxed & Natural did nothing for my hair what-so-ever.  I used the line awhile back when I had a really bad scalp problem.  It didn't get my hair fully clean(even though it was Anti-Dandruff), and it dried my hair out enough to where I didn't buy it again.  The only thing I can remember liking about this product was that it smelled delightful. -- So nevertheless, I say 1 out of 5 stars. (I have 4a hair!)

Just my 2cents though

 

I agree.  Since Ive quit using prducts with mineral oil and petroleum, my hair has been so healthy and shiny, like never before.

So you suggest only the conditioner?? I am gonna try this (as a deep conditioner) and Cream of Nature Shampoo.

Oh yeah, i forgot to ask, what's wrong with protien??? and what would yall suggest for a moisterizer??

I have tried the moisturizer, shampoo and conditioner.  I liked the shampoo and conditioner but I stopped using the shampoo because of sulfate's.  They were both very detangling and softening.  I still use the conditioner on occasion.  Now the moisturizer did nothing for me.  It was just like putting lotion or something on my hair and plus it has mineral oil in it and that's a no no for me now.

I'm not feelin the mineral oil either in the product, but I tried the shampoo and my hair was soft afterwards, since it has mineral oil in it me personally, I would recommend using a good clarifying shampoo every now and then to fight build up from mineral oil and such.

I use them, I like the shampoo and conditioner but the moisturizing cream is just too greasy, I know our hair needs more moisture than other races, but man, does it have to be soo heavy. They have a new product called defence or something like that, I haven't tried it as yet.

I've tried Pantene, Vidal Sassoon, John Frieda, Suave, Garnier Fructis, Optimum, Nexxus (there are exceptions), St. Ives, Herbal Essences, VO5, Tresemme, Queen Helene, Black n' Sassy, Hollywood Beauty, Fantasia, African Pride, Elasta QP (there are exceptions), Sulfur 8, African Royale, Lottabody, Neutrogena, Aussie, Infusium 23, Marc Anthony, Luster's, Straight Arrow's Mane n' Tail, SAMY, and maybe some more off-brands. Except somewhat good products Nexxus Humectress, and Elasta QP Creme Conditioning Shampoo, I found these products to be garbage.

We become product junkies because we focus on what's on the front of the bottle, i.e., advertising that claims it is especially for black consumers, with pictures of long-haired models. If we turn the bottles around we'll notice things like ammonium/sodium lauryl sulfates, cetrimonium choride, and quaternium 18. Many times the "black" products and "white" products have exactly the same chemical make-up; alkaline shampoos and runny wax-like conditioners.

I switched to CON's Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo. It is more acidic and has cocobetaine in it, which is better for me. Also, Capilo Cinnamon and Sole cond, acidic. I did try Salerm 21 on a fluke, but it turned out to be the one of the most impressive products I've ever used.

To conclude this essay:

Please, in general, read the back of the product's label, and compare the ingredients to those in the products you know already don't work for you. If they're the same, put it back on the shelf, and resist the PJ-ism with all your might.
