There seem to be 2348723 reviews on the new Pantene Hair Fall hair care line online so my review here probably will not add anything to that mix. Still, if you haven’t read all those 2348723 reviews here are my thoughts. I’ll keep them short. Mostly because I know those who have read the other 2348723 reviews will be sick to their teeth of hearing about this shampoo and conditioner series 🙂
I do have something to show you from Pantene that I like though you’re going to have to sit through the Hair Fall review first 😛
So Pantene Hair Fall Shampoo and Conditioner. Not “new” anymore by the time I’m getting round to it. I don’t have a drastic hair fall problem so I cannot gauge whether it stopped my hair from falling. My shower stall does seem less clogged with hair. Although it might be because I’m cleaning it more often too 😛
I dislike the shampoo. There I’ve said it. Its nice for the hair but the strong sweet honeydew smell makes me feel sick. Boo!!! But if you can stand the scent or maybe even like it, then the shampoo is pretty decent stuff. It actually makes my hair feel soft, which is quite a feat on dry, colored hair.
By contrast, I prefer the scent in the Pantene Hair Fall Conditioner which smells nothing like the shampoo. Its lighter without that cloying honeydew smell (I dislike honeydew in any form) and a small dollop does the trick to smoothen and soften the hair very quickly. Do note that I have short hair, and there is less dryness at my hair ends. So I will repurchase the conditioner.
What about the Pantene Hair Fall Intensive Treatment Hair Mask then? Well, I didn’t think much of it. It felt like a thicker version of the conditioner with the same scent (thank goodness!) but it didn’t do all that much to make my hair feel any better than it already did after conditioning. So whilst it is nice, I’d probably still stick with the conditioner.
So you probably get where I’m going by now. I’d ditch the shampoo in a jiffy, buy the condtioner and probably pass on the hair mask. In a nutshell 🙂
Pros: Conditioner makes and keeps hair soft with just very little used, Affordable
Cons: Honeydew scent in shampoo is too strong sweet and cloying for me, Hair mask and conditioner did not feel much different
Now for that other Pantene line that I am enjoying. Its the Pantene Aqua Light series, which we do not get here in Malaysia for now. Not sure when it’ll get here if it does (I’ll update when I know). Mine came from the UK where it was launched this year.
Sadly, the shampoo has a honeydew scent too but its a lot lighter than what I noticed in the Hair Fall line. I’ve been using it for a bit now, and I’ll have a full review up in a while.
Yes I quite like the Aqua Light series … in a nutshell 🙂
So, after you regular readers have read what is now 2348724 reviews about the Pantene Hair Fall line, have you formed your own views or have you tried it yourselves and have any thoughts you’d like to share? 😀
Paris B
Pantene Hair Fall Shampoo and Conditioner retail at RM9.50/180ml RM13.50/350ml, Intensive Hair Treatment at RM14.90/135ml and is available at pharmacies, supermarkets etc. Pantene Aqua Light is not available in Malaysia and was purchased from the UK for about £3.99/500ml each or £5 for 2.
I find the hair fall line to be too heavy. I can’t use the conditioner at all. Aqua Light sounds nice! wonder if they’ll have that here
Who knows eh? My hair is frizzy so the conditioner is great for that 🙂
Ooohhh if the Aqua Light one is anything like the super old Organics Light shampoo i’ll be all over it!! 😀
And yeah, the honeydew melon scent from the hair fall control line makes me sick too!! >.<
Hmm don’t remember the old line but the Aqua Light is nice! Its er… Light he he
I’m using the conditioner and quite like it actually 🙂 Hope the Aqua Light gets to Malaysia though!
Yep! Out of the whole range its just the conditioner doing it for me. Doesn’t smell too strongly or sweet either!
Hmmm, I love the honeydew scent actually 🙂 I’m using the anti-dandruff shampoo and each time I use it, I feel like floating in honeydew heaven! Sure explains my electricity and water bills now, LOL!
Haha! So long as you like the smell of honeydew (which I don’t) its actually not a bad range. I guess I’m just disliking it for the scent 😉
Yep, scents are one of those you love it or hate it kinda thing.
Yup just like perfumes 😀 That’s what makes us all unique – would be so boring if we all liked the same thing huh? 😀
If it’s any consolation, I’ve not read other reviews of this line, so no worries with me, haha..
Haha then it’ll be new for you! Yay! 😉
I should check this out. My post-pregnancy hair fall problem still persists 4 years down the road…..sigh!
Hmm… good to give it a try then! 🙂
Interesting! I, on the other hand, liked the hair mask better than the conditioner. 🙂
Good to know! I thought the hair mask was just the same only in a tub LOL!
I have not been a fan of pantene.
Have you tried clariol herbal essence smooth lovin shampoo? Really calms down my frizzy hair. No bed hair in the morning even though I slept with it about 90.% dry.
I haven’t tried Clairol actually. Actually I have many years ago before they revamped it. It felt a little harsh on my hair then. But perhaps its better now? I’ll give it a go the next time I spot it on sale
Yes. Last time with the clear shampoos in the clariol line sucks. Now it is fab! I love the hydrating one at first. Keeps my scalp non oily longer than other shampoos. But now comes the smooth loving’ one which is awesome!! I use that shampoo with the conditional of the hydrating one. Wonderfully tame hair everyday. 🙂
Alrighty! The next time I see a sale I’ll pick up the Clairol and give it a go 😀
I can’t use Pantene… it always makes my hair so greasy!
Oh dear! Even the Aqua Light one? It really felt very light and nice 🙂
i love the scent and i like the mask more than the conditioner heh! but i can’t go on a day without washing my hair when i use the shampoo… prolly too conditioning for my oily scalp. i wish pantene here has a clarifying line or something.
Ooh you know what? I saw an Aqua Light clarifying shampoo in the UK! Let’s hope they bring it in 🙂 I wash my hair everyday, whatever shampoo I use so I guess I didn’t notice if it was weighing down my hair much… or maybe the last hair colour fried me hair too much 😀
I have been using the Pantene Anti Hairfall Intensive Treatment for more than a month.. it is not a good product, from my point of view. I have a really bad hair fall..that I must admit, but it only happen when i am combing my hair. But since I am using Pantene Anti Hairfall range (shampoo, conditioner and intensive treatment), my hair fall turned to hair loss.. it seems that the hair loss is becoming more severe when i am shampooing my hair..it does not really effective to strengthen the hair roots as claimed..
