Pantene Nature Care Shampoo and Conditioner Takes Us Back To Nature

August 12, 2011 Paris B 19 Comments

I know we all love things in jumbo supersized packs for value right? A 1 litre bottle of shower gel that costs RM50 offers so much more value than a 300ml bottle at RM20 – ah we can do our math when it counts! 😉 But you know what? I’m glad for products that come in smaller sized bottles. It allows me to try it at a cheaper price, then allows me to decide if I’d like to stay with it in which case I’d invest in the jumbo supersized packs, or if I’d ditch it.

pantene nature shampoo and conditioner review

So when I spotted the new Pantene Nature hair care range going at some ridiculous offer price of RM7.99 or RM8.99… or something really ridiculous like that for a small bottle (170ml), I picked up a bottle of shampoo and conditioner to give it a go. I’m nearly done with both bottles so its naturally (hur hur 😛 ) a good time to tell you about it!

This range of Pantene hair care is easily distinguishable by their green caps and green tinted packaging. Even the shampoo and conditioner bear the same pale green colour which is rather disconcerting.

According to the ads on TV, it is supposed to give you bouncy hair and give more fullness and shine, especially to limp hair. Well, small problem right there. I don’t have limp hair but then, I don’t usually pay much attention to these claims anyway.

An interesting note is that I found myself finishing up both bottles of shampoo and conditioner at about the same time. Its strange isn’t it? Most of you may have the condition known as “I-finished-my-conditioner-before-shampoo-darnit” because you will notice that you end up using more conditioner than shampoo. In this case however, I noted that you do not need a lot of conditioner to detangle the hair so I don’t use very much. Also, a little does do what a conditioner usually does – detangle hair and leave it feeling soft – so I don’t use more. Just as well really.

pantene nature care shampoo and conditioner

Otherwise, the shampoo cleans my hair well, does not make my scalp oily and the conditioner does not weigh my hair down. There is a fragrance which isn’t super strong nor does it remain on my hair. At first use, and during the first 2 weeks, I must say I liked this – my hair felt light and clean and bouncy. I do note however, that after a couple of months using just this shampoo and conditioner, my hair is still bouncy and full of volume… but it feels stiff. The shine promised? I didn’t see it.

So, I’m glad there were small bottles available to try at a good promotional price so for me, it wasn’t bank breaking to give it a go. I’m not sure I’ll repurchase though. I have fickle hair.

In a nutshell

An affordable hair care range that does what it says on the tin. The scent is light and not cloying and does not linger on my hair. I like the conditioner as you do not need a lot to detangle and smoothen your hair. However, the shampoo used on its own does not cause hair to feel dry after rinsing. After about 2 months use, I found my hair feeling a little stiff. For reference, I have short hair that naturally has volume.

Pros: Affordable, Hair feels soft and bouncy during initial use, Lightly perfumed and not cloying, Only a little Conditioner is needed

Cons:After 2 months use my hair feels stiff

You know what? I can’t find any information about this range online and it would appear that we in Asia (Or South East Asia at any rate) get a different range from that sold in Europe and the USA. So I don’t know if its available in Western markets or if it is, under a different name.

As for the “Nature” element in its name, from what little I can find and from what’s printed on the bottles, it would appear that Pantene has infused this range of products with a “blend of naturally derived ingredients” … which erm… makes sense. I guess.

So what say you – are you glad that brands package their products in small “trial” sizes or are you a “let me have a go at that jumbo supersized value pack” consumer? 😀

Pantene Nature Care Shampoo and Conditioner are available at all pharmacies, supermarkets etc. Retail price is unknown but I purchased mine for about RM7.99/170ml each.

    i now usually buy larger size conditioner and smaller bottles of shampoo as it’s more economical for me, i always have the problem conditioner runs out way faster than shampoo!

    i am more interested in the clinicare range rather than this, but I think Tine loves this one? Can’t remember already, a shame that your hair feels stiff though.

      I used to do that too… but since I’m so fickle these days, I don’t bother anymore and just use them and mix and match whenever with whatever hehe….

      LOL! Yeah miniatures or deluxe samples are usually perfect but in this case, it took 2 months for me to realise this was making my hair stiff 🙁 Pity really.

    This is so strange, I always use more shampoo than conditioner, usually the ratio is 2 shampoos to 1-1.5 conditioner(s) :O How does that even happen?

    I like smaller size (at reasonable price) to try and if I like it (and live somewhere permanent), I’ll get the 1L size and decant to smaller tubes as I schlep them around 😀

      Perhaps because you have short hair? 😀 When I have long hair, I find I use more conditioner. But now that my hair is back to being short, I’m using a more equal amount of both which is really so much less of a headache when replenishing!

    I love trial packs! Although I think they tend to put the better stuff in trial packs and the commercial ones are, if not, slightly worse than the trial packs.

      LOL!! You know what? I tend to agree with you! 😀 Sometimes, we use the sample sachet and its wonderful but when we buy the full size, its crap 😛 So I prefer deluxe sample sizes or miniatures or smaller bottles like this one 🙂

    Usually I just get the jumbo sizes. >.< It depends on what is on promotion, so I may not switch shampoo brands after perhaps of years because Mom hoards them heh heh heh.

      Don’t you find your hair get bored? Mine does. A shampoo that works for me for months may just suddenly stop working. I think my hair has a short attention span.

    Oh no! Why is your hair stiff after 2 months? Actually, that happens to me a lot…the first few uses of a new shampoo and conditioner and my hair seems to love it…but before I manage to finish the bottles, my hair falls out of love. SIGHS.

    I would purchase them in trial sizes just like you because my scalp is the most temperamental thing in the world! It acts up like no tomorrow so I am extremely careful with what I use! My hair seems to be loyal only to conditioners (I drink my conditioners) but with shampoos, le sigh! I can never get the scalp to like a single shampoo and actually stick with it! =(

      I’m lucky I don’t usually react hair products. Well, unless they make my scalp flake or itchy which has happened before. Otherwise, I’m usually relaxed about my hair – have too many other things to think about! LOL

    I have been using this for a few months while on accutane and my hair was light and shiny. love! but now that I stopped the med, my hair became super oily even than before (my skin too sob) and I stopped using it. Have been trying super many shampoos for oily hair/scalp e.g. Kiehls’s tea tree oil shampoo, paul mitchell clarifying shampoo, avalon organics tea tree oil shampoo and organix cherry blossom shampoo, but my scalp still oozes oil and itches T___T can I seek help from your readers, dear Paris, anyone got a good shampoo for oily scalp to recommend?? Forever grateful!!!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
