PANTENE PRO-V OIL REPLACEMENT CREAM ~ Review
PANTENE PRO-V OIL REPLACEMENT CREAM
It's been long since I have reviewed any product. As you guys have already seen the title. So, today I will be sharing my honest review and thoughts on the most raved product on YouTube by many beauty bloggers, i.e; PANTENE Pro-V Oil Replacement Cream. Currently Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and renowned Youtuber Lilly Singh - Superwoman has been seen promoting this newly launched product.
Before I starting the review, I would like to give a little introduction about the type of the hair I have. My hair is smooth, natural straight, with medium density, and little dryness going on at the tips of the hair, which tends to get frizzy during Monsoon season. Being a makeup artist and hair stylist, a special lookout for my hair is always needed. Hair Spa can also help to manage the hair frizziness to some extent, but it's not feasible for us to spend that much time in the Salon and it's not even cost-effective as Spa does not last for more than a week on normal healthy hair. It's better to use any handy product which you can use on-the-go.
Earlier, I was using L'Oreal Paris 6 Oil Nourish Oil-in-cream, that product was totally a worthy buy and it does actually works wonder on my hair. I don't experiment too much with my hair, but when I saw this product I thought, let's just give it a try.
Excuse me for blabbering so much. Now, coming back to the product:
PRODUCT CLAIMS:-
PACKAGING:-
The Oil-in-cream is available in a very classy, gorgeous golden-yellow colored tube with a golden, flip top cap, that makes the tube more sturdy, spill-proof, easy to carry and travel friendly.
COMPOSITION:-
Here I am segregating some of the best ingredients, which are good for the hair. By no mean I am trying to say that other ingredients are bad for your hair. As per my knowledge, please see the list down below:
GLUTAMIC ACID: It's an acidic amino acid, which provides strength to our hair.
PANTHENOL (Vit B5): These are high anti-oxidants which protect and nourish the hair.
CITRIC ACID: Works as natural hair conditioner.
LIMONENE: Helps to tame down the frizz of the hair.
Rest other ingredients are some parabens and some chemical formulations to preserve and store the composition.
TEXTURE:-
The texture of the cream is neither too thick nor runny. It has a medium-to-thick, creamy consistency which glides smoothly on my hair, even on dry hair. The colour of the cream is white and it gets easily absorbed in the hair quickly without leaving any residue or cast on the hair, it does not feel sticky or oily and makes hair more manageable and smooth to touch.
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY:-
This product is widely available in the local drugstore and cosmetic stores near you at very affordable prices of Rs.85 for 80ml and Rs.150 for 180ml.
SHELF LIFE:-
The shelf life of this product is 3 years the from manufacturing date.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:-
I have used this product in multiple ways:
- Use as a pre-conditioner or hair spa treatment before doing shampoo, to detangle the hair easily. Apply the product on hair lengths and massage gently. Keep it on for good 20-30 minutes and use regular shampoo followed by a conditioner for long-lasting result.
- It can be used as a heat-protector before blow-drying, curling and straightening of the hair.
As the formulation of the cream contains oil, which provides deep nourishment to the hair, and works great on hair, thus making them more manageable and soft to touch, keeping in mind the product should be strictly applied on lengths only, avoiding the roots/scalp completely.
This cream is good for dry/dull/damaged hair too. It repairs dry-rough, textured hair, providing the hair a nice shine and finish to it.
It works great and can be replaced with serum for frizz-free hair.
Post shower, on damp hair use this cream as a leave-in cream by taking a desired amount starting from the top along the lengths and comb through the hair for equal distribution of the product.
Its's a no-rinse conditioner. Hence, no need to be washed off after application.
PROS:-
- Available at affordable prices with good amount of product.
- Sturdy, Leak-proof and Travel-friendly packaging.
- The product has a strong but pleasant smell of floral or fruity. The smell lasts quite a long on hair too, which keeps hair fresh throughout the day.
- Can be used as a multi-purpose hair cream.
- Can be applied on both damp and dry hair and provides the best results in both ways.
- Smooth and rich texture which does not stick to the hair and absorbs effectively.
- Detangles hair efficiently to reduce the hair fall caused by hair damage.
- The formulation is very light which does not weigh down the hair.
- Contains more of parabens and other preservatives. Definitely not a replacement for natural oil.
- Results are not permanent, but it is good as a leave-in cream only which gives instant result to hair and protects hair from damage.
- Not a permanent solution to hair damage.
OVERALL REVIEW:-
A chemical-based product can never be as effective as natural oils, so, can't be replaced as well. So, one should not skip oiling, no matter how busy their schedule is. Oiling needs to be done at least once in a week and such leave-in creams should be used as a part of regular hair care just like we use facial creams. However, this product is good for the normal dry/damaged hair, as regular usage of the product can make hair texture smoother and ruly. But for extremely damaged hair, it will not going to work effectively, but to some extent can provide hydration to it which is not permanent though. Overall, it's a good product and every girl and woman should use such handy product to look gorgeous in no time.
