Pantene Shampoo & Conditioner Set

I don’t really enjoy leaving reviews, but I found these Pantene products to be so shockingly good that I felt compelled to share in case it helps someone else who struggles to find a great shampoo and conditioner for relaxed hair. My husband swears by Pantene for his hair, which I found useless for mine about 10 years back. Surprisingly, after reviewing several products across the brand/price spectrum, I decided to give Pantene’s Gold Series set a try. Go figure. I liked their story on how the products were formulated. To my shock and glee, the shampoo and conditioner were a godsend! I don’t know what happened over the last 10 years, but this time, things were different between Pantene and me! Only there was this nagging disappointment with the markup and size (down) compared to the other Pantene shampoo and conditioner sets. I decided to try the Daily Moisture Renewal Pro-V set because of the great customer reviews, Amazon’s Rufus analysis, the huge bottle sizes, and the price per fluid ounce being so much cheaper than the Gold Series set, which is approximately 118.42% more expensive. Here’s how I would describe each set. Gold Series: Smells delicious like a combination of flowers, fruit, and candy. Shampoo (8.5 fl oz bottle) lathers well and makes hair immediately soft after a first and second wash. The conditioner (8.4 fl oz tube) is epic at detangling and smoothing, leaving hair feeling soft, light, and beautifully scented. Daily Moisture Renewal Pro-V: Has a lasting fresh herbal scent. Shampoo (27.7 fl oz bottle) lathers well and makes hair immediately soft after a first and second wash. The conditioner (25.1 fl oz bottle) is epic at detangling and smoothing, leaving hair feeling soft, deeply moisturized, and beautifully scented. Bottom line: I’ll be sticking with the Daily Moisture Renewal Pro-V series for now. They’re all great products, but the crazy markup and the tiny bottle sizes for the Gold Series are just a bummer. I hope Pantene will fix this soon so that all customers feel like they’re getting a fair price for the products that work best for their hair...
